Top Salt Creek Beach Hotel Reviews

• Beach Close 1BR Retreat • Sleeps 4 • Fireplace - Beach Trail Bungalow

10/10 Excellent

"In the past, we have stayed at other rental condos but Beach Trail Bunglow was far and away the best. Very clean, well stocked, and great location. No issues and very relaxing. We would highly recommend it."

Oasis of calm, charm, and comfort in great location near the ocean, resorts

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place for us to stay for a weekend wedding in the area. Host was very responsive. Place was clean and exactly as described. We would stay again. Thank you for your hospitality"

+Front row condo. Steps to sandy beach, sunset, trails. Exclusive Resort+

8/10 Good

"Nice location. Dana Point downtown & beaches a short drive. Best suited for short stays as internet and cell service made communication difficult at times."

Ocean View Laguna Beach Cottage, Private Garden 700ft to 1000 Steps Beach entry

8/10 Good

"We have stayed in this property may times now. The house is always clean and ready for us. The kitchen is complete, so we are able to cook when we want. The balcony off the kitchen has a view of the ocean and we have witnessed many sunsets from there, as well as eating some meals out there. There are plenty of towels to use. There are beach necessities in the garage to use. The host keep up with the needs of the property and the guest. They have been very responsive when we have had an issue. We look forward to returning there in 2027!"

Blue Tide Cottage: Ocean Views, Steps to the Beach, Dining, Shopping + More!

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful first level ocean view across from Strand Beach. Attentive host responded to needs quickly. Very clean environment. Plenty of kitchen items. Recently remodeled. Close to walk to restaurants. Found it to be an excellent choice to stay."

BEAUTIFUL, LUXURY CONDO, GATED WITH WALKING TRAIL TO BEACH!

10/10 Excellent

"As desert dwellers, we were looking for a fairly local place to get a break from the August heat. This condo fit us perfectly. The location to the beach and free summer trolley stop was perfect. We tracked a lot of miles with our daily walks down to Monarch Golf Course, the beach and around the harbor. As daily swimmers, the pool and hot tub were in great shape and so close to the condo. The interior of the home was decorated in a cute beachy fashion. The two king sized beds were comfortable. The large,well-stocked kitchen was great - for what little cooking we actually did. Dana Point experienced a hot/humid weather pattern during our stay and having air conditioning, made life comfortable. Otherwise, if the weather had been cooler, opening the doors allowed for a great cross breeze. Access to a washer and dryer right at the condo was great. We have already been talking about a possible return in the next year."

Walk to, Ritz Carlton, Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach and Salt Creek Beach.

10/10 Excellent

"We’ve been spending part of the summer in the Dana Point area for about eight years, and rented this condo three times. It is, by far, the best property we’ve stayed in. Great location, comfortable furniture and the owner couldn’t be more responsive to our questions. Highly recommended."
