Overall, we had a great family vacation over Thanksgiving at thit property. Would definitely stay here again, but there is room for improvement. Specific Pros and Cons:
Pros:
Great location. Close to a lovely beach, restaurants, some small shops as well as Fashion Island mall. Santa Ana airport is less than 15 minutes away.
Plenty of space. 4 good-sized bedrooms, 3 with en-suite baths. Open living room & kitchen that connects to a very functional patio with a fireplace. Additionally, there is a deck on the roof with another firepit and seating.
All the amenities we could have asked for, from 2 coffee makers to a new exterior gas grill.
Very responsive and attentive property management. They communicated well and in a timely manner.
Cons:
Understanding that everyone has their own standards, I would consider this a very nice property, but not "luxury". It may have been at some point, but attention has NOT been paid to the 'little details': door handles that were loose, bar stools that need their seat tightened, occasional delays with hot water getting to some outlets, a couch that could well use an upgrade. On the flipside, all of that contributed to an overall environment that was very comfortable and that allowed us to relax. Again, we would definitely stay here again.
