Top South Day Use Beach Hotel Reviews

On The Sand, Endless Sunset Views, Perfect 4 Families!

8/10 Good

"House was very clean. Lots of glass to worry about from showers, bathroom sinks to the huge patio door with rotting hinges that looks ready to break off. That was probably the most to worry about. Now you couldn't walk onto the beach like the advertised picture. Oh no!!! That was years ago maybe. Erosion took the beach away. It was private & safe though. Sandbox needs fresh sandbox for children to play in. Not a place for kids but ok for 3 years playing in the sand."

Hilton Garden Inn Dana Point Doheny Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a great location. Previously it was a Marriott. They have redone the pool area and the lobby. The lobby bar is great and the roof top when opened. The food is passable but not great. I always come back for the location across from Doheny camp ground and beach access."

Capistrano Surfside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is an outstanding place to stay! My daughter and I loved every minute of being there. We loved sitting on the balcony and listening to the waves. The bedrooms were so nice. The kitchen was great. Everything was clean, and the suite was so cozy! The staff was fabulous and super accomadating! The only bad thing about this place is that it is popular and hard to book another stay. :-("

Stunning Ocean Front Luxury Home - Sleeps 12

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience! Plenty of room for everyone. We saw sea lions from the master bedroom. There wasn't any beach in front of the house while we were there but just the sound of the sea satisfied us. One night , the smoke alarm started chirping and by the next morning, they were at the property putting a new one up. We will stay here again."
