Thank you for sharing and most of all for being a wonderful guest!
The home was fabulous! It was beautifully decorated and well appointed for our family group. Carla was excellent to work with too. The location was perfect for us - short walk to grocery store/amenities and also the beach and golf course. Would definitely rent again.
The house was amazing and located in an ideal location to walk to the beach and little shops near by. The house is stocked with everything you would need and the property manager Carla was very responsive and helpful during our stay. I would recommend this house and look forward to staying here again in the future.
California Dreaming!!! Our Monarch Beach rental was wonderful! The house was perfect: perfectly clean, perfect size and perfectly charming! We were also so excited to realize we could easily walk to the beach on the well maintained walkway - right behind the house. LOVED the primary bedroom and our family loved their rooms as well! Top of the line kitchen appliances, the relaxing family room and the fun game room added to our happiness with the rental! A very comfortable porch and large windows allow you to enjoy the beautiful area and warmth of the sun! Our best rental ever!!!

Thank you for your glowing review. Sunset vacation rentals welcomes you back anytime!
The home is very comfortable and located right where you want to be. Close to shops, walking path to the beach and near golf and tennis. Thank you to Carla for easy check in and out process.
This is one of the nicest houses we’ve stayed in. Very large, multiple rooms for relaxing, lovely outdoor areas and views. If you are a runner or walker, this location cannot be beat as it’s adjacent to the paved trail that goes to the beach (less than half a mile) or many miles inland. Highly recommend!!
Home with multiple spaces to allow our extended family of 7 (parents, 2 teens , 2 grandmothers and 1 grandfather) to enjoy group activities or chill on your own
We needed a well appointed comfortable and clean house to work on executive planning in a creative environment. The house checked all the boxes and the location with a 5 minute walk along the golf course to the beach provided the creative spark needed.
The house is impeccably decorated and equipped with any household item you would need. The house was more beautiful in person than in photos. Carla was a pleasure to work with. Great location and quiet neighborhood. Perfect for our family. Thanks for the great memories!
We rented this home as we traveled into town for our daughter's wedding. It ended being the PERFECT rental and met all of our family's needs. It was clean, had great space for multiple families, and is close by to many great towns and attractions. It beat our expectations and I would recommend it. Already thinking of how I can come up with another trip to Southern CA so I can rent it again. :-)
Our adult family of 4 spent two delightful weeks at this house tucked away in a quite community. The photos are a true representation, everything worked and the house was spotless.
Super convenient access to the trail which takes you one way to the stunning beach and the other to the shops.
Carla was easy to deal with and always responded quickly to any queries we had.

Perfect escape to Dana Point/Laguna Beach
Comfortable, private, and thoughtfully decorated, this house allowed us to fully enjoy our stay. We loved walking to the beach and then up to the Ritz Carlton for a sunset cocktail. Laguna Beach is a short 10 minute drive up the PCH. And you're just around the corner from Gelsons, CVS and the wonderful Salt Creek Grille restaurant.
We also loved the big tub and the sauna shower in the master! You have no choice but to relax.
Lastly, Carla was truly fantastic, responding to our every question and need. We had to evacuate because of the LA fires, and Carla jumped on it to help us find a place. We're so glad that she did!

Thank you for sharing this and I am so happy to help a fire evacuee.
The house was wonderful. We had a total of 8 adult family members plus a 2 year old. The house is large/spacious allowing our large group to "spread out". The kitchen/family room area was outstanding for preparing meals together. Kitchen is well stocked with top of the line appliances. 10 minute walk to the beach, 5 minute drive to Dana Point and 10 minute drive to Laguna. Would highly recommend this home.
We had a wonderful time at this property which is well cared for, easy to live with plenty of space and within walking distance to the beach. Great open space kitchen living area which was perfect for what we were looking for. Independence for everyone and together when we wanted to. Very pleasant stay.
What a fantastic home!! Great location... on a beautiful golf course and close walk to the beach. Beautifully decorated. Everything that you would need in the home. Carla was very quick to respond with any concerns. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed staying at this home. We would certainly stay here again!
This is a premium property walking distance to beach and short drive to Laguna and Dana Point shopping and dining. Great for family or adult vacations.
