Relax, refresh and revive

This little gem of a condo is quiet, has everything you need and the location is perfect. Walk to the beach, restaurants almost on every corner, quick access to freeway to enjoy further away things. Very comfy bed and no carpeting which is a plus for me. If you are looking for some California Dreamin', this is the place. Thank you Veronica, for your suggestions on spots to visit and for providing a much needed oasis.

Great 1 bedroom unit near the beach in Dana Point

Veronica and Adam were very gracious hosts. Whenever I would have a question or concern they would reply quickly and appropriately. The unit is even better than the pictures show it. The community is very quite and there is no street noise. The unit is close to the ocean, beaches and some great restaurants. I would definitely consider stating there again in the futrue.

Summer getaway

My husband and I are retired teachers. We live in the desert, which is lovely in the winter, but summers are brutal. We were able to walk to the beach, run on the path, and explore the lovely coastal cities around Dana Point. The trolley was a fun, free experience, and the pool was my afternoon refuge. This place is really wonderful! Our Dana Point coffee mugs will bring fond memories and smiles for years to come. It's good to bank up these treasures of days!

Del Obispo BRBO

Great location next door to Del Obispo State park and 10 minute trail walk to Doheny State Beach Park. Added bonus for us was that there is pickleball open play at the park every morning. A grocery store and pharmacy are close by, as is the PCH which makes getting to many places like Laguna Beach an easy drive. The kitchen and bathroom are nicely updated, and the shower works really well. Highly recommend this beach retreat. The only potential problem is that there are a lot stairs up to this second floor condo so anyone with mobility issues might be inconvenienced.

Great location

Great location for the price. I was able to walk to the harbor for meals / entertainment. The bike path right behind the facility is great and felt nice and safe regardless of how late I walked down it.

We welcome you to stay in a gorgeous, peaceful, stunning seaside town as a local with all the charm and beauty that comes with it.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely love the beauty and charm that comes from this remarkable beach town for its laid back vibe, gorgeous scenery and friendly community. It’s a special unique gem that sits on one of the most beautiful stretches of the CA coastline. We’ve traveled up and down the state and all over the CA coast and have lived in other beach towns and their natural coves and surroundings are beyond compare. Spend the day at Doheny by the local surfers and the unparalleled Salt Creek Beach where are The Ritz Carlton lies and the Strands Beach where the beauty truly shines.

What makes this property unique

We love that this property has beach access behind the community that brings you down to Doheny Beach and Harbor. Rent bikes, paddle boards and enjoy bbq, volleyball, parks and fun filled activities are there for your convenience.
