This home, on what is affectionately called California's Riviera in the exclusive gated community of Beach Road, provides privacy and seclusion not commonly associated with beachfront property. 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 less than 45 miles from the airport and minutes from 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 Farm, SeaWorld, and the San Diego Zoo makes it easy to create a memorable day's adventure.
This 1000 sq. ft. upper-level unit. The primary queen bedroom is accompanied by a second bedroom with two twin beds and two full bathrooms.
THINGS TO KNOW Shared parking The Guest does not have access to the main house backyard. This is a duplex. Both units share parking and beach access. The house is priced appropriately for its current condition as a rental property in the gated beachfront community. The beach area is subject to change due to tidal conditions. Beachfront properties face harsh daily conditions from the salt air and sand, so please make sure you are comfortable with this prior to booking. We cannot guarantee the condition of the sand or the access point to the beach. The Amtrak runs along the active railroad track on the opposite side of Beach Rd and the Pacific Coast Hwy. This home is equipped with exterior surveillance as the local city noise ordinance requires. Due to the moderate coastal climate, this house (like most in the area) does not have air conditioning. This home is located in a quiet neighborhood and is only suitable for quieter groups. Our rental agreement includes a no-tolerance policy regarding excessive noise, occupancy, and/or parties. Deposit forfeitures and/or evictions are strictly enforced. Please make sure you are comfortable with these policies before renting.

Liked: Communication, location
Fantastic area, nice unit. Needs quite a bit of maintenance such as rotting deck railing, rusty microwave, leaking primary toilet and leaking shower door in hall bath. Notified manager who said they will take steps to repair.
Love the gated community. Morning coffee tasted better on the deck looking at the ocean watching for dolphins. The train does go by frequently so if you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs but isn’t a big deal. If you need help with Vacasa I would say call the text messaging is useless.

The TV in the main bedroom isn’t connected to anything. That’s a drag. Disposal doesn’t work.

Home away from home
I was here for a reunion and to see family! It's centrally located and a nice home away from home waking up and going to sleep with the sound of surf!
We had a lovely stay. The property is in a great location with beautiful views. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook. Beds were comfortable. The floors were quite dirty when we checked in but I called the management company and they resolved the issue immediately. We would definitely stay here again.

Wifi did not work and I never received a response from property management to my multiple requests to have it fixed. TV did not work because of no wifi and I couldn’t work from the property.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re very sorry for the frustration this caused, especially when you needed the wifi to work during your stay. Your service request was received by our local team, and they did troubleshoot the router in the lower unit, but the issue ended up being with the modem itself, which has now been fully replaced. We hope we have the chance to welcome you back for a smoother stay.

We loved our stay!
We had the most lovely time- everything you want from a beach rental. We would love to return! There is a loud train that passes relatively frequently, and there is no AC but being right on the water, we couldn’t ask for more. Steps from the water, more than one beach less than 10 min away. Great location, has everything you need for a beach vacation!

Hi David! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had a lovely time and found everything you needed for a perfect beach vacation. It’s great to know you enjoyed the location and proximity to the water and nearby beaches. We appreciate you highlighting the positives of the rental. However, we do want to mention that this home does not have air conditioning, which can be a consideration for some guests, especially during warmer periods. We’re glad that the beachfront location helped to make up for this. Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing our property. We look forward to welcoming you back for another great stay in the future!

Great location.
The location was great and the management company was very responsive. That being said, the furnishings are very worn out and uninviting. The views are good, great location in Dana Point near ocean and amenities but cleanliness and an upscale feel would be more important to us in the future.

The place is as describe. The location is unmatched. The whole time you can hear the waves crushing. No matter where you are in the property. Short Drive from downtown Dana Point and San Clemente. I would love to return!

We highly appreciate your review, Sharon. We apologize that the home was not up to expectations during your stay. We have brought your feedback and private comments to the local operations manager as a means to make the necessary improvements. We hope to exceed your expectations in the future.
This house is as described. The location is beautiful. The house is dated but it didn’t bother us as we expected it from past reviews. Kitchen could use some additional provisions. This was not an issue for us in October but the house does not have A/C. We would stay again but would shop knowing what to expect

Cute place!! But no access to the beach. Not sure what is going on with the beach by the property but the back fence is broken and somewhat unsafe. Filthy floors. If you are planning to cook there in the spacious kitchen plan to not have the tools you will need.
