Top South Day Use Beach Hotel Reviews

Capistrano Coast House

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very cute. Beds are very comfortable. The walls are thin! We could hear everything our neighbors were saying and had to sleep with sound machines to drown out the noise but they woke up early and were speaking at full volume. That was the only downside."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Great beach view!"

Magical OceanFront home in Capistrano Beach. All the comforts of home and more!

10/10 Excellent

"The ocean view is the first thing you notice when you walk into this beautiful home—it’s absolutely stunning! The house is comfortable, beautifully appointed, and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The owners truly thought of everything, from beach gear to toys for the kids, which made our stay especially easy and enjoyable.We had such a wonderful time and felt right at home. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we’ve already booked our stay for next summer! That probably says it all. Highly recommend!"

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."

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

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."
