About this house rental
Pelican’s Perch is ideally located in the heart of Dana Point’s historic Lantern District and walking distance from restaurants, shops, beaches and the harbor. On the ocean side of Pacific Coast Highway, you are only minutes walking to the harbor or one of five beaches. Take your pick of restaurants at every price point on Del Prado, only a block away. Stroll through the historic Santa Clara neighborhood, where Pelican’s Perch is located, and see historic 1920’s homes sit side by side with modern beauties and enjoy overlooks and parks at the end of every street with gorgeous views of the harbor and ocean.
This second floor duplex guesthouse is accessible by stairs only and was newly constructed in 2023. The unit boasts an open plan living, dining and full kitchen, private patio/balcony, 2 bedrooms and one uniquely designed bathroom with separated toilet and shower compartments to allow multiple users while maintaining privacy. The professionally designed décor sets the mood for your luxuriously casual coastal getaway. The first bedroom has a king bed, two dressers, closet and a bench. The second bedroom can be set up with two twins or a king bed to suit your needs and also has two dressers, a closet and bench.
Common areas provide a grassy lawn, fire pit and outdoor kitchen with gas barbeque grill and electric smoker. Fruit trees and fresh herbs are shared when in season.
The unit also provides a one-car garage space and one additional on-site parking space.
Whether you enjoy water sports, whale watching and hiking; are a history buff or art lover; or love the night life, Dana Point will satisfy you. Located halfway between the amusement parks, art galleries and museums of Los Angeles and the parks, waterfronts and zoos of San Diego, Pelican’s Perch is the perfect destination for your Southern California adventure.

Didn’t want to leave this review because I wanted to keep this gem all to myself!!!! But Rick and Cindy deserve better than that! This was the most incredible rental I’ve ever stayed in. Such amazing, kind hosts. Everything was so intentional and thought through. Perfect location. Counting down the days until we can come back!!!

Rick and Cindy were exceptional hosts. We were greeted with fresh flowers in the bathroom and on the patio table, and even found a delicious slice of Rick’s homemade carrot cake waiting for us in the fridge. They truly went above and beyond—providing boogie boards, beach towels, and even offering all the fixings for s’mores on our last night.The home itself was immaculate—beautifully decorated, thoughtfully stocked, and spotless. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The convenience of having both a garage parking spot and an uncovered space was a huge plus in a busy area like Dana Point.The nearby hardware store came in handy, too—we were able to quickly grab a few last-minute items my son needed for ocean camp.We highly recommend this stay and will absolutely return the next time we’re in Dana Point. Thank you again, Rick and Cindy, for such a memorable visit!

The pictures are accurate. This is a wonderful place above 4 garages whose doors are soundless. We never heard the doors go up or down and we were there for a week. Lots of care and nice little details went into this rental. It had everything you could possibly need. Great kitchen, indoor and outdoor tables for meals, lots of towels and beach stuff in the garage. It was well maintained, clean and fresh and, best of all, close to everything. The owners made us feel so welcome but were not intrusive. They left us flowers in the kitchen and bathroom and a welcome surprise. We loved staying here and will return!
