Just okay

We’ve stayed in the same condo complex many times over the past few years. Total of five different units. This unit was okay, but not up to the standards of the other places. I’ve grown to expect a higher quality for the price per night. That all being said it was clean and equipped with all the basics and the complex is lovely. No cable tv but had a streaming box that allowed us to stream content. Bed had a topper that provided for a comfortable sleep.

Condo in very nice area.

The condo was very nice and clean. The area was very upscale. We started to walk to the beach, but Siri told us walk would be 45 minutes instead of 15, so we went back and drove to beach. The beach was a beautiful public beach with plenty of parking and it was not very crowded. We really enjoyed our stay at this VRBO.

Perfect Location!

The location can't be beat - within walking distance to the beach! Condo is as described - very comfortable and cozy and has everything you'd need for a mini-vacation. Full size laundry is a plus! There is one assigned covered parking spot, gated complex - I felt safe staying there alone. The complex itself is very quite - I didn't see any neighbors nor did I hear them during my stay. Pool was quiet both days I was there so I had the whole place to myself. I will be coming back to this unit the next time I am in town! Owner was a pleasure to work with!

excellent value, very nice property

My wife and I and our son and his girlfriend were in the L A area to visit my brother and his family for three days. We were very lucky to find such a quality property at a reasonable price. The unit was actually nicer than we thought it would be and the gated property was clean,safe, and quiet. Because the unit was near the pool and spa we could time our visits based on the amount of people using them. We have traveled all over the world and I would very highly recommend this property and the helpfulness of the owner. I am grateful that I was able to find such a relaxing place in the L A area.

Needs major TLC

Run down, old dirty appliances and couches, tattered towels. Pictured like a first floor condo but 5 steps up to unit. Neighbor in next unit has dog she can't control and gets into screaming matches with family members. Property Manager inappropriate with responses. Great location and friendly owners. See comments left by Lois in August and believe them.

Extremely Disappointed

Condo was shabby, dark and buggy. We stayed 3 out of the 4 weeks and left. Conversations with Michael indicate he is fixing issues starting this winter, however, the rest of us who rented do not get the advantage of that. Not in the habit of giving bad reviews, generally will not say anything, however, I felt this was necessary. Michael seems like a nice guy but apparently didn't pay attention to the condition of the unit.

Dana point condo review

My husband needed a place to stay for a couple weeks while our home was being maintained. We had a lovely stay. The location and condo was nice and safe overall. The furnishing and kitchen supplies were not fancy but very adequate. The managers were very responsive and addressed minor requests right away. I would recommend this condo if you are looking for a place to stay near Dana Point. Katherine

Why they chose this property
