Debbie’s home is excellent, with many charming touches. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfy, and Debbie is very attentive. We will definitely stay here again!
Highly recommend this Dana Point cottage. Great location, we walked to coffee, restaurants and the bluff overlooking the harbor. Beach was around 1.5mi which we walked to several times but most of the time we did drive there. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed during our stay. And Debbie was an excellent host responding quickly to any questions.
We have already booked our next stay!
Straight out of a magazine, this perfect Beach cottage with views of the ocean is complete paradise! The comfortable home is wonderfully located walking distance to all the highlights of Dana Point.
Every amenity you can think of, the gracious host has provided/included/stocked. Well designed areas make smart use of the space. A California- beach-surf-clean design aesthetic.
We stayed for 2 months, worked from home (high speed wifi/internet and printer all fantastic) and loved exploring the area.
We highly recommend a stay and Debbie will ensure your visit is stellar!
We felt lucky to have found this house for an extended stay. It's spacious, clean, bright, and comfortable. The deck is large, bright, and airy. The kitchen and bathrooms are well-equipped and full of nice welcoming touches. Also, the two office areas were perfect for two working adults.
On top of all that, Debbie went above and beyond to be communicative, welcoming, and accommodating. Truly a top-tier host!
I would highly recommend staying here!
This experience was outstanding! First off, Debbie is a phenomenal host. Her level of communication and friendliness was coupled with an accommodating nature. She made everything so easy and her welcome basket was such a nice touch.
The property itself was incredible. We’re investigative by nature and had found the photos of what the property looked like prior to Debbie’s ownership. Can I just say she did an AMAZING job. It was almost indescribable. It’s comfortable and cozy. Not too small. It was perfect for a family of five. The location is excellent and is easy to get to the experiences in Dana Point. It’s also an equal distance to LA and San Diego so it makes a great home base for a longer trip. The neighbors to the west were also extremely warm and welcoming. It’s quiet there too!
If you’re taking a workcation or a full vacation, we HIGHLY recommend this property and Debbie as a host and we will likely try to get it again for our next trip to Dana Point!
Thanks Debbie!
If you are looking for a quality beach cottage, look no further!! This was our 2nd time enjoying this well done, high quality, well stocked, great location, rental. The owners recently put in a new HVAC system which worked wonderfully for the cool evenings. Will happily stay here again!! The owners are very responsive, helpful and friendly.
This beach cottage is well taken care of and newly remodeled. From the well stocked kitchen, high quality bedding and towels, great mattress and quality stying made our stay most enjoyable. Oh, and very clean!! The owners took great care to ensure our stay was comfortable. We enjoyed it so much we’ve already booked it for next year. The owners are easy to work with and very responsive. We appreciated that the location is within walking distance to the harbor.
Debbie’s cottage was a delight to stay in for our month long trip to SoCal. From the moment we reserved a few months out, Debbie contacted me personally to see what we may need during our stay. The cottage was clean and comfortable and had everything we might need, even beach chairs and toys for fun outings to the beaches minutes away. The location can’t be beat. Dana Point’s Lantern District is so special and filled with great places to eat and grab coffee walking distance from the cottage. The layout of the cottage made us feel like we were part of the neighborhood, but still had our privacy. Oh, and the patio was a great place for meals and to just hang out and enjoy the amazing weather. If you can’t tell… we really did not want to leave!
