About this property

Walk to Beach, Pool/Spa, Ritz Pointe, Dana Point, Waldorf Astoria

Resort-style living, and breezy vibes make this coastal condo the ideal retreat for your next getaway to the California coast. Tucked away in the exclusive community of Ritz Point, this well-appointed condo sleeps six and features resort amenities and the security of a 24/7 guarded gate and patrol.

Make yourself at home in the family-friendly gathering areas with ample comfortable seating, and unique touches that you’re sure to remember. The fully stocked chef’s kitchen has everything you need to prepare all your meals and includes a one-of-a-kind surfboard café table – the perfect place to start your day before catching some waves!

The large wraparound patio with outdoor living area is optimal for winding down after a long day with a glass of wine or your favorite cocktail. On cooler evenings, the large living room with flat screen television and fireplace is the proper spot to snuggle up for movie night.

Be sure to rest up at night to be able to seize the day. The primary suite features a king-sized bed with hotel linens and plush pillows, as well as an en suite bathroom for privacy. The secondary bedroom includes a queen-sized bed, and access to the hallway bathroom. Each bedroom sleeps two, and two additional guests can be accommodated on the queen-sized pullout bed located in the living room.

After a good night’s sleep, the vacation continues the moment you step out the door where endless activities await. Get a workout in at the private gym on property, with several cardio and weight training options. The newly renovated community pool and three jetted spas and stunning views are a lovely place to relax year-round if you would prefer to stay close to home. It's an approximately 30 minute walk to the beach through the Monarch Beach Golf Links, which boasts some of the best views of the coast both on and off the Golf Advisor 5-star rated public course. If you are interested in teeing up while on holiday, please contact the course directly to schedule a tee time.

The local beach is breathtaking and provides ample opportunities for watching whales and dolphins as they glimmer jumping through the waves. The Dana Point coastline is nearly seven miles long and comprised of six different beaches to explore, and beach gear is included with this property.

There truly is something for everyone while vacationing in Dana Point – surf, swim, kayak, paddle board, boogie board, body surf, or just stroll along the water’s edge. If water activities aren’t for you, there is plenty for land lovers to enjoy! The Ocean Institute, Catalina Island excursions, Dana Point Harbor, fishing, biking, hiking, fine dining, art galleries, and shopping are all just minutes away.

If you are looking for a fun family day trip, Southern California has so much to offer! Great entertainment destinations are just a car ride away, including Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, Lego Land, Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, Universal Studios, and even skiing and snowboarding during the winter months at Big Bear Mountain Resort.

A bit of a disappointment
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property was clean and pretty well appointed, but is very in need of updating with respect to electrical and bathrooms. Many outlets are unusable and the ones that work are overburdened with power strips and such. Cant be up to code. Would have been helpful for info to be left about how to access amenities- we found the keycard and asked a resident how to use. 2ndary bedroom is really tight to get to closet, we kept hitting our thigh on the footboard when going to closet. Ouch. Constant trickle of ants in the master bath. Small flies in bathrooms and kitchen. Bathrooms desperately need to be updating. Master shower - masking tape around of the ends of the shower rod. Towel bar moved and patched old holes but did notPaint. Plumbing fixtures old and need to be replaced.The property was adequate, but would choose different next time.

The good, the bad and the ugly.
The Good: management was very responsive. There was ample coffee, sugar and even some spices. The dishwasher worked well and there was plenty of pods for it. Laundry was good and plenty of detergent and fabric softener. Linens were nice quality and beds were comfortable. The bad: the out door space is ground level looking at the parking lot and very dark without any sunlight except for briefly in the morning if there’s no cloud cover. The entire unit gets almost no natural light unless you leave the front door open. Also- the location is barely walking distance to the beach. It would take more than an hour to walk there and same back. Unless the walk was for the purpose of the walk but not really to enjoy the beach, I guess it is technically walkable, but you would not want to carry gear to the beach on that walk. We drove to the beach and parked everyday. The ugly: upon arrival, there was a terrible smell in the unit. The smell was of sewer gas or a mustiness that was being masked by plug in air freshener. It was so strong, we had to open all the doors to air the place out. Overnight with running the AC the smell dissipated enough that we decided to stay rather than try to find a new place to stay. The plumbing is fragile in the master bath- barely will flush even just toilet paper. The kitchen sink smells and faucet is very loose at the attachment to the counter. The connection to Amazon prime or Netflix stopped working. Outlets were very loose.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Well equipped condo. Walk to the beach through the neighborhood and Golf course was just the right distance. Close to a small shopping area with an Orange Theory, and an Italian restaurant which was open for dinner on Eater Sunday. Rained for two days, so it was nice to have space in the condo to read and play games.

My husband and I stayed for a week and really appreciated the space, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches. Good WiFi; really nice washer and dryer; comfortable beds; outlets where you need them; seemed like a well appointed kitchen, although we mostly went out (there are lots of restaurants). Great visit.

Fantastic neighborhood and beautiful condo!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The condo was so clean, smelled good, had darling ocean decor, and every kitchen appliance you could ever need. We walked to the beach yhe first day, and it was a beautiful walk, but we drove the next few times simply because with all out gear and kids, it was easier. The host supplied an amazing array of beach gear and sand toys, along with a wagon to haul it. We were SO grateful for this added convenience they provided. It made it so much easier to pack for this trip knowing we didn’t need to pack a single thing for the beach. Everything we needed/wanted was provided. Thank you for sharing your beach house with us. We also had the most enjoyable time watching the 4th of July fireworks right from the hot tub that overlooks the ocean. Just awesome!
