How to Be a Good Short-Term Neighbor in Dana Point
Welcome to Dana Point
Dana Point is a world class destination and is known for its warm welcome of visitors while on vacation. We are pleased that you have chosen to spend your vacation in our City and hope you enjoy your time in town.
Like many of our visitors, you have decided to rent a house or room for your own unique experience. The greatest benefit of this choice is the experience you will gain staying in one of our beautiful residential neighborhoods. You are among permanent residents who value the look and feel of a quiet and safe place to live. They, and the City, need your help in preserving that peace and quiet. Being a vacation renter also means being a good neighbor.
BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR
We understand you are on vacation and here to relax, but please do not create excessive noise or engage in disorderly conduct. Consider how you would want your neighbors to behave in your own neighborhood back home. A little consideration goes a long way to ensure that the neighborhood remains safe and quiet. We ask you to please observe the following City of Dana Point Rules and Regulations for Vacation Rentals.
Noise
Be respectful of your neighbors. No outside noise from the short-term rental shall be heard during the quite hours of 10:00 P.M to 7:00 A.M.
Parking
A maximum of two parking spaces are allowed per unit unless additional parking is approved by the City. Please utilize the driveway and/or garage parking prior to utilizing spots on the street.
Visitors
The maximum overnight occupancy shall be limited to two persons per bedroom plus two additional persons within the unit. Daytime maximum occupancy is 2.5 times the overnight occupancy but not to exceed 20 people. Please abide by the occupancy limits during your stay. More restrictive limitations can be imposed by the property owner.
Trash
Trash shall not be left stored where it is visible from the street and sidewalk. The owner of the short-term rental shall provide sufficient trash containers and will take the trash and recycling to the curb.
REMINDERS
Please keep in mind that you may be cited or fined by the City for creating a disturbance. The surrounding neighbors have been given a 24-hour hotline to report a complaint in an effort to ensure that the neighborhood is kept quiet and peaceful. The owner or agent for the rental will be able to answer any questions concerning these rules and regulations. We hope you enjoy your stay in beautiful Dana Point!
