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 Jan 13, construction is in process at a neighboring home. Construction activity is expected from 7:30am-6pm 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 brand-new 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. Umbrellas, beach chairs, and beach toys 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 the fourth bedroom holds a comfy full size sleeper sofa and doubles as a den.

Summary: We had the absolute best stay... I only wish we could have stayed longer!! The big comfy couches with fire tables right on the beach, the gigantic primary bedroom, every possible kitchen & beach amenity with such cute decor. I love my sleep but found myself getting outside early each morning to enjoy the back area with a cup of coffee and incredible views. There’s not one thing I would change and if anything - we hope to be back next summer. Thank you for everything and being such kind and accommodating hosts!!
