About this property

On The Sand In Capistrano Bay STR14-0105 & STR14-0133

Ocean front. No Sunday checkouts and no pets. The house is built on the beach, and has 8 bedrooms and 5 baths in a duplex style three story house. Licensed for twenty guests and seven cars. Sleeping for sixteen with a max of four additional guests. No parties with more than 20 people. The House can be split into the sand level rental (3 bdrs, 2ba) and the Upper Two Floors rental (5bdr, 3 ba). Wake up to the water. The sound of the waves at night, and the views are unforgettable. The house is well appointed, but it’s a beach house and it’s not super luxurious.

Weekly only Saturday to Saturday in the summer.

The house is located in a gate-guarded community 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.

Beach Level Rental:

This rental is on the first floor with three bedrooms, and sleeps 6. Two kings and a full. It has a full Kitchen and Dining Table for six. A fireplace is in the living room, and a there is a deck on the sand with a BBQ. A Washer dryer in the garage and linens provided. City of DP Permit: STR14-0133

Upper Two floors Rental:

This rental is on the second and third floors with a spectacular master suite on the third floor. Open your eyes to breaking waves and endless views. Relax, read, exercise, enjoy. Four bedrooms on the second floor are perfect for two families. Each two bedroom set can be closed off and is ideal for adults with children. City of DP Permit: STR14-0105

The host was exceptionally accommodating and accessible when needed. Wonderful family (17 people) vacation filled with fun days and memories that will last a lifetime!The house was clean and well stalked with plenty of towels (bath and beach), the kitchens had everything we needed. There was plenty of space to relax in the house or on the beach. Having the beach right out the door, made for an amazing stay. A destination definitely worth visiting again!

This house was great and the location was phenomenal. We rented both the upper and lower units so we had tons of space and everyone had enough privacy. Having the ocean right off the deck was what sold us on this listing and it did not disappoint. It was very cool to wake up with the sounds of the waves each morning. The owner was very helpful and accommodating and was very good about communicating. The only slight issue we ran into was with the security guards at the gate at first. The owner reacted right away and was able to resolve the issue and then everything was good after that.

My family and I enjoyed this property so much! My kids and grandkids used the upstairs units. Me, and my husband as well as my mom used the main floor. It was perfect! The house was clean and ready to go! The Host, Lee was awesome, started getting some info a couple weeks out so there was never any confusion. Plenty of parking, it’s a gated community so no traffic to contend with. My only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer!

we've stayed at many of the rentals along beach road over the last 5 decades. this listing is comfortable and spacious. there is some older carpet on the second level, but most surfaces have been updated. it is what we expect these beach rentals to be, not perfect but perfectly acceptable. we love this community, being right on the water. it's like no other. lee was easy to work with and very accommodating.

Fantastic week

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was fun! We loved sitting out on the deck and listening to the waves roll in. There was easy ocean access for my kids to body surf or jump waves. The kitchens were well stocked and the house was clean. Lee was great at communicating when it was needed. Thanks for the awesome, relaxing week!!!

We had a great time! Grandchildren loved the beach! It was great to literally walk out onto the deck and have it right there in front of us. Loved the sound of the waves at night. Saw a sea lion and dolphins. Great place for our large family.

Beach house

The location is perfect. However, the house needs a deep clean. There seemed to be some communication problems with the host and the gate that made our check-in process a little difficult but it was figured out.

The host was responsive to our wants and quickly returned all my questions in a timely manner. The house was lovely. We did have a few issues which can be expected. But all were taken care of.

Family Reunion Week at the Beach

Nothing warms my heart more than getting my whole family together. This property was perfect for us (5 total families). Everything was as expected and Lee was amazing to work with if we had any questions. There were no concerns so we didn’t have to deal with anything like that. The house is split up into two units and we used both because we had our whole family and we needed every bit of the space. It worked out perfectly to gather altogether or in smaller groups because of the different spaces that were available. We did a lot of cooking and everything that we needed was provided. Other reviews mentioned the beach access was 2 lots over, but super easy to get to and convenient. I would definitely recommend this property and hopefully we’ll be able to use it again. Thanks Lee.

House is Outstanding!

The house was absolutely beautiful—pictures didn’t do it justice! I appreciated the little touches like dish soap, trash bags, and dishwasher soap being provided. Just a heads-up to bring your own shampoo, soap, toilet paper (only what’s on the roll is provided), and beach towels. Overall, I highly recommend this place! Also, if you have guests, be sure to inform the host, as every car and driver needs to be registered at the guard shack.

About the host

Hosted by Lee Maddocks

Host profile image
Grew up in Capistrano Beach. I collect historical photos of the area.

Why they chose this property

A vision of Edward Doheny from the 1920's, these homes are very special. Each custom house has a personality and a history that you can become a part of. Staying on Beach Road is an experience one is likely to never forget.

What makes this property unique

It is very rare to stay on a secluded beach in Southern California that the world almanac describes as the world's best climate. This beach house is very close to the water, and the sights and sounds are stimulating.
