My sister and I enjoyed staying here while competing at the US Masters Swimming Nationals in Mission Viejo. Good restaurants nearby and in Dana Point and nearby grocery shopping. Salt Creek Beach was fun. The place had chairs and umbrella were there for us to use! The pool and hot tubs were relaxing and not crowded!
This condo was perfect for us. We enjoyed walking the beautifully maintained grounds. The pool area was lovely and quiet. It was about a 15 minute walk to the beach. The walk was very relaxing and peaceful. The condo itself was well stocked and comfortable. Would recommend a stay here!
We stayed the last week of September/first week of October. The check-in process has been perfected. Directions provided were spot-on. The unit is bright, comfortable, open and airy, and has enough space that you can get away and spend time inside or outside reading or just chilling. We found that the kitchen had all of the pots/pans/utensils we needed to make several meals and we appreciated the full size dining room table. The beach items (chairs, blankets, towels, umbrella) were fantastic and we used many of them several times. Location is convenient to groceries (Ralph’s, Trader Joe’s, Gelson’s) and restaurants (Salt Creek Grille and RJ’s were favorites). The walking trail to the beach puts you about 15 minutes away and the views are stunning (go counter clockwise when you get to the resort, the beach opens up in front of you - amazing!) There is nothing we did not like about this place and we hope to return some day.
This was my family's first Vrbo experience and it was one to remember! The property is beautifully decorated, extremely clean, and in a nice safe and quiet area. It's close to many great destinations like Dana Point Harbor. The hosts accommodated an allergy with non-feather pillows. They were sometimes a bit slow to respond, but it never caused any issues. All the necessary information was either already provided or in their handy booklet onsite! We would definitely stay again!
Our stay was great! We thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing and well-furnished condominium. It was quiet in the evenings and the balcony was a fantastic retreat. We would gladly stay at this property again in the future.
Very accommodating condo. Nicely appointed, very comfortable and convenient location. Love the Dana Pointe area and enjoyed the walk on the path down to Salt Creek beach.
Absolutely amazing 5 stars resort private golf course private beach classy guard gated place very spacious place upscale upgraded Kichen washer dryer . Bed was very confortable very quiet place very nice balcony !
Cathie was amazing reply to me anytime I had questions .
Loved out stay at this wonderfully decorated condo in Dana Point, Ritz Point. The beds were comfy, the layout well suited for easy living and all the amenities you could want or need. The property manager was extremely responsive and the neighbors couldn't have been nicer. Would DEFINITELY rent this unit again!

nice place
Misinformation was given to me about the check-in process, so at first I was very nervous about not being able to get in. Fortunately the property manager received my text and replied fairly quickly. The controller for the fireplace was nowhere to be found.
Ann Marie was quick to respond with check in process and was quick to remedy an issue at initial check in. The sand and sea is a beautiful , very clean and incredibly decorated condo with great patio space in a quiet division. Great location close to many great beaches. It came complete with anything you would need to enjoy your vacation including anything you would need for the beach like blanket, towels, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, child life jacket, sand toys, and football to toss around. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and location is close to really good grocery stores/markets. It was perfect for our family. We look forward to staying there again.
Beautifully designed and appointed condo, higher end furnishings and all Amenities all contributed to a very enjoyable stay. Problem with TV working properly but mgr had man come over and he got it working. Beds very comfortable, would be great if there was a TV in bedroom. Super stocked with beach stuff, that was terrific.
We’ll be back next time and stay longer!!
Beautiful condo, lots of natural light, spotless clean. Very comfortable home. Great patio and screen doors were nice in evenings when cooler outside. Plenty of towels. Comfortable beds. Washer and dryer very handy. Thanks so much for the laundry pods. Super cute beach themed decor. All supplies for upgraded kitchen and grilling made cooking in super easy. Very quiet gated neighborhood and super close to grocery store. We walked to the beach every day. It’s about 1.5 miles one way. We felt extremely safe and the walk takes you through a beautiful neighborhood and Monarch Beach Resort’s Golf course. Would definitely stay here again. The owners were responsive and helpful in answering our questions prior to visit. We literally had zero issues our entire stay!!
We really enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean and well kept. It was close to a lot of things, in the beach. The property managers were very easy to deal with and helped tremendously with explaining everything ahead of time. When we come back to CA, we will definitely stay again.
This place is pristine and decorated so beautifully. It was so comfortable for the family with two king beds. The kitchen is easy to navigate and ideal for a family getaway. We loved it. Thank you VRBO.
We found this property a great place to stay and will return some time in the future. Couldn't have a much better location for the beach and area restaurants.
Our stay was wonderful. Owners were outstanding, communicative, and the place is immaculate. Could not believe how clean it was. The location was close to the beech but found that a daily car rental was needed to haul all the gear there. A bike or walk would have been a chore for sure. The owners provided so much wonderful beech stuff, there is too much to mention. Nothing was needed to buy. Even kids beech toys were supplied. Not a complaint, just a note...the owner was a bit short on toilet tissue, and garbage bags but that was easily cured at Ralph's nearby. The location as I mentioned was close to the beech but balcony view is only of the building next door so that was kind of a bummer but considering the price, all was well. The complex has an awesome location with a hot-tub and ocean view just a short walk away which we used a lot. Oh, the gated community is easy to navigate but frequently run by an old guy that clearly hates his job and the furthest thing from a warm reception, so just show your credentials and move on and enjoy your vacation. Thanks for everything, we loved our stay and highly recommend to others. Cheers.
We just got back from our stay at your home. From the moment we walked in we fell in love. The home is spotless. The 2 twin beds are very comfortable. The decoration of the home is just beautiful! All the amenities you need are there from beach towels, pots, pans, dishes, to hangers for your clothes. Everything was provided.. The bathrooms are beautiful and so clean. Will definitely come back again.
My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Sand & Sea. Your home was clean and spacious and had all the amenities needed. It truly felt homey.

Left early due to sewage smell
Unit was nice but location was not walking distance to beach, no information on checking until I sent a message to one of the owners the afternoon on day of arrival about how to check in, dining tv did not work and the master bath had a horrible sewage smell that made entire place smell causing me and my family to leave 3 days early due to sickness from the smell.

Gosh, we are so sorry you had this experience. We weren't even aware you had left early. Had you contacted us we could have rectified the situation. We have had no complaints about smell before and do not smell anything now. The walking distance to beach is 15-20 minutes as advertised. We have been in this business 12 years and are always available to our guests. It's too bad you didn't call us if there was a problem so you could have fully enjoyed your vacation.

Great condo with scenic walk to beach
My husband and I were visiting from Dallas, Texas and stayed two weeks. This condo was very clean, quiet, comfortable, and pretty. All the comforts of home, free parking, and a nice scenic walk to the beach.
