Top Nature Interpretive Center Hotel Reviews

Blue Lantern Inn, A Four Sisters Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This property test on a bluff overlooking the ocean and the Dana point Harbor. The best views are from floors 2&3. Our stay on floor one had a very nice patio and was adjacent to the breakfast and happy hour venue. Very convenient for that early morning coffee. The location is very close to many restaurants. The free parking was refreshing since so many hotels in the area charge as much as $70 per night. The staff members were extremely hospitable and accommodating. We would definitely stay at this small, quaint hotel again."

Dana Dream Coastal Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I needed to find a place to stay that was close to home because we were having issues with our house in the area. We found this duplex, and at first we were concerned about the location because it is close to a busy intersection, but the location turned out to not be a problem. The home was newly remodeled, clean, and very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies, and the linens were plentiful and clean. The backyard was charming and we spent as much time out there as we could. There was only one parking space and we found that to be a minor inconvenience. Overall we were very happy with our staycation!"

Dana Point Spanish Revival STR14-0220

10/10 Excellent

"This property is an absolute gem! It is as if you stepped back in time but in a renovated and convenient manner. Every detail and decoration in the house matches the 1923 age of the home and it is just magical! The bed is comfortable and the balconies are just perfect for relaxing. Walkable to everything! The only small issue I had was finding the property initially because the house numbers don’t go in order so it would have been great to have that noted in the check-in instructions. But when I called the host, he was very responsive and helped me find the property."
