Top South Day Use Beach Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"place so clean , staff is very nice ."

Hilton Vacation Club Riviera Beach & Shores

10/10 Excellent

"I read too many reviews on all the websites and got confused … and then went with my gut to stay here and I’m so happy I did!! I’ll be back!"

Hilton Garden Inn Dana Point Doheny Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location & staff"

Best Western Plus Dana Point Inn-by-the-sea

10/10 Excellent

"The property was in good shape for the most part. The patio door would stick probably due to moisture expanding the door. Also, there was some water damage to the bottom of the door frame in the bathroom. I know from my own experience that if the bathroom door frame is not sealed, bugs would love to make a home there with the added moisture from the shower."

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."

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. :-("

Luxurious 3-bed/2-bath Coastal Modern Beach Cottage-AC, Walk to Beach!

LARGE CONTEMPORARY HOME ON THE SAND, HOT TUB, CHEF’S KITCHEN, ENDLESS VIEWS

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t say enough about how beautiful this property is and the attention to detail for any guest’s needs. I hope we have the opportunity to use this property again. The only thing that was missing was beach access but I think that will change in the not too distant future."

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."
