Such a great little place for my husband and me!!! We come to visit our two boys and their families and this is the perfect location to do that. We love the easy walks to restaurants and my favorite coffee sho. The harbor is about a 20 minute walk and is a great place to hang out! Love the sunny deck! Be sure to check out the farmers market on Saturday just two blocks away.
The host, Brian, is so gracious and accommodating….. thank you Brian for all of your help!!!
We will definitely be back!!!

Upon arrival, there was a stale odor in the air. The kitchen faucet was loose at the base, and there was a portable thermostat inside the oven which the oven itself appeared to not work properly. Vertical blinds in the bedroom were a bit of a mess with one panel leaning against the wall. The sliding shower doors as well as the bedroom sliding closet doors were not secured in their track and could swing back and forth. All the dirty beach items were stored in the only closet in the bedroom, so no place to hang your clothes. Bedroom ceiling needed a good dusting with dust clumps hanging down. Ceiling fan in bedroom was so wobbly we were afraid to turn it on while sleeping, not to mention it made a constant knocking noise. Furniture appeared to be dated and worn. The air conditioning unit in the front room was a portable unit with the exhaust feeding out of the front sliding window, which we were uncomfortable with and did not use since we didn’t feel safe leaving a front facing window open while we were out or asleep. As frequent vacationers to Dana Point, this place was a disappointment.

Great location and area in Dana Point
We enjoyed our stay while visiting our daughter and her family. We were concerned about the on-street parking but it never became a problem.

Beautiful location, tiny apartment full of rules
This was a beautiful apartment, but quite tiny. We loved the location and the back deck is a big plus. Our main issues were the walls had scuffs, the blinds in the bedroom were all broken and wouldn't open without struggle, there was a missing blind on the window above the bed, and the rules really make you wonder why you're paying a cleaning fee. You're expected to do all the dishes before leaving, but there is no dishwasher, and you're required to take the trash outside to the bins. Overall, we had a good stay, but not as relaxing as we had hoped. I come on vacation to avoid chores. On the plus side, the furniture and bed were very comfy, and again, we loved the location.

Very sweet little place. Loved the location as we love to walk. About a 15 minute walk to the harbor, lots of restaurants and coffee shops. Worked perfect for us since we have family in Dana Point- a 5 minute walk away. We also fully enjoyed the deck - perfect sunny spot on an afternoon in February.
The living room furniture is a little worn, but all comfy.
We hope to be back.

Very good, clean, close to everything
Cute little apartment, very close to the beaches and freeways. Only annoying part was there is only street parking, so you have to hunt for a spot to parallel park. We only had trouble finding parking one of the nights, which was a weekend.
Overall, great little place to stay. Felt like a very safe neighborhood too

Great spot in the lantern district. It was really nice to have a kitchen and elevated porch/deck to enjoy some sunshine while eating. There are some food options in easy walking distance. We had a great time and will stay here again!

Excellent location in a very friendly and safe neighborhood
We were in town for a wedding and the location was perfect. The neighborhood was friendly and safe. We walked almost everywhere, even to the wedding and reception on a nearby street. Short drive to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This place was equipped with everything. but we could have used some more paper goods and dish soap. The bed was comfortable and the location was great, easy access to everything we needed and close to beaches.

We were completely comfortable staying at this cute condo. It was perfect for the two of us! We were glad we decided to rent a car because walking everywhere may have been too much. Brian responded to our questions before the trip and we had no issues during our stay. I would love to go back to Dana Point!
