Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Dana Point

Beth’s place is the kind of Airbnb that makes you wonder why you ever stay in hotels. From the jump, she was an awesome host—communicative, thoughtful, and super easy to work with. You can tell she really cares about her guests having a smooth, stress-free stay. Now, the house? Chef’s kiss. Super clean, spacious, and full of good energy. The vibe is calm and cozy, like you’re on a proper vacation—even if you’re just in town for a few days. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and surprisingly central. You’re close to the airport, 15 minutes from the beach, 20 from Disneyland, and still tucked away in your own little oasis. The pool was perfect for lazy mornings or winding down after a day out, and the house had everything I needed to just unpack and live. I didn’t need anything extra—it was all right there. Also, not to be dramatic, but the taco truck around the corner changed my life. I wasn’t even looking for it, just took a walk and BOOM—tacos so good I considered extending my stay.

We went with our elderly parents and two young children. The place was perfect, clean, and accommodating. Really great for little kids, and we didn’t have to bring a high chair or pack and play. Made travel easier on us. Ken was a great host and very responsive. We would love to stay there again in the future.

If you're currently looking for a place to stay in the San Diego area and have kids, stop looking. This is the place to stay! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Carrie's property. Kids Paradise was ideal for our young ones, and thanks to Carrie’s thoughtful preparations, we had everything we needed for a comfortable experience. This made it possible for our children to have a wonderful vacation, while also allowing us parents to relax. I highly recommend this accommodation for families with children of all ages. We look forward to the possibility of staying at one of her other properties in the future.

Shawn’s place was great. Multiple bedrooms with a ton of space. About a 30 minute walk, or a 5 minute drive to downtown Disney. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a lovely and comfortable stay at this Airbnb. The home was clean, cozy, and located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. We especially appreciated how attentive and helpful our host was—always staying in contact and making sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for making our trip even more enjoyable!

Really good space for outdoor eating! The grill was used a lot and the shaded table was a huge bonus. Inside, the house is super clean and spacious. Really nice management team, very quick to respond. High fives all around🙌

Very clean and welcoming place. Had everything we needed and host was very communicative and helpful. they accommodated us very well. 100% would recommend this house to anyone visiting Long Beach.

Great location for us to attend a wedding in Orange. The decorations were really unique, and check-in/check-out were a breeze. Thank you Stan and Anastasiya!

The apartment layout is reasonable, the decoration is comfortable, and it is very convenient to move in and park. The kitchenware is very complete. The apartment is on the second floor and you need to carry your luggage upstairs by yourself. Staying here gives a very homey feeling.

Such a fun and cute place! It’s near so many great things if you want to go out but a private oasis if you feel like staying in.

It was very nice amd cozy, had walkable stores and restaurants (even walked to a restaurants that was nearby) has a very safe environment and had no issues, love to stay again in future

Excellent and well appointed unit. King size bed was great, mattresses comfortable. Large TV in the living room. Kitchen had everything needed. Ground floor with zero steps was nice.

Was perfect for our weekend soccer getaway. Very centrally located to beach, SoCal soccer fields, The Flower Fields at Carlsbad, Upick strawberries at Carlsbad and Windmill Food Hall were some of the attractions we enjoyed. Everything was clean. Could definitely hear the freeway traffic when door was opened but the construction of the home did block out most of the noise. We appreciated the white noise maker that was provided. Would definitely stay again.

Good accommodation for a last minute stay.

My son and I had a great time in L.A. Mieko's home is in a good neighborhood, clean, and accessible to many hotspots we wanted to visit. The home had everything we needed and Mieko checked with me to ensure that everything was adequate. I would definitely recommend this home to travelers!

This place is a real gem - if you’re looking to get away to Catalina for a weekend, this is the spot you want. It’s a cozy space with a comfy bed, great location, and a beautiful patio - what else could you want!

Sharon’s Newport Airbnb was the perfect getaway with stunning views and a comfortable family vibe… perfect for the 6 of us… The beds made for a great night’s rest, and the place had everything we needed. Being able to easily park 2 vehicles was a huge plus. And, place is within walking distance of many conveniences including a deli and pharmacy.

Nicholas’s apartment was the perfect find for my Southwrn California getaway. The apartment was spacious, clean and very comfortable, and the view of the ocean from the pool was just what I had hoped for! A perfect spot to relax during the day and watch the sunset in the evening. Great restaurants and shops in walking distance, free parking, gracious staff - all around perfect!

Great location. Enjoyed our get away and the host was really helpful and responsive.

Cute condo close to everything--the beach, downtown, 10 mins drive to groceries, restaurants, etc. Quiet at night (except my kids--sorry!) and safe to walk around. We took the kids to Legoland two days in a row and it was a 10-15 mins drive. Definitely will be coming back the next time we visit.

Really awesome place to stay for Disneyland! It took about 25 minutes to get to the parks and only 18 minutes on the way home. Super clean and it actually looks like the pictures. The 4 bedroom is in a converted garage, it felt homey though. Perfect for our family and we would stay there again!

Excellent location. Everything was walkable (we walked to the condo with our luggage straight from the ferry terminal). Having the golf cart was so convenient for going off the beaten path or grabbing groceries and hauling them back. Wonderfully responsive host. We will 100% book here again next time we come to Catalina.

Susan was a wonderful host! She was kind and super helpful. The space was clean and the location was perfect our family. We spent our days walking to the beaches, eating at the pier, swimming in the pool, going to LegoLand, and exploring the Flower Fields. We look forward to coming back again!

I can not speak more highly of Brian's hospitality. He was extremely responsive to messages through the app. The place had very thoughtful snacks, and charging cords. The option to rent a golf cart was great!
