ATTRACTIONS: STARBOARD CHARM is just up the road from the Dana Point Harbor and downtown Dana Point. Located near the north end of Dana Point referred to as Monarch Beach, it is just a short 15-minute drive into the beautiful and artsy famous seaside town of Laguna Beach. It is also within a short 15 minute drive (or a 30 minute bike ride for the more adventurous types) from the historic town of San Juan Capistrano with the Mission San Juan Capistrano, quaint Los Rios District, antique shops, restaurants, and art galleries. There’s even a petting zoo for the smaller members in your family!
The city was named after the headland of Dana Point, which was in turn named after Richard Henry Dana, Jr., author of Two Years Before the Mast, which included a description of the area. Dana described the locale, including neighboring San Juan Capistrano, as "the only romantic spot on the coast.” Although Dana described the anchorage as poor, it is now a developed harbor and contains a replica of his ship, the Pilgrim. The Ocean Institute, located at the harbor, uses the Pilgrim as a classroom. Come and explore Dana Point at STARBOARD CHARM! We look forward to having you as our Guests!

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.

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!
