This condo was perfect for us. We enjoyed walking the beautifully maintained grounds. The pool area was lovely and quiet. It was about a 15 minute walk to the beach. The walk was very relaxing and peaceful. The condo itself was well stocked and comfortable. Would recommend a stay here!

We stayed the last week of September/first week of October. The check-in process has been perfected. Directions provided were spot-on. The unit is bright, comfortable, open and airy, and has enough space that you can get away and spend time inside or outside reading or just chilling. We found that the kitchen had all of the pots/pans/utensils we needed to make several meals and we appreciated the full size dining room table. The beach items (chairs, blankets, towels, umbrella) were fantastic and we used many of them several times. Location is convenient to groceries (Ralph’s, Trader Joe’s, Gelson’s) and restaurants (Salt Creek Grille and RJ’s were favorites). The walking trail to the beach puts you about 15 minutes away and the views are stunning (go counter clockwise when you get to the resort, the beach opens up in front of you - amazing!) There is nothing we did not like about this place and we hope to return some day.

This was my family's first Vrbo experience and it was one to remember! The property is beautifully decorated, extremely clean, and in a nice safe and quiet area. It's close to many great destinations like Dana Point Harbor. The hosts accommodated an allergy with non-feather pillows. They were sometimes a bit slow to respond, but it never caused any issues. All the necessary information was either already provided or in their handy booklet onsite! We would definitely stay again!

nice place
Misinformation was given to me about the check-in process, so at first I was very nervous about not being able to get in. Fortunately the property manager received my text and replied fairly quickly. The controller for the fireplace was nowhere to be found.

Great getaway
Ann Marie was quick to respond with check in process and was quick to remedy an issue at initial check in. The sand and sea is a beautiful , very clean and incredibly decorated condo with great patio space in a quiet division. Great location close to many great beaches. It came complete with anything you would need to enjoy your vacation including anything you would need for the beach like blanket, towels, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, child life jacket, sand toys, and football to toss around. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and location is close to really good grocery stores/markets. It was perfect for our family. We look forward to staying there again.

Wonderful week
Beautifully designed and appointed condo, higher end furnishings and all Amenities all contributed to a very enjoyable stay. Problem with TV working properly but mgr had man come over and he got it working. Beds very comfortable, would be great if there was a TV in bedroom. Super stocked with beach stuff, that was terrific.
We’ll be back next time and stay longer!!

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean and well kept. It was close to a lot of things, in the beach. The property managers were very easy to deal with and helped tremendously with explaining everything ahead of time. When we come back to CA, we will definitely stay again.

4th of July Visit to Dana Point
Beautiful condo, lots of natural light, spotless clean. Very comfortable home. Great patio and screen doors were nice in evenings when cooler outside. Plenty of towels. Comfortable beds. Washer and dryer very handy. Thanks so much for the laundry pods. Super cute beach themed decor. All supplies for upgraded kitchen and grilling made cooking in super easy. Very quiet gated neighborhood and super close to grocery store. We walked to the beach every day. It’s about 1.5 miles one way. We felt extremely safe and the walk takes you through a beautiful neighborhood and Monarch Beach Resort’s Golf course. Would definitely stay here again. The owners were responsive and helpful in answering our questions prior to visit. We literally had zero issues our entire stay!!

Fun Vacation Location!
My sister and I enjoyed staying here while competing at the US Masters Swimming Nationals in Mission Viejo. Good restaurants nearby and in Dana Point and nearby grocery shopping. Salt Creek Beach was fun. The place had chairs and umbrella were there for us to use! The pool and hot tubs were relaxing and not crowded!

Beech Vibe!
Our stay was wonderful. Owners were outstanding, communicative, and the place is immaculate. Could not believe how clean it was. The location was close to the beech but found that a daily car rental was needed to haul all the gear there. A bike or walk would have been a chore for sure. The owners provided so much wonderful beech stuff, there is too much to mention. Nothing was needed to buy. Even kids beech toys were supplied. Not a complaint, just a note...the owner was a bit short on toilet tissue, and garbage bags but that was easily cured at Ralph's nearby. The location as I mentioned was close to the beech but balcony view is only of the building next door so that was kind of a bummer but considering the price, all was well. The complex has an awesome location with a hot-tub and ocean view just a short walk away which we used a lot. Oh, the gated community is easy to navigate but frequently run by an old guy that clearly hates his job and the furthest thing from a warm reception, so just show your credentials and move on and enjoy your vacation. Thanks for everything, we loved our stay and highly recommend to others. Cheers.

Sea & Sand
We just got back from our stay at your home. From the moment we walked in we fell in love. The home is spotless. The 2 twin beds are very comfortable. The decoration of the home is just beautiful! All the amenities you need are there from beach towels, pots, pans, dishes, to hangers for your clothes. Everything was provided.. The bathrooms are beautiful and so clean. Will definitely come back again.

Left early due to sewage smell
Unit was nice but location was not walking distance to beach, no information on checking until I sent a message to one of the owners the afternoon on day of arrival about how to check in, dining tv did not work and the master bath had a horrible sewage smell that made entire place smell causing me and my family to leave 3 days early due to sickness from the smell.

Gemütliche, gepflegte Wohnung in guter Lage. Management könnte besser sein.
Gemütlich eingerichtete Wohnung mit guter Ausstattung. Zwei Schlafzimmer und zwei Bäder. Sehr bequeme Matratzen. Allerdings WLAN-Router im Hauptschlafzimmer, vielleicht habe ich deshalb nicht gut geschlafen. Toilettenpapier haben wir selber nach einem Tag kaufen müssen. Gute Waschmaschine, guter Trockner. Küche gut ausgestattet mit allem was man braucht. Leider viele kleine Ameisen, so dass alles Essbare in den Kühlschrank musste. Im Wohnzimmer funktioniert normales Fernsehen, trotz zweifacher Reparaturversuche nicht, dafür Netflix & Co. Fernseher im Essbereich ist einwandfrei. Balkon ist wg. Eukalyptusbaum immer schmutzig. Wespennest im Waschraum. Gute Airkondition. Strandhandtücher und -equipment vorhanden. Fotos sind authentisch. Ausreichend Parkplätze in unmittelbarer Nähe. Hauptpool auch. Ruhige Nachbarn. Nun zum Management: Gut: Persönliche Begrüßung bei Anreise. Prompte Organisation des Reparaturservice (Fernseher). Schlecht: keine Information des Personals am Gate über unseren Aufenthalt. Falsches WiFi-Passwort. Gästebuch mit Instruktionen schlecht auffindbar. Keine Antwort auf DREI(!) Anfragen wg. Late Check-Out um 11.30. Um 10.20 Uhr war die Putzkolonne da.

Impeccably decorated serene beach getaway!
The condo was perfectly decorated, extremely clean and all the comforts of home were provided! We appreciated having the essentials toilet paper, paper towels, soap, plenty of freshly laundered linens and too many extras to name! The condo is peaceful quiet, and very relaxing with a fabulous balcony for sunning, bbq grill, laundry in the unit and a beautiful pool and hot tub for when you need a break from the beach. The owners were professional, helpful and very easy to work with! We loved it so much we extended our stay for another week. The free trolley around Dana Point was an added bonus. We can’t wait to return next year.

The Sand and Sea is Perfect
Located right off of Salt Creek Beach, in between Dana Point Harbor and the cliffs of Laguna Beach. There is no shortage of scenery around the sand and sea. The condo sits right behind the monarch beach resort and golf course which sits right next to the Ritz Carlton and Pacific Ocean, Ritz Pointe is filled with upscale condos and multi million dollar homes there is plenty of security 24/7 you will feel safe at all times . We chose to walk the trail the first few days which takes you down through Ritz Pointe onto a public trial that goes through the golf course and resort and out to the ocean. The walk everyday was quiet, scenic, peaceful, filled with sunshine, ect. Ann Marie made sure we were loaded with any and all beach accessories, seriously you won't have to worry about a thing when you stay here. The condo is loaded with everything there isn't a second you won't be comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with stainless steel applicances, coffee pot, blender, there was no shortage of coffee mugs or cups or plates or anything even the tiling and lighting is perfect. The condo had a real upscale beachy feel to it. Flat screens hanging on the wall, there is a really nice sound system equipped with speakers that run through out the condo so you can hook your phone up and play music. The condo is minuets from the pacific coastal highway so going up to Malibu or down to San Diego is easy. We're from Philadelphia and our hockey team was out here and we were easily able to venture into LA and Anaheim for the games. LA and LAX are about and hour away from the condo. You can easily access several freeways from Ritz Pointe. You will not have to worry about sleeping either when you stay here. The bed, the pillows, the blankets, all top of the line. We had the greatest week at the sand and sea there wasn't a second that we weren't happy, then again it is Southern California. I would stay here again in a heart beat!!!!

We stayed a week in this beautfull apartment at the ritz pointe.
From the moment we came in we felt so at home and loved it!
Every detail is well thought of and of high standards.
The cosy sit outside for your breakfast,coffee and lunch in the sun,the gorgeous kitchen,the beautiful bathrooms and the cozy livingroom,it all adds to that complete feeling.
TV with netflix and your own spotify music in the sleepingroom,fantastic king beds,the place beats most hotelrooms.
We went almost every day to one of the three spa's which are on the complex and loved the views of the golfcourse and the ocean.
It's a nice walk to the ocean too
We also went almost every day to the harbour to do some standup paddling and we took a whalewatch tour,fantastic!
We also saw 6 whales from the shores of laguna beach and a lot of dolphins,amazing.
We cannot think of anything negative,loved it and will return:)
