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.

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. The maximum number of guests allowed in the home is up to 6 adults and up to 8 people including children.

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.

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!

My family and I had an amazing time at Chris and Amy’s beach house. The location was perfect and every detail was thought of. The deck worked out great to have friends and family over for the day. We had 2 families stay there and didn’t feel tight at all. The Sandbox Vintage was the ultimate beach vacation, we will definitely be back again! Thanks again Chris and Amy.

This was the perfect place for a family spring break. The views and access to the beach were amazing. The house more than comfortably accommodated our family of four. The kids loved the easy access to the beach and seeing the water levels at different tides. Our kids have outgrown the sandbox, but the giant sandbox on the back patio is perfect for smaller kids. All of the amenities were there. The hosts were great and extremely responsive to anything we needed. The location is in a gated neighborhood on a single street so it was extremely quiet. It was a 50 minute door-to-door trip to Disneyland in peak traffic, so the proximity was helpful. I spent several years in Orange County and really missed the beach and the weather. This mid-March trip did not disappoint on either front.
