Top Salt Creek Beach Hotel Reviews

Dana Point Marina Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a really relaxing time at the hotel. The front desk staff was really helpful and nice. The only issue was the thin walls, which caused a difficult time sleeping with loud people nearby. It's an old building, so I don't blame anyone on staff for the issue. I'd just recommend taking a top floor if you are a light sleeper."

Coastal NEWLY RENOVATED Condo in Dana Point. Walking distance to the Salt Creek!

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and comfy and spacious. The unit is only a 5 minute drive to Salt Creek Beach. The kitchen had all utensils /pots/pans needed to make meals and the balcony was a great spot to enjoy an afternoon nap. Great place!"

• Beach Close 1BR Retreat • Sleeps 4 • Fireplace - Beach Trail Bungalow

10/10 Excellent

"I raised my family a couple miles away from this property and chose this unit for an 11 night stay to see friends and family. Below is the list from top down of assets:You are a mile or less from shopping and lots of food choices and Salt Creek beach. You can walk out the door and pick up the trail that leads to the beach if you enjoy a good walk, it's a little less than two miles one way, is a little hilly and has an ocean and golf course view the entire walk. The unit is very clean and updated and appears just as the pictures. I will point out that the only bathroom can only be accessed through the bedroom, as opposed to living area access. It could be awkward for certain travel arrangements. The king bed is very comfortable, being soft enough and still supportive and feels like a quality mattress. There are beach chairs, nice towels, and other items for outings. The parking is convenient and plentiful, and the gate guards were all smiles and helpful every single time I came through the gate. The unit is over the interior road and the parking spots as most of the units face outward. There was not a lot of noisy people or dogs. There is no view from the unit. It's a very comfy place to hang out inside. I would book it again."

Close to Beach w/ Patio & Resort Amenities | The Point at Corniche | STR16-0458

10/10 Excellent

"The property is in a great location, it's stocked with all the necessities and for being in an apartment/condo complex, the parking was easy. The communication was always timely and check-in/out was clear."

Exclusive Monarch Beach, Ritz Pointe Condo - 2 Bedroom, 2 Bath [STR23-0012]

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful 10-day stay at this condo! The property was absolutely beautiful, spotless, and very well maintained. The host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, including leaving a thoughtful basket of snacks and goodies upon our arrival.The condo was exceptionally well stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Although we didn’t travel with children, it was clear that families are warmly welcomed here. The condo had books, games, and plenty of child-friendly amenities that would make traveling with little ones much easier.We truly appreciated the attention to detail, cleanliness, and hospitality. We would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable getaway."

Real bargain in a highly popular location. Peaceful, cozy, safe, amazing view!

8/10 Good

"Quiet and clean. Host was nice and communicative. Guest suit is separated by wall not a hallway just to be clear. Didn’t ruin anything because we just slept there, and couldn’t hear anyone next door until checkout, but it is not an independent unit."
