I discovered this condo early in my search to find the perfect location for my family to enjoy our California vacation. I searched long and hard but kept coming back to this listing and sure am glad I did. The owner is first class and will take care of all of your vacation needs. You really need to bring nothing but a suitcase full of clothes because everything else is provided. Towels, linens, beach toys, cooking supplies (even spices), firewood and so many other amenities. Everything is close to this condo from the SNA airport, Disneyland, restaurants, grocery, ocean institute, Capistrano Mission, lots of beaches etc.... It is an easy drive or bus ride to anything you could possibly need or would want to visit. My 5 year old spent almost everyday at the kid friendly pool which is located just outside the front door of this unit. The neighborhood is very quiet and very upscale with multi-million dollar homes surrounding the property. It is an extremely safe area to visit. There is so much to see and do within 5 to 10 miles of this unit that I could not think of a better spot to vacation. Highly recommended and I hope to return soon.

This was our first all family Trip to California. While we were in California 10 days we only got to spend 4 days in Dana Point. We all hated to leave Villa Tortuga! The condo was absolutely beautiful and it was in the perfect location. We couldn't believe all of the ammenities- top notch, and Gus has thought of everything! (I really mean EVERYTHING! I expected things like beach towels and some equipment; but first aid kit, binoculars, pantry items? WOW!) We had breakfast on the airy deck and dinner in the spacious dining area. WiFi worked well and there were plenty of DVDs as well as books and magazines. Gus has all the information you need printed up and well organized. The beach is wonderful and just a short walk (or taxi ride) to the Ritz Carlton, where we attended a wedding. The location is also very close to the harbor and the Ocean Institute. We got to see some of the tall ships while we attended a reception there. Maybe I shouldn't say so many good things about this condo-- it might not be available next time we want to stay in Dana Point. Exceptional place, Gus. You really have a winner in Villa Tortuga.

This was our first time using vrbo and we were so happy with the result. You can trust this listing - all is as described and pictured. The condo is so well decorated and Dana Point is a lovely, peaceful area. We easily went sightseeing in San Diego, Laguna, Disney/Anaheim, LA and Santa Monica from this location and it was wonderful at the end of the day to return to what felt like "home" at Villa Tortuga. It is so comfortable and has everything you need. The beach here is beautiful and feels like a private beach because it is not crowded at all. Gus was very helpful and provided all the information we needed. We (husband, two teenage boys and I) loved our stay! Thanks, Gus!

Gus has done an amazing job rennovating this space with the majority stemming in the master bedroom, kitchen and living areas. Each room of the house was tastefully done, modernized with all the comforts of home. We made the mistake of over packing kitchen items, because Gus had spared no expense at ensuring all condiments and other paper items were fully stocked. We took full advantage of the close proximity to the beach, and learned that there was another route besides the steps. We travelled with 3 small children and the seperate room in addition to the bunk beds worked out fantastically. We were all very comfortable and felt great about the use of space. The luxury of having the full kitchen allowed us to cook breakfasts and lunches in the condo and explored the surrounding areas and did dinners out. The towels, beach toys, umbrellas and other conveniences were all included and thought of by Gus. This was a great stay and would recommend this property to anyone looking to get away and have the luxury of California beach living.
