A Detailed Guest Review: My fiance and I stayed at the this home in Dana Point in July. We drove down to Dana Point from Northern California in order to attend a wedding of good friends at the nearby Monarch Beach Resort. If you are not willing to pay hefty hotel weekend rates common for the region, this private room rental is exactly what you are looking for. The Hosts C & H are the perfect examples of great Airbnb hosts. The kind, welcoming couple turned our trip to Dana Point into a very pleasant stay of which we will have the best memories for a long time to come. A day before our arrival, H reached out to us by text, confirmed our stay once more and asked us about the approximate time of our arrival in order to be on location once we’d reach Dana Point by car. Right after we rang the doorbell, C & H, appeared at the front door and welcomed us to their home. We immediately were able to connect with our hosts and had great talks about our lives: As it turned out, C’s roots go back to Bern, Switzerland, very close where my fiance and I currently are living. It’s a small world, after all. During the whole stay, both C & H were not intrusive at all and granted us our privacy. They, nevertheless, were readily available in case we had special needs and questions. For example, they let us use their refrigerator to store cheese bought at the local farmer’s market. We also were offered to use the laundry and dryer without hesitation. The Property The home is located within one of the many gated communities in Dana Point, easily accessible from major Dana Point roads through two gates with guards on duty. On our first entrance, the guard - already instructed by the hosts - handed us a pass for the whole weekend. On consecutive entries, we just presented the printout and then were let into the neighborhood. The home is located near the entrance gate, at the end of a cul-de-sac and thus the surroundings are very quiet with no traffic at all. During our stay, we were allowed to park our rental car right in front of the house. C & H showed us the separate access to our private room, which leads along the pool all the way around the house. This separate entrance allowed us not to bother the hosts when we came and went. The big terrace is protected from wind and noise by a glass fence which provides a breathtaking view of Dana Point, the sea and sunsets. We didn’t use the pool or the beach chairs, but we assume it’s great to relax at the side of your own private pool with this great view. Inside the private room, the bed is big and comfortably fits two people. Plenty of closet space is provided to stow away luggage and clothes. The bathroom is equipped one toilet, two sinks and a bathtub/shower. Water pressure from the shower-head was great, and also warm water was readily available. Plenty of fresh towels had been piled up for the two of us. Free WiFi is provided, as well as a TV with some 2000 streaming movies and TV shows provided free of charge. You get keys for both the home as well as the door for a pathway which leads you to the beach within a few minutes of walking. The hosts also have prepared a map to show you where exactly the path leads you and which turns you have to take. Within the home you'll find H’s signature decor. Her decoration style and the attention to detail makes you immediately feel at home. And we've rarely been at a cleaner home than this one. Flawless! We wish both C & H all the best, great health and rewarding lives. Thank you!
