About this property

Relax in Style at the Bitchin' Beach House! STR#14-0231

As seen on the front page of OC Weekly’s "10 Coolest Airbnbs in Orange County," at the BBH & Bitchin' Digs we believe that you deserve the best...the best service & the most Bitchin’ vacation rental in So Cal!

(Designed/owned/managed by LA Times featured cover story design team sisters, Bitchin' Digs!)

The Bitchin' Beach house is a very colorful, vibrant beach bungalow! It took a lot of work and heart to create this amazing environment. If you are looking for a unique experience, where your vacation home is not just a bed for the night, you have come to the right place! This house is truly a vacation in itself. Decorated and owned by professional Interior Designers/Decorators, this Caribbean-Inspired Getaway is unlike any other home. Filled with one-of-a-kind stained glass (including beautifully carved stained glass bedroom doors, dual masters - one we call the 'Captain's Room' featuring a queen bed, hanging chair hammock and a clawfoot bathtub perched on a pedestal and the other 'The Bamboo Room' has furniture taken straight from a villa in Mexico including a rocking chair and double bed handmade from bamboo.

Our 800 sq ft wraparound cobblestone porch overlooks our beautiful peaceful street and expands our bungalow into an outdoor environment, with its dining table for 12 made from 100+ yr old barn wood. Close our outdoor curtains for even more privacy as you lounge on the hanging bed and take in the scent of the fresh flowers along the perimeter of the veranda. Ahhh...

(Quick note about Parking & Smart Doorbell:
Parking - The BBH is a 1950s beach bungalow with street parking. Parking has become much trickier recently, especially at night and on weekends. Recent guests had to park a few blocks away when they came home at night. The price is lower than normal due to the inconvenience. The Bitchin’ Beach House is truly adorable but we wanted to make sure you are aware of the issue prior to booking. If you’ve never been to beautiful Dana point, walking and biking around town can be really fun!

New Smart Doorbell - For security, we have a Ring Video Doorbell on the outside of the front door (which faces the front entrance side patio).)

The Bitchin' Beach House is the first of many real estate and hospitality endeavors created, owned and managed by Bitchin' Digs.

The Bitchen Beach House was so fun to stay in! Everything worked great as well as the house having TONS of personality. It was not your usual sterile condo or apartment. I loved the lights and all the special decorations. It was convenient and clean. The shower was especially great. And the beds were perfectly comfortable for us.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Bitchin’ Beach House! There are so many artistic decorative touches and unique features to this colorful and cozy home that you really feel immersed in a different world. The hanging bed on the front porch is an incredibly peaceful perch for resting/ napping, reading, contemplating. Alyssa was very prompt in responding, and made us feel so welcome. If you are looking for a unique, and peaceful yet vibrant place to stay, you couldn’t do better than this.

Killer Brocation Spot

My friends and I attended a wine charity event in Dana Point and SJC and I chose the Bitchin' Beach House as our base. Such a good call. This place is truly unique and was very cool to spend a couple nights in. It's rootsy style and feel, coupled with its perfect location made our excursion memorable! Highly recommended!

Great Place to Stay in Dana Point

We spent 6 nights at the BBH in Dana Point, and were lucky enough to find this gem during the week of the 4th of July. From the time that we booked the house, the owners were very responsive and welcoming. The home was bright, thoughtfully decorated, and comfortable for our family of 3. We spent evenings in the outdoor seating areas and cooked several meals in the kitchen. It was especially convenient to be able to do a load of laundry. The neighborhood was quiet and located within walking distance to a grocery store and shops. It was a truly unique home that we looked forward to coming back to each day. We would definitely love to stay here again.

A very quaint So Cal experience!

My family and I, including our two boys 9 & 11, loved our time staying here. My sons literally fought over who got to sleep outside on the hanging porch bed! Home worked great for us and the patio is a true gem. Parking can be tricky on certain days or if you get back late but be patient and you will find an open street spot. Worst I had was parking one block over. Alyssa was great in providing suggestions for eating experiences around Dana Point. House is close to several walkable restaurants. There are close grocery stores and a Costco nearby as well. Enjoy.

The Bitchin' Beach House gains another happy friend

My wife and I and two visiting friends from Italy just stayed five nights at the Bitchin' Beach House. It is a great location and we loved the eclectic look. We had nine additional family members and friends over for a Mexican meal on the front patio, and there was plenty of room. The house was very comfortable and quiet. As stated in the VRBO description, parking can be a problem but not unsolvable.

About the host

Hosted by Alyssa & Tessa H.

Host profile image
The Bitchin' Beach House is our first project of many. It is a home, a getaway, a vacation rental, a retreat... an oasis!

Our goal is to own and design properties all over the world. We want our places to be about creating a lifestyle; everyone should be able to enjoy extraordinary environments, for themselves or with their favorite people.

The Bitchin' Beach House was a rundown, cramped, depressing house and we turned it into a Caribbean-inspired getaway with room to entertain! We put our all into creating a place worth bringing people together, from the decorative pillows, right down to the studs.

In simple terms, we are very driven and passionate about taking full advantage of the senses! We love to create beautiful inspiring environments, visually, musically, scent, taste, etc... everything can, and should be, made enjoyable.

If you care to see a plethora of photos/descriptions/amazing reviews/raves/gloats or boasts please look up "The Bitchin' Beach House" on that oh-so-famous social networking website: www.facebook.com/thebbh


Enjoy our curated Spotify playlist, The Bitchin' Beach House® Vibes, featuring tunes that make our little oasis feel like home.

Why they chose this property

It has almost 'seven miles of coastal bluffs and rolling hills along the Pacific Ocean with its charming beaches and wild surfs. Most noteworthy of these bluffs is a unique promontory known as the “Headlands”, which overlooks Dana Point Harbor, one of the most significant manmade alterations of the Orange County coastline.' (Quote taken from the City of Dana Point). For me personally, it was the fact that it has everything... it is within a mile of the greatest beaches in California, walking distance to the store and cute shops, it's a ten minute drive to Newport, Laguna and San Clemente. There are plenty of things to do no matter what your taste or mood. Great happy-hours, sunsets and relaxing days on the beach are endless. Who wouldn't want the quintessential Southern California Beach living experience?

What makes this property unique

No other rental will feel as unique as this home. There is not one cookie-cutter aspect of this bungalow. It is truly individual.
