Our house flooded so we stayed in the VRBO out of necessity. There was a full model and reconstruction on three of the units below our condo during the entire visit. The noise level was extreme and the construction was absolutely horrible during our visit. I had to have hip replacement surgery, so I was unable to rest and relax with the noise and construction chaos. The property manager knew about the construction as well as the HOA. I spoke to several owners of the other units and they did not have permits nor did they have the clearance for mold. My 17-year-old daughter was sick during our entire one-month stay and I had to take her to urgent care. And she had terrible cough symptoms, respiratory issues, sore throat,. It was not a typical cold, and had to be put on a breathing device because of the conditions of the Vrbo. I have diagnosis and paperwork to support my claim. Additionally, I slept in the master bedroom and had strange bug bites completely covering my torso. I don’t know if there was bedbugs or not. I changed and washed and sanitized the sheets three times and it did not help. This unit should not have been represented by Vrbo nor should it have been rented at all. The construction is extreme and the day we checked out, December 4, Workers were coming in to re-pipe the entire unit. I have pictures and documentation to support my claim, and I am insisting on a full refund. This was a horrible experience for myself and my family.

I've rented properties all over the US and several countries for nearly 20 years. I maintain a five-star guest rating on all rental sites. I treat rentals like my own home. I have stayed at the well-located Ritz Pointe complex a few times, but this was my first stay- and last - in this unit. My list of cleanliness grievances is long. I am a person who likes a tidy environment and who expects, when paying thousands of dollars to stay for a month, a higher standard of care and for it to include a much more impressive array of supplies (ie no kleenex, limited trash bags, no foil/baggies). The night I arrived, I had to run out to buy a battery for a beeping smoke detector. A supply should be in a drawer. The bathroom vent had an ungodly collection of thick black mold coming out of every vent opening. The ceiling fan on the vaulted ceiling above my bed was covered with thick dust that had accumulated for so long that it was clinging in globs all around the blade edges. No sane person would turn that on. In a room with a white duvet, you'd think that would be cleaned with each cleaning. I asked in advance about a blender because I make daily smoothies. When I located it and got ready to use it, I was greeted by slimy wet mold all over the inner parts. Ditto when I opened drawers to find measuring cups covered with mildew. I did ask for - and receive a new blender and a set of measuring cups/spoons. They were left at the door by the leasing agent who did not bother to let me know she had arrived (I was there) and so I could show her in person the photos I had sent. Most owners/agents bend over backwards to make sure they are available to guests. I was told I was unreasonable. I was promised the cleaning people would return the following day. I waited two hours for them. This is not a cleaning person problem. It is a lack of conscientiousness on the part of the leasing company to not check the place thoroughly and really oversee what needs to be done to keep a place in rentable condition. That means you do periodic deeper cleaning and check under furniture, under couch cushions, in drawers. Some former reviews posted about the lack of support in the couch. I was promised the cushions would be replaced. Not true. Carpets are screaming to be cleaned. Kitchen contents average at best. One pro. I was at least able to sleep because the master bed was comfortable. And I asked for and did receive my cleaning fee back. 4 star location; 2 star unit.

A great place but…
Accurate reflection of the write up and photos. It could do with a couple of upgrades. The sofa facing the wall TV unit in the living room is sagging. It’s been well used and most uncomfortable. The bathrooms too look old and could do with an upgrade. A walk in shower in one bathroom could help a great deal. Otherwise, a terrific place!

Stayed one month. Felt like home. 20 minute walk to the beach. Orangetheory, excellent sushi restaurant and cool coffee shop about a 10 minute walk. Heard neighbors in the middle of the night banging around a few times but for the most part very quiet

My stay here could not have been better! Because I was staying for a long term stay during covid, I wanted a place that was spacious and comfortable since I'm "home" more than I would like to be. The condo is beautifully furnished and well stocked. There's even a salad spinner, grater, cutting boards, and tupperware. I love the gas fireplace! The condo and community are very quiet which I love, The bed in the main bedroom is super comfortable as are the linens. I would definitely recommend this place for a short or long term stay.

As soon as I walked in I knew it was going to be a nice, relaxing stay. The property is beautiful and comes stocked with just about everything you need. About a 20 minute walk to the beach. It was easy to keep in touch with property manager for additional needs. They were great at communicating current events like parking changes etc. Would definitely stay again!!

Simply amazing!
The condo has enough space for a family or 4 or even 5. Lot of room and all great amenities including everything you could possibly need for the beach. Carla manages this property like it’s her own and she was such a pleasure to work with. We can’t wait to book it again.

Pleasant stay in this comfy condo
we stayed at this condo from 5/31/19 to 6/3/2019. The condo is very well equipped with amenities. The kitchen has everything we need such as water filter, electric kettle, coffee maker, toaster, toaster oven. There are plenty of towels to use both for the condo and for the beach. I like the high ceiling of this condo. The beds here are very comfortable; I did not wake up with any back pain. There are two TVs in the condo, one in the living room and the other in the master bedroom. I like to unwind watching the TV before going to bed. We have no issue while staying there as the manager, Carla, has prep us with a lot of things that we need to know. The condo has cable and Netflex which provide a lot of entertainments other than going to the beach. The swimming pool and club house are just around the corner. All in all, it has been a pleasant experience staying in this comfy condo.

condo tops
The condole stayed in had a very nice decor with the living area, the dining area and the bedrooms. The beds and sheets were exceptionally nice and comfortable. Any minor problems we had (lighting stove) were handled so quickly that I thought I was arranging the service calls. Carla is a great property manager. Certainly will consider this area again next year.

Great For Our Family!
This was the perfect condo for our family of 4 (2 preschoolers). We grew up in Southern California and we were returning for the summer to visit family and friends. This fit our needs perfectly. We were able to use the community pool and it was conveniently located to the beach. It was nice to have access to on-site laundry as well as beach chairs and beach toys to use. The master bed was comfortable and the linens were nice. The owner was extremely accommodating when we had to postpone our trip after our son broke his leg. We really appreciated her understanding and her flexibility. The only slight negative that made this a 4 instead of a 5 star rating was that it could have been a bit cleaner— with a caveat that my husband has extremely high standards for cleanliness. Overall it was clean but there were just a few dust bunnies here and there. Not too big of a deal. I would recommend staying here.

Great condo with all the comforts of home
We booked this condo for our family vacation because it seemed to be the most updated compared to other condos in the development. It was a bit more expensive than similar units but it was worth it to have the updated interior. It was absolutely perfect for our family which included 2 teenage girls. Condo was as advertised - updated and clean and only 1 mile to the beach. AC worked well and the washer/dryer was a nice plus. Plenty big for 4 people. No issues with the internet and cable. Beach chairs and umbrella were supplied, which was a nice surprise. The development was not the most upscale, but it was perfectly fine for our one week vacation. The pool was small, but clean and not very crowded. The property manager, Carla was very responsive to all of my emails. We took the walking trail down to the beach to watch the sunset. The beaches all had ample parking and were absolutely beautiful. Would definitely stay here again.

Just what we wanted!
My son and I had a great month here at this Ritz Pointe home away from home. We had everything we needed to enjoy the amazing south OC county beauty and close proximity to all the glorious coastline had to offer. The condo had everything we needed to be as comfortable as if we were home. Even with every need, Carla and her crew answered our every need that we experienced here including immediate repairs of a new AC unit the very same day! I would recommend this property and the management company without thinking twice. The condo is quiet as the third floor and top level and worth the stair climb to feel like you are in a treetop home, because you are, rising you above the normal condo parking lot experience! We will be back to this Ritz Pointe location whenever we need a home and vacation getaway in this magnificent area!

Better than the Ritz!
A most comfortable 10 days stay for our Disneyland trip to Southern California. The location is perfect for both Disneyland and Legoland. You can take the HOV lane and avoid traffic. Also after all the madness of the theme parks, it is your own sanctuary in this home away from home. Everything is provided, the kitchen is well stock, the living room is spacious and comfortable for our family of four. Did I mention the bed! Our own bed now pales in comparison. I am still dreaming about this bed now that I’m home. It is better than the 6 stars hotels and the Westin Heavenly Bed. Trust me I know, we travel the world and stayed in our fair share of 5-6 star hotels, St. Regis, Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons etc. This bed and oh the shower, the water pressure is so good and relaxing. There is even a big screen TV in both the living room and the master bedroom with full cable channels and Netflix. The amenities around this condo is so convenient, Dana Point restaurants, supermarkets, even a Costco! The downside is that we wanted to stay in this condo instead of going out to explore the attractions. We can’t wait to return to this 6 star condo!

Visit to be repeated
The unit met all of our needs. We had a terrific five week stay. The location is a 20 minute walk to Salt Creek/Monarch Beach. Walking the beach is a delight. Other beaches are easily accessible as are the many amenities of Orange County. Major grocery shopping is a three minute drive. Costco is ten minutes away. We are returning next year for a similar period. We look forward to the time in such a welcome and pleasant unit.
