Dana Point Regulations
Dana Point allows STRs with a clear permit pathway and standard operational rules, making it fundamentally investor‑friendly. However, caps (115 total permits; 60 for non‑primary outside the coastal zone), a coastal HOA approval requirement, and active enforcement introduce moderate barriers that must be managed, but do not deter investment.

About Dana Point
Dana Point () is a city located in southern Orange County, California, United States. The population was 33,107 at the 2020 census. It has one of the few harbors along the Orange County coast, and with ready access via State Route 1, it is a popular local destination for surfing. The city was named after the headland of Dana Point, which was in turn named after Richard Henry Dana Jr., author of Two Years Before the Mast, which included a description of the area. Dana described the locale, including neighboring San Juan Capistrano, as "the only romantic spot on the coast". This area is designated California Historical Landmark #189.
