About this property

Renovated Mid-century - Walk to Harbor/Doheny!

Winter monthlies welcome! Contact me for longer stay discounts after Oct. 1.

My home is a beautiful mid-century modern bungalow (about 1000 sq. ft) that is renovated regularly with all new furniture, interior paint, etc. It has a foam roof with great insulation, motorized awning, laminate wood floors throughout, quartz countertops, marble dining table, Elfa closets, and a travertine bathroom. It is super clean and the third room looks out onto a lush garden. AC has been added. A dog is welcome for a fee. The property is fronted with floor to ceiling windows, a wonderful balcony and a huge garage. Boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels, sand toys, a picnic basket and a wagon for transporting everything are available.

The bungalow is located at the quiet residential south end of La Cresta (near St. Edwards Church) in the rejuvenated Lantern Village - surrounded by single family homes rather than multifamily rental units.

Partying at this property will not be permitted. And NO SMOKING OF ANY SUBSTANCE is allowed on the premises.

You may note in my reviews that guests find my home incredibly clean. Even the couch has a cover that is replaced/cleaned for every guest. All linens are changed out for every guest - down to the mattress- including rugs and throw pillows. If you are bringing your pet, I will ask that s/he is bathed before arrival and never left alone in the home for too long. My cleaning price may seem high, but it is a pass-through to my beloved cleaning team and professional laundry person. It ensures you will have a spotless home during your stay, and my cleaning team who has been with me for 10+ years continues to partner with me.

Notes from guests:
"Everything was amazing. Thank you sooooo much! My family will definitely be staying here when they come visit again. The fireworks view from the deck was perfect."

"We love the house! The pictures on VRBO don't do it justice."

I only offer this home thru VRBO and AirBNB. No other site or person renting on my behalf is legitimate.

A perfect long weekend in Dana Point

Our family thoroughly enjoyed Deanna's home in Dana Point. We were in town for our nephew's graduation and it was exactly what we were looking for. The location was great and the amenities spot on. We were within easy walking distance of both the town/seaside and our relatives that live right up the road. They too were very impressed with the property and will suggest this to others when they come to visit. Thank you!

Well-appointed Neighborhood House

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is in a quiet residential neighborhood and is walkable to nearby restaurants. All three bedrooms are sizable with plenty of space for belongings. Beds are comfortable. And the house is filled with high-end, thoughtful touches, along with two nice outdoor sitting areas. The host is attentive and responsive and we had everything we needed for a very relaxing stay. Highly recommended!

Great house

We enjoyed our stay at Dana point, lantern village is a cute neighborhood, very quiet. We did not spend a lot of time at Dana point we went to nearby towns like San Clemente as the beaches and town were nicer. House is very clean and had everything needed. Could do with fans in the bedrooms as it would get quite hot in the rooms due to low ceilings. But otherwise very clean and nice.

Evening temps are below 70. House has AC, but this traveler did not use it. Ceiling in only one bedroom is flat (but not low). All others are pitched and high. Fans are in the closets and garage but nobody has ever asked for them, including this traveler. With windows open, neighborhood is so quiet (according to other travelers reviews), you can hear the sea lions at the harbor!

Dana Point Christmas

We enjoyed our stay in Deanna’s home so very much. The house was immaculate and decorated very nicely. Beds were very comfortable and the bathroom is spacious. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook and dine including double ovens and an amazing cook top. The view from the living area is beautiful. The power awning is wonderful to shade the room during the day. We loved that the home was completely gated in, with a nice patio area in the back. And last, but not least, the home is in a very walkable neighborhood, surrounded by beautiful homes and so close to the beach and restaurants, it makes for the perfect vacation!!

Such A Lovely Coastal Home

I'm so glad we booked this property for our family beach vacation. This well appointed home has lots of extra touches to make visitors feel welcome and comfortable. The owner has put ton of effort in to maintaining this home. We especially enjoyed the comfortable beds and linens as we all needed to rest up from our busy lives. The quiet community ensured restful nights which we appreciated. While our cooking was simple, the kitchen is well appointed if you like to cook fancy. Lots of things to see and do in the area. On this visit we spent a midweek day at Crystal Cove State Park on an isolated stretch of beach and it was divine, and we checked out the cute shops in Laguna Beach. Lots of restaurants to meet every budget requirement. Supermarket and Costco are nearby.

4th of July - Amazing!

My family recently stayed here and everyone can't say enough about what an amazing home! We had 5 adults that were more than comfortable staying at this location. The owner was incredibly responsive and eager to assist on all of our needs. The home is located in a beautiful quiet neighborhood near the restaurants and shops as well as the many amazing beaches. The home is spacious, wonderfully decorated and clean. It has everything you need to cook family meals, hang out; even has a beautiful deck with an awning. You can even see the Dana Point Fire works right from the living room with huge windows!...what a view! We were able to spend all of the 4th of July weekend exploring Dana Point Marina, the local hiking trails and the beaches! I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation in the heart of Dana Point. I plan on staying here again very soon and can't thank the owner enough for their hospitality and opening this beautiful home to our family.

Nice cozy place

First of all, I have to say that this home rental was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The cozy atmosphere of the house was warm and welcoming, and it had all the amenities we could possibly need during our stay. The location of the home rental was perfect for our needs. Being so close to Disneyland (~30-40 mins) was fantastic, as it allowed us to easily visit the park multiple times during our stay. We also enjoyed the proximity to the many beaches, which were just a short drive away (Salt Creek was our favorite) . This made it easy for us to take advantage of the beautiful weather and spend some time relaxing on the sand. We also liked that you could walk to a some restaurants - we loved Carmelita's and aPizza Doho, both casual family friendly spots. The home itself was spotless and well-maintained, with comfortable beds. It was a bit cozy for our family of five, but we liked that for a change. The communication with the owner was excellent, and they were always available to answer any questions we had. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at this home rental and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, convenient, and comfortable place to stay near Disneyland and the beaches.

Clean, cozy, comfortable

Deanna's home is super clean, cozy, and very comfortable. You get a great vibe as soon as you enter, with lots of light coming in through the windows and little artistic touches that shows how much she cares about the property. Deanna was very responsive to questions, and even suggested a new Mexican restaurant that was too new to be on her list of recommendations. My son and I tried it out, and it was fantastic. Best of all, it was within walking distance, as was the breakfast place (Stacks) we frequented. The walk back up to the house is up hill, but it helped burn off our meals! Plus, the walk up from the main road gives you a chance to admire all the nice homes along the route - such pretty scenery! The beds were comfortable, the linens and towels were high quality, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The street is so quiet at night, it was like we were in a cabin in the woods - couldn't hear a sound! I also walked to the beach at sunrise, which was great. But if you plan to bring chairs or anything else, I'd take the car. There's a wagon in the garage if you'd like to walk anyway, but I knew we'd be heading out for something to eat directly from the beach. It's a very nice property, and well cared for. Thanks Deanna!

Wonderful Birthday getaway

Spent a week at Deanna’s cute little place with my family of 4. Check in/ out was easy. We enjoyed the nice ocean breeze and the adorable little front and back patio every afternoon/ evening. My only critique is that the outlets in the master bedroom do not accommodate the 3 prong plug, other than that it was perfect! Thank you Deanna for your adorable place. We hope to rent it again in the future!

Perfection!

This beautiful home has it all...comfort, convenience and it is super clean! The home is meticulously maintained and is light, bright and airy. My husband and I had an amazing time here and loved walking to the beach, harbor, parks, coffee in the morning and great restaurants at night. We were still discovering more places to visit the night before we left. We loved how convenient it was to visit Laguna Beach, Balboa Island, San Clemente and Carlsbad. Deanna was so easy and pleasant to communicate with.
