Summary: Property is as advertised - beautiful and quaint. The deck drops right onto a beautiful beach you can walk early in the morning with a cup of coffee. The roaring of the ocean at night is calming. Dana point was fun for food and day trips, and Laguna beach is close. I would highly recommend Captain Dave’s for a whale and dolphin safari. We were fortunate to see a fin whale, hump back whale and a “stampede” of long nose dolphins.
