Rent by the month, come and go as you please . **Testimonials** Just wanted to let you know that we enjoyed our time at your beach condo. Strand Beach is a beautiful beach and it was nice being so close. While we didn't have the view we had hoped to have, being walking distance certainly made up for it. And we really appreciated the?beach toys, umbrellas, beach chairs, beach towels that you provided. That was great! Our grandson had so much fun playing with all those toys. We all had a wonderful time! The condo was very clean and had most everything we needed.' - Carolyn Corona, CA,
'We really enjoyed the condo in Dana Point. It was a great location for all our activites. Great with the 10 month old with the master bedroom and the private bath. The play pen worked well. Thanks much!' - Jim , Wausau, WI,
'We found this property to be absolutely perfect! We only had to walk across the street to get down to the beach. The neighborhood was nice, the boys LOVED the pool, the layout of the home is perfect - having two bathrooms. I appreciated very much having the laptop that I could use - so thank you for that extra! We were THRILLED to see beach items at the home so we didn't have to buy any extra things and were very appreciative of the toiletries and cleaning supplies. We would HIGHLY recommend this property to anyone. We rented it with my husband, myself, my mom and our two boys and it worked wonderfully! The area is FANTASTIC!! We never had to travel more than 10 minutes away in the whole time we were there. Everything is SO close! We will be keeping this in mind if we visit again. Jon ! Canon City, CO,

'We very much enjoyed our vacation with the grandchildren in California. The weather was great and they enjoyed all of the activities that we were able to undertaken including the beaches, swimming pool, Disneyland and the San Diego zoo. We even took them to the museum at San Juan Capistrano. The annual return of the swallows was one of those early childhood memories of mine, so it was Grampa's time'! Doug, Canada.
'We so enjoyed our stay at your condo. The amenities were ideal for our family of four. It is in the perfect location -- beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean, close to Disneyland, and it's not too far from San Diego. The views in Dana Point are spectacular. We took advantage of a whale watching/dolphin watching excursion and ate at The Brig almost every day. We had a great time, and we sincerely appreciate letting us use your condo for our most enjoyable vacation! We will definitely consider renting this condo again. Judie Phoenix, AZ ' - Judie

3 1/2 month stay at Strand beach
We stayed from mid Dec to end of March. The condo is located in a n excellent location across street from the beach,near restaurants, shopping and walking paths. The floor was poorly cleaned by the cleaning crew when we arrived so I started by cleaning the floor. The owner told me I should have let her know and she would have sent them back to clean it but didn't want to wait. The living room furniture is well used and could be upgraded but adequate.
The kitchen is well stocked. The beds were comfortable and clean. We had a issue and the owner responded promptly and was available to assist for further issues. We had a wonderful winter as we thoroughly enjoyed the beach and the area.

A little bit of paradise.
Enjoyed waking up and walk by the beach and looking out to the ocean. The sunsets were beautiful. We did some boat rides in the marina and also visited a concert in the park. The Ritz hotel was a great place to have lunch an watch the waves come in. The best was the cool weather while everyone back home was experience ing 100 degree weather.

Dee’s Condo
Dee’s condo is located in a beautiful area! The condo has lots of sunlight and directly across from Strands Beach and the ocean-we loved that!
However, the condo itself could use a little TLC. and attention. We were disappointed that some of the everyday necessities that you would need for a stay, was not supplied. We went ahead and purchased the items ourselves needed for us and future guests.
The neighbors are very nice in the connecting units!

Best possible location!!
We stayed for nearly 2 months and we enjoyed it very much. The apartment is in the best possible location and the neighborhood and neighbors are wonderful. You have immediate access to the beach and with a short walk you will find plenty of restaurants. Grocery shopping is in reach within 5-10 minutes by car.
The apartment is well equipped. Some of the furnitures are a little dated but you will find everything you are looking for.
The only concern for some of the future renters might be the circumstances that the owner/tenant upstairs takes his DAILY shower at 5.45 am.....sunshine or rain.....Monday or Saturday. They also use the bathroom at least 3 times a night and you can hear them using the bathroom and flushing the water. If you have a good sleep that might not be an issue but I woke up early every day.
The property manager is very responsive and friendly!!
Overall it was a very pleasant stay with no issues!!

Love this ocean view retreat!
The location of this unit was perfect for the two of us and for our grandchildren who came to visit. There is a grassy area right outside this lower unit to sit or play on. We are right across the street from the parking lot that overlooks Strands Beach and the furnicular entrance to the beach. The unit is cozy and comfortable with plenty of natural light for a lower unit. The owners were responsive to our needs. We hope to stay here again!

Fabulous ocean breeze condo!
Many thanks to owners Dee, and husband Frank, for their immediate responsivness to questions upon our arrival. We escaped 2 months of Arizona's summer heat to enjoy the very comfortable open air condo, Dana Point, beaches, restaurants, parks, pool, people, the wharf, two near-by Trader Joe's, and so much more. The condo is well maintained and furnished as well as stocked in a welcoming manner. We hope to return. Thanks so much!. Barbie and Brent...
