About this property

Upscale Monarch Beach Condo - Walk to Salt Creek Beach, shops, restaurants

Location, Location! No steps! Green space view! Located next to The Waldorf in the exclusive 24 hour guard gated Ritz Point Community. 3 spas with scenic views and spacious seating as well as a gorgeous big pool--perfect for swimming laps. There is also a fitness room. Cool ocean breezes enhance our perfect microclimate! Dana Point is a fun, upscale SoCal coastal community located between Laguna Beach and San Clemente. Get away from it all in this charming Monarch Beach condo with patio overlooking a pleasant green space and an ocean peek from the front walkway! Tastefully decorated and comfortable with gas fireplace to enjoy in cooler weather. This quiet and less travelled location in the community enjoys the direct gentle breezes that drift up from the ocean. An exceptionally well equipped kitchen for your gourmet cook. Lots of drawer and storage space for all your personal items. A/C and central heat provided. Professionally cleaned. Stroll over to nearby Monarch Links golf course with restaurants and shops nearby. Walk or ride straight down the street to stunningly beautiful Salt Creek Beach or meander down to the beach on the scenic golf course trail with no streets to cross. Enjoy any kind of restaurant you could want, the charming Lantern District and the famous Dana Point Harbor, great walking and running opportunities abound or enjoy golfing, surfing, boating, SUP, kayaking, biking, fishing, whale watching and any beach activity you like. Take the ferry to spend a day on Catalina Island. Dana Point has it all, and you can also take a couple of miles ride to world famous Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano or San Clemente offerings. And Disneyland is about a half hour north in Anaheim, with LA just a bit farther, and San Diego is just south of OC. But why leave? You'll love it here!

Beach Get Away

Staying at this property was a wonderful retreat. It's minutes from the beach and walkable to restaurants, a market and coffee shops. With a pool and two hot tubs, one with spectacular views we truly enjoyed our stay.

A special property

We have stayed in many vacation rentals in this area for our month long annual vacation. This one has been the best. This unit is positioned such that is catches a wonderful sea breeze right through the front door. The unit is well equipped, comfortable, and a nice size. A great back patio. The best streaming tv setup we have had. The complex is gated, guarded and well maintained. Adequate parking, which is unusual in a beach area. A great walk to the beautiful salt creek beach. The host, Mary Ann, was outstanding. Immediately reaponded to our inquiries with helpful information. We will definitely be back!

Great location!

Loved the location of this condo! The king size bed was comfortable as was the surrounding space. The condo was well supplied and the managers were very responsive. The unit needs some upgrading as it's beginning to show its age.

Sweet little home away from home.

This nicely appointed and welcoming one-bedroom condo provided a comfortable and well-stocked home away from home for me while my own home nearby was undergoing renovations. The owners of the property are easy to contact and responsive to questions or concerns.

A great location and comfortable place

I used the condo as a home base for working remotely while in OC for business. Dana Point is a great area is Salt Creek Beach is one of the best in the area. The condo was the perfect size for me as a single individual "working from home" during the day and I have already made plans to return. Dale (owner) was very responsive and helpful. The place was clean, well maintained, tastefully furnished and had all the basic supplies one would expect. The only very minor issue other potential guests might consider is distance to the beach. It is about a 15-20 min walk from the condo (cutting through the golf course) to get to the beach. Personally I enjoyed this walk and did it almost every evening after work, but others might find it cumbersome.

Great Long Term Stay

My mother in law stayed here for a month while her new home was being finished and it was a very comfortable and lovely stay for her. We live close to the unit and so it was nice for her to have her own quiet get away. The owners and manager were very responsive and kind. Would recommend to all.
