"Perfect place for us to stay for a weekend wedding in the area. Host was very responsive. Place was clean and exactly as described. We would stay again. Thank you for your hospitality"

Le Petit Pali Laguna Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything! Property, Location, food, the staff. We will be back!"

BEAUTIFUL, LUXURY CONDO, GATED WITH WALKING TRAIL TO BEACH!

10/10 Excellent

"As desert dwellers, we were looking for a fairly local place to get a break from the August heat. This condo fit us perfectly. The location to the beach and free summer trolley stop was perfect. We tracked a lot of miles with our daily walks down to Monarch Golf Course, the beach and around the harbor. As daily swimmers, the pool and hot tub were in great shape and so close to the condo. The interior of the home was decorated in a cute beachy fashion. The two king sized beds were comfortable. The large,well-stocked kitchen was great - for what little cooking we actually did. Dana Point experienced a hot/humid weather pattern during our stay and having air conditioning, made life comfortable. Otherwise, if the weather had been cooler, opening the doors allowed for a great cross breeze. Access to a washer and dryer right at the condo was great. We have already been talking about a possible return in the next year."

Walk to, Ritz Carlton, Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach and Salt Creek Beach.

10/10 Excellent

"We’ve been spending part of the summer in the Dana Point area for about eight years, and rented this condo three times. It is, by far, the best property we’ve stayed in. Great location, comfortable furniture and the owner couldn’t be more responsive to our questions. Highly recommended."

UNOBSTRUCTED OCEAN-GOLF Views, step in shower, KING bed, garage, Gym STR14-0115

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful condo. The view was absolutely stunning. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need. The upgrades in the condo were so very nice. Very comfortable condo."
