We had an amazing stay at this property, it was very comfortable, clean and convenient. The private back yard was a great spot to enjoy the morning sun. We had a small toddler with us and the yard was very safe; and enclosed. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, would definitely recommend and hopefully we’ll be back!

Beautiful little apartment duplex. Light colors and style feel very Scandinavian. Bathroom is very small. Accessible for mildly handicapped but not wheelchair friendly. Backyard is wonderful. We really liked the location too. Capo Beach but so close to Dana Point. If traveling with large family you could book both apartments of the duplex. Very well decorated.

Nice Place for Four

The neighborhood is safe and quiet and good for taking walks. To get to the beach, you do need to drive, however. The kitchen is very nice and the beds in the bedrooms are very comfortable. The fold-out sofa bed is impossible, so only four people can stay here comfortably.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our time at the beach was such a treat for us old folks. Out of the many beaches close at hand, we ended up watching Dads teach their young children to surf. Everything is conveniently close to this location. Loved the welcome cookies. Great place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Miriam

Host profile image
We are your hosts, Miriam & Bryan. Our most enjoyable trips have been in vacation homes. We like the ability to cook our own meals, plus it makes traveling more affordable so we can spend money sight seeing and doing other stuff we enjoy. However the one thing we found lacking in many vacation homes was the sense of style and luxury we enjoyed at the nicer hotels and resorts. For this reason we wanted to offer something that combined the best of both worlds. We started the first Capistrano Beach Cottage in 2015. After realizing how much we enjoyed creating memorable vacation experiences for travelers we decided to do it all over again with the second Capistrano Beach Cottage. We created both beach cottages with a 5-star resort in mind. We wanted the decor to be crisp and clean, the linens to be of the same caliber as a luxury hotel, and the patio to feel a zen and tropical vacation club. We truly hope our beach cottage sets the atmosphere of your own private resort. We want our guests to create lasting memories of their California vacation in our home :)

Why they chose this property

Capistrano Beach is an amazing community. This house gives the proximity to the beach while still providing a quiet getaway.

What makes this property unique

We live just two blocks away and always available for our guests.
