About this property

BEAUTIFUL, LUXURY CONDO, GATED WITH WALKING TRAIL TO BEACH!

This luxury condo is in the only complex that is legally allowed to do weekly rentals in Dana Point. "Casa de Awesome" is a gorgeous, newly renovated condo in Ritz Pointe, a 5 - star location near the world famous Ritz Carlton Resort! The prestigious, gated community has a resort-style feel with a swimming pool and 2 spas. It is located adjacent to the beautiful Monarch Hills resort and Golf Course. Our guests have access to an exclusive scenic trail through the golf course to Salt Creek Beach where the Ritz Carlton is located. You can access the Ritz from the beach, by walking up the stairs to their patio for a drink or casual dining and take in the sweeping view of the ocean and beach. Salt Creek Beach is one of the most beautiful white sandy beaches in Southern California and is a premier surfing, body surfing, surf fishing, and diving beach. We provide beach towels, beach blankets, beach chairs, a beach cart and beach umbrella to make your experience extraordinary. It is also family oriented with a large grassy park for playing games, barbequing, picnicing, and whale watching too!

This condo is located just a mile from the city of the world famous Laguna Beach. During the summer months a free open-air trolley runs up and down the Pacific Coast Highway to and from Dana Point and Laguna Beach. You can pick it up at the St. Regis or the Ritz Carlton and get on or off at your choice of many stops. This allows you to explore the many wonderful restaurants, boutiques, and art galleries in a fun and relaxing way. Laguna also hosts the annual Festival of the Arts and Pageant of the Masters every summer. Dana Point Harbor and Marina, adjacent to Doheny Beach State Park, houses deep sea fishing charters and whale watching cruises. Surfboards, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, jet skis and bicycles are available to rent from multiple vendors.

Upon arrival you will be greeted at the gate by the friendly gatekeepers who will give you a pass for your stay . Covered parking is assigned with plenty of guest parking available. With only two steps up from the curb this one level condo is easily accessible. The beach décor and furnishings are designer quality with a resort feel. Your guest information packet includes the condo particulars and community amenities. You are just steps away from the swimming pool/hot tub and exercise room. Around the corner you will have access to one of two other hot tub areas with a sweeping view of the ocean and sunsets. There are beach chairs, towels and a cart for your convenience.

"Casa de Awesome", an inviting, spacious 1200 sf. condo has been completely remodeled and upgraded. There are vaulted ceilings throughout and no one above you. The living room and dining room floors are covered with new luxery vinyl. The master bathroom has a walk-in newly tiled shower, and the second bathroom has a newly tiled shower and bathtub. The kitchen features new quartz counter tops, all new stainless steel appliances, with new dinner and flatware. Both the master and second bedroom are spacious, with large walk-in closets and feature designer bedding and décor. You will sleep like a baby on the new Simmons Sleep Comfort king-size mattresses and the 500 thread count Egyptian cotton bedding. You will enjoy the unique reclaimed headboards which are actual gates from old homes in Laguna. The living room has a large flat screen TV with HD cable above the gas fireplace. WiFi high speed internet is easily accessible throughout the condo.

All new windows and vaulted ceilings create a light, bright setting and the lovely wrap-around deck has an inviting outdoor seating area and gas BBQ. The private view is overlooking the green hills and the beautiful homes of Dana Point.

As desert dwellers, we were looking for a fairly local place to get a break from the August heat. This condo fit us perfectly. The location to the beach and free summer trolley stop was perfect. We tracked a lot of miles with our daily walks down to Monarch Golf Course, the beach and around the harbor. As daily swimmers, the pool and hot tub were in great shape and so close to the condo. The interior of the home was decorated in a cute beachy fashion. The two king sized beds were comfortable. The large,well-stocked kitchen was great - for what little cooking we actually did. Dana Point experienced a hot/humid weather pattern during our stay and having air conditioning, made life comfortable. Otherwise, if the weather had been cooler, opening the doors allowed for a great cross breeze. Access to a washer and dryer right at the condo was great. We have already been talking about a possible return in the next year.

Perfect vacation home for a family of 4! I loved the layout of the condo and the rooms were cozy. My 2 kids slept great in the king bed and so did we. They provided all the essentials to last us the entire week (soap, TP, laundry detergent, etc.). The pool was nice to have although we only used it once since the beach was so close! Dana Point is so beautiful and staying in this condo so close to the beach felt like a dream.

Great location! Just as shown in VRBO except that it doesn't really sleep 6 since the couches in living room don't convert into beds. Having said that, the condo was wonderful and the hosts could not have been nicer or more responsive.

Perfect Stay

We stayed at this property for a week and it exceeded our expectations. It was “as listed” with plenty of amenities and clean. The only downside for us was it’s proximity to the beach, we opted to drive vs attempting the walk.
