Dana Point Spanish Revival STR14-0220

We had a lovely, relaxing time in this amazing Spanish revival historic home. The second floor one bedroom floor is large and rich in character, with multuple balconies including a cozy main balcony with distant ocean views. We enjoyed a perfect weekend retreat within close walking distance of many shops and restaurants. Truly special!

As one of the few remaining Spanish revival buildings left in Orange County, this apartment reflects the era in its decor and charm. We enjoyed reading about the original builder in the information binder. (Think dark wood, conquistadors and a beautiful fireplace!) While visually appealing, this also meant it was dark and there weren't any lights that were adequate for reading. Luckily I travel with a Kindle. We thoroughly enjoyed the patio and all the Romeo and Juliet balconies off every room in the apartment. While the picture shows the entire building, there are narrow stairs that lead to the upper floor apartment.John was very responsive to our questions at check-in. We were traveling with expensive e-bikes and he made space in his garage for overnight storage, which we greatly appreciated. The area is densely populated and I was delighted that it was very quiet. We never had a problem with the on street parking. We did have to move the car once to accommodate the street sweepers.

Absolutely beautiful place inside and out, great kitchen and amenities for cooking. It’s a very romantic setting and looks true to photos, perhaps even better. Would definitely recommend.

This property is very unique, beautiful grounds, perfect location, lovely covered porch and antiques to enjoy. But for a 60+ couple is was too difficult to manuver the 2 flights of steep stairs for 11 days, hoping for on the street parking nearby each day especially on street cleaning days, the lighting is extremely poor throughout the unit, had an old museum smell with no window screens to open up for a breeze and was expecting a few more updates. The manager accommodated us by providing more towels. Could be a nice experience for a younger couple for just a few days!
