LOCATION: Dana Point is a city located in southern Orange County, California. It has one of the few harbors along the Orange County coast, and with ready access via State Route 1 (the famous Pacific Coast Highway or PCH). Dana Point and surrounding communities of Laguna Beach and San Clemente are popular local destinations for surfing.

ATTRACTIONS: DANA LIGHT is just up the road from the O.C. Dana Point Harbor and downtown Dana Point. Located towards the northern section of Dana Point, it is just a short 15 minute drive into the beautiful and 'artsy' seaside town of Laguna Beach. It’s also convenient and within a short 15 minute drive (or a 30 minute bike ride for the more adventurous types) from the historic San Juan Capistrano where the Mission San Juan Capistrano and the quaint Los Rios District is surrounded with charming antique shops, restaurants, and art galleries. There’s even a petting zoo for the smaller members in your family!

The city was named after the headland of Dana Point, which was in turn named after Richard Henry Dana, Jr., author of ‘Two Years Before the Mast’, which included a description of the area. Dana described the locale, including neighboring San Juan Capistrano, as "the only romantic spot on the coast". Although Dana described the anchorage as poor, it is now a developed harbor and contains a replica of his ship, the Pilgrim. The Pilgrim is used as a classroom by the Ocean Institute, which is located at the harbor.

Come and explore Dana Point at DANA LIGHT! We look forward to having you as our Guests!

The perfect home in a fabulous location

This beautiful home suited the needs of our family perfectly. I can’t say enough good things about it! The decor is lovely, the furniture and beds are super comfortable, the bathrooms are beautifully upgraded, and the well-designed kitchen is fully stocked with everything a family could need. The outside is completely private, with lots of places to enjoy sun or shade. The community pool is just steps away and we used the hot tub at least once a day.There are lots of things to see and do in Dana Point and the surrounding area. We walked and hiked for hours, explored beaches and other nearby communities, went on whale and dolphin expeditions, rode ferries, went parasailing and biking, watched sunsets, and ate at some great restaurants. The attractions in Anaheim and LA are easy to get to and are less than an hour away.In short, our time here was one of our best family vacations ever and, if we could, we’d live in Dana Point in this very house! A heart-felt Thank You to the owners for sharing their home with us.

Great stay in family friendly home

We enjoyed our beach trip and would stay at this location again. The house was well equipped with towels, kid books and beach toys/equipment. The neighborhoods is friendly, quiet, and safe and we loved using the pool/hot tub. The toilet was running in one of the bathrooms requiring us to lift with lid each time to stop the water flow and the AC did not work (House reached 82 though set at 74). We were able to cool the house down at night using the many screen doors and windows, but the property management never returned our calls using regarding the issues.

Great place for families

This is the second year in a row we've rented this property, and it's the best place we've rented in Dana Point. Clean, spacious inside, with comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen, great outdoor space that is enclosed (piece of mind for those with small children), and a good location close to stores, downtown area, and the beach. Definitely recommend.

Top Stay

We descended upon Dana Light for my niece’s wedding in nearby San Clemente and found this gem of a property online. Extremely spacious, very well appointed and ideally located in a lovely gated community near to all local amenities. We cannot talk too highly of the property and would have no hesitation in recommending to others visiting the area. Would love to stay again should we revisit this beautiful part of Southern California.

Beach Vacation

Condo was spacious and clean, had everything we needed. Yard was beautiful and private for sitting outdoors and enjoying the ocean air. I would not consider this residence is walking distance to beach. It is quite a ways! My daughter and I walked 2 mornings to the closest beach where you can swim and it was a 2 mile walk down then another 2 mile walk uphill to return. That is not practical to carry a beach chair and ice chest and spend a few hours, however, it was a lovely morning walk and we were able hit Starbucks on PCH and Dana Point Harbor for morning coffee on our way back.

The home was inviting and comfy. Plenty of room to spread out and not feel on top of each other. Nice tranquil yard. Beautiful set up and centrally located to places we enjoyed (the beach, Laguna, shopping). Gated community, tennis courts, pool, hot tub. Grocery store within 2 miles of location. Traffic was minimal. Definitely will VRBO this location in the future!

A Wonderful place to stay!

This house was perfect for the four of us (my husband and I, and daughter+wife). Beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you would need. Spacious and clean, AND outdoor spaces to have an evening sit around the fire pit (in the front), or a dinner for four in the back. The pool and hot tub were amazing and only a short walk away from the house. I love how all the doors open with screens to create fresh air from all directions. Close to everything, and a healthy walk to the beach areas. I would highly recommend! Really great communication with the owner! Thanks, Jeff. C Schindler

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property.

I always worry a little before I get to a property I have only seen pictures of we were all pleased with this property. It had plenty of room for everyone to have privacy everyone we met were all very nice. The pool location was great to this particular property. A little far to walk to the beach. Would definitely recommend this property to others. I was more familiar with Laguna Beach and Newport but all are easy access to go roam around. I would rate the property itself a 5 star but being just a tad further from the beach is why I gave it a 4
