The property upon arrival was very clean, had everything we could ever need, and the host had left us some tasty treats! We were impressed the moment we walked in. The view, ocean breezes and proximity to the ocean were added highlights for us. We enjoyed our time immensely and have never had a more responsive, and kind host. Our host was wonderful. We hope to enjoy many more vacations here.

We have stayed at VRBO properties all over the US and Vida’s property is by far the best we have ever stayed at. The property is better than what was advertised. The location is perfect right across from the park with panoramic ocean views and is within easy walking distance to all of our favorite restaurants in the Lantern District in Dana Point. The property is immaculate and has everything that you need. The kitchen is completely equipped, there are great linens on the beds and plenty of quality towels and beach towels. There are beach chairs, beach umbrellas and beach toys for enjoying the beach that is only a few minute walk away. The community is quiet and well maintained and there is plenty of convenient off street parking. Vida is a great host and has thought of everything to make a stay at the beach comfortable and relaxing. I would highly recommend this property and we will definitely return for another stay!

My wife and I really enjoyed our time in Dana Point. Not only was Vida incredibly nice and hospitable, but the apartment was a delightful and centrally located place to spend time in SoCal. Steps from the beach and walking distance to great restaurants the apartment allowed us to easily spend time in LA, SD and many great locations in SoCal. We can’t wait to visit again.

Nice house, great location
Nice house, great location
We had a great time staying at the house as a family. Vida was very responsive and nice. The house came fully stocked with many plates and bowls as well as a blender and other appliances. The host generously shared beach toys, towels, and even boogie boards to use. The highlights were the sunset view and short walk to the beach. Thanks, Vida!
