Dana Point Getaway

We enjoyed our visit. The place was nice and cozy. The location was in a gated community and convenient to all that the area had to offer. The online photos showed a gas fireplace (in use). We were unable to utilize that amenity. We were disappointed to say the least. Reason: We were told by the host that it was a safety hazard. Cleanliness on a scale of one to ten. 6 1/2. The beds were comfortable and most all the amenities were as described in the VRBO listing. It checked most all the boxes. The beach vibe and decorations were spot on. Hats off to whomever decorated the place!

Great stay!

I was hesitant booking this one from some past reviews, but it seems they have certainly cleaned their place up and are back on track. It was cozy and spacious at the same time which was just what our family of 4 needed for a busy weekend of family time. Gave a 5 out of 5, because it really did provide everything that it advertised and had clear communication through the papers available for reference in the condo which I felt was non-intrusive. If I could give the condo owner tips on a more luxurious experience I would maybe recommend providing shampoo, conditioner, or soap outside of the handsoap provided and maybe adding a few tupperware items to the kitchen houseware which would be especially helpful for longer rentals.

Disappointing and dirty

We received a message from the host at 1:30 for our 3:00 check in saying the property would not be ready until 5:30. I stated that we were driving from PHoenix and it was my son's birthday and we would at least need to drop items off. At 3:00 housecleaner was not even there yet. We returned at 5:45 and she was there and did not finish until 6:30. Not only that, but towels were not dry, dishes were in the sink and the dishwasher (dirty) and there was black hair in the bathroom. I told the host this was unacceptable and her reply was, "she was in a hurry so you could start your vacation." We were offered a $25 gift card as reimbursement. Unfortunately, I left my bathing suit and cover up in the dryer and notified the host the day we left, just a few hours after. I was told she would ask the housekeeper. Well, she said the cleaner didn't find my brand new suit or cover up, that I wore one time and was in the dryer with other items that dried more quickly and I removed. I have rented dozens and dozens of properties and never encountered such uncleanliness and unprofesionalism. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!

Great Safe Spot Quick Drive to Beach and Food

Very quiet, well maintained and safe community. Easy access to the beach, plenty of food delivery options. Kitchen was great to work in. Hot tub and community pool was very accessible.
