Relaxing & Comfortable

We made this lovely 2 bedroom condo our home base for our getaway to Point Loma and Laguna Beach outings. It’s nicely decorated and well-stocked with everything we needed. Nancy, the owner, made it very easy with directions and instructions for entrance and check out. Great location. We would definitely like to return in the future.

Wonderful Place!

This is a great place to stay. The host, Nancy, is fantastic to work with and communicates very well. She is so nice, gracious and easy to work with. The home has everything you need. Very well stocked. It’s close to the heart of Dana Point and a great central location for everything around there. We stayed here with a family of four in early August 2023. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this home.

Relaxing stay

We had the nicest relaxing stay at Nancy's property. She had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. They provided all the little extras like saran wrap and foil, laundry detergent, ziplocs, papertowels, etc that we appreciated and many other retnals don't provide and you have to purchase. The kitchen well stocked and the deck and bedding super nice. Communication was seamless. Thanks so much!

Clean, comfortable and well maintained home in Dana Point.

Nancy went above and beyond to make sure I was able to rent the home on short notice. She stayed in touch and was a pleasure to work with. The home is clean, recently remodeled and looks just as it does the pictures. It is walking distance to the downtown area and is in a pleasant neighborhood. Beautiful beaches all around, so it made an excellent home base for a morning walk on the beach before heading to meetings in Irvine. 5 stars!

comfortable condo

The condo was very comfortable - had all the amenities we could want - beautiful deck, air conditioning which we used - lots of towels for bathrooms, comfortable beds, two lazy boy chairs for relaxing and fans in bedrooms. Nancy is very easy to work with just a phone call away for any questions. You really can't walk to the harbor but the condo is close to stores and restaurants and centrally located in Dana Point. It's as good as the pictures show.

Cozy home in Dana Point

This home was in a safe neighborhood and within walking distance to several restaurants and the harbor area. Place was clean and equipped well. Home was quiet and bathrooms and kitchen were updated and nice. Only drawback is the street parking. Not used to this but in CA it’s a regular thing. Place has a garage and parking outside of garage spot so it wasn’t a huge deal. Just had to be careful when backing to get out. Overall, great place we would recommend. Owner is great and responds right away!

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Warner

Host profile image
This property is a family-owned property, purchased by my husband, Dan, and me and our daughter, Kelli. My daughter and her husband have enjoyed living there, but are now moving to a larger home to start their family. We all knew when we purchased this property, that it was a great property in a great location. Our family will continue to enjoy this property and its accessibility to all the wonderful things in Orange County and San Diego County as well.

My husband is now retired from the medical field and I am still active in real estate sales and rental management. However, we love to stay in our Dana Point condo as much as possible as our condo is so close to the beaches, hiking trails, restaurants, shopping, and coastal cities such as San Clemente, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Encinitas, Del Mar, La Jolla, and Carlsbad.

Born and raised in South Dakota, I truly appreciate the coastal towns!!





We also have another vacation rental at the beach in Carlsbad for those vacationers wanting to experience San Diego County.

Why they chose this property

We initially purchased this property as a first-time home for our daughter. We knew the location would be great for her and would also be a great investment.

What makes this property unique

This home is on a quiet residential street and yet it is so close to everything. It is also one of the few vacation rentals that is on all one level. And, unlike most vacation rentals, our home has new central air conditioning. We also have an extremely large private deck that is great for entertaining and just relaxing in the loungers. We love
to BBQ on the deck and enjoy the view of the hills as well as views of the ocean. At night, we enjoy the warmth of our fire pit.

We immediately fell in love with this property the first time we saw it. We were excited about being able to walk to the beaches, the store, restaurants, and parks. And, we were thrilled to be buying a home on one of the nicest streets in The Lantern a District.
