The accommodations were exactly what I had hoped for. I stayed a month and was very comfortable. Condo is in a prime location, has a 24 hour guard station, pool, jacuzzi, and dedicated parking spot. I was provided with a basket of items that I really needed (trash bags, washer pods, dish soap, and snacks). I intend to return every year! Highly recommend!

Everything you might need

Lovely condo with super comfy bed and well stocked kitchen. The Ritz Pointe location is the best in Dana Point, convenient to shopping, dining and walking. The owners did a great job of decorating and supplying the condo and Jeff and his management team are top notch!

Everything was good except we did notice a couple things during our stay. When we stripped the bed to morning we were leaving, noticed an empty waterbottle wedged in between the bed and dresser and an orange ball under that dresser. We just left them as didn’t particularly want to touch . There was a dish in kitchen which was put away but not totally clean. Other than that, it was fine.
