About this property

Ocean front. No Sunday checkouts. The house is built on the beach, and has 8 bedrooms and 5 baths in a duplex style three story house. The House can be split into the sand level rental (3 bdrs, 2ba) and the Upper Two Floors rental (5bdr, 3 ba). Wake up to the water. The sound of the waves at night, and the views are unforgettable. The house is well appointed, but it’s a beach house and it’s not super luxurious.

Weekly only Saturday to Saturday in the summer.

The house is located in a gate-guarded community on Capistrano Bay, one mile south of Dana Point Harbor. The harbor is an easy walk/bike ride away, and is terrific for restaurants, jet ski rental, fishing trips, whale watching and the catalina express. Dolphin pods frequent the bay in front of the house, and you may be lucky enough to be a part of their day! We are 35 miles south of Disneyland, and 55 miles north of San Diego.

Great for large group

We had so much space, even with a large group. So close to the water and without the large crowds of the larger beaches. Beautiful expanse of the ocean every morning. Fully equipped kitchens with everything we needed as we cooked a lot at the house. if you want relaxing comfort, it’s perfect. Lee was very responsive with advance questions and if we had questions while there too.

Lovely Christmas

We had a wonderful time with family. Perfect way to check-off a family “bucket list” idea for having Christmas on the beach. Lee was amazing responding to questions. Would come back in the summer for sure…

Delight on the Ocean

What a delight! The views are incredible. Communication was excellent. We had an issue that was resolved. Recommend for a relaxing time at the shore.

Right on the water

Great location on Beach Road. Limited beach access from the house, but walking distance to nice beaches. Not really appropriate for young children due to safety hazards off back deck and no screens on upstairs windows. Lovely view of the ocean and sound of the waves. Train runs directly behind the house, so nighttime noise was an issue.

About the host

Hosted by Lee Maddocks

Grew up in Capistrano Beach. I collect historical photos of the area.

Why they chose this property

A vision of Edward Doheny from the 1920's, these homes are very special. Each custom house has a personality and a history that you can become a part of. Staying on Beach Road is an experience one is likely to never forget.

What makes this property unique

It is very rare to stay on a secluded beach in Southern California that the world almanac describes as the world's best climate. This beach house is very close to the water, and the sights and sounds are stimulating.
