This rental was just what we needed. My husband was in Southern California for some business and I joined him to visit our son who lives in the area. The host was very accommodating and patient with our questions. This was so much more pleasant than staying in a hotel and comparable cost.

Dana Pt Condo

My family enjoyed all the space to spread out and this particular property was beautifully decorated. Many thick towels which we appreciated. Actually chose this property for the reclining chair that was used for sleeping nightly and for the close location to Dana Pt harbor and PCH. No regrets!

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Warner

Host profile image
This property is a family-owned property, purchased by my husband, Dan, and me and our daughter, Kelli. My daughter and her husband have enjoyed living there, but are now moving to a larger home to start their family. We all knew when we purchased this property, that it was a great property in a great location. Our family will continue to enjoy this property and its accessibility to all the wonderful things in Orange County and San Diego County as well.

My husband is now retired from the medical field and I am still active in real estate sales and rental management. However, we love to stay in our Dana Point condo as much as possible as our condo is so close to the beaches, hiking trails, restaurants, shopping, and coastal cities such as San Clemente, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Encinitas, Del Mar, La Jolla, and Carlsbad.

Born and raised in South Dakota, I truly appreciate the coastal towns!!





We also have another vacation rental at the beach in Carlsbad for those vacationers wanting to experience San Diego County.

Why they chose this property

We initially purchased this property as a first-time home for our daughter. We knew the location would be great for her and would also be a great investment.

What makes this property unique

This home is on a quiet residential street and yet it is so close to everything. It is also one of the few vacation rentals that is on all one level. And, unlike most vacation rentals, our home has new central air conditioning. We also have an extremely large private deck that is great for entertaining and just relaxing in the loungers. We love
to BBQ on the deck and enjoy the view of the hills as well as views of the ocean. At night, we enjoy the warmth of our fire pit.

We immediately fell in love with this property the first time we saw it. We were excited about being able to walk to the beaches, the store, restaurants, and parks. And, we were thrilled to be buying a home on one of the nicest streets in The Lantern a District.
