Great place in Dana Point

This was a great base for us to stay in Dana Point when we were visiting for a wedding. The house had everything we needed and was a great location to walk down to the lantern district and explore the coast.

Extremely clean home in a prime location. Grocery store near to stock up on the essentials as well if your staying for an extended period. My kids and I enjoyed the outdoor area the most before heading out for the day or when we returned for the evening. Will return for sure.

Great stay

We enjoyed our stay, especially the backyard mini-oasis! The house was on a high traffic road, but we didn’t notice any noise once inside. Everything was clean and comfortable.

An Oasis

We loved coming “home” to our little oasis after a day of activities. We were in town for a wedding and this was the perfect spot to stay. It was very comfortable for us - two couples. And the courtyard was so beautiful. Thank you for providing such a great rental.

Convenient, Quaint Family Get Away

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The process to reserve and communication for the property was amazing! Very responsive and nice! Location was great - very convenient and close to everything! Disappointed with the musty, moldy smell in the master bedroom. The humidifier filled quickly and did not alleviate the horrible smell coming from the carpeting in the master bedroom. The in-unit washer and dryer also did not work properly and took forever to dry clean clothes. The backyard and jacuzzi were amazing!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great rental in a beautiful location within walking distance to The Lantern District! Though located on a somewhat busy road, it is relatively quiet. The bedrooms have PLENTY of closet space. Bed was super comfortable and the master shower - AMAZING! The outdoor space is beautiful and tranquil. We contacted the rental agency on the first evening regarding a door we had trouble locking (completely operator error) and they responded immediately. This will be our go-to rental whenever we visit family in the future. It is THE best!!

If you're looking for a location close to the lantern district, it is close to everything. close to the beach and all the shopping areas. The back yard is so beautiful with privacy of bushes and the hot tub was very nice and enjoyable. Several dining spots surround the area and all within walking distance. Will definitely stay here again. Can't wait to come back Thank you so much for a wonderful time. The property manager company was very helpful if we had any questions.
