Monthly rentals only. New bath vanities and all new kitchen in March, 2012. Elegant, charming two bedroom holiday rental with CA king bed plus bath. 2nd bedroom has queen bed and bath and patio off bedroom. Located on 2nd floor and peek a boo ocean view. Squeaky clean and light and breezy location. Dana Point which is known as the most romantic city on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, is located exactly mid-way in between LA and San Diego on the ocean side of the Pacific Coast Highway. Great family room with new TV and dinning table for six. This condo has your family name on for your family vacation. You provide the romance, we provide the rest. Walk just steps down a gentle walkway to the finest sandy beach in sunny Southern California, for your outdoor enjoyment. Close to restaurants, galleries and boutiques at the Dana Point Harbour with 2500 yachts. Take the family to Disney Land one day, the San Diego Zoo the next and Universial Studios next.

Best "Beach Nest" in Dana Point
What an amazing July and August in SoCal. Great condo, great weather so close to the ocean on The Strand. Unit has everything you need. Shirley and Rick are great hosts. Stop looking. Rent their Beach Nest.

Love, love, love
We loved our stay at The Nest. It was cozy, very clean and complete with everything we needed. Just a short walk to the beach and into Dana Point. The owners were so attentive and took care of our every need. I would highly recommend this condo and hope to return soon myself.

It really is a home away from home!
I agree with the other renters, it was great staying here at the Nest. We were there for over a month and liked it so much we even looked at places for sale in the community. We'd definitely come back. Even though it was a horrible heat wave during September, while we were there, and there is no ac, it's surprisingly tolerable with all the doors and windows open. We only had two semi rough nights, but understand that was with very odd temperatures of over 98 degrees. It was just my hubby and myself there, so it was a nice quiet time. You will have some neighbors around, but for the most part, they are very respectable and quiet. You do get some odd weekend renters there off and on who aren't used to being quiet and that can be interesting. It helps to use your library voices around there, unless you'd like your neighbors to be part of your conversation. Everyone has their windows open, most of the time. The owners of the Nest are a pleasure to deal with and really keep the place up to their own standards as they also stay their part of the time when not renting out. The place is every bit as lovely as the pictures describe, they keep it very clean and it's a great place for folks like me, that like it hypoallergenic, non-smoking and pet free. I think if you are a respectful and quiet vacationer you will be very happy here. The beach is beautiful and quite a walk down and quite the walk or run up (think steep and long) if you are in very good shape. I walked it, hubby ran it. lol On the weekends from Sept-May you can take the funicular back up the hill from the beach and it does run all summer. Side note: Angelina's is a great pizza place in the area, they are from Italy and make true Italian pizza, right on down to the imported flour, espresso and other items. It's hard to write this review because we want to go back, and it's funny I feel oddly protective of the owners so treat them right! :) They're good folks and they'll treat you right.

Deluxe condo at Dana Point
The Beach Nest is by far the best vacation rental we have stayed in. Its location can't be beat for touring the many attractions in So. Cal. including access to the beach. The condo was immaculate with many upgrades including granite counters, wood floors, high ceilings, and comfortable beds. The owners have thought of everything. Shirley and Rick were a pleasure to work with and were prompt in answering any questions that I had. We look forward to returning to The Beach Nest.
