Marea Apartments

We had a short term lease, in transition for a new property and it was a wonderful stay. The pool area is like a resort, the office staff was wonderful and very attentive to any issues or requests, the maintenance staff very professional. All around a wonderful place to call home.

If you love never finding a parking spot, or having an assigned parking spot half a mile away from your apartment - then this is place for you!

If you love a combative leasing staff and a dismissive manager that’s even worse

If you love being lied to, overpaying buy hundreds of dollars, then this is the place for you.

If you want to live at a place where when there is a scheduled power outage and they still can’t remember to open the gates leaving you and your family locked inside the... complex for hours - then this is the place for you!

Don’t want your deposit back at the end of your lease? Not to worry - they’ll find a way to keep your money

Don’t be fooled by the nice amenities.

My wife and I have lived in the A3 and B3 units over the last 5 years and we absolutely love it here! Both of these units face the golf course and have incredible views. We moved out a few years back to relocate further north but we decided to move back this year. We returned to a beautifully renovated community with amazing amenities. The leasing staff and maintenance staff are so friendly and responsive. We are so happy that we moved back here!

You too could live in beautiful Dana Point! These luxurious apartments offer recently painted, all original wood that has been decomposing since the 1980’s. The exquisite artwork of the local termites is on display all across the commons. If you don’t mind living in buildings of questionable integrity, dealing with office staff that do not care about your rights or needs, and are willing to pay way over market value for an apartment, then look no further!

NOT newly renovated. The two places I toured were 1. 'half-renovated' 2. 'not renovated' according to the nice blond girl who we toured the place with. Seems like the signs were put there to deceive. The pool area is new and lovely, but the entire place is under construction (roof, paint, balconys, AND entirely new building is being prepped for construction - heavy machinery shook the apartment we toured and the lovely golf course view was undesirable with the noise from the bulldozers. You... couldn't pay me to live here once the nail guns start, no thanks!). I overheard a resident speaking about all the noise. Residents seem pissed. I also saw a cop SUV in the back lot talking to a man. All red flags here. I found better options in Dana Point with the same or nicer amenities at the same price or cheaper too! Just an honest review. Very let down and don't want it to happen to you. Beware. Read More
