The sound of the Pacific sets the rhythm the moment you arrive. Step onto the oceanfront deck with your morning coffee and watch dolphins trace arcs through the water below - or catch a glimpse of whales passing in the distance. This is Beach Road living at its most unfiltered: salt air, unobstructed ocean views, and the sand just steps from your door.

The home
This entire beachfront home in Dana Point accommodates up to 8 guests across 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The living area invites you to settle in with two sofas, a 60` TV, and a dining table that seats eight - all arranged to keep the coastal view front and center throughout your stay.

Appliances include a refrigerator, freezer, oven, stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, and blender - along with cooking basics, dishes, silverware, wine glasses, a baking sheet, and barbecue utensils. Pull up a chair at the dining table for eight when it`s time to eat.

Outdoor living
Outside, the private patio overlooks the ocean with seating and a BBQ grill ready for alfresco meals. The private hot tub - available all year, open 24 hours - sits right along the waterfront, giving you a front-row view of the sea as you soak. Beach essentials including towels, an umbrella, a beach blanket, and snorkeling gear are on hand for time spent on the sand just beyond the door.

Amenities & comfort
Wifi, an Ethernet connection, and a dedicated workspace in a room with a door keep you connected when needed. A washer and dryer, iron, hangers, and clothing storage take care of practicalities. Heating and ceiling fans help keep the home comfortable. For families, a crib and Pack `n Play/Travel crib are available upon request. Safety amenities include a smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm, fire extinguisher, and first aid kit.

Self check-in is handled via keypad - a door code is issued before arrival, making the process seamless on your end. Free parking on premises accommodates up to four vehicles in the driveway. No street parking is available.

Liked the location/vibe of neighborhood, gated community. Beach private, quiet. Did not like having layout of the bedroom location for privacy of bathroom location. No nice updated description of home amendments/locations of things (like the laundry room), local attractions. One of our guests wants to rent this place for her family stay!

Beachfront Getaway

The private property is right on Capo Beach. The jacuzzi on the deck is feet from ocean waves. It's an older property but is perfectly suited for close family or friends with lots of space to entertain and soak up the sun. Michael's Team (property managers) were outstanding communicators and easy to get a hold of. Wish they ran all the VRBO's.

Best family vacation

Perfect beach front property. Had the best family time and visits from friends. Didn’t feel the need to venture out because playing on the sand was enough. Would definitely visit again and recommend it. Think I would have gotten a better price had I reserved earlier. Only minor issues, no screens on some of the windows, sliding screen door hard to open. Low water pressure in the kitchen.

There were a lot of issues with the place. It’s just old and tired. Had an electrical issue that damaged several of the appliances and washer Property mgrs were a pain, argumentative and tried to say they were new issues when the hot tub person told us he heads the same issues from tenants all of the time.

Beautiful location but no real access to the beach from the house.

The beach has been wearing away on Beach Rd. and sadly what used to be just a step over the wall is now an 8 foot drop. There weren’t any stairs to go down so we attempted to use the neighbors but were quickly told that it’s private property. Other than that the house was pretty great but could use some updates to cabinets and appliances. We have stayed in this same house a few years ago and do enjoy it but wish we would have known about the lack of ease to get down to the beach.

Beautiful Location Poor Accommodations

We stayed at this beach house during Christmas week, and while the location and views were absolutely stunning—definitely deserving of a 5-star rating—the accommodations left much to be desired.To start, the positives: the location is breathtaking, with easy access to the beach and incredible ocean views. It truly is a picturesque setting for a holiday getaway.However, the living space itself felt more like a motel than a premium rental, which was disappointing given the nearly 2,000 per night price tag. Here are a few issues we encountered:Bedding and Towels: We were provided with only one washcloth and one towel per person, which felt insufficient for our length of stay. Additionally, there were no extra blankets available, leaving us to sleep in our warm clothes due to the chilly bedrooms.Bathroom Conditions: The bathrooms and showers had mold, which was quite off-putting. We expected a higher standard of cleanliness for the price we paid.Layout: The layout was inconvenient, requiring us to walk through each bedroom to access the main living space. This lack of privacy was a bit awkward, especially with a larger group.Temperature Control: The primary bedroom had venting issues and was consistently freezing. Hot Water: We found that we had to run the hot water for a long time before it actually got hot, which was quite frustrating. If you decide to rent here, be sure to bring extra towels, washcloths, laundry detergent (only 5 pods were provided), and blankets.

Wonderful

It was wonderful to hear the ocean and it was clean and had a very large gathering room with the kitchen, dining table, and living room all together. Only had a few issues problem. One was that the beach was covered in rocks. Unsure if it was caused by the recent storm or are always there. Two, the ocean is not safe to swim in there with kids due to high waves. But there was a good beach called baby beach that is perfect for kids close by. Three, the layout is very weird and you do have to walk through each other’s rooms, but we didn’t mind. Overall amazing! Loved hearing the waves at night!

Spacious Beach House

The family room/kitchen area was bigger than expected. That was nice for family dinners and board games. The ocean was giving us lots of entertainment with big waves and lots of excitement. The manager was very quick to respond to our questions and respectful of our family time. We had a great experience despite the heatwave. The beds are comfortable and they supplied plenty of fans to keep us cool at night. Great location!! We got lucky with very sandy beaches this time! I hope we can come again.

We spent 2 weekends here this summer. We had Beautiful sunsets, private beach, and Dolphin sitings every day. We loved it. It was perfect for my elderly parents to enjoy the beach since it is no longer possible for them to walk on the sand. They loved being able to enjoy watching the kids play from the deck. The spa is a huge plus as well. Perfect staycation for this OC family.

Location

Great beachfront location, with the waves right off the back patio. Private beachfront with only occasional neighbors walking along shore. Shoreline appears to be eroding with maybe 40-50 feet of sand at low tide up to sea wall at patio. House was clean, just a weird set up and a little dated with no hallway, so you have to walk thru the other bedrooms to get to the master. Common areas were adequate and BBQ worked fine on patio. Would stay again.

Relaxing and Fun!

We have stayed on Beach Road every year for the past 15 years and once again had a wonderful vacation! We swam, surfed, paddle boarded, kayaked, sea glassed, and played lots of games. We saw dolphins from the back porch (as well as a sea lion.) The house is not luxurious but it’s perfect for a relaxing family beach vacation.
