Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Dana Point

The best staycation (4 nights, 5 days without travelling on a plane or driving forever) we ever experienced. From the email and text communication from the Airbnb host Mo and Vanessa to the welcome basket (wine, personal toiletries, local magazine), the clean and tasteful property, the extra thoughtful touches like the bougie boards, chairs, and toys for the beach, and the great local recommendations. We want to return again and again and make this a tradition. We left their home refreshed, peaceful, and happy because of all the hospitality and love. THANK YOU BOTH for going beyond!

Roadrunner Ranch was a magical place to stay. Great communication from Rob and a lovely home that matched the description. We were not disappointed.

What a wonderful Airbnb experience! The bungalow was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. We especially loved taking advantage of the outdoor amenities, including the cold plunge, sauna and hot tub. The outdoor space was perfectly tranquil. Our daughter and dog loved playing in the yard. The proximity to downtown Carlsbad was a huge plus. We were very happy with our stay!

Great host. Nice place by the beach

For a big group of people this place was certainly a better option than getting 4 hotel rooms. The house itself is pretty typical for the Laguna hills area so it’s a nice well off place.

Diane was an ideal host. Great communicator and very responsive. The place was located close to the beach and walkable to restaurants in town. The second floor ocean view spotless place was spacious with plenty of natural light and privacy.

This stay was absolutely perfect for our needs! We really appreciated the thoughtful touches like child-friendly plates, utensils, and even some toys and games for our little ones — it made a big difference. The host was incredibly responsive and flexible, which made everything so smooth. The kitchen was very well stocked with spices, cookware, and essentials, making it easy to settle in and feel right at home. Would definitely stay again!

One of the nicest Air BnB's that we've rented! Had everything in the house we needed. Secure in gated property. 3 cute donkeys that came and greeted us when we walked up to their gate. Peaceful views from deck, great to drink coffee in the morning and look out on the rolling hills.

Casey is an amazingly good business man! He was extremely communicative, professional, friendly, empathetic and responsive. Literally the ideal host. The location is wildly perfect for a recharging getaway that’s near strip malls. The home is very close to Ventura Rd. and near freeways so relatively quickly to get to destinations. Inside the home, the view over the city is spectacular. The place was roomy and relaxing. There is great space for entertaining and hanging with family. Casey made the stay nice. Would certainly recommend it for anyone considering a stay in LA.

This was a perfect location for us as we helped move our daughter out of UCI. We loved being able to walk to yummy eats at diamond jamboree and run along the path. The place itself is clean and spacious and just as described. We would not hesitate to stay here again on our future visits. Thanks again!

Sandy was a very friendly, helpful, and proactive host. The property has a lovely patio with jasmine flowers. Everything was clean and tidy and the kitchen was well-equipped. There is a playground steps from the unit and a pool, making it great for young families.

What a great place to stay, i would absolutely recommend this place and the hosts as well. Everything was great. 5 stars all around. Looking forward to coming back.

We had a fantastic time! The property was beautiful. Everything was exactly as described and just like the photos. The gorgeous view was an added surprise. The house is private and very close to everything! Daniel was always quick to respond and very friendly!

Ari’s place is fantastic. I sat out in the patio every morning listening to birds and having coffee. Nice quiet cul de sac. House was exactly as photos represented. Amenities and kitchen and bathrooms were resort level. Great place and I’ll be back! Thanks Ari.

Such a relaxing and comfortable stay! We hope to return for a longer visit. We loved Molly’s casita and just being a short 15 min drive to multiple cute beach towns with plenty to do/eat/see!

This was a wonderful home for our family stay. Tatiana offered a flexible check-in, which was so helpful, and the space had all the amenities we needed – from kitchen essentials to thoughtful touches for kids. She was an excellent communicator and host. The home is also ideally located near the Irvine Spectrum and a short drive to Laguna Beach, making it easy to enjoy both city and coastal activities.

We were lucky to see whales and dolphins migrating through from the apartment. It’s a great location and beautiful apartment. We had a wonderful weekend vacation. Derek is a great and responsive host.

We had such a nice get away at Deanna's home in Dana Point. We stay in the area often and would love to stay there again. It was by far one of the cleanest Airbnb/Vrbo stays we have ever had. It was so quiet and the location was unbeatable. Plenty of walkable restaurants as well as Doheny beach. The back yard was perfect for the dogs and the doggy door made it much easier too. Thank you Deanna!!

Beautiful home with a spectacular backyard with hot tub sauna and fire pit. Beautifully landscaped. Lots of plants inside and out

This was the best airbnb we have ever stayed at. The hosts really care about this house, it is very cozy, beautiful and quiet, there is everything you need, all the things in the house are of excellent quality. We loved the mattress, pillows and bed linen, we even asked where exactly the owner bought them so that we could buy the same. Maria and her husband are wonderful people, very kind, helpful and hospitable. We definitely enjoyed being their guests and feeling at home. The beach, which is 6 minutes away by car, is great for walking and enjoying the sunset, there are many great cafes and shops nearby. The kitchen in the house is equipped with everything you need so that you can easily cook if you want. If I could give 10 stars instead of 5, I definitely would. If you are thinking about renting this house, do not hesitate, you will be very satisfied.

Dan & Britt are very gracious hosts! They were proactive in reaching out to us to make sure we were comfortable and were attentive to our needs throughout our stay. Their Airbnb was better than the photos and my family and I absolutely loved the views it offered as well as the neighborhood of Oceanside. The house itself was very spacious and clean. We had a chance to truly decompress for a couple of days! I would highly recommend a stay here and we plan on going back.

We had a great stay in the most charming home with awesome patios! The house had everything we needed, plus lots more that made our visit fun & effortless. Plenty of room, inside & out, that appealed to all ages - 3 to 73! Robert was quick in responding & anticipating our needs. We hope to be back soon.😁

This airbnb was conveniently located and was as advertised. Place was clean and the check-in process was seamless. Would definitely check out other Wander locations in the future.

Perfect ambience for a couples getaway! Very warm and cozy atmosphere with so many unique and creative touches. An abundance of bird species flying around with the hummingbirds and quail taking center stage. We felt the serenity of isolation but close enough to everything :) Todd was quick to reply with any questions that we had. Highly recommend! We had a wonderful experience.
