The Host was great. Rooms were clean and nice!. Its in a nice quiet area near a golf course. Found shops nearby for shopping and a nice Nigel Donuts/bakery for breakfast and many other places in Dana Point. Host helped us a beach with free parking and we were able to enjoy a couple of days in a nice quiet area in the hills of Laguna Niguel. It is a Condo which part was converted into a VRBO.

Great value. Very peaceful golf course view

A very comfortable and affordable stay adjacent to Laguna Beach. A great outdoor patio overlooking El Niguel Country Club golf course which was a great spot for both morning coffee and winding down with some wine in the evening. Definitely recommend for a great value.

This was a great home base for us. We were able to get out and go to all the local places quickly and easily. Took a bit to find as maps don’t seem to know how to get there. But Aria was super helpful. If you don’t need all the amenities and are just looking for a place to spend the night, clean up and/or take a quick break in the day. This is your place.

Home away from home

What a bargain! The setting is absolutely gorgeous, with breathtaking views right from your suite. You can’t beat the price for two fully furnished, separate rooms. Plenty of street parking nearby.Arya was wonderful—always available and attentive. Check-in was seamless, with clear and detailed instructions for easy self check-in. No gates, no confusion, no need for a guide. Check-out was just as simple—shut the door and leave.The place was peaceful, private, and tranquil. It was also clean, comfortable, and located in a safe, serene neighborhood. After searching through most vacation rentals, this was by far the most affordable option in pricey South Orange County. Plus, there are plenty of restaurants and sightseeing spots nearby.

Liked: Amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The good: two separate sleeping rooms, a must when you have a snorer in the family. Cheaper than two hotel rooms. The operator is also responsive and friendly over text messages. The bad: This is a crudely separated two bedroom, 1 bath carve out from a larger place. The inside door locks only from the inside and does not lock when you are gone. Upon checkin, you will be given explicit instructions not to walk anywhere on the grounds - a major bummer because there are nice walking paths around the golf course that I would have enjoyed. There is also a pool in the complex, but there is no access for that either. I suspect that the HOA and/or city do not permit short term rentals - otherwise I have no explanation for why we were strictly forbidden from enjoying the amenities. The place itself is on the bottom floor so it is dark, dank, and musty. We ran the bathroom fan all day and our towels were still damp. Also, there are security cameras on the porch so a complete lack of privacy in the only area where one could have comfortably sat and enjoyed the view of where they are forbidden to go.
