LOCATION: Dana Point is a city located in southern Orange County, California. It has one of the few harbors along the Orange County coast, and with ready access via State Route 1 (the famous Pacific Coast Highway or PCH). Dana Point and surrounding communities of Laguna Beach and San Clemente are popular local destinations for surfing.

ATTRACTIONS: BEACH TRAIL BUNGALOW is just up the road from the O.C. Dana Point Harbor and downtown Dana Point. Located towards the northern section of Dana Point referred to as ‘Monarch Beach’, it is just a short 15 minute drive into the beautiful and 'artsy' seaside town of Laguna Beach. It’s also convenient and within a short 15 minute drive (or a 30 minute bike ride for the more adventurous types) from the historic San Juan Capistrano where the Mission San Juan Capistrano and the quaint Los Rios District is surrounded with charming antique shops, restaurants, and art galleries. There’s even a petting zoo for the smaller members in your family!

The city was named after the headland of Dana Point, which was in turn named after Richard Henry Dana, Jr., author of ‘Two Years Before the Mast’, which included a description of the area. Dana described the locale, including neighboring San Juan Capistrano, as "the only romantic spot on the coast". Although Dana described the anchorage as poor, it is now a developed harbor and contains a replica of his ship, the Pilgrim. The Pilgrim is used as a classroom by the Ocean Institute, which is located at the harbor.

Come and explore Dana Point at BEACH TRAIL BUNGALOW! We look forward to having you as our Guests!

Best location

It was so convenient to everywhere! It was a quiet area, very restful. It was equipped with everything I needed. Appreciated the Kpod coffee maker. My only negative was when I booked it was winter rates that they quoted rather than summer rates.

Great little place

Location was good. Access to lots of restaurants and the beach is within walking distance. Easy communication with the host. The community seems to have lots of rentals as there were a lot of people coming and going with rental cars. Not bad necessarily, just something to be aware of. All in all, served it’s purpose and I would stay here again. Can’t beat the price!

Very good!

I totally enjoyed staying at this property. I wanted something close to my son and grandchildren and this worked out perfectly. I could walk to his house, the beach, the plaza, the movies, project social...The walk around the golf course to salt creek beach was great! The only reason I gave this property a very good instead of excellent, was the absence of the washer and dryer in the condo itself.

We loved this little condo. We enjoyed Southern California-whale/dolphin tour which is close, drove to San Diego, visited friends in the area, walked to Salt Creek Beach. It was a great location, and the condo was perfect for the two of us.

Beach Trail

It was clean, bright, uncluttered, and surprisingly spacious. I appreciated the stone and laminate floors instead of wall-to-wall carpeting. A welcome bag contained all the types of essentials plus a great snack! So nice to be able to settle in from night one. There was a K-cup plus a Mr. Coffee brewer. I’m a big toaster oven fan, and there was one of those. The fridge produced ice and filtered water. The two leather or leather-look futons in the living room added to the clean appearance and would have guven 2 adults spacious sleeping. A bonus was the walk-in closet, almost the size of a small bedroom. My only concerns were getting in and out of the shower which involved me, at 5 feet tall, doing some gymnastics. A person with poor balance or inflexibility might not have handled it. I saw no recycling bins at the complex which seemed outdated. Otherwise it’s an excellent value for the money. Walk to Moulin Bakery at least once!

You get what you pay for..

The location and price of this property is the best it has going for it. Balcony overlooks a parking lot and dumpster. It’s noisy in the early morning with different residents starting their cars and throwing out garbage. Bathroom is awful. Sink located outside of bath in bedroom. If you’re over 200 lbs I don’t know how you’d fit on the toilet as your wedged between the wall and giant jacuzzi tub. Shower only has one setting.. hot. Quite frankly I’d be worried about a law suit as it’s very dangerous crawling in and out of the tub. Mattress is hard as a rock and pillows were like sleeping on air. Couches look nice but are extremely uncomfortable. No arm rests to lean against. Refrigerator constantly made a winding sound. AC is loud and doesn’t produce cool air. Property manager stated they had beach chairs.. the absolute worst beach chair I’ve ever sat in. Child sized, no arms, can’t recline, straight backed with no pockets for storage. If it wasn’t so cloudy I would have bought some to use and pass along. This owner needs to invest $50 and get some proper beach chairs for his guests that are coming to SoCal to enjoy the beach! Do yourself a favor and spend more money for a nicer place. If you don’t care about comfort then this is the place for you!

Great Anniversary Getaway

Really enjoyed our stay in Dana Point. Nice gated community. Very pretty property and well kept. Met several very nice permanent residents who were very helpful in giving us information about restaurants, beaches, etc. Pool and hot tub area were very nice. Covered parking was great. Condo was really nice and well laid out. Kitchen had everything you could possibly need. Two TVs with lots to watch via streaming. King bed was very comfortable. The only complaint we had was with the living room seating.The two leather futons were very uncomfortable and they were the only seating options.

Better Than Expected!

This condo in Dana Point was better than we anticipated! The neighborhood is clean, quiet, with beautiful lush plants and hilltops all around. A great location! Easy access to groceries, beaches, sight seeing. Was pup-friendly! We all slept comfortably and had all the amenities needed to enjoy an entire week. Having a washer and dryer right at the condo was so helpful! We also appreciated the beach-supplies for our kiddo (and grown ups!) Super easy stay. Would do it again!

Christmas 2021

The property manager was very considerate, they left a bag for us that contained a number of treats. Four individually wrapped cookies, tea, and sample size shampoo and conditioner. The unit itself was exactly as pictured except for the tub. The fitness center wasn't what I expected. The location of the property was perfect for us and the assigned parking was a benefit.

A very comfortable & quiet place to stay.

A couple of suggestions: Please replace your pots and pans, ESPECIALLY your frying pans. The Teflon coating is peeling off, we felt that they were not usable. Also, tub/hot tub is hard to get in and out of. We are fortunate that we are taller people, however a shorter person would have a hard time.

One issue only.

The toilet and shower area was way too small for the toilet and way too big for the shower. Maybe a normal size tub shower combo should be looked into if this is going to remain a VRBO property. Other than that we had a great time.
