Experience true beachfront living in this luxurious 3-bedroom, 2-bath lower-level duplex bungalow, located directly on the sand in the exclusive, private guard-gated Beach Road community.
From the moment you arrive, youâll understand why so many of our guests tell us:
âThe pictures are beautiful, but they donât do it justice.â
We couldnât agree more. The beauty of this property, the sound of the waves, and the breathtaking sunsets simply canât be captured in photos.
The Space
The open-concept living area is designed to showcase the spectacular oceanfront views. A fully equipped gourmet kitchen with a large island overlooks the spacious great room, featuring:
* Floor-to-ceiling glass windows and sliding doors * Cozy fireplace * Dining area with panoramic ocean views * Luxury buttery leather sectional with exceptionally comfortable pull-out sleeper * Two reclining chairs perfect for relaxing while watching the surf
Whether youâre preparing meals, enjoying family time, or simply relaxing indoors, youâll always have a front-row seat to the Pacific.
Outdoor Living
The expansive oceanfront deck sits directly on the sand and is truly the highlight of the home.
Unlike many Beach Road properties, this home enjoys rare added privacy, with:
* A privacy wall to one side * Two vacant lots on the other * No immediate neighboring home to the left
This unique setting creates one of the most private beachfront decks on Beach Road.
Just below the deck is your own elevated private sand area featuring a custom built-in gas fire pit, complete with wraparound bench seating and plush cushions. Itâs the perfect place to enjoy sunsets over Catalina Island, roast sâmores, or unwind with a glass of wine while listening to the waves.
Morning sun, incredible sunsets, and unmatched privacy make this outdoor space truly one of a kind.
Family Friendly
Our home welcomes families; however, it has not been childproofed.
Because the oceanfront deck does not have solid fencing and protective rocks are located below, we recommend the home for families with older children. There is also no lifeguard on duty on the beach.
Nearby Attractions
Youâll be just minutes from:
* Dana Point Harbor * San Clemente Pier * Historic San Juan Capistrano * World-class dining * Scenic hiking trails * Shopping and entertainment

We look forward to welcoming you for your next â â â â â beachfront vacation.
This home was breathtaking with even more beautiful views of the ocean. This property was exactly what I was looking for, for our family. We were able to have family dinners outside on the wonderful back deck overlooking the ocean. Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy with all the necessities of home! The hosts were very responsive and easy to work with. I would highly recommend!
This property is definitely one we will return to again. Watching and listening to the waves roll in never gets old. Itâs âroomyâ in the important areas: living room, dining & kitchen, with a large, very nice covered patio. It checked all of our boxes, therefore the five star review.
We loved our time at Casa Del Mar - it is a small, simple condo with an amazing, expansive view! The location was perfect for us. Note - there is no direct beach access. But, you can easily walk a few blocks to the beach. We even walked all the way to Doheny Beach.
We had a wonderful time here. The waves are crashing so close you can hear them anywhere in the house. Canât beat the view and the outside deck was set up perfectly to hang out. Nice that it was mostly shaded. Property managers were super responsive.
Beautiful home with plenty of space for our family of six. Being right on the ocean was incredible. When the tide went out, it opened up a sandy beach where we could play, relax, and soak up the sun before it came back in. Falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing on the rocks was a highlight. The neighborhood felt quiet and safe, and itâs close to great restaurants and things to do. Overall, we had a great time. The hosts were very accommodating and easy to communicate with.
Bring your camera & be ready for the sunsets & sunrises! We enjoyed the stunning views and quiet serenades of the ocean waves. House is very clean and has everything you need & more! Great communication with the host and even left me beautiful birthday flowers!
Beautiful house with everything you need. We spent most of our time on the back deck/ fire pit listening to the crashing waves. We found it nice to have ocean time without being covered in sand. Occasionally, people would venture onto the empty lot next door and scream as they played with the intense waves but the noise never lasted long. And if people on out on the deck of the house on the other side of you, it is tight quarters and you can hear their conversation, but thatâs just due to the nature of California houses being close together along the ocean. We walked down to the beach (just a few houses away) a couple times a day. This property is within a quick drive to so many nice things. The games in the garage were a wonderful added bonus! Overall, this was a great find and we would definitely recommend. Hope to come back in the future!
What a beautiful home! We loved our stay. All wasexactly as advertised. Home wasso clean and close to everything Dana Point has to offer. Expectation setting and communication from our host was excellent. We canât wait to book the property again soon!
This is an extremely clean, well equipped home. The views of the ocean are spectacular! You are right on the ocean, amazing! It is a private, quiet, location. Julie is an excellent, very attentive, responsive host. We would definitely stay here again.
Such a great stay. The ocean is stunning and so is the location. The house was as listed and the communication to the property managers was easy. Will come back again.
We had the most incredible stay at this beach house in Dana Point, it truly felt like a dream come true. The location alone is unbeatable, sitting right on the ocean with the most beautiful, calming views.From the moment we walked in, we felt completely welcomed. The soft Zen music playing when we opened the door instantly set the tone: peaceful, relaxing, and just what we needed. It was such a thoughtful touch and really made the experience feel special from the very beginning.The home itself had absolutely everything we could have needed and more. It was so well-stocked and thoughtfully put together, which made our stay effortless and comfortable.This was one of those rare places that just feels right the second you arrive. Warm, inviting, and incredibly relaxing. We would come back in a heartbeat and couldnât recommend it more.
This is the second time we have had the wonderful opportunity of staying at this delightful beach house.The views out onto the ocean are amazing .The host is very thoughtful and easily accessible. Furniture is very comfortable and the kitchen nicely equipped with both cooking equipment and a nice coffee bar area. The deck area was a very nice area to sit and look out at the ocean with a glass of wine and barbecue our dinner. The fire pit area is very comfortable and spectacular views. We had a relaxing enjoyable weekend get away!
The house is gorgeous and the location is fantastic. The hosts were very welcoming and quick to respond. Weâre looking forward to staying in this beautiful property again. Thank you for everything. đ
Thank you for the kind review! We really appreciate it. You both were an absolute joy to host. We canât wait to see you again!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time on Beach Road. You can't get closer to the ocean - the views and sounds of the waves makes for a wonderful vacation. The house is decorated nicely and is well equipped and stocked. The fire pit in the sand, outdoor barbecue area, ping pong table in the garage and bunk room for teens (or kids) were highlights of my stay.
This is a wonderful location to just relax and let the world go by, Southern California at its finest! Thereâs nothing like the waves crashing on the rocks outside the patio at high tide on a full moon! The rest of the time is not so bad either.
The owners are great folks, very helpful, responsive. Weâll be back.
We loved everything about this house! It was cozy and clean. It had everything we needed and more. The teenagers were entertainined. They played ping-pong and used the surfboards they had on property. The fire pit came in handy for the cool evenings. The area was nice, and very close to the harbor. Any time we had any questions, Julie was very prompt in replying. If we are ever in the area again, we would definitely stay here again!
This is a great getaway spot that is right on the ocean beach . The home is very well maintained and has comfortable beds and very nice linens and towels. The views from the deck are truly spectacular and the sunsets are simply stunning. The home is in a gated community which made me feel safe and comfortable.
The hosts Julie and Phil were very attentive and easy to reach . Thanks for a Wonderful experience! Would love to stay at the property again .
