| Villa Tortuga is paradise! Perfect location across from the most beautiful beach! We loved our week at your lovely condo and hope to come back soon. Gus has every detail covered and makes your stay perfect. From shampoo to beach toys and boogie boards to amazing sunsets from the porch, this place has it all! |

| We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Tortuga! Everything we needed and more was provided - from beach toys to shampoo to condiments. The condo was immaculate and beautiful. The location was perfect. We spent time at all of the beaches, San Diego and Hollywood. Our family was so comfortable we truly did not want to leave. We'll be back next year! |

We loved our stay! The condo is so convenient to the beach, restaurants and shopping - and it's a beautiful unit! We're already talking about when we can come back. The kids especially just loved it.

| Wow! What an amazing find! After scouring the Internet for weeks, we found Villa Tortuga. Look no further. You will appreciate every comfort and luxury detail. We even visited other beaches and found the condo situated on the best stretch. Gus has thought of everything. We look forward to visiting again. |

| Our family enjoyed a week at Villa Tortuga in April. There was plenty of room for the four of us and it was a good base for touring the local area from. The view of the ocean was amazing and Dana Point is definiely a place we wish to visit again one day. |

| We stayed in Villa Tortuga for two weeks in July/Aug 2008. It is a wonderful place. We are already working out how we get back. Gus provides everything that you could possibly need for an up-market, beach front holiday in a spotless and chic apartment. We loved the 2 terraces, particularly the one overlooking the pool - perfect for an early evening glass of wine while the kids stayed in the pool! as to the master bedroom, if I could I would quite happily transport it back here to Dublin- simply lovely. Great touches- a fanstastic sound system, loads of DVD's for kids and adults, all the beach furniture you could need (or transport)...I could go on........ |

| This is certainly a luxurious condo with excellent facilities. With the swimming pool next to the condo and the beach across the road driving can also be kept to a minimum if desired. I would definitely recommend this accomodation, you will not be disappointed. |

| We stayed at Villa Tortuga at the end of May 2008. We had a wonderful time and really appreciated all of the amenities. My favorite beach in the area is located within walking distance of the condo. The condo itself had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked with appliances and cookware, the rooms were beautifully decorated (my daughter loved the kids' room), and the master was beautiful with a large bathroom w/multi-head shower (great for cleaning the kids after the beach). We would love to come back next summer! |

We had the pleasure of staying at Villa Tortuga, the place is beautiful decorated, has absolutely everything you need!(you feel like your at home)
Centrally located, you can hit the beach everyday or go 35 min to Disneyland, 10 min. to Lagunal Nigel. There is no doubt we will be returning.
Thanks for a great vacation.

Thank you Gus for a Delightful stay in Dana Point. Your condo is exceptionally beautiful and perfect for my family (with 3 young boys!) to enjoy themselves in. A short walk to the beach and even shorter to the pool! We did not lack for any amenity and availed ourselves of your "concierge". Thank you again,

Absolutely top-notch!
Every amenity we could have asked for - AND - an ocean view from the porch.
Very comfortable mattresses and elegant decor. Well supplied for cooking in.
Housed five adults very comfortably! |

This is the ideal place to stay for families. I’m a travel writer specializing in family holidays and always looking for family-friendly places to write about and recommend, and they don’t come much better than Villa Tortuga! So much thought and care has gone into providing not only a beautiful and well maintained property, but the facilities and amenities were perfect with everything you and your family could possible require provided.
The location of the property is also perfect for either spending time in the pool located just outside your window, at the beach just a short walk down a well maintained walkway, or to visit any of the many family attractions in the area. If you can drag yourself away from the Condo, it’s just a short drive to get to Disney, the Queen Mary and Aquarium of the Pacific, Legoland, Knott’s Berry Farm and Theme Park, San Diego Zoo and Seaworld Adventure Park. Don’t overlook Dana Point itself, it’s a beautiful place down at the harbor and the shops and restaurants are amazing. Gus thinks of everything; you will even find a list of menus in the Condo for many of the restaurants in town, and there’s plenty of them! Your biggest problem will be leaving this paradise, so plan ahead for your next visit!

Our family really enjoyed our stay in August--the weather was beautiful, the ocean was awesome, and we loved the condo. It was not only beautifully decorated, but had so many amenities you don't normally find in a rental unit, including a DVD collection the kids really enjoyed, boogie boards, beach chairs and beach toys. Even the little touches were nice, like coffee and sugar packets and shampoo and conditioner.
We loved the Dana Point area as well. It is beautiful and not as congested and crowded as other areas in Southern California. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

| Villa Tortuga was paradise. The pictures on the website really sold us on the place, and it was even more beautiful in person. My husband, kids and I were thrilled. The place was immaculate, the location was perfect--and relatively quiet amongst the hustle and bustle of the rest of Southern California. Our only regret was that we had to leave so soon! Thank you, Gus--this truly was a memorable vacation. We appreciate that you really cared about our comfort! |

Thanks Gus, we found it...... the place is amazing you certainly paid alot of attention to detail. We arrived around 6:00 last night got all the TV's and stereos running with ease. Thanks for the directions in the welcome book. We grabbed a pizza from stuffedt Pizza found Ralphs grabbed some margaritas and pina coladas then and took a stroll to the beach late night. The kids went crazy, it was the first time they put their feet in an ocean. Megan our 8 year old filled up the tub and threw in some bubbles in and kept on saying this is so cool. Then my wife and I jumped in and relaxed for the night.
There is one problem ..... My wife now wants to remodel our house back in chicago after seeing what you did to your place, she is already spending money on the bathrooms and kitchen. It's great having access to the PC and the view of the pool and ocean is awesome. Well were going to jump in the pool right now and then head down to the beach for some fun in the sun.
Thanks again,

| Beutifully furnished, a real home from home. Attention to detail fantastic, little touches in decor and provisions make huge difference. Having stayed in vacation Condo's all around the US....this is as good as they come. |
