Capistrano Beach House | Beachfront Family Vacation Destination - Lasting Memories at the Beach

3 Bedroom House in Capistrano Beach, Dana Point

Charming 2 story beach house. #STR21-1209
This precious gem of a beach cottage offers an outstanding experience in a stand-alone home! That’s right! At the Blue Beach Bungalow, no one is thumping around above you and there's no one to worry about below you. The entire house and property will be your dream home-away-from-home the entire time you are here! Privacy and peace will ease and please you and yours.
Built in 1947, the house was upgraded in the 1960's to accommodate 8 people with an upstairs Master bedroom. Enjoy stunning views up a short stairway to Bedroom #1. There is a large picture window perfect for watching sailboats and sunsets from your comfy, king-size bed. The fresh ocean breeze gently flows through back and side windows. This room boasts a long walk-in closet (large enough for a pack 'n play), shelves full of books and a new 43” flat screen TV with cable & Roku compatibility. Just down the stairs is the Bathroom #1, with a pedestal sink and a bathtub.
The lower level features two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open-concept living room/kitchen area with direct beach access to your own private patio from both the living room and the front bedroom. Bedroom #2 is beach front. It includes a master bed a 43“ flat screen TV with cable & Roku compatibility, a panel closet and a sliding glass door leads right to the beach-front patio. The middle Bedroom #3 has two bunk beds (can sleep up to four) is perfect for youngsters. It has a small 24" flat screen TV with Roku compatibility and a DVD player. It also has a small step in closet and easy access to Bathroom #2 down the hall, which includes a shower.
The entire residence can accommodate up to 8 people. Very comfy open layout. The beach directly in front of the house is your own private beach, not shared with anyone else. A moveable fire pit on the sand allows for cozy evenings. The beach front patio is slightly enclosed from the beach. It's fully furnished, with a BBQ, two patio tables with 14 chairs and umbrellas. Enjoy breathtaking views while entertaining with family and friends. The smaller, street side, secluded back patio has a lime tree where, when in season, you can use to garnish your cocktails; great for having coffee in the morning.
The exclusive gated community of Beach Road provides privacy and seclusion not commonly associated with beach-front property. Beach Road in Dana Point, California has the distinct advantage of sitting directly on the beach with the famous Pacific Coast Highway and breathtaking Amtrak Pacific Surfliner train that runs behind the house. Trains usually go by a few times a night and throughout the day. Guests typically say they hardly ever notice it.
Other amenities include:
Soft sand off the patio (many Beach Rod houses don't have this)
Sand Volleyball Court *depending on sand conditions- high tides washed away part of the post in October 2017 - we are waiting for natural sand replenishment this winter
3 parking spots directly behind plus an enclosed, locking garage
Full-size washer and dryer
Gas Fireplace
USB chargers in all bedrooms
Working fishing poles and tackle
Two 7 speed adult beach cruisers bicycles
Two children's bicycles
4 person bicycle surrey
Boogie boards
Children's sand toys
Pack 'n Play
WiFi compatibly
California State Parks Pass (allows access to San Ononfre and Doheny State Beaches) - must be left in the house upon departure
Easy Access to the Freeway
Relax, surf, SUP, play golf, ride bicycles or run along the coastal bike path that runs parallel to Coast Highway in the back of the house; North towards Dana Point and Laguna Beach or south to San Clemente... all the way the San Diego County Line. Walk the beach, gaze at brilliant starlit skies, or just sit on the patio. Watch the pelicans and sea birds soar just above the water line while dolphins and an occasional sea lion swim off shore. It will be hard not to feel the lost romance of the Southern California Riviera sipping a cocktail on your private beach while watching the sunset over the ocean and listening to the pounding of the waves. No shirts, not shoes, no problem!
Enjoy all the great restaurants in Dana Point and San Clemente. Privacy and seclusion. Security of a gate-guarded community Beach front right on the sand with unparalleled views of Catalina Island from the San Clemente Pier to the Dana Point Headlands. 30 minutes from Orange County Airport, 1 hour from either LAX or San Diego airport.
Enjoy all of our famous theme-parks such as Disneyland (35min), Knott's Berry Farm(45 min), Legoland (35 min), San Diego Zoo and Sea World (65 min) Learning experiences at nearby San Juan Capistrano Mission, Dana Point Harbor Ocean Institute, whale and dolphin-watching. Beach equipment and bike rentals are located nearby in both San Clemente and Dana Point. Dana Point is home to Doheny State Beach and the harbor offers kayak and boat rentals, fishing and whale watching excursions, dining, shopping, sightseeing, as well as Catalina Island cruises. San Clemente offers great shopping down Del Mar to the Pier as well as the new Outlets at San Clemente, featuring over more than 50 stores.
House Rules:
We apologize but we do not accept pets.
The Blue Beach Cottage is located in a quiet beachfront residential community. If you are looking for a quiet retreat to enjoy with family or friends this would be the perfect vacation getaway; great for young children. The beach directly in front of the house is yours!
*The Capistrano Beach is subject to smooth river rocks, which flow down from San Juan Creek. They move up and down the beach with the tides. Occasionally, they move right in front of our beach, but they usually wash away the within a few days. In the past few months, storm surge has washed a great deal of sand from our beach. Thankfully, we have installed a barrier wall to keep sand up near out patio. From there, it is possible to access down a set of stairs to get down to the shore. It's been rocky as of late, so low tide is always best for water play. It's a product of mother nature! We really don't have much say on what the ocean does to our beach.
The entire property is non-smoking. We ask guests who smoke to please do so away from the house.

Also, tons of beach toys, firepit, bbq, bikes, etc… Location is right between San Clemente and Dana Point. Easy parking right in front. The host lives next door and is available if you need anything, very nice and friendly.

Summary: Great spot right on the sand. Couldn't ask for a better location . Our hosts were attentive and very nice people. The home is an older beach bungalow style and we love that vibe. We look forward to returning!

Summary: We had a fantastic stay at this beach house! The place was very well stocked with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to beach gear. The views were absolutely stunning. The hospitality was top-notch too; the hosts were welcoming and made sure we felt right at home. Nancy was right next door and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend for a relaxing, family beach getaway!

Summary: Six friends and I came to Dana Point for the Ohana Festival and were thrilled to find this gem of a beach cottage! It’s clean and has so much room. The patio and beach area is beautiful. The owner went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed being here! Don’t think a second more - just book it!

Summary: We had an amazing stay in this beachfront cottage! The owners were responsive and communicative at all times for questions. They graciously allowed us to stage a small elopement ceremony on the beach directly in the sand in front of the property. With a photographer and officiant, we were 7 people total. It was perfect! The cottage is cute, clean and comfortable. It is an older property on the ocean, so it has vintage vibes and “character” as well as modern amenities. They provide anything you could possibly need! Instructions were clear. Loved the quiet and safe community. Thank you to Nancy and Dave for being wonderful to work with. We want to return for all our wedding anniversaries! I wish I could post photos of our amazing ceremony and beach photo shoot here, we have had so many friends and family asking how we scored such an awesome location!!

Summary: We had the best relaxing time! The house was great for our family of 8. It is a little dated inside but we spent so much time enjoying the beach. The owner Nancy lives next door she was very sweet and helpful. The dishwasher was broken when we got there and she had it replaced with a new one the next day. The house is very well stocked with everything you’d need. Plenty of kitchen things and tons of towels, beach towels and beach toys. The garage is full of bikes and being a gated community there is very little traffic so it’s very safe for riding. There is a train track that runs behind the home, you can hear it but it’s not bothersome at all. All of the sand in the yard was replaced while we were there and it’s very soft to walk on and play in. If we’re ever in the area again we would definitely consider staying here. Thanks for the great time!
