Great location. So close to ocean that waves were at deck base in high tide! Hot tub was great way to start and end the day. Layout of house a little awkward as had to either go through other bedrooms or go outside to get to living and kitchen areas from 2 of the 3 bedrooms, but not a big deal. Some paint peeling down onto patios so some maintenance needed, but the rest of the facility is in very nice shape. Mike was very responsive to questions. Access through security at beginning of Beach Road sounded complicated, but after day one it was a breeze. We would stay here again.

To be honest, this lovely little house could use some sprucing up, but if you’re looking for a good old fashioned, nostalgic beach house, this is the place! The kitchen was well appointed and the living room cozy, but the highlight was the outside deck and location. The beach was private and right at your doorstep. Hot tub was clean and relaxing, and bbq right there. Bedrooms a little quirky as far as privacy, but not really a problem. Dana Point is beautiful and welcoming, a perfect taste of CA beach living, a wonderful change of pace for us desert rats. We hope to go back and will make sure to bring board games, the only thing missing.

On the Sand Get Away

Booked a few nights to celebrate my birthday with family. Talk about a great location. Can’t beat being right on the water. Everything was very relaxing and enjoyable. Would definitely come back.

Liked the location/vibe of neighborhood, gated community. Beach private, quiet. Did not like having layout of the bedroom location for privacy of bathroom location. No nice updated description of home amendments/locations of things (like the laundry room), local attractions. One of our guests wants to rent this place for her family stay!

Oct stay

Overall the stay was great! The only struggle was the issue dealing with William at the front gate. Even when individuals were on the approved guest list, he would not let them through. The house and property management were awesome.

Beachfront Getaway

The private property is right on Capo Beach. The jacuzzi on the deck is feet from ocean waves. It's an older property but is perfectly suited for close family or friends with lots of space to entertain and soak up the sun. Michael's Team (property managers) were outstanding communicators and easy to get a hold of. Wish they ran all the VRBO's.

Best family vacation

Perfect beach front property. Had the best family time and visits from friends. Didn’t feel the need to venture out because playing on the sand was enough. Would definitely visit again and recommend it. Think I would have gotten a better price had I reserved earlier. Only minor issues, no screens on some of the windows, sliding screen door hard to open. Low water pressure in the kitchen.

Place is old and tired

There were a lot of issues with the place. It’s just old and tired. Had an electrical issue that damaged several of the appliances and washer Property mgrs were a pain, argumentative and tried to say they were new issues when the hot tub person told us he heads the same issues from tenants all of the time.

Hi Deb. We appreciate all feedback. We reached out to you the morning of the electrical short from the electrical company and had them come out same day to repair. We also had our electrician out at the same time and we received no response from our text messages, emails and messaging through VRBO. You then reached out the day prior to your checkout telling us of outlet issues after the electrical short, we rushed out our electrician and again nobody answered the door/VRBO messages or our text messages. We care about our clients but can’t help them if we are not communicated to.

Beautiful location but no real access to the beach from the house.

The beach has been wearing away on Beach Rd. and sadly what used to be just a step over the wall is now an 8 foot drop. There weren’t any stairs to go down so we attempted to use the neighbors but were quickly told that it’s private property. Other than that the house was pretty great but could use some updates to cabinets and appliances. We have stayed in this same house a few years ago and do enjoy it but wish we would have known about the lack of ease to get down to the beach.

Beautiful Location Poor Accommodations

We stayed at this beach house during Christmas week, and while the location and views were absolutely stunning—definitely deserving of a 5-star rating—the accommodations left much to be desired.To start, the positives: the location is breathtaking, with easy access to the beach and incredible ocean views. It truly is a picturesque setting for a holiday getaway.However, the living space itself felt more like a motel than a premium rental, which was disappointing given the nearly 2,000 per night price tag. Here are a few issues we encountered:Bedding and Towels: We were provided with only one washcloth and one towel per person, which felt insufficient for our length of stay. Additionally, there were no extra blankets available, leaving us to sleep in our warm clothes due to the chilly bedrooms.Bathroom Conditions: The bathrooms and showers had mold, which was quite off-putting. We expected a higher standard of cleanliness for the price we paid.Layout: The layout was inconvenient, requiring us to walk through each bedroom to access the main living space. This lack of privacy was a bit awkward, especially with a larger group.Temperature Control: The primary bedroom had venting issues and was consistently freezing. Hot Water: We found that we had to run the hot water for a long time before it actually got hot, which was quite frustrating. If you decide to rent here, be sure to bring extra towels, washcloths, laundry detergent (only 5 pods were provided), and blankets.

Hi Vivian. Thank you for the comments, we have addressed each mentioned issue. I wish you would have told us about the heating, we would have promptly delivered additional blankets for you. Our standard is towels for maximum occupancy we would have been happy to drop off more:).

Wonderful

It was wonderful to hear the ocean and it was clean and had a very large gathering room with the kitchen, dining table, and living room all together. Only had a few issues problem. One was that the beach was covered in rocks. Unsure if it was caused by the recent storm or are always there. Two, the ocean is not safe to swim in there with kids due to high waves. But there was a good beach called baby beach that is perfect for kids close by. Three, the layout is very weird and you do have to walk through each other’s rooms, but we didn’t mind. Overall amazing! Loved hearing the waves at night!

Spacious Beach House

The family room/kitchen area was bigger than expected. That was nice for family dinners and board games. The ocean was giving us lots of entertainment with big waves and lots of excitement. The manager was very quick to respond to our questions and respectful of our family time. We had a great experience despite the heatwave. The beds are comfortable and they supplied plenty of fans to keep us cool at night. Great location!! We got lucky with very sandy beaches this time! I hope we can come again.
