About this cottage rental
Charming cottage inspected and licensed by the city of Dana Point. Not a condo/apartment but a house. No adjacent walls. Walking distance to the Harbor/Marina with a great variety of recreational activities, shopping and restaurants. Very comfortable 2 bedrooms/1 bath cottage radiates good energy as described by some guests. Parking in the long driveway. Comfortable patio furniture in the backyard. A queen size bed in the Master Bedroom and trundle bed in the second guest room unfolds into 2 twin beds. There are two identical large dressers in both bedrooms. In addition, there are 2 folding couches (futons) in the living room. Close to shopping and services. The area is known for its perfect climate. It seldom gets real hot or real cold. We are constantly updating the property to make it better. Most sheets we provide have a high thread count. Pets will be considered on a case by case basis. The city of Dana Point is very strict about noise disturbances. Please be cognizant of Dana Point regulations concerning a noise disturbance. There has never been an issue with security. However to make our guests feel even safer in the new environment we have installed a camera on the outside ONLY!

Pros
Great location in Dana Point
Very clean and quiet
Room for one car in driveway, possibly 2 small cars.
Cons
Description says it will sleep 6, we booked for 5 and paid the extra charge. However there were only 4 bath towels and minimal bedding - luckily 3 of our party couldn’t make it - I don’t think it would have worked for 5. It was fine for two.
Very bare bones amenities in terms of toiletries and some of the nice touches of home, however the kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils
The outside areas could use some attention

Thanksgiving in Dana Point
We drove out to visit our son who is stationed at Camp Pendleton. The house was perfect for our Thanksgiving with my wife, our daughter, son, and the family dog.

Perfect location!
Enjoyed our stay for a family wedding! This cute cottage was close to the harbor, beaches and hotel resorts.

Our stay here was awful.I don’t suggest bringing a pet since the yard is not enclosed. This place is basically an old dumpy place but it was clean. There is no air conditioning so it was unbelievably hot. I would not recommend staying here.

Great location! Great house!
Alex was very easy to communicate with and a wonderful host. The house was very clean, it is in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to restaurants, coffee shops, the harbor and the beaches. San Juan Capistrano is so vibrant now with great downtown happenings and this house is so close. Thank you for a great stay!

The beach cottage was as advertised. Older property in a quiet neighborhood. Quite small, very clean. All that I require. Walking distance to the harbor. Met my family there for coffee in the mornings. Easy drive, easy walk.
Steps protrude into the driveway. One car fits easily, two if small.
Thank you for making this property available.

Clean and comfortable cottage
The cottage was very clean and comfortable In a very nice neighborhood right off of PCH. Convenient to stores and restaurants. A bit of a distance to the harbor but lovely views for most of the walk. I’m always grateful when owners are open to allowing dogs since they are furry family. I would definitely stay here again.

Dana Point Cottage
We really enjoyed this property. It was cute and comfortable and the perfect distance from so many things. The patio was awesome and a great way to unwind after the day. The only things we didn't have were wash clothes and dish towels. The only improvement I could suggest was maybe some weather stripping on the exterior doors - you could see light on all sides. Definitely would stay here again!

Beach House in Dana Point
Our VRBO stay in Dana Point was a wonderful vacation for our family. So close to the harbor and beach and an unexpected bonus that the Whale and Dolphin Festival fell exactly the time we were there. The beach house was very comfortable and clean. Everything we needed was there except a stool to reach the tall cupboards in the kitchen. A handicap for us short people. We casually looked for one but did not find it. Perhaps next time we will gift one to the house. Definitely will consider this property again.

A lovely little home base
This humble cottage is located on a quiet street and within walking distance to the Dana Point waterfront. I enjoyed watching 4th of July fireworks from the park overlooking the waterfront.
The home was stocked with many basic necessities and if I needed anything, I need only ask and was quickly accommodated.
For the heat intolerant, there is no AC. The breeze through the open windows were adequate enough due to the low humidity. We did have what I believe to be record temperatures on one day of my stay where my phone thermometer 🌡 registered 105. On that day, we hid in the shade of the small palm tree out back, with cold drinks and ice compresses. That was NOT typical weather for Dana Point. I only mention this at all for people with medical issues who may need to consider this.
If I could make a request for this VRBO, I would request steak knives for the kitchen and a small container kept in the garage that someone might use to soak their feet on a hot day.
Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity to sail. I’m hoping to return to this VRBO. It felt like Home.

Great Cottage in an excellent location!
We enjoyed our stay. The home is on a quiet street in an excellent location. Thanks for having us! The only item I’d correct is the Home needs a/c for hot afternoons.

Start to finish was one of our best experiences w/VRBO
From the beginning, I knew our California visit was going to be a good one. Alex responded to our request in under 15 minutes and our place was booked w/in 20. Our stay in Dana Point was a good one from the time we pulled up. The neighborhood felt very safe and the home was cozy for my family of six. Two kids shared a room and two kids had a futon of their own in the family room. The kitchen was more than adequate for our stay. Our beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. Everything was clean and was a nice respite from days at the beaches. There is a grocery store down the street and coffee houses easily within reach. Honestly, Alex's responsiveness and genuine interest in our overall enjoyment of his home were huge factors in why such a good review. We will happily seek out this home the next time we're looking in the Dana Point area.
