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.

pamela p. Dec 2, 2024 03:37:26 AM
Summary: Dana Point is just a beautiful spot on the California coast. Chris & Amy are excellent kind hosts & their home is a perfect place to relax & enjoy the wonderful beach, cute town & magnificent sunsets. We hope to return soon!
Katie L. Oct 15, 2024 11:37:42 AM
Summary: We came in from out of town for a family wedding. The house itself is, top to bottom completely beautiful. The deck was an added BONUS. We even slept outside one night and I personally have never/don’t do that!! I can’t say it enough, every family member had the time of their lives just because of the house!
Thomas M. Oct 2, 2024 03:20:54 AM
Summary: Super nice tastefully updated mid century modern nestled among McMansions. Makes the absolute best of the beach conditions, which are beach at low tide, nicely done river rock at high tide. Everything works what needs to be new is new.
Alicia M. Sep 28, 2024 11:02:50 PM
Summary: Third time staying at the Sandbox and it's truly my favorite place to stay. This is one of those great places that I wouldn't change a single thing. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home, Chris and Amy!
Jen G. Sep 24, 2024 01:36:14 PM
Summary: We had an amazing stay at the Sandbox enjoying quality time with local family. The back deck is gorgeous and ocean views are beyond stunning. The privacy is unmatched. The vintage bungalow is well appointed with everything anyone could possibly need. Chris and Amy showed so much kindness to accommodate a late check out when my daughter got sick the last day. We can’t wait to go back!
Bryan & Teresa S. Sep 19, 2024 12:18:45 PM
Summary: The perfect home to make great memories! The views are spectacular. The patio was ideal for long relaxing days and listening to the waves. We can’t wait to come back! Chris and Amy were great hosts!
Kimberly T. Aug 8, 2024 10:23:51 AM
Summary: Super cute and cozy bungalow in a very nice community. My husband and I stayed here with our teenage grandchildren. The beach in this area is rocky but the back patio is a great place to hangout. We travelled a short way up the road for a perfect day at the beach. If you are staying here with small children make sure you understand the layout of the house. It worked well for us with teenagers that had nowhere to go. The bed in the master was a little too soft for our liking but others might enjoy that.
Vere R. Aug 7, 2024 12:07:35 AM
Summary: Our family completely enjoyed this home and the ocean view. We spent most of our time on the deck right next to the water. We fished, surfed, swam, played games, cooked, laughed, caught up with each other and took in all of God's creation we could. In fact we never turned on the TV once. The home had everything we needed and then some. There were beach chairs, boogie boards, a surf board, all the small appliances, AC, sheets, towels and more. There was some difficulty with the parking. There are 3 spots for sedan or small SUV sized vehicles which was plenty. However because security only issues 3 passes for a specific licensed vehicle, we needed to go through some logistical back & forth when we had local family come visit. We were able to use the free parking just outside of the gate. Thank you so much for your flexibility, we will likely come again!
