"Great property for adults and families. Excellent staff, useful amenities. The game room made us gleeful when we saw a large Connect 4. Our average age is 58. Hahaha Great location. We did wish there were more food options in walking distance, but it did not detract from our stay. Gorgeous view of the ocean. We hope to return next year."

"Great location for our needs. Close to everything that San Clemente has to offer. View from the deck was amazing - overlooking the golf course with the ocean in the background reminded us of some of our stays in Hawaii. Plenty of room for all including our dog - beds were some of the most comfortable we have experienced when staying at VRBO's. House was well equipped for our 6 day stay. Communication with the Host was outstanding. Quiet neighborhood and ample parking for two SUV's in the driveway."

Dana Point Vacation Rental Close To The Beach!

8/10 Good
"The pros: nice size condo, well stocked kitchen, lg dining table, outdoor space, convenient location, plenty of parking, comfortable beds, 1.5 bathrooms, beach chairs, umbrellas, a cooler, boogie boards, a pack n playThe cons: having lived in DP myself for many years, the location is not in a desirable neighborheood - but NOT unsafe. The price reflects this. The Internet was unreliable and slow and info given to log in was incorrect. Communication was slow. It's a great spot for a girls or guys trip, people with older kids, or adults only. The tile floor made it hard with a 7 m/o and a 3 yr old, but easy to sweep up sand. It feels and looks like a bachelor pad, it could use a few homey touches. There were exposed cords everywhere, pictures clearly had been moved, but the walls left with big holes. You can see some effort, but could use more. The patio furniture outside is lower quality than what is listed online, so that was a bit of a disappointment.A few simple improvements I would recommend: placing a basket out with a clean kitchen sponge, extra paper towels, dish towels, higher quality trash bags, extra toilet paper in each bathroom etc. Making sure there's light bulbs in all the lamps-there wasn't, and working batteries in the remotes-there wasn't. Lastly the dishwasher is covered in soap film and smells really bad. It needs a proper cleaning. We did not use it because of this."

Garabaldi Bungalow STR 25-0002 with private patio

8/10 Good
"Bungalow was the cutest and coziest. Everything you might need is provided. Only thing that was a challenge was that at night is was VERY warm in the bungalow. We figured it out after a very uncomfortable 1st night sleep. We strategically used the fans provided in the closet to pump the AC air from the living room to the bedrooms… we closed the bathroom door to prevent the heat that accumulated there during the day due to skylight. Also had to position one of the fans to counter the heat coming off and radiating from wall heater pilot light….Opening up the windows and doors in the evening definitely helped and having the ceiling fans on all day. Note: it was the peak of summer and the highs were mid to upper 80’s so I’m sure this is not an issue all year…Other than that, our host was super responsive and helpful and the place was super clean and nice!"

"Great location, walking distance to restaurants, bars, shops and grocery stores. Check in and check out were simple and we had a nice stay. TV worked well and we used our streaming services. The place has a fully functioning kitchen. There is a community pool, but pool furniture HOA needs to replace the pool furniture as there were no lounge chairs and many regular chairs are broken. A couple things to be aware of are there is only parking for one car and street parking is not allowed unless you have a resident permit. Thankfully, we discovered that there is a "park and ride" about a mile away, where we moved our other car each night and picked it up each day. Also, there is not central air conditioning, which was not a problem for us because the weather was not real hot (mid 70s) the two weeks we were there. It would be uncomfortable in the second bedroom in hotter weather (mid 80s or above). Overall, we had a good stay, price was fair and location good."
