Top Thousand Steps Beach Hotel Reviews

Laguna Cove Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and right next to the beach"

Montage Laguna Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel and friendly staff. We will be back soon!"

Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved our stay at the Waldorf. Rooms are so spacious, modern, clean, and lux. Obsessed with the hotel grounds too and access to private beach club, lovely pool with a view. There were a few inconveniences but we loved our stay and the property/hotel staff. A couple issues came up: the valet lost our keys for an hour which freaked us out and the restaurant service was slow and they accidentally left some allergens in dishes that had to be sent back to get fixed. Also had fire alarms go off endlessly at 4 am but other than that we loved it."

• Beach Close 1BR Retreat • Sleeps 4 • Fireplace - Beach Trail Bungalow

10/10 Excellent

"In the past, we have stayed at other rental condos but Beach Trail Bunglow was far and away the best. Very clean, well stocked, and great location. No issues and very relaxing. We would highly recommend it."

Oasis of calm, charm, and comfort in great location near the ocean, resorts

10/10 Excellent

"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!"

Ocean view retreat w/bedroom AC steps to the beach

8/10 Good

"Good location and the parking was very good."

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."
