On the Sand in Capistrano Bay
- Minimum stay:Contact owner
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:Yes
- Wheel chair accessible:No
Ocean front. The house is built on the beach, and step off the porch onto the sand. The sound of the waves at night, and the views are unforgettable.
The house is located on Capistrano Bay, one mile south of Dana Point Harbor. The harbor is an easy walk/bike ride away, and is terrific for restaurants, jet ski rental, fishing trips, whale watching and the catalina express. Dolphin pods frequent the bay in front of the house, and you may be lucky enough to be a part of their day! We are 35 miles south of Disneyland, and 55 miles north of San Diego.

Just returned from a wonderful week in Dana Point. We rented both units for a 50th birthday/family and friends get together. Kids played in the sand and ocean, grandparents stayed inside by the fire place and watched the fun while they stayed cozy warm. All ages in between had fun enjoying the private beach. House was lovely and had lots of nice touches. I found the price to be extremely reasonable for this great locale. My favorite thing to do while we were there was watch for dolphins and sea lions every day. There is also plenty to do within short drive of house. Only wish we could have stayed longer!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.

We rented the upper two levels for a family vacation. There were 4 adults and 8 children -- and we had an incredible time! There was plenty of space and the modern kitchen was well stocked with appliances, pots, pans, dishes, silverware etc. for large groups like ours. The decks are wonderful and have nice outdoor furniture. We loved open windows and listening to the ocean all night. The beach changes daily from rocky to sandy, but so close to the house we had fun to playing in the water and sand. If we were chilly in the evenings, the gas fireplace warmed us quickly. There's a basketball court just a few steps down the beach and we challenged each other to game after game. We visited Disneyland and Seaworld while there. Both were an easy drive. Costco and other stores for supplies are just a mile away. We would love to return to this property again!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

This house was just the getaway we needed. Beautiful views, cozy living space with a fireplace for at night, an easy bike ride to the pier and the shops. This was a great spot to go for a vacation, we couldn't have asked for more. It was a great house for the whole family, everyone had their own space. We all had a great time and spent most of our time outside on the deck and down in the sand!!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, pet owners, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car.

I loved the simplicity of the house. Everything was nicely decorated and not to over done and rather "homey"! We had a wonderful time and love waking up to the beautiful ocean view and having dinner on the deck and watching the sunset! Can't wait to go again.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car.

Jussst Kidding!!! I loved the house... The view was amazing and having the ocean as a front yard was awesome. The rooms were really nice, they all had a different style so everyone was able to pick a room that best suited them. The kitchen and living room were updated, comfortable, and cozy. Both kitchen and media appliances were up to date. Almost every bedroom had a flat screen tv in it with cable which was a good and unexpected feature! The third level room was heaven.. the room was Huge and had Amazing views because the entire room had floor to ceiling windows that wrapped around the entire room. The house, the view, and having the ocean 20 ft away was more than I could have ever imagined and I would 100% recommend this rental house to others. I hope that I can go back soon!!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, pet owners, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, adventure seekers.

Spending 4 days at this beautiful,serene beach house was like a dream! My family & I (9 people)occupied the upstairs,5 bedrooms with plenty of space for everyone. The bedrooms were very clean & nicely decorated.Sleeping with the sound of waves hitting the shore was most peaceful. Our favorite place was just hanging out on the deck,watching the waves,sailboats,birds and most amazing sunsets! We also took advantage of the newly remodeled kitchen,cooking for our crew & BBQ'ing on the deck!My kids spent a few days in Disneyland,only a 30 min drive.Riding our bikes a short distance to the Marina to check out all the cute shops & amazing boats was a fun outing! I have to say this was a great trip,loved the beach house and can't wait to go back! I highly recommend it!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, adventure seekers.

I took my girl friend and her family to the Dana Point house one week ago. The kids went to Disneyland which is only 30 minutes away and had a great time. While they were at Disneyland we just enjoyed the beautiful view from the deck, went on a bike ride, walked the beach and went to the harbour . We found the home to be very clean and updated it was a wonderfull experience!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

We rented the top two floors and the view was breath taking! There was 9 people in our party and not once did we feel cramped or in one anothers way. The kitchen and livingroom is very large with a large tv and a fire place that starts with a flick of a switch. You step out the door and you step right onto the beach. Plenty of room to build a sand castle, play frisbee or just hangout. The property was very clean and well maintained. There's a bike trail and the marina close by. We ate at a family owned restuarant not far from the beach house called Lucy's where we had excellent service and good food.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, pet owners, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, adventure seekers.

My wife and I spent a wonderful weekend at the condo. It is spacious, open and inviting. The view from the deck is postcard picturesque. The sound of the waves hitting the beach will wash away any stress in your body. The kitchen in the unit is outstanding. what a beautiful location.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

We had a fabulous stay in this wonderfully comfortable and spacious home. Access was great and the views amazing. Pelicans and dolphins also love this area and were exciting to watch. We hope to stay again come summer. Thanks Lee PS The ice maker wasn't working but not a huge issueDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2001
About the owner: I am a retired Beach Bum where the biggest decision I make is 'which beach?'
Why the Owner Chose Doheny Beach:
I grew up here, and I just love Capistrano Beach. It is the birthplace of surfing. This section of California is one of the last true surf communities left in the state, and does not have the urban feel or Los Angeles, San Diego or Newport Beach. Come here to relax, be with family, and nurture relationships.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
The weather is fantastic and the walks are terrific.
