Snowbird Special! Jan-March. 2 bed / 2 bath - Walk to Harbor!- Harbor Cove

Vacation Concierge Proudly Represents…… HARBOR COVE!

HARBOR COVE is the perfect destination for your family vacation, short-term housing needs, or corporate housing rental. So close to Doheny Beach and Dana Point Harbor you can feel the ocean breezes and smell the clean ocean air upon your arrival.

HARBOR COVE is centrally located in the beautifully landscaped, private, safe, gate-guarded, family oriented Condominium Community of Harbor Creek in the Doheny Beach area. Access to the beach would be through a gently meandering, beautifully landscaped pedestrian-oriented path. It is about ¼ mile or a 10 minute walk to Doheny Beach. HARBOR COVE is also convenient and within a short 5 minute drive (or a 20 minute bike ride for the more adventurous types) from the historic San Juan Capistrano where the Mission San Juan Capistrano and the quaint Los Rios District is surrounded with charming antique shops, restaurants, and art galleries. There’s even a petting zoo for the smaller members in your family!

HARBOR COVE offers a quiet pool and a large spa at the center of the complex with the relaxing sounds of small creeks, streams, and footbridges throughout the development. Our newly renovated condominium home is just steps away from the community pool and spa.

HARBOR COVE is ideally situated to all of Southern California’s entertainment amenities. Located just 60 minutes south from LAX and 30 minutes south of John Wayne Airport, points of local interest are Disneyland, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Balboa Island, Catalina Island (Ferry leaves from Dana Point Harbor) San Clemente Pier, Knott's Berry Farm, Legoland, Universal Studios, and San Diego Zoo. Drive a little further south and you could enjoy an exotic adventure for the day in Tijuana, Mexico.

Dana Point VRBO

We stayed for 2 months! Property was very clean! Kitchen and laundry VERY well equipped! The size of the 2 bedroom condo was perfect. Close to the park and grocery! Our only suggestion is NEW MATTRESSES! Beyond uncomfortable. Please get some new/firm mattresses. It matters!!! We hope to return next year!

Delightful Stay at Dana Point

Our stay at Harbour Cove was utterly delightful! The 2 bedroom 2 bath condo was wonderfully and elegantly decorated, sparkling clean and the location- superb! The Harbour within walking distance - every convenience within easy distance! It served our every need! The pool was lovely, and the babbling brook outside our door made us think we were in the great outdoors day and night! This was my favourite place in all my stays in California! We do hope to come again!

Katherine W., Where do you live?

Nice, peaceful place to stay

The only reason I rate this condo low is, after leaving the place spotless, it takes a full month (plus) to receive your refund - I checked out on 4/17 & as of 5/22 still don't have the check (I hear it is OTW). Most places have a minimum 2 week turn around, so this is a downside to me. However, the condo is very nice. It is smaller than the photos lead you to believe, but was comfortable and clean. The dishwasher needed to be repaired/replaced as dishes going into it came out even dirtier than they had been, and, as some of the dishes in the cupboards were put away dirty, you knew it wasn't a "new" issue. Did make management aware, so hopefully that has been fixed. The location is lovely - you are a few feet from the pool - which is too cold for me, but probably not kids and the hot tub was lovely. Because you are close by, you do hear noise from the pool area, but it is closed by 10pm and I never thought it was an issue. The beach is almost a mile away - it's a nice walk, but not right outside your door. I enjoyed getting to run there and back, but I wouldn't want to haul my surf board that far - it is a one minute drive if you are carrying a bunch of items. Furniture was comfy, master bed room was roomy and pleasant. I would keep a max of 4 people here, but you could bunk someone on the couch if you don't mind being cozy. They allowed my small dog to stay, which was a huge perk, and we were very comfy with one or two guests periodically, It is a nice, quiet, community (at least while I was there) & the parking was enough that I was able to park my large truck (a dully would be tough). My biggest complaint? All the speed bumps! After a month of driving over them every day, I was done with that - otherwise, and with a faster return on the check, I would rate this a high 4 stars and stay here again.

Very Disappointed

In my nearly 20 years as a VRBO client I have never encountered a management team that promised more and delivered less than Vacation Concierge Inc.After signing and initialing a m ulti page agreement detailing renter conformance and penalties for non conformance I assumed CVI would live up to their 24/7 response to needs.I was wrong,their response was glacial at best.We had 2 reading floor lamps that didn't w ork,after promising to fix or replace immediately after more calls they showed up seven days later with one lamp.The barbcue was filthy,the screen door difficult to open and close after more calls someone came by 2 days later and cleaned grill,door frame is crooked so door could not be repaired.The mattress cover in MBR had 2 huge urine stains,so much for house keeping.The most blatant exa mple of management irresponseability is this,we found a expensive mens watch left by a previous renter,I advised Vicki Mann of VCI,she said she thought she k new the owner,would call him and get back to me,that was 6 days ago and I havn't heard from her. VCI responds to renter needs at their leisure with no concern for renters needs or frustrations. Ed Williams

Great Property Management!

We stayed at Harbor Cover for 3 weeks during our transition between home purchases. It was a great location with a nice pool and close location to all the great things in Dana Point. We really enjoyed our time there. The bet part of the experience was the great work on behalf of the property management team. We had to extend our stay and they were very accommodating. We also had one minor fix that needed to be made in the kitchen and they were on it in less than a few hours! Amazing!

Great Condo - Very Cozy

The condo at Harbor Cove is sunny & well kept. Having the pool & hot tub outside your door is very convenient to the condo. A half hour walk along the river takes you to the beach & harbor without crossing any streets. The beach has beautiful sand and bikes can be rented there. In the harbor is a busy coffee shop & many very good moderately priced restaurants. At the Dana Point area is the Marine Science Center. The children would like the tidal pool or you could sit & watch the sunset. A very nice experience. -Vinje

Another Wonder Month

We have stayed at Harbor Cove several times. It has become like a second home for us. We loved the place. Not only the grounds and setting of the Harbor Creek development but the unit itself. It is very well appointed, very comfortable, and spotless. And you get a covered parking spot. A real great unit. A couple of other real pluses for us is how close you are to everything. You can walk to the beach, shops and restaurants, and the harbor. You are very close to "downtown" Dana Point and you have great freeway access - but just far enough away you have no noise. Like I said before, we love the place and will be back next year.

Annual California trip.

Our stay was extremely comfortable and convenient. Loved the early morning walks to the beach. Convenient to family and friends. We had a plumbing issue, which was solved quickly. Would definitely recommend to others. Thank you Jeffrey and Jenna for the use of your condo.

This condo has everything...

This condo has everything you would want in a vacation rental. We spent two months here and if we had a question the owner would answer promptly. Something you never find in a rental. It was clean, roomy, great kitchen and newly furnished. Having a patio with a babling brook & bar-b-que was wonderful. Spa & pool convenient. Easy & short walk to Dana Point harbor, shops & restaurants. We would definitely rent this unit again or any others from Jeff - knowing it would be great.

We had the pleasure of staying at Harbor Cove during the month of December 2007. It is tucked into a lovely garden setting with a bubbling brook running past the patio. The interior is furnished in an upscale yet very cozy style. Not only lovely, but in a great location, very close to the Dana Point Harbor, yet just minutes from Laguna Beach, shopping and restaurants. Our next trip to the area will lead us right back to Harbor Cove.
