Dana Point, CA

Dana Point at Strand Beach opened what some called an elevator but it goes on an incline not up and down and therefore is a funicular. The Dana Point funicular was funished and is now runing people from the parking area down the bluff to the beach.

Dana Point has the new over pass and the renovations of bathrooms as well as the funicular. The city is really making it easier to enjoy the city and the beach.

Recently I attended a function at the board on REO and Short Sales and the hosts invited a guest speaker, Head Loss Mitagator for Bank of America West Coast Division Ivan Cho who started his talk by stating if you are looking to become an REO Agent we are full and not accepting any new agents to list homes with us. This was startling given the news of several REO's on there way and the lifting of the moritorium. Next he went on to say that Bank of America's belief towards borrowers who have defaulted on their loans and are looking to Short Sale their homes the banks position is to recoup losses and have the borrowers share in the banks loss, they are asking that the borrowers sign and or pay monies in order to be released from debts by selling cars or other items and or borrow the money. The banks position is we are not letting these guys off scott free! Well my belief is that banks should be looking at each case individually and not making across the board decisions and that people who tried to modify their loans yet could not should not punished in order to satisfy the bank! The bank here is forgetting all the TARP money they were given and spent on aquiring other institutions or paying off their own debts! Why are we not upset about this as a Country? Why are we letting Banks dictate to us about our own money? It is our savings that were lost not theirs? I am obviously passionate about this and feel as though the reform needs to be at the base or foundation of the problem which always starts with attitude....

I highly recommend a visit to Dana Point Harbor in Dana Point California, after two recent trips, one for business, one for pleasure.

Dana Point Harbor seen from the Chat House Restaurant on the bluff

I enjoy taking day trips from Carlsbad to points of interest nearby, and with the freeways many interesting communities along the coast are but a short drive from Carlsbad. And exploring the other coastal towns brings a greater appreciation for the beauty of the area we live in, and the dramatic coastline.

Dana Point Harbor in Dana Point California is just north of San Clemente at the south end of Orange County, and about 40 miles north of my home in La Costa (south Carlsbad). Less than 40 minutes without heavy traffic.

I am not a boating enthusiast, but Dana Point Harbor is one of the most picturesque harbors I have seen out here on the Left Coast, with 2 marinas. If I DID have a boat (and didn't get seasick) THIS is where I would have it. The tree-lined drive along the harbor with views of boats, the jetty, kayakers and water in many shades of blue is striking on a sunny day.

There are a number of restaurants to enjoy - I ate at The Beach House the other day (there is one in Cardiff California in my area, too, as well as in Laguna Beach to the north), or like some folks you can sit on the grass or one of the benches to enjoy the views and your picnic. There is lots to explore, and the main drag through Dana Point (the coast road) is a short distance away and lined with clothing boutiques, antique shops, home furnishings, eateries, and just about anything else you would expect and hope for in a seaside town.

I also recommend taking the drive up the hill from Dana Point Harbor to take in the spectacular views from the bluffs (you can enjoy dining here as well at The Chart House looking down on Dana Point Harbor and for miles beyond, or at Cannon's). And as a real estate lover, I have a particular fascination for the multi-million dollar Dana Point real estate perched on the cliffs with overlooking Dana Point harbor and the ocean beyond.

Dana Point and the harbor are certainly high on the list of beautiful coastal towns along the Southern California coast, and worthy of a visit in you are in the area. And if you are interested in some of that Dana Point real estate, I can put you in touch with some highly qualifed agents I know in the Orange County real estate market.

Enjoy the tour adn the music.
