Magnificent beach and oceanfront home in Ritz Cove. Ritz Cove is the only gated community nestled between the Five Star St. Regis and Ritz Carlton Resorts. Use of these amazing hotel restaurants and Spas is available. You may also use the pool, Steam, Spa and Gym at the Ritz Carlton. Ask about this feature!
Five large lovely bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, in a lovely Tuscan home overlooking incredible Salt Creek Beach. Located in the exclusive guard-gated community of Ritz Cove, this home offers privacy, security and beach side peace and tranquility. Walk through your own private beach gate right down the beach path to the sand.
Elevator, family room, living room, office, wine room, media room, mini-gym and subterranean 5 car garage. This home is not pretentious... it is cozy and comfortable with elegant, and classic furnishings. Walk in from the beach and shower in the surfer shower. Wake up watching surfers..... sleep with the windows open listening to the waves.
As you look out to the ocean and watch the surfers, the Ritz Carlton is just up the bluff on your left. You can walk up for lunch, dinner, or cocktails.... If you follow the beach path to the right, you can walk to the Monarch Bay Golf Links course. The course is just around the path and golfers play on an incredible course overlooking the ocean. Continue on the beach path and it curves around to the St. Regis.
You have the ocean at your feet, a lovely grass park, a basketball court, volleyball on the sand, and amenities for jogging, cycling, surfing, swimming, snorkeling and boogie boarding. The Ocean Institute is five minutes away in Dana Point Harbor, and Disneyland is just 35 minutes away.
San Diego lies one hour south and Los Angeles one hour north. You are located on the most beautiful beach in south Orange County that has it all in terms of luxury resorts, space to walk and run, and every water sport desired.
This gated community is considered one of the premier gated communities along the Gold Coast. Home to celebrities and sports stars, you find privacy, tranquility and resort-like beauty at every turn. You are living the perfect beach life, yet you are away from the hustle and bustle of crowded street parking.
Previous tenants say this was the most wonderful, memorable beach vacation of their lives. You can walk up to the Ritz to have a massage, or watch the sunset over a cocktail. You can stroll to the St. Regis for a work out or coffee. Starbucks is just outside the gated entry and down the street.... you can stroll over for a latte, or have lunch in the sidewalk Italian cafe known as Mezzaluna.
Drive down the long private driveway at the end of your day, and enjoy your day in the peaceful Tuscan interior. Open up the sliding glass doors to create an "outside" room. There are no bugs here.... Sleep with your doors and windows wide open and luxuriate in the ocean breezes and fresh air! The home is air conditioned but you will never use it!
The home and huge private yard are perfect for a memorable family events. (No large weddings, sorry!) Also great for corporate gatherings.
You will sleep at night to the sound of the waves on Salt Creek Beach, and wake up to see surfers and dolphins playing in the water. Two times a year you can watch whales spouting from the house. Sailboats, kayaks and yachts float by in the distance.
You will love the architecture of this home. The stonework on the exterior is magnificent, and the interior details are done with refinement and taste.
