Generally Investor friendly
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.
