Top Lantern Bay County Park Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Muy buena muy tranquilo!."

Hilton Vacation Club Riviera Beach & Shores

10/10 Excellent

"I love the property. Stay here whenever I’m in town."

Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved our stay at the Waldorf. Rooms are so spacious, modern, clean, and lux. Obsessed with the hotel grounds too and access to private beach club, lovely pool with a view. There were a few inconveniences but we loved our stay and the property/hotel staff. A couple issues came up: the valet lost our keys for an hour which freaked us out and the restaurant service was slow and they accidentally left some allergens in dishes that had to be sent back to get fixed. Also had fire alarms go off endlessly at 4 am but other than that we loved it."

Lantern District condo. Huge private view deck. All on one level. Walk to harbor

10/10 Excellent

"we really enjoyed being there an it's a great location. Thank God for the ACNancy was a great communicator and checked in on us as well"

Panoramic Ocean Views, Custom Bluffside Estate, Dana Point

10/10 Excellent

"Working with Wyatt was excellent. The house was roomy, comfortable, great location and very nice amenities. FYI, the driveway is very steep, and although two garage spaces were included, we opted for street parking instead. So walking up and down the driveway, even with steps, was a little bit difficult for us "older" ladies. But the views are fabulous, we had a great time, and would return if we are ever in that area again."

Dana Point Dream Home with White Water Ocean View (Permit #STR14-0084)

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, beautiful home, great location, we enjoyed or stay in every way"

Luxurious coastal condo with amazing backyard

10/10 Excellent

"Great place in walking distance to Dana Point. Had a great time with our stay and the check in/out couldn’t be easier."

Dana Point Spanish Revival STR14-0220

10/10 Excellent

"Terrific location walkable to just about everywhere in main areas of Dana Point. Having A/C was a huge plus as we hit a heat wave when there. The only con was the bed was somewhat soft and indented where people have slept. I filled in the indentation with a folded beach towel and slept well. It is an old historic place so not modern at all, but it has personality and we loved it. Coffee on the front deck every morning, smart TV for shows at night."

Dana Dream Coastal Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"This place was exactly as advertised. So comfortable and cozy. Very relaxing grilling hot tub area."
