About this property

Cozy Beach Cottage On The Sand!

This newly remodeled and freshly furnished cottage is the perfect beach front get away! Enjoy the unique experience of being directly on the sand, in a private gated community and away from crowds, yet still close to downtown Dana Point, Laguna Beach and San Clemente. This cozy single level home is part of a side by side duplex, which can also be rented and is a great option for extended family or groups of friends. Come experience all that Beach Road has to offer!


There is always something to do at the beach! Swimming, surfing, body boarding and playing in the sand are all steps from the home.

This is the perfect place to relax, recharge, make amazing memories, and even spot a pod of dolphins!

After a day of fun in the sun, enjoy close access to the popular seaside cities of Dana Point and San Clemente.

Great to be right on the beach

Our New York family was delighted to have such a unique experience with a deck right on the beach. We enjoyed walking, swimming, barbecuing and entertaining in this wonderful spot.

Great Beach Vacation

We had a fantastic stay at this cozy beach house. Chris was a super host and always readily available to answer any questions at any time. Being right on the beach makes for an awesome stay! The deck was nice and the house had every thing you need, including beach items. Would recommend!

Great location!

My family and I stayed at the property for three nights. The house was as described, and the location couldn't be beat! We enjoyed our mornings drinking coffee listening and watching the waves and relaxing on the deck in the afternoons sun bathing after taking a dip in the ocean. The property manager was super responsive and we are already looking forward to booking again next year!

Great getaway! Our only complaint was no air conditioning and house was hot at night even with windows all open. Other than that we loved our stay here!

Beautiful location

Our family of four ( two young adult children plus a dog) loved our time here. It is very quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed walking on the beach, sitting on the deck watching the sunset, and listening to the waves. You do share a deck with the next door but there is a divider for privacy if needed. All the neighbors were super friendly. Cooking appliances were nice and the kitchen is well stocked if you want to make a meal. We also utilized the BBQ grill which was great. The temperature was in mid to upper 70's and we were not hot at all. We would definitely stay here again.

Beach stay

The house was in a perfect location. We couldn’t have asked to be closer to the beach. The house itself was very clean, nothing fancy, just beachy. The couch was very uncomfortable. It was the only place to sit other than the dining room table. The outdoor deck is very well appointed. Very comfortable. We were not happy when we got to the gate and they did not have our names. It took an hour to reach the owner. He was very pleasant and called the gate. He gave completely different names than what we had given him. He was very hurried and didn’t ask for spelling or anything. When I asked him to give me the code to get in the house he quickly gave it to me but did not text it so I would have it in writing. We were told that we could only park one car In the driveway which we were fine with but it needs to be more specific about where the second car can be parked. We had to park about a mile up the hill on the street of a residential area. You cannot use beach parking. The owner had said parking was outside the gate. It was, but not what we had pictured. I would give the location a 5 star, the house and appointments a 3, parking a 1 and communication a 1.

Amazing location!

As tempting as it may be to post a dissuading comment to keep some dates open here for our future stays :), we must say this location is the one of the most amazing we have been in. Management was great in communicating and responsive to questions. The price was reasonable and the ocean being your backyard is unreal. Pet friendly was a plus for us and everything inside was in great condition. The sunsets are worth the price and bbq on the deck with a comfy bed and warm shower is a simply a bonus. Look no further if you find an open date here and leave it better than you found it. Enjoy!

OUTSTANDING!

We had to leave our home due to a roof leak and Chris got us in right away. He worked with our insurance company to get us in as quickly as possible. We feel right at home here as we are San Clemente residents and are close to our kids schools. Without the work Chris did with our insurance company we would have been put in some house far away from our kids schools. We are here for a few months and are so happy! Our dog loves the beach and the majority of our family group chats are of us enjoying this beautiful beach house and the beach! Thank you Chris! We love it here! Nan
