About this property

Upgraded one level condo. Lantern Village. AC! View deck. Easy walk to Harbor.

WE ARE A LICENSED, LEGAL VACATION RENTAL WITH THE CITY OF DANA POINT. UNLIKE MANY VACATION RENTALS, WE CAN LEGALLY OFFER OUR HOME FOR RENT FOR SHORT TERM PERIODS. WE ARE NOT RESTRICTED TO MONTHLY ONLY.
OUR VACATION RENTAL LICENSE IS STR17-0609.

Only guests listed on the rental agreement are allowed to use the property.
The property has exterior surveillance cameras .

Please check out our related Dana Point Listings that are part of this property. Our three bedroom condo at vrbo #1324176 and our listing for the upper and lower condo at vrbo #1323436.

We take pride in our home, and we want you to enjoy it as much as we do. We are constantly updating and upgrading our home. Recently we have completed the following upgrades:
We replaced the entire wood laminate flooring with an upgraded beach-grey wood laminate flooring.
We replaced both bedsets with Pottery Barn comforter and duvet sets.
We had the entire deck repaintedand had wood replaced.
We had a new, stainless steel dishwasher and refrigerator installed.
We also replaced the entire driveway.
New washer and dryers for each unit in a secure laundry room.

Welcome to Dana Point!
Our home shines like a model home, and the entire condo has been remodeled, including both bathrooms and the kitchen.

WE ARE ALSO ONE OF THE FEW VACATION RENTALS IN THE AREA THAT HAS CENTRAL AIR!! We added central air as we know that even though we are at the beach, there are days when air conditioning is a necessity.

We are only a short walk to the Dana Point Harbor, marina, beaches, shops, and restaurants. Plus, we are close to Laguna Beach and Newport Beach as well as Disneyland and other major tourist attractions. We are also a short 30-minute-drive to Carlsbad and Legoland. And San Juan Capistrano is only about 15 minutes away.

This upscale two bedroom condo duplex has been completely remodeled with a new kitchen with custom cabinets, granite counter tops, and two new bathrooms featuring a custom tile shower and a custom tile tub/shower. All new windows and new laminate wood flooring also add to this bright, cheery home. We also added a security system so our guests can have the benefits of a monitored security system.

This two-bedroom charmer easily sleeps six people with a Cal-King in the master bedroom, a queen bed in the guest bedroom, and a Queen sofa-sleeper in the living room. We also provide a Play And Pack Crib and a high chair.

Located on one of the best streets in the Lantern Village, this updated home also has its own washer and dryer in a separate laundry room and comes with two parking spots as well. And, you will love the huge lounging deck that has an ocean view and plenty of room for grilling out and relaxing after a hard day at the beach. We have a large Weber grill on the the deck as well as a patio dining set which sits six people. You can enjoy grilling your dinner as you catch some ocean view and experience the great Dana Point ocean climate. We also have a fire pit for your enjoyment on those chilly evenings.

Another great bonus feature of this home is that it is all on ONE level. No steps. You can park in the private driveway and in just a few steps is the private entry. Once inside, you will appreciate the bright, open floor plan in which the kitchen and living room are all open. And two eight foot sliders allow access to the huge deck!

The kitchen has an eating area in the kitchen as well as bar stools and a counter area. The new kitchen features granite counter-tops, custom cabinets, new appliances, lots of counter space, and tile flooring. Appliances include a dishwasher, a large gas oven, and a microwave. We also have a drip coffee maker as well as a Keurig Coffee Maker.

This condo duplex is only one of two units in this duplex building, which makes it feel like a single family home. No mega complex here, but a highly upgraded home on a great residential street close to everything!

Our location is unbeatable with quick access to all the activities of San Diego and Orange County. It is all about location and this is where you want to be. Be it for business, a family getaway, or a longer-term stay, this remodeled condo is the perfect place to be!

My family enjoyed all the space to spread out and this particular property was beautifully decorated. Many thick towels which we appreciated. Actually chose this property for the reclining chair that was used for sleeping nightly and for the close location to Dana Pt harbor and PCH. No regrets!

Everything was just as advertised. Only issue was when upstairs unit was occupied, they had two vehicles and we had one. There are only two parking places so space was very tight getting in and out of vehicles.

Wonderful Dana Point home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming home. It’s perfectly situated—easy walking distance to restaurants, a gorgeous park, the beach, grocery and other amenities, with beautiful views everywhere you stroll. The house was perfectly appointed with everything we needed. It was immaculate and very well maintained. While there is a garage, our SUV was too big to fit. We had two car rentals, so we parked on the driveway as well as the street. Parking is not a big issue in the neighborhood, as long as you obey the parking permit signs. Nancy was incredibly responsive to our inquiries and very gracious. This was a gem!

This rental was just what we needed. My husband was in Southern California for some business and I joined him to visit our son who lives in the area. The host was very accommodating and patient with our questions. This was so much more pleasant than staying in a hotel and comparable cost.

A home away from home
This place was so cozy - truly a “home away from home”. They thought of everything from cooking needs to beach fun. Perfect for those who enjoy cooking! I have stayed at many places and they have way too much clutter (cookware) and the bare minimum where cooking is not an option but this kitchen was well-stocked and made for some nice family time around the table. Lovely decor and it was so nice to see the personal touches. Thank you Nancy for hosting us!

Relaxing stay
We had the nicest relaxing stay at Nancy's property. She had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. They provided all the little extras like saran wrap and foil, laundry detergent, ziplocs, papertowels, etc that we appreciated and many other retnals don't provide and you have to purchase. The kitchen well stocked and the deck and bedding super nice. Communication was seamless. Thanks so much!

Wonderful condo, very available host!!
We would stay here again in a minute! The condo is lovely and clean, and all the basics are there. We usually need more space, but there were only 5 adults this time, and the space worked perfectly. The deck, kitchen, and sitting area were plenty open and accessible, and the bedrooms were great! I appreciated little things - like baggies in the drawer, and extra towels accessible in the cupboard. Our stay here was so comfortable. Our only regret is that we didn't have more time to sit and enjoy this lovely little place.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Warner

Host profile image
This property is a family-owned property, purchased by my husband, Dan, and me and our daughter, Kelli. My daughter and her husband have enjoyed living there, but are now moving to a larger home to start their family. We all knew when we purchased this property, that is was a great property in a great location. Our family will continue to enjoy this property and its accessibility to all the wonderful things in Orange County and San Diego County as well.

My husband and my daughter are in the medical field, and I am a licensed real estate agent.

We also have another vacation rental at the beach in Carlsbad for those vacationers wanting to experience San Diego County.

Why they chose this property

We initially purchased this property as a first-time home for our daughter. We knew the location would be great for her and would also be a great investment.

What makes this property unique

This home is on a quiet residential street and yet it is so close to everything. It is also one of the few vacation rentals that is on all one level. And, unlike most vacation rentals, our home has new central air conditioning. We also have an extremely large private deck that is great for entertaining and just relaxing in the loungers. We love
to BBQ on the deck and enjoy the view of the hills as well as view of the ocean. At night, we enjoy the warmth of our fire pit.

We immediately fell in love with this property the first time we saw it. We were excited about being able to walk to the beaches, the store, restaurants, and parks. And, we were thrilled to be buying a home on one of the nicest streets in The Lantern a District.
