The beach cottage is part of a duplex. The cottage featured in this listing is a 3-bedroom and 2-bath (half of the duplex). *[If you're interested in renting the other half of the duplex it is also available for rent, a 2-bedroom/1 bath cottage (VRBO listing 732348). Book both sides for a large family group, which can sleep up to 14 people.]

**Before reading further, please note we have a VERY strict no pet policy. Please do not inquire if you are bringing an animal. No exceptions will be made. We appreciate your understanding.**

**Guest is required to sign our rental contract prior to receiving access to the house.**

This recently remodeled luxurious 3-bedroom and 2-bath home is located just a half a mile from the beautiful beach. To take advantage of all the fun in the sun we offer 6 beach cruisers, surf & boogie boards, a stylish patio, and so much more!

Inspired by the easy breezy feel of beach living and modern luxury, the Capistrano Beach Cottage has been designed with hotel-like appeal while providing a relaxed beach-life atmosphere. Get away from the everyday and escape to luxury right here!

Location, Location, Location! Walk to the beach! The Capistrano Beach Cottage is conveniently located ½ mile (just a 10-minute walk) to the beach, and a few minutes away by car to local grocery, restaurants, and the most breathtaking beaches in all of Southern California.

The beach cottage has been designed to provide you with similar luxuries to a resort-style hotel. The master bedroom features a cozy king bed, and crisp white linens. Open the barn door to the luxurious ensuite bathroom featuring a custom walk-in rain shower, his and hers vanity, and a private restroom. The bathroom comes stocked with spa-style robes and slippers, a one-day supply of hotel-sized toiletries, hair dryer, and other essentials.

The second bedroom features a comfortable queen-sized bed, crisp linens, and plenty of comfortable blankets and pillows. The third bedroom is perfect for the kids, with a full and twin sized bunk bed plus a trundle on the bottom, and everything that is needed for a relaxing night’s sleep after a long day at the beach.

Unlike many of the properties in the area, our cottage features central heating and air conditioning to keep cool on warm summer days. Need to do laundry? No problem! We’ve got you covered with a full-size washer and dryer, along with all you need to make your clothes fresh and clean. Bath and beach towels are provided for your stay compliments of us.

Why dine out when you can make an amazing meal in our fully stocked gourmet kitchen? We have everything you can possibly think of for cooking up a storm -- an assortment of cookware, bakeware and kitchen staples such as spices, condiments, oils, sugar, butter, flour, coffee, tea, and more.

The beach cottage has been designed for your ultimate entertainment experience with an open concept living room, dining room and kitchen to chat with your guests. The living room boasts a flat screen TV with over 150 channels, a DVD player, and Wi-Fi access.

Step outside to the stylish patio furnished with a comfortable, vacation-club inspired sofa set, gas BBQ, retractable awning, and the perfect surroundings of the natural beauty of this quiet neighborhood.

Looking to take a bike ride down to the beach? We've thought of it all! We have four top-of-the line beach cruisers and two children’s scooters waiting for you to take for a spin! There is also an assortment of beach equipment available for your use, including surf boards, body boards, beach chairs, an umbrella, and a cooler. All of which are available for you to use at any time.

Works great for family of six. Very comfortable beach cottage that had recent renovation. Close ride to beach option in Dana, or up Route 1 to Laguna beaches, or south to San Clemente. The beach chairs, umbrella and conveniences are a bonus! Bikes look great. Enjoyed trip to Catalina Island with close ride to Dana Harbor. Easy enough to cook a few meals, use the grill, etc. Definately recommend for a practical family vaca.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great rental. Very clean and comfy. It wasn't as close to the beach as we hoped for, but easy to drive to the beach. I would recommend putting some power strips in the bedroom so there is easy access to charging phones/computers/ipads. But overall the place was great!

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.
