Amazing and cozy, with awesome views! Could even hear the waves crashing. Great location as well- everything good is 5-10 milestones away- so close. Host response time was very quick and they were very helpful!

Bright and Breezy Condo The condo is in the Ritz Point complex, on the third floor of a building of one bedroom units. The windows and outdoor deck in the unit face the ocean side where you will get multiple views of the Pacific and the sunset between the barrel roofs of other buildings in the complex. With the windows and sliders open you will get a nice cool breeze in the morning and late afternoons. You will need a car to visit central Dana Point and the Harbor area, where most of the shops and the restaurants are located, however you can walk to Salt Creek and Strands Beach using the Path from the Ritz Point subdivision. The path down to the beach is an easy downhill walk, however the walk back requires walking uphill in multiple areas. It’s well worth the effort as the views along the path are stunning. There are also several excellent restaurants and shops in a small shopping plaza just outside the Ritz Point complex that are an easy walk.

This condo is a true gem in a gated community just minutes from one of the most beautiful beaches in South OC. Having all the amenities like a kitchen and W/D were so convenient. We especially loved sitting outside and enjoying the view of the ocean. A perfect oasis and we look forward to staying again soon. Thank you for everything you did to make us feel so welcome ??

We love Ritz Pointe & stay here often. This was the nicest AirBnB we have ever stayed in at Ritz Pointe. We ate on the patio, enjoyed sunrise & sunset and loved having the windows open to enjoy the fresh air and sea breezes. The walking path through Monarch Beach to the coast is a highlight of our stay here - we did it everyday. We appreciated the ‘backpack’ style beach chairs that we hauled to and from the many beaches in Laguna - loved Crystal Cove! All in all this condo in this location is a win win - quality condo. BEST location ever - and everything you need to enjoy time by the coast. We can’t wait to come back. Additional NOTE: no fault to the owners of the condo - but the only negative to this property was the incessant dog barking all times of day, just across the parking lot from this unit …

What a beautiful condo in a perfect location with a beautiful view. Everything from check in to check out was such an easy process. We appreciated the kitchen had all the staples needed for our longer stay. Can’t recommend this condo highly enough and hope to stay again in the future.

Enjoyed my stay and hope to return next time I'm in Orange County. The unit is nicely outfitted and well-cared for. It's in a quiet location in the complex and the views are much nicer than they seem in the pictures. Thanks for a great stay!

This apartment is a GEM! Views of the ocean from the big balcony, all the beach gear you need and a quiet neighbourhood. I didn’t want to leave. Just remember the address when you arrive as the security guard will ask you for it and print a parking permit for you. Once you are in it feels better than home. One bedroom and one bed so don’t look for other places to sleep.
