We stayed at the Sand Dollar condo for a month. It was truly a wonderful experience and we will definitely return. From the beginning, Todd was a great communicator and responded quickly to inquiries. When had an issue with the door lock, he immediately contacted the handy man, who was there to fix it very soon.
The property itself was perfect! The condo unit was clean, tastefully furnished, with a well equipped kitchen with some spices, and beach chairs and toys. The grounds are also beautiful and the swimming pool offers a nice area to soak up some sun and read a book. The condo is right across the street from the beach (we walked there almost everyday and enjoyed many a sunset), within walking distance to the Lantern District and a short drive to Dana Point Harbor.
The area offers so many things to do--Catalina Island, shopping and eating at the harbor, hikes at Crystal Cove state park north of Laguna Beach, and trips to historic towns of San Juan Capistrano (don't miss touring the old mission) and Old Town in San Diego.
We also took day trips to the beautiful Channel Islands National Park and Joshua Tree National Park.
We didn't want to leave Dana Point and our condo--it was so lovely and relaxing. Everyone was very nice, friendly, and helpful. A great spring get-away for us.
