About this property

35679 Beach Road /Exceptional beach / ocean front home

5 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, Sleeps 11

City of Dana Point Permit #STR19-1019

This exclusive 24 hour security gated community of Capistrano Beach. Beach Road, provides privacy and seclusion not commonly associated with beach front property. This is the perfect place to experience the romance and the energy of the ocean without the crowds.

Right on the beach, this home offers plenty of activities, without even leaving the house! You can relax on the well-furnished deck or on the sand. You can swim, surf, or relax in the ocean right in front of the house. Or if you feel like exploring, you can take a walk, or go for a bike ride along the ocean path.

Enjoy a large family barbecue dinner on the deck and watch the sunset and the starlit skies. Bike to Dana Point Harbor, or even read a good book while watching birds dive in the water and dolphins play. All while basking in the sweeping views, soft sounds, and breezes of the magnificent Pacific Ocean.

This 5 bedroom 3 bath nicely furnished home has the great feeling of an open “beach-y” cottage with ocean views from every part of the house.

The spacious great room with floor to ceiling windows and access to the beachfront deck showcases a large living room area with lots of comfortable seating, a fireplace, a large flat screen TV, and a ceiling fan to keep you comfortable day and night.

A modern, well-equipped kitchen right next to the family room has all you need to satisfy your culinary desires - all you need do is add the food and the camaraderie and you are all set. A dining area looking at the ocean completes this “easy living” space downstairs.

The master bedroom boasts a king bed with an en suite bathroom, walk in shower and his and her sinks. Guest room 1 has large open panel windows overlooking the ocean with an en suite bathrooms and a queen bed. Guest Rooms 2 and 3 have queen size beds, while guest room 4 is equipped with a twin bunk bed set as well as a third twin bed. All bed and bathrooms are furnished with premier linens for your ultimate comfort.

There is a washer and dryer for your use and there are non-covered designated parking spaces that can accommodate 4 standard cars to make it easy to get settled in. We know that you will create precious memories of your seaside vacation in this private, seaside retreat.

THINGS WE LOVE ABOUT THIS PROPERTY!

The large well-furnished ocean front deck is great for enjoying sweeping ocean views, sunsets, starlit skies, and lots of ocean wildlife - birds, whales, dolphins too - making it an exquisite seaside experience for everyone.

It is just a short ride to great restaurants in Dana Point and San Clemente as it is between these two seaside communities. It is 30 minutes from the airport and 2 minutes to the train station.

Learning experiences abound at nearby San Juan Capistrano Mission or Dana Point Harbor Ocean Institute. Proximity to famous theme parks such as Disneyland, Knottsberry Farms, SeaWorld and The San Diego Zoo make it easy to create a memorable day’s adventure.

Great Family Getaway

Lovely home right on Capistrano Beach - plenty of room for all 10 of us. Great back porch where you can sit, relax, and enjoy the ocean, or walk down the steps off the porch right onto the beach. Awesome view from the family room and kitchen, and an even better view from the second floor master bedroom. House supplies are well stocked. Also, lots of beach supplies - umbrellas, boogie boards, buckets, plastic shovels. The McNultys are awesome and respond right away to any questions or issues.

Great location for a family with children to walk down the steps to the beach at low tide and enjoy playing in the surf. Listing for the home and photos are accurate. Owned and well maintained by a multi-generation family. Highly recommended.

A thumbs up on this cozy place

Capistrano is a special place. This home is perfect to enjoy those things that make it special. Space and accommodation for cooking, game night, melting into a good movie etc. Our family enjoyed every minute of our stay. The host is awesome. The community is safe and quiet. We’ve been visiting Capistrano for decades and this beach cottage was perfect. Its seaside so there are some rough edges about the house. This is true of any house we’ve stayed in on the beach. All in all, we give it a strong thumbs up. We would absolutely reserve again. A couple of tips:- multiple grocery stores, and even Costco are 5 mins away and easy to get to.- Dana Point harbor has multiple shops, restaurants etc. San Clemente pier is also a solid visit. Both are mins away. - San Clement Farmers market is on Sundays. Cafe Mimosas for breakfast is a must. Also lots of shops and restaurants on Avenida Del Mar. - A visit up the PCH to Laguna is a great way to spend a day. If you find yourself there the Lost Pier Cafe has great food. Their lobster roll is superb.

Great home- literally on the ocean

Check in process was super smooth. The host communicated through the whole thing. Here is a list of pros and cons about this rental: Pros: -On the beach- literal ocean front -Spacious - nice seating options inside and out -The view -Huge windows to take in the view -Private Cons: -Dated bathrooms -Beach not usable at times depending on tide -Train track very close to property can be noisy (one night during our stay in there was beeping from the track from 12-3 am) This was a great house for our family getaway. However, if I were to come back to the area, I would rent a house with a beach that is usable all day.

Family gathering

We had a wonderful family gathering in this home. This was a large, comfortable home for our family of 6 to gather (2 couples and 2 early twenties adults). Great to have 3 bathrooms with showers and plenty of quality towels. The home included multiple gathering areas, including the outside deck. Great to have the nice washer/dryer as well. Owner was extremely prompt in responding to questions. One suggestion: We loved that the light switches were labeled! It would also be helpful to have a book that included instructions in operating some items, such as the ice machine, dishwasher and the living room TV (we could get the regular TV but couldn’t access the apps). For people unfamiliar with the area, having suggestions for restaurants and activities would also be appreciated.

Incredibly appointed kitchen for all kinds of food prep. You do need provide all ur own seasonings, oils, vinegars etc. great to have a keurig. The broken ice machine was a drag so I’d get on that repair! But my goodness the view and proximity to water, the common spaces to hang out, lots of room for everyone easily. Patrick was a great communicator and responsive to our ice needs- a bag of ice showed up right away. Awesome visit for my son’s wedding. Our only true bugaboo was the unpleasant attitude of most of the gate guards. They made it more difficult than it needed to be.

Couldn’t have asked for more

This property is just beautiful and was the perfect place to spend some important time with an ailing loved one. We enjoyed watching the tide move in and out, the beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the water, listening to the waves crash and exploring the beach. Just overall peaceful and serene. We checked in and had everything we needed to not have to leave until checkout time.Would book again in a heartbeat.
