Stayed Sep 23, 2025This home was amazing and the owners very friendly and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and spa with user friendly operation software, fully stocked kitchen with so many extras beyond your typical b&b, and the creative Italian design elements. The backyard is very private with beautiful landscaping and so many hummingbirds and butterflies. The fountain sets the tone for a peaceful retreat. So close to the beach and restaurants- and the owners even give eatery and other area recommendations. Would book again!

Stayed Apr 30, 2025From the moment we arrived at Villa Catalia,we realised this was not your typical Holiday let, more of a home from home, clean and tidy with lots of little touches to welcome guests.Shelly and Mark have provided pretty much everything needed to make theirs guests stay a comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable one.Travelling from the UK visiting family in Dana Point for many years this was the first time we have rented a property, it was so nice to have somewhere to relax, enjoy the sun and entertain family.The house is very well presented, comfortable beds and bedrooms, lovely bathrooms and ensuites, the kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to entertain, with a lovely breakfast bar, dining room and lounge area.The outside space and garden area is lovely for dining alfresco on the patio surrounded by the scent of the roses, the pool and spa on the upper level of the garden was amazing with pool toys provided.We did not get the opportunity to take up the offer of a cruise on their 'baby yacht' this trip, but there will be other opportunities when we are back in Dana PointEverything was exactly as described, Shelly and Mark were wonderful hosts, we always knew that they were at the end of the phone should we need them and nothing was too much trouble, we really did not want to leave. Thankyou Shelly and Mark.

Stayed Apr 23, 2025The property was meticulously clean, well appointed with everything you could need, beautiful and very comfortable! We stayed here for our son’s wedding. We had 8 adults in our party and it was very comfortable. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and a perfect backdrop for some lovely pictures. We hosted some friends and family for a small gathering on the back patio that was a big hit. Everyone commented on what a great house it was. We could have been happier and would highly recommend this place. You can’t go wrong with the house and the host!

Stayed Dec 4, 2024House and hosts (Mark and Shelly) were excellent. The house was so well stocked and equipped. On day two of our stay our 4 year old granddaughter discovered the den closet - full of games, toys and puzzles - entertained her for hours. Beach toys and chairs in garage. Beds were comfortable. The backyard was amazing. Such a wonderful space to relax. Beautiful pool and hot tub. Hosts were readily available to answer questions. My husband arrived to the home prior to the rest of the family. He had a question on how something operated. Mark was in the neighborhood and popped over. Fantastic service. The house was a short walk to grocery stores (Ralphs, Stater Bros. and Trader Joes) and CSVs plus restaurants. Mark and Shelly provided a list of restaurants in the area - we tried a few - all excellent.The hosts have a mini-yacht that is available at a reduced rate to guests of the house. Highly recommend. We took the opportunity to do a cruise in the late afternoon to see the sunset and then the Christmas lights from the ocean. Mark was a great captain. Very pleasant and provided us with information on the area. House is short drive to downtown Dana Point and the beach. We enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave.Mark and Shelly truly want their guests to enjoy their home and area. We sure did. If you are considering renting this house - DO IT!

Stayed Aug 5, 2024This was the perfect backdrop to an awesome vacation! Lots of space for us, our young kids and my parents to spread out, both inside and out. We love to cook and this kitchen had more to offer than we do at home! Communication and responsiveness of host was second to none. There was truly not a single thing we wished we’d had while there. Location was perfect, neighbors were quiet, it was truly an escape. Hardest part was leaving.

Stayed Mar 1, 2024Not very often do you check into a rental property ( even a monthlong one ) and have both the indoor and outside of the property be even better than the pictures but this one is ! The home is comfortably furnished , beautifully decorated and fully stocked for all your needs . The owners have gone to great lengths to think of and satisfy all your needs for a feel at home stay ! The kitchen is fully stocked and looks out on the beautiful backyard , spacious laundry room off the kitchen , 3 bedrooms and 2full baths on 1st floor . The 2nd floor has 3 balcony's ( 2 with ocean views ) and a wonderful very large sitting room ( with a trundle bed and desk to work if need be ). The spacious master looks out over the stunning backyard and has a beautiful en suite bathroom and a large walk in closet . Can’t wait to come back and visit . Communication 5 star . Look no further your dream vacation begins and ends here .

Stayed Dec 22, 2023Great stay at this house over Christmas 2023. Owners even put up Christmas decorations including a nice tree. Pool and hot tub were easy and quick to heat up, spaces were nice. Easy access to beach and to family in Orange County. Truly a mediterranean vibe.
