About this apartment rental
This luxury condo is in the only complex that is legally allowed to do weekly rentals in Dana Point. "Casa de Awesome" is a gorgeous, newly renovated condo in Ritz Pointe, a 5- star location near the world famous Ritz Carlton Resort! The prestigious, gated community has a resort-style feel with a swimming pool and 3 spas. It is located adjacent to the beautiful Monarch Hills resort and Golf Course. Our guests have access to an exclusive scenic trail through the golf course to Salt Creek Beach where the Ritz Carlton is located. You can access the Ritz from the beach, by walking up the stairs to their patio for a drink or casual dining and take in the sweeping view of the ocean and beach. Salt Creek Beach is one of the most beautiful white sandy beaches in Southern California and is a premier surfing, body surfing, surf fishing, and diving beach. We provide beach towels, beach blankets, beach chairs, a beach cart and beach umbrella to make your experience extraordinary. It is also family oriented with a large grassy park for playing games, barbequing, picnicing, and whale watching too!
This condo is located just a mile from the city of the world famous Laguna Beach. During the summer months a free open-air trolley runs up and down the Pacific Coast Highway to and from Dana Point and Laguna Beach. You can pick it up at the St. Regis or the Ritz Carlton and get on or off at your choice of many stops. This allows you to explore the many wonderful restaurants, boutiques, and art galleries in a fun and relaxing way. Laguna also hosts the annual Festival of the Arts and Pageant of the Masters every summer. Dana Point Harbor and Marina, adjacent to Doheny Beach State Park, houses deep sea fishing charters and whale watching cruises. Surfboards, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, jet skis and bicycles are available to rent from multiple vendors.
Upon arrival you will be greeted at the gate by the friendly gatekeepers who will give you a pass for your stay . Covered parking is assigned with plenty of guest parking available. With only two steps up from the curb this one level condo is easily accessible. The beach décor and furnishings are designer quality with a resort feel. Your guest information packet includes the condo particulars and community amenities. You are just steps away from the swimming pool/hot tub and exercise room. Around the corner you will have access to one of two other hot tub areas with a sweeping view of the ocean and sunsets. There are beach chairs, towels and a cart for your convenience.
"Casa de Awesome", an inviting, spacious 1200 sf. condo has been completely remodeled and upgraded. There are vaulted ceilings throughout and no one above you. The floors are covered with a plush carpet and slate-look tile. The master bathroom has a walk-in newly tiled shower, and the second bathroom has a newly tiled shower and bathtub. The kitchen features new quartz counter tops, all new stainless steel appliances, with new dinner and flatware. Both the master and second bedroom are spacious, with large walk-in closets and feature designer bedding and décor. You will sleep like a baby on the new Simmons Sleep Comfort king-size mattresses and the 500 thread count Egyptian cotton bedding. You will enjoy the unique reclaimed headboards which are actual gates from old homes in Laguna. The living room has a large flat screen TV with HD cable above the gas fireplace. WiFi high speed internet is easily accessible throughout the condo.
All new windows and vaulted ceilings create a light, bright setting and the lovely wrap-around deck has an inviting outdoor seating area and gas BBQ. The private view is overlooking the green hills and the beautiful homes of Dana Point.
We are centrally located between Los Angeles and San Diego by the coast. Southern California's major attractions like Disneyland , San Diego Zoo, Lego Land, Sea World, Universal Studios, and the Outlet Malls are less than an hour's drive. There are many wonderful sites to experience here, and when your day is finished from the shopping or beach day, you can relax in your heavenly piece of paradise at Casa de Awesome!

This place was perfect for my husband’s conference at the Ritz Carlton. Although it was a steep long walk it was a pretty one. The condo had everything we needed for the week. It had all the beach items which was so helpful! The area is very beautiful. Very upscale for sure. It was our first time to that area of California. And we were not disappointed.

We found this condo to be comfortable, clean, and quiet. It provided us with everything we needed to enjoy a very relaxing stay. No lack of good restaurants close by, including 3 within walking distance. For great pizza try Truly Pizza, located on the north side of Dana Point, reservations recommended. We found great hiking trails in and around Dana Point. Maps found in condo were helpful. We also enjoyed the walking path to the beach from the condo, quite pretty especially in the evening.
Would stay again and recommend to others.

Casa de Awesome actually was awesome! We loved everything about it and will stay again when we visit my family. The master bedroom closet was so big (and had a skylight!) that my toddlers made a fort in it and slept there for the week :)
The only thing I will mention, which didn't matter to us, but was a bit of a shock - the 'walk' to the beach is 1.25 miles and LOTS of hills. It would be fine for a couple, but not for dragging along 2 little kids and all their stuff. We walked half way and then realized that the kids were already done, and even if we had a blast at the beach, they'd never make the walk back. If you rented electric bikes, you'd be set though!

Such a great location to everything you’d want to do! The place was a great size for a family of 5. The beds were SO comfy we slept amazingly each night! We would totally stay here again & hope to within a year. Having access to hot tubs & a pool was another plus for us. Just a great place!!

We stayed at this property for a week and it exceeded our expectations. It was “as listed” with plenty of amenities and clean. The only downside for us was it’s proximity to the beach, we opted to drive vs attempting the walk.

We loved our stay here! The apartment was well furnished with everything you might need for a short or long stay. We loved walking to Salt Creek every day (thanks for the wagon!). The owners take great care of the property and everything was in working order. Thanks for the perfect vacation!

We had a wonderful relaxing stay. The place was clean and completely furnished with everything we needed. We have stayed in this location before, but this particular rental property was really great!

Which we really appreciated.
Thank you!!

Property and neighborhood was very nice. Amenities were accurate as posted online. Host was responsive when we had questions/concerns and were quickly resolved. The only negative was the inoperable gas fireplace, which we were told had a bad remote. Other than that everything else was great and in a great location to visit with other family members living in the area. Thanks

Kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed breakfasts outside on the deck. How can you beat 60-70 degree weather in the Winter! The condo was very clean and in good condition.
The nature walk down to the beach (1.25 miles) was very pretty, and had the variety of a high-end subdivision and a beautiful walk through the golf course. You then could explore Salt Beach and the Dana Strand Beach, two wonderful beaches with various shore birds. It was 290 feet down, and of course, 290 feet elevation back up.

Comfortable condo close to the coast!
We had a great stay at this condo and thanks so much to Cynthia for being so easily accessible when any questions did arise. That means so much to vacation or business travelers.
There are two ways to access the Salt Creek trail down to the coast and it is such an relaxing scenic walk or run down to see the surfers and beach. Directions to the shortest route are in a book in the condo.

We loved it!
They had a closet full of fun beach stuff such as sand toys, body boards, frisbees, and a beach wagon. The kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of counter space for meal prep. There were plenty of the things that you don't want to have to think about like extra TP and garbage bags. There was an inflatable mattress in the closet, play and pack crib and closet full of extra towels. We had a really fun and memorable week. The location was perfect and the kids loved the pool. Thank you! We would absolutely come again.

Wonderful base to explore the area
Casa de Awesome is a beautiful apartment with everything you need for a long or short term stay. The highlight for us is the fact you can walk down to the beach on a lovely footpath in about 20 mins, and also use the same path to walk to the local supermarket. And the rental included all the beach essentials- umbrella, wagon, chairs, boogie boards, beach towels, beach rugs, beach toys etc. The heated salt water pool and fitness centre were also a big bonus. While the flat doesn't have its own parking spot, it was never an issue to find empty guest spots and the guards at the gates were helpful and friendly. We stayed here with our 4 month old son, but I would be cautious of having toddlers or young children as there are a lot of lovely decorations in the apartment which would be very tempting for little hands (vases, glass jars etc).

Great stay
The condo was as pictured and spacious. The kitchen was stocked well if you wanted to cook. We had plenty of towels. And loved having the beach equipment. We loved the Dana Point/Leguma Beach area. We would definitely return to this area and the condo.

Amazing Location!!!
We have stayed at the Ritz Point condos at least five times. It is our favorite spot along the southern California coast. We love that it doesn't feel crowded like a resort. Most of the residents are owners so we have found that the pool and hot tubs are less crowded. And the walk to the beach is absolutely amazing along the golf course. Literally a little piece of heaven! The owner was so kind and easy to work with! The place is decorated so cute and nice and clean. Beds are comfy. I can't reccommend this place enough!

Awesome Vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit back to Dana Point, where we had lived for 15 years! Condo is in such a great location and decorated so cute and beachy. Pool and hot tubs were great as were the walking trails to the beach. Hope to be back again!
