Hilton Garden Inn Dana Point Doheny Beach

10/10 Excellent

"An older well maintained property in a great location 3 min walk from the beach."

Mission Jewel

10/10 Excellent

"We can’t say enough about Dave and Sherry’s beautiful home. It was a perfect home base while in town for our daughter’s wedding.Dave took the time to give us a personal tour when checking in. And Sherry kindly stopped by to cover the patio furniture due to heavy rain. We also enjoyed an intimate family brunch the day after. The sun was shining and our guests loved spending time outside on the beautiful patio It was perfect!"

@ Marbella Lane - 3BR Bliss w/ Golf & Ocean Views

8/10 Good

"The house was nice and very clean, parking was great and the host was good at responding. How ever location on the property was not in San Juan Copastrano, it was further south in San Clemente. The furniture in the living room was very uncomfortable."

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!"
