Castle By The Sea - Dana Point - Permit #16-0537

Great location within easy distance to restaurants, shops and the beach. The house was well kept, nicely designed and clean. Cary was a considerate host, checking in with us about our arrival time and available to assist. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with items you might need. Really appreciated the quality of toiletries.

Excellent location in a residential setting for accessing the beauty and commercial resources of Dana Point. Very quiet for sleep and home time. Host easy to reach and attentive. Beds comfortable and upstairs shower nicely updated. Kitchen well-stocked. A lesser drawback feom our perspective was that the House needs a thorough cleaning,including floors, window spiders, carpet shampoo needed, rugs in bathroom (washed ourselves), some dirty pans in cupboard. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would be pleased to have the opportunity to rent the location again.

Cary was an excellent communicator and responded very quickly to all questions.

The Castle by the Sea in Dana Point was a perfect choice for our family group of 5 while attending a wedding in San Juan Capistrano. The neighborhood is super charming, each house makes full use of their steep lots and the result is a series of decks ascending up the hill behind the houses. We had a lot of fun trying them all out. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a nicely kitted out kitchen. The decor I would describe as "favorite great uncle's house" with big dark comfy furniture, antique lithographs of steamships on the Mississippi River, some old family photos nicely framed, and a cupboard fully of history books. Cary was an excellent host. We encountered one issue during our stay when the speaker system started playing country music although none of us was connected. He was by in under 5 minutes to turn it off. Thanks for sharing your house, we enjoyed it immensely.
