About this apartment rental

***City of Dana Point Short Term Rental Permit #02-7170 - Min age req is 25yrs*****



Experience the charm of a bygone era in this 1975 beach house located in Capistrano Beach, CA. This vintage-inspired retreat offers a unique and nostalgic atmosphere, perfect for a short-term rental getaway. Nestled in the coastal beauty of Capistrano Beach, the house captures the essence of the 1970s with its retro decor and classic beach vibes. Immerse yourself in a time-honored beach experience while enjoying a comfortable stay.



This inviting space includes its own private deck, three separate entries, and is completely private.



The front half of the home includes the kitchen and dining area and three distinct conversation clusters. The first conversation nook is tucked away in the corner with a large couch, TV, and two chairs. (Seating for 8). The second is a raised area, the living room, offering panoramic views and seating for 8. And finally, the 3rd area is a small den off of the kitchen. Up to 5 kids can sit at the counter or on the small couch and dine or watch TV. (Seats 7)



There are two small bedrooms, (one has a king bed, the other a queen), and one large bedroom with 6 beds. (3 bunk beds). There is a full bath in the back section of the house and a full bath in the front portion of the home.



The sand comes and goes along the beach depending on tides. A portable fire pit is located on the edge of the deck and can be easily moved if the tide interferes.



Ideal for those seeking a blend of history, style, and relaxation, this beach house promises a memorable and distinctive short-term rental experience. This is an amazing location and experience. It is not unusual for the waves to roll up on the patio in extreme high tides. Low tides can expose a smooth beach for miles on end or a rocky shoreline that demands water shoes in order to navigate

    This house, although vintage from the 70's, was more than we expected. It is kept up quite nicely, extremely clean, and all the comforts of home are there for you. Dana Point on the beach is amazing. This is the third home we have stayed in. The mattresses on the beds were great, the kitchen although small for more than two people at a time, had everything you needed and it was so organized. We didn't use the back bedroom but it had 6 bunk beds. The patio with the waves and views are amazing. Although there were only 2 of us, there is plenty of seating area for a large group. Only two bathrooms. We will come again

    Great property and location, great overall rental. Clear instructions for all access and friendly communication. An awesome firepit was provided along with fire wood, but apparently the neighborhood takes issue with its use, so that was the only hiccup. Would stay again.

    Great location, wonderful neighborhood and close to shopping and amenities. Parking was on site. Property could use some updating, but our kids made good use of the boogie boards and surf boards. Felt like a private beach. We had a great time.

    It was great to stay with such proximity to the beach. The hosts were very responsive and asked us if there was anything we needed during our week-long stay. Home is a little dated and the kitchen is very small, but none of that mattered for our stay. We were very comfortable and had a great time.

    The best part of this stay is the location. You will feel like you are getting away from it all even though restaurants and groceries are minutes away along with excursions out of Dana Point Harbor. The property opens up to a patio that is right on the beach with a fire pit to enjoy the sound of waves and cool evenings. The kitchen is little small but there is room for dining and gathering in the two communal spaces along with another small living room off the kitchen. The bathrooms are clean, one older and one updated. The bath linens are amazing and they even include toiletries like shampoo and conditioner. The two queen bedrooms are small but nice. The bunk bed room is perfect for a large group to have 6 beds.

    Great location, great house. I already miss the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach. The host was great and very helpful. We will be back. Watching the sunset every night was awesome. We loved this long weekend getaway.
