The property worked well for our family! We did drive to Salt Creek Beach everyday. Parking is 1 per hour and there is a bit of a walk down a large hill which was a bit difficult for my older mother. Once at the beach it was perfect! Enjoyed the pool and gym that was accessible on the propert. Condo had everything we needed for meals and the extra beach gear was helpful. Great location!

It was ok
The place was very well equipped. But it was rather sad looking and could use some sprucing up. Too many throw rugs as potential trip hazards. The sheets were super worn and appeared very old . I thought it had a slight smell of old cigarettes which I’m very sensitive to. But at least you could walk to many places so the location was good

Needs work - Not ready for prime time
It felt like almost everything in the condo was held together with "chewing gum or duct tape" or didn't quite work the way it should. This includes:*Peeling floor in the master bathroom*Peeling paint in the guest bathroom*Bar height table in the kitchen with 4 stools. But 2 of the stools were counter height, making me feel like I was 8 years old if I sat at them*No overhead lighting - the condo was very dark*Lighting provided by floor lamps, but almost all of the electrical outlets were loose which meant that the lamps had to plugged in "just right" to work. *Pillows were dirty*Rugs covering holes in the floor and bare spots in the floor-to-floor carpets*One toilet was very temperantal and required two visits by a plumber. The other toilet worked just fine.*One time the dishwasher started even though it wasn't locked closed*The kitchen sink faucet was stuck in one position - difficult to use with a divided sink.It does have a great location with easy access (walking or by car) to Monarch Beach.

Great value and location
The lower hot tub (shown in the property pictures) was the star of the stay! The peace and quiet and view of the ocean are worth the visit. Great location and Jason was very nice, accommodating, and responded promptly. The condo is well stocked with all the beach gear and kitchen equipment that you need.

This condo is kind of 'dated' but it is comfy, cosy and spacious and just a 20 minute walk down to the beach. Has a nice deck. San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano and Laguna Beach are just minutes away by car. The condo is quiet - didn't hear our neighbors.

Good for the price
I gave it 5 stars because the owner was very quick to respond to one issue, also since this place was a bit more affordable than others, some quirks were to be expected. The main cons are road noise, fully carpeted, and the walk to the beach isn't as short as I had hoped. It's more for scenery and exercise. If you want to go to the beach and being chairs, etc, you should drive. Was a good stay overall.

Cannot fault the property or location
The property was the best equipped that we have stayed in. It had all the kitchen equipment we would need, including a kettle for an English cup of tea! There were beach towels, cool box, beach chairs, board games - everything.
The location is beautiful. The walk to the beach through the golf course is really pretty and the beach cafe was great. It was a short drive to the theme parks and if you fancy something a little different then I can highly recommend Caspars Wilderness park a short drive away. It had a range of trails and excellent nature centre, which entertained the kids, plus a play park.

Great location
Property was as described in listing. The location was great. From the condo you can walk to a small market and deli, brewery and a couple of really good restaurants. I went for a job from the condo along bike path that leads right to Salt Creek beach.
The property was very clean. I liked the patio. Close to everything in Dana Point and short drive to Laguna Beach. I felt this place has great value for the money.
I will definitely stay again when returning to visit family.

A month in Dana Point
The location is great. The host is responsive. The kitchen, bathroom and beach supplies are well stocked. It is 10 minutes to the harbor where there are great restaurants and walking paths. The walk to the beach is beautiful but it an uphill climb coming home. Loved the pool and fitness room. Gave the condo a 4 out of 5 overall because it needs a little TLC.

So Cal stay in Monarch Hills
We had a great time visiting Dana Point California and wanted to stay in the same complex that my brother lives in. I looked at MANY 2 bedroom units and ultimately went with this unit due to how well it was appointed: King in master, 2 Queens in secondary bedroom, large table and chairs, plenty of seating in living room, TV’s in every room, a kitchen with all kinds of essentials to prepare and eat meals, and also the beach chairs/towels were nice to utilize. The price per night was good for our family and the community was very friendly. Would definitely stay here again!
