Great place to stay -
The condo was clean and sufficiently stocked. A bonus was a full sized washer and dryer. Lots of great places to walk. Being near Dana Point Harbor was a plus! We thoroughly enjoyed our six week stay.

Nice condo, great location!
Mike's place was great. It is spacious and very well located. The parking spot in front of the door was very convenient. The kitchen is well equipped. Mike gave us all the information we needed about the place, the pool area, beach access, and events happening during our stay. We stayed for 1 month and had a great time. Hope to be back next year. Thanks Mike!

About the host

Hosted by Mike

Host profile image
I am the original owner and lived in the condo until my job took me to San Diego. Since then my wife, kids, and I have enjoyed staying there for vacations as well as having other family members stay at our beach getaway. We have had such great memories there that we recently decided to open it up to vacationers so that you can also experience the peace and tranquility of Monarch Beach.

Why they chose this property

I used to drive down from Los Angeles to go surfing at Salt Creek Beach as a teenager. It was so relaxing and I felt like I had traveled to a far off beach in another country. When the complex was built I decided to purchase and move there and my dreams came true!

What makes this property unique

Monarch Beach is the most beautiful and unique beach in Southern California. You will be just steps away from the beach and there are several miles of hiking in the Headlands area. You will enjoy a combination of peace and tranquility along the beaches and bluffs along with the flexibility of going shopping, sight seeing, easy going or fine dining, and a glass of wine at sunset!
