The condo was clean and sufficiently stocked. A bonus was a full sized washer and dryer. Lots of great places to walk. Being near Dana Point Harbor was a plus! We thoroughly enjoyed our six week stay.

Mike's place was great. It is spacious and very well located. The parking spot in front of the door was very convenient. The kitchen is well equipped. Mike gave us all the information we needed about the place, the pool area, beach access, and events happening during our stay. We stayed for 1 month and had a great time. Hope to be back next year. Thanks Mike!

A nice, quiet condo just minutes from Strands beach. Most amenities in the condo are fine (bedding, kitchen, tv), but owner should take an extra step up with cleanliness of kitchen cabinets, oven, carpet, and floors.

For the price, I don't think anything could be better! We loved our stay at Niguel Beach Terrace. Mike has thought of everything, and there were tons of extras we appreciated, like beach chairs, endless amount of beach towels, umbrella, toys for kids. Super helpful that there is in-unit laundry, key code door entry so we didn't need extra sets of keys, and we loved the patio for a quite afternoon reading in a secluded spot. The entire complex is very quiet, which we loved too. Only caveat (which really wasn't an issue for us), is that the age of the property shows. There are other listings in Niguel Beach Terrace that cost more and have been recently updated. So, choose what matters to you and get yourself down to Strands!
