About this house rental
Winter monthlies welcome! Contact me for longer stay discounts after Oct. 1.
My home is a beautiful mid-century modern bungalow (about 900 sq. ft) that has just been renovated with all new furniture, interior paint, etc., foam roof with great insulation, motorized awning, laminate wood floors throughout, quartz countertops, marble dining table, Elfa closets, and travertine bathroom. It is super clean and the third room looks out onto a lush garden. AC has just been added and may be used for a fee ($25/day), and dogs are welcome for a fee ($200/dog). The property is fronted with floor to ceiling windows, a wonderful balcony and a huge garage. Boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels, sand toys, a picnic basket and a wagon for transporting everything is available in the home.
The bungalow is located at the quiet residential end of La Cresta (near St. Edwards Church) in the rejuvenated Lantern Village - surrounded by single family homes rather than multifamily rental units. As such, in order to maintain the right to offer vacation rentals in Dana Point, it is vitally important that my guests respect the sleepy quiet nature of the neighborhood. Partying at this property will not be permitted. And NO SMOKING OF ANY SUBSTANCE is allowed on the premises.
Notes from guests:
"Everything was amazing. Thank you sooooo much! My family will definitely be staying here when they come visit again. The fireworks view from the deck was perfect."
"We love the house! The pictures on VRBO don't do it justice."
I only offer this home thru VRBO and AirBNB. No other site or person renting on my behalf is legitimate.

This is the perfect beach community home, located near everything and immaculately maintained with every amenity you need. Excellent home for a couple or small family getaway. The host is amazing and the neighborhood is quiet, just as it should be.

Our stay Deanna's home was wonderful! The location was close to town and the suggestions she gave for places to eat were very good. Her home was very comfortable and plenty of room for the 3 of us that stayed there. I would absolutely stay here again!

This is a nicely remodeled home that is close to everything in Dana Point. We had that unusual rain during my visit so we did some cooking and found the kitchen well equipped. Comfortable and quiet and we had a very nice stay

Great location in Dana Point and surrounding areas. As advertised and great owner. Comfortable beds and furniture. Well equipped kitchen and garage. Be prepared for only one bathroom but it is very spacious. Nice quiet neighborhood. A/C was nice to have as most home do not. We would return again.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is in a quiet residential neighborhood and is walkable to nearby restaurants. All three bedrooms are sizable with plenty of space for belongings. Beds are comfortable. And the house is filled with high-end, thoughtful touches, along with two nice outdoor sitting areas. The host is attentive and responsive and we had everything we needed for a very relaxing stay. Highly recommended!

Terrific location in Dana Point up the hill from Doheny State Beach. Very clean, well stocked with all the essentials and an excellent host. We enjoyed our stay and would rent here again.

I'm so glad we booked this property for our family beach vacation. This well appointed home has lots of extra touches to make visitors feel welcome and comfortable. The owner has put ton of effort in to maintaining this home. We especially enjoyed the comfortable beds and linens as we all needed to rest up from our busy lives. The quiet community ensured restful nights which we appreciated. While our cooking was simple, the kitchen is well appointed if you like to cook fancy. Lots of things to see and do in the area. On this visit we spent a midweek day at Crystal Cove State Park on an isolated stretch of beach and it was divine, and we checked out the cute shops in Laguna Beach. Lots of restaurants to meet every budget requirement. Supermarket and Costco are nearby.

We enjoyed our stay at Dana point, lantern village is a cute neighborhood, very quiet. We did not spend a lot of time at Dana point we went to nearby towns like San Clemente as the beaches and town were nicer.
House is very clean and had everything needed. Could do with fans in the bedrooms as it would get quite hot in the rooms due to low ceilings. But otherwise very clean and nice.

Deanna's home is super clean, cozy, and very comfortable. You get a great vibe as soon as you enter, with lots of light coming in through the windows and little artistic touches that shows how much she cares about the property. Deanna was very responsive to questions, and even suggested a new Mexican restaurant that was too new to be on her list of recommendations. My son and I tried it out, and it was fantastic. Best of all, it was within walking distance, as was the breakfast place (Stacks) we frequented. The walk back up to the house is up hill, but it helped burn off our meals! Plus, the walk up from the main road gives you a chance to admire all the nice homes along the route - such pretty scenery!
The beds were comfortable, the linens and towels were high quality, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The street is so quiet at night, it was like we were in a cabin in the woods - couldn't hear a sound! I also walked to the beach at sunrise, which was great. But if you plan to bring chairs or anything else, I'd take the car. There's a wagon in the garage if you'd like to walk anyway, but I knew we'd be heading out for something to eat directly from the beach. It's a very nice property, and well cared for. Thanks Deanna!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed Deanna's home in Dana Point. We were in town for our nephew's graduation and it was exactly what we were looking for. The location was great and the amenities spot on. We were within easy walking distance of both the town/seaside and our relatives that live right up the road. They too were very impressed with the property and will suggest this to others when they come to visit. Thank you!

First of all, I have to say that this home rental was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The cozy atmosphere of the house was warm and welcoming, and it had all the amenities we could possibly need during our stay.
The location of the home rental was perfect for our needs. Being so close to Disneyland (~30-40 mins) was fantastic, as it allowed us to easily visit the park multiple times during our stay. We also enjoyed the proximity to the many beaches, which were just a short drive away (Salt Creek was our favorite) . This made it easy for us to take advantage of the beautiful weather and spend some time relaxing on the sand. We also liked that you could walk to a some restaurants - we loved Carmelita's and aPizza Doho, both casual family friendly spots.
The home itself was spotless and well-maintained, with comfortable beds. It was a bit cozy for our family of five, but we liked that for a change.
The communication with the owner was excellent, and they were always available to answer any questions we had. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at this home rental and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, convenient, and comfortable place to stay near Disneyland and the beaches.

We enjoyed our stay in Deanna’s home so very much. The house was immaculate and decorated very nicely. Beds were very comfortable and the bathroom is spacious. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook and dine including double ovens and an amazing cook top.
The view from the living area is beautiful. The power awning is wonderful to shade the room during the day. We loved that the home was completely gated in, with a nice patio area in the back.
And last, but not least, the home is in a very walkable neighborhood, surrounded by beautiful homes and so close to the beach and restaurants, it makes for the perfect vacation!!

Wonderful Birthday getaway
Spent a week at Deanna’s cute little place with my family of 4. Check in/ out was easy. We enjoyed the nice ocean breeze and the adorable little front and back patio every afternoon/ evening. My only critique is that the outlets in the master bedroom do not accommodate the 3 prong plug, other than that it was perfect! Thank you Deanna for your adorable place. We hope to rent it again in the future!

Perfection!
This beautiful home has it all...comfort, convenience and it is super clean! The home is meticulously maintained and is light, bright and airy. My husband and I had an amazing time here and loved walking to the beach, harbor, parks, coffee in the morning and great restaurants at night. We were still discovering more places to visit the night before we left. We loved how convenient it was to visit Laguna Beach, Balboa Island, San Clemente and Carlsbad. Deanna was so easy and pleasant to communicate with.

worked well for us!
It was clean and good location to get to restaurants! We had an event inland but found it so nice to come back easily and stay close enough to the beach to get in the water readily. Easy access to surf rentals too.

A recently remodeled, beautiful property in a quiet residential location walking distance (uphill) from the harbor, coffee, restaurants, Doheny Beach and more. Timely and pleasant communication with the host. Beach chairs, umbrella and more provided for the beach. Lovely communication with the host. We completely enjoyed our stay and will return!

Beautiful and Great Location
We had the best stay at Deanna’s home! Every room is perfectly clean and well appointed and the whole house smells good! It was exactly as described. We have a 4 year old and a 4 month old. I put the 4 month old in the smallest room in a pack and play that we brought and it was perfect. My 4 year old mostly spent the week with his grandparents who live close by but I would say the home is easy to have children in. I did put vases and anything breakable up on the counter to be safe (you never know with kids!) I grew up in Dana Point so I can say with conviction that this home is in an excellent location. Walkable to restaurants, the harbor and beaches and a short drive into Laguna Beach. Thank you again for a great stay!

Home from home in Dana Point
Loved this house. We had been to Dana Point before and stayed in a hotel but having our own space this time was 100 times better. The main living area is a wonderful bright spacious room with a balcony opening off it that has sun all day, gorgeous for your morning coffee. Everything you needed for a stay was provided even down to beach towels and chairs!! I would go back in a heartbeat.

Wonderful Stay in Beautiful Dana Point
The home is charming and beautifully appointed. Spacious and comfortable. Photos are accurate if not a little understated. This is a really nice rental for vacation. The check in process was seamless, and the Owner is very attentive and responsive without being intrusive. Gourmet kitchen, extremely comfortable living spaces in which to unwind, with cool ocean cross-breezes throughout the house. The space was very pet friendly for our pooch (who I think was sad to leave). Dana Point is a very cool beach-residential community with good vibe. The home is walkable to Doheny beach but removed from tourist traffic. Highly recommend this vacation home rental- you'll feel like your part of a chill coastal neighborhood. We loved it and will be back!

Great location place
We had a great stay at Deanna's place. It was in a really great location for us with easy access to beaches and dining and not too far from I-5 access to head inland if desired. The house itself was immaculate and well laid out for a small property. Very easy check in and very responsive communication from the owner. We will be back!

Dana Point visit
The bungalow was very nice. Nicely decorated and appointed. The owner, Deanna, was very helpful and professional. Further away from the beach and shopping than we anticipated. Definitely not within walking distance (unless you want a pretty strenuous uphill hike back home).

Fantastic location in Dana Point
This was our second stay at this property. We love the proximity to the harbor and beach. It is a cute little house in the historic Lantern District. It is a lot of fun to just walk around and view some of the eclectic homes in the area.
The home comes well-equipped. It is dog-friendly with plenty of space to accommodate our two golden retrievers. There is AC in the house and a washer/dryer in the garage. Towels, beach chairs and other needed items are provided. It has all the amenities we could want.
We come to Dana Point a few times a year to surf at San Onofre, paddle board in Dana Point harbor, and walk around the marina district with our dogs. It is a very dog-friendly community and they are welcome at many of the restaurants.
If you are seeking a cute little place to stay right in the heart of Dana Point, this is a great place to choose.

Great home in Dana Point
Enjoyed our stay for a week with our pup in this quiet neighborhood very conveniently located close to downtown, Harbor, and Doheny beach where we surfed and paddled (keeping our boards in the garage was also very convenient) . The house is very nicely furnished and kitchen well stocked - easily one of the best equipped that we have stayed in over the years. Owner Deanna was very responsive and easy to deal with. Definitely would stay again.
