The Sandbox - Vintage Beachfront Bungalow - private beach Dana Point STR23-0020

** AVAILABLE FOR 3 NIGHT MINIMUM** DANA POINT PERMIT STR23-0020

PRIVATE BEACH ROAD - CHARMING VINTAGE BEACH BUNGALOW. OCEAN AND SAND AT YOUR FEET. 3 BEDROOMS.

Relaxing beach paradise - this oceanfront, freshly updated 1952 beach bungalow sits directly on the sand. The exclusive community of Beach Road provides privacy and seclusion rarely possible with beachfront property, tucked behind the gates of this exclusive guarded community in Dana Point, CA. The beach and ocean are right here. Unwind on the large deck with your morning coffee, see the dolphins swim by and birds dive into the ocean right in front of the house. Cozy up on the deck by the sand, or in the living room with a fire in the gas fireplace while you watch the waves and hear the sounds of the ocean. At low tide, you have direct access to the beach directly off the giant brand-new deck. At high tide, it's like you are floating on a cruise ship, with waves coming right to the glass. Enjoy incredible sunsets, coastline, Catalina Island, and Dana Point views.

Update: As of October construction continues on the expansion of a neighboring home. Construction activity is intermittent and possible from 7am - 4pm Monday through Saturday.

This is a single-level original 1950s California beach bungalow. The single-family residence features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a den with pullout couch, an office, a living room with a gas fireplace, and a full kitchen with ocean views. The expansive deck offers room to spread out, sunbathe or enjoy time with family and friends, with a lower patio area offering room for play, and an outdoor dining area with a Blackstone Grill new in 2025. Umbrellas and beach chairs are at your disposal.

The primary bedroom offers a Sleep Number adjustable King bed and freshly updated master bath, second bedroom features a Queen bed, generous third bedroom holds bunk beds (full and twin), and a cozy Tv room/ den.

The maximum number of guests allowed in the home is up to 6 adults and up to 8 people including children. In front of the property, there is private uncovered driveway parking for up to three standard-sized vehicles.

Beach Front properties face harsh conditions daily from the salt air and king tides. Amtrak trains run daily and at night along the active railroad on the opposite side of Beach Road and Pacific Coast Highway.

No parties/events -- Our home is in a quiet residential area and this property is best for families looking for a quiet beachside retreat. If you are looking to host and entertain, Beach Road is not the best option for your group. No smoking on entire premises --Quiet hours between 10pm-8am.

All guests must be pre-approved by host and entered in advance into guard gate system. Maximum of 14 guests in total including registered daytime visitors allowed, all rules are strictly enforced. Parking is extremely limited on Beach Road, please be aware. Guests outside of 2-3 cars in the driveway will be required to Uber/Lyft.
