Family-friendly vacation rentals in Dana Point

This home was beautiful! Plenty of space for the seven of us for our girls' trip. Helen was an excellent host. She was very responsive to any questions we had. The property was well-stocked with towels and linen, and had a washer and dryer in case you needed to do laundry. The backyard is beautiful. Extremely flexible check-in/check-out options. I would definitely stay again.

Three Oaks was a lovely getaway! It was nice being a bit outside of town, very quiet & peaceful. The host was friendly, attentive & very welcoming. The bed was comfortable, something I have a problem with at most hotels I stay in. Will definitely come back on future visits to the area!

This Airbnb is exceptional-it’s extremely clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen is nicely appointed. We loved the hot tub & lush vegetation that surrounds the house. Hope to stay here again for our next Carlsbad trip!

You enter the house, a little uncertain. From the outside, a little underwhelming. You pass through the cosy living room, still a little underwhelming. And THEN, WOW. The pool area, the tennis court, the Vista to the west, the mountains...spectacular, breathtaking, everything as advertised and more. Back in the house, you find a very well stocked kitchen, extremely comfortable bedrooms, a unique "guesthouse" for the Seniors (in our case), and above all...everything in working order. Absolutely no issues! Bravo to our great landlord, who was a super communicator. Overall: our family of 12, across 3 generations, found wonderful places to be together as well as to disperse. A great time was had by all in this Vista Villa wonder!

Great hosts with attention to detail. Good linens, flexible check-in and exactly what we needed for a weekend trip. We especially enjoyed the short walk to restaurants and 7 blocks to the beach. Easy street parking and hosts were attentive but not intrusive.

We enjoyed a lovely stay! Great home in a great location! Thank you! One small thing to note is the view from the front yard/fire pit has changed as homes are being developed in that space.

Such a nice place in a quiet area. Plenty to do within a reasonable distance. Close shops, restaurants and the beach was easy to get to

I was blown away by this Airbnb!! I booked this for me and a large group of friends for my 30th birthday, and it could not have worked out better. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space without feeling cramped, BEAUTIFUL grounds, and the BEST saloon I’ve ever seen (it was better than any of us could have expected). I want to stay again!! Unforgettable weekend.

David and Ginger are good hosts. They allowed us to get in earlier than the stipulated time. We made good their home and the easy access to Long Beach. They were flexible to us in exiting the home so we could wait there instead of the airport. Thank you

Staying at Nancy's place was a fantastic experience for my family, a family of four including two children. The house is beautiful and Nancy was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. The kitchen is very well equipped, the front and back yards are lovely to sit in. The only difficulty we encountered was that we didn't have longer to stay! We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.

Stacey is the best hostess. Her house was so perfect for the 5 of us. We made beautiful memories and had so much fun! She has everything you need and the best part were the horses in the back who were the cutest. There is plenty of fun to do in the house with games and record player. We all felt like we were home...Very cozy and close to casino and Old Towne and lovely wineries. We definitely will be coming back. I have told friends and family they should stay there, as they will have the time of their lives and be so relaxed there! It was a dream come true for me and this house and Stacey made it possible!

Great spot conveniently located near the freeway and downtown Encinitas! Courtney is a great host who communicated quickly and anticipated any needs we would have. The house was clean, cozy, and had ample blankets, towels, dishes, etc. Courtney went the extra mile and decorated for Christmas since we were there for the holidays. Highly recommend this spot!

Wonderful location within walking distance to shops, restaurants, a library, a playground, and beach. We loved heading out on foot to grab coffee and walk to the ocean, or to the beach along the canal which was so close and uncrowded. Great shower, washer and dryer in the unit, kind and responsive hosts. The window a/c units in each bedroom provided nice climate control. We were very comfortable and would’ve liked to have stayed longer. There is some road noise at night from the close proximity to 2nd street, and cars must be moved on Thursday/Friday due to street sweeping, but I was able to find parking a few blocks away on 2nd St, so I would suggest doing that rather than looking in the neighborhoods.

We had a wonderful vacation at Nicole’s home. It was easy instructions on check-in and check-out. We enjoyed the home and truly loved the location. We have family in the area and plan to travel back quite often. We will not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks Nicole!

This Airbnb was our savior. We stayed for two weeks while we were displaced from our Pasadena home due to the Eaton Fire, and I cannot tell you how much we appreciated being in a place that truly felt like a home away from home. The fact that it is sooo dog friendly was a HUGE plus for us, because we evacuated with our little dog. The Airbnb is in a great neighborhood. Beautiful homes, neighbors out walking their dogs, families playing basketball in the alleyway... it felt very safe and welcoming. The Airbnb is also a stone's throw away from a super good restaurant (Ubuntu Café) and Colorado Lagoon, and a short jaunt to Rosie's Dog Beach plus all the great businesses along 2nd street and 4th street. Kate was SUCH a gem of a host. She is extremely responsive and friendly. She also acted quickly when we noticed a few issues in the Airbnb. (Super minor! ie. the entry lightbulb was burned out and something needed a battery replacement.) All in all, I can highly recommend!

Angela’s place was perfect for our girls trip to Newport Beach. Great location, comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen, and nice touches like beers in the fridge. We’ve stayed in many Airbnbs all over the country and this was probably our favorite!

This home is in such a cute neighborhood. it's an older home that has been fixed up and is very charming. We chose not to pay for the pool to be heated, because we were just staying for a few nights and planned to spend most of our time in disneyland...as a result the pool was cold! It was February, so that is not a complaint, our son got out as quick as he got in it. The beds were firm, and everything was very clean. The showers had good water pressure and the plumbing all worked as it should. The driveway was plenty big to park two of our cars, it could have fit a third car if needed. The kitchen had good pans to cook our breakfast, and also was very clean. We did a test walk over to the parks when we first checked in, just to make sure we wouldn't get lost early the next day. It is exactly 1.5 miles to the entrance of either Disneyland or California Adventure. Great place to stay, I would book again next time we're going to Disneyland. Thank you Susy!

Great location!! So close to Disney. You can see the fireworks from the window. Very convenient. Will definitely come back.

The house and yard are beautiful. The kids loved playing in the pool even though it was chilly. It was a wonderful experience and would love to stay there again!!!

We loved everything about our stay! Location,comfort, and had the pleasure of meeting the home owner and he was wonderful! Highly recommend if you are looking for a homey get away with relaxing stay! The bed I. Master was better then the heavenly beds at Westin lol 😂 we will be back!!!

I had a very pleasurable experience staying at John’s! It’s amazing with a big group of people because there are so many rooms with huge couch space where you can hang out depending on the vibe. The place was basically spotless and was equipped with all the essentials. John was responsive and was so helpful with any requests. Would highly recommend staying here!

The house was great, it is in a quiet little neighborhood within walking distance of Disneyland. It’s a charming house, fit us well, and Carmen went above and beyond to make the stay great! She had strollers for kids, ponchos for Disneyland, and even got us an extra pack n play for our kids so we didn’t have to pack any on a flight. She also heated the pool for us before the stay and decorated with some balloons for my wife’s birthday.

We booked this house for a bachelorette party and it was perfect! There were beds for everyone, so no air mattresses or couch sleeping, which everyone was grateful for. The living room ended up being a perfect central area for all of us to hang out and there were three full bathrooms which helped with our large group. The property was beautiful - there are two dirt roads to get in which were a little tricky with the rain that came in but some of us had all wheel drive cars vs four wheel drive and we made it up okay. Overall, this place was great and was exactly what we needed for the weekend!

everything was really amazing. i wrnt on the winter and the onky downside (maybe my bad) was that they have a small jacuzzi but it wasnt on. i had the impresion that it was going to be heated, and never really asked the owner about it. if you want a hot jacuzzi make sure you communicate that with the owner in avdance to see it it is possible.
