Overall very nice spot for beach fun. Home was clean and well kept. Would stay again for sure.

My family enjoyed the week so much they didn’t want to leave. They want to go back again next year!

Great for a somewhat affordable private beach property stay. Amenities are underwhelming within the property itself compared to the photos, but the gated community is quaint and staff are friendly. Owner/manager are very prompt in responding to questions.

We are a family of 4 that vacationed with another family of 4 and this was the perfect beach house in the best location with the nicest hosts!! We will definitely be returning and highly recommend!!!

The owner Yuri was extremely friendly; she made thoughtful suggestions for our stay. Excellent location. Beautiful ocean-front. Expect ‘beach-front sea-side cottage’ feel—sound of waves (moderately loud on high tide) on the patio. Just keep in mind that Capo Beach has considerable erosion so need a ladder from ocean-front patio to the narrow rocky & Sandy beach; property is a bit aged (although bathrooms & kitchen are reno’d); size perfect for 3 or 4.; well stocked with all you need (just need to look around). Very much enjoyed our stay; hope to come back and thanks to Yuri again!!

Having the sand and ocean as the backyard was perfect! Both the property manager and the owner were quick to respond when we had questions. It was very relaxing with a trolley close enough to head into the town for shopping and fun.

For the price this house is great, lovely location. Host is amazingly responsible. Water is remarkably warm! Plenty of sand toys, available too. Be aware however that beach access is accessible via a ladder and that the beach is half sand half rocks due to excessive beach erosion. Not a problem for the kids, but might be a challenge for older folk.

We enjoyed our stay at Capistrano Beach, despite a few challenges. I do not like to complain, particularly when we enjoyed ourselves. However, I do wish I had seen more detailed reviews of this property, as I would not opt to stay here again. The price was less than most of our beach stays, but not the least expensive. We have stayed in much nicer facilities that were steps from the beach, just not on the sand. Some of the challenges we endured, as I think it will be helpful to families who are considering this property. 1. It would be helpful if the owner would provide a list of some of the unique features. For example, light switches are not located in "typical" locations and take time to figure out. 2. Most of the security guards we encountered were very friendly. We had a VERY rude security guard at the front gate, who was on duty on a Wednesday at 7:30a,m. 3. The neighbors on the south side had teenagers that played their music so loud it was shaking the house. They were smoking pot/cigarettes in plain view, loud and obnoxious. A bit uncomfortable when you have young children. 4. This is a duplex and the owner was there for a few days. This did not bother us, but it's a good thing to know in case it is awkward for anyone. 5. The laundry room is not inside the unit. It is located outside, in a shed that is oddly designed. Washer is on one side of shed and the dryer is on opposite side (you have to walk around the outside of the shed to get from one side to the other). 6. The interior was upgraded, which is cute. Mostly very low quality upgrades. It was functional. I am a visual person who loves architecture and interior design. Mostly not of importance, except one of the pictures in the downstairs guest suite just fell of the wall, unprovoked. When I went to put it back up, I realized the walls are plaster and they had not properly hung the picture. The pic had sharp edges! 7. The cable television upstairs did not work properly, which was ANNOYING!!!!!!!!! 8. The outside grill was DISGUSTING and did not function properly. The catch under the grill was full & had not been cleaned. 9. Owner was friendly and kind, but assumed my kids took a lock that her kids had. Just weird. She apologized. 10. We were 30 min late exiting (partly because I wanted to fix the stupid pic that fell) and the mgr was quick to reprimand us for that. Hope this helps others when evaluating.

Great place. Great time.

Such a great little get away! Location couldn’t have been any better, comfortable and clean and the ultimate relaxation pad. Would definitely recommend staying here!

This home is lovely and newly re decorated and remodeled. The owner Yuri was a pleasure to work with and very helpful and respectful. I would stay here again in a minute. Very welcoming, clean and inviting.

Great vacation with family, right on the beach. Can't beat the views. Thanks Yuri!Dana

We had a great time. The property is in the ideal location for some rest & relaxation.

The house manager was there when we arrived and got responses to any questions in seconds. The ocean view was perfect!

Great location and house. We had a wonderful time.

In my more than 20 years of vacation rentals, I rank this beautiful property among the very best! The location is ideal: ocean front with picturesque views from nearly every room! The decor is exquisite. The kitchen is well stocked. Amenities galore. And Miriam, the property manager, is so attentive and helpful! We'll be back! Again! And again!

Everything was exactly as shown and described and even better. Very clean, great beds and linen, also had the small touches to make staying even more enjoyable. Would highly recommend it.

Wonderful . On a nice sandy beach with relaxing views. Charming decor, clean..A+ Train tracks close by and you can hear the trains but at night the tide is high with waves crashing outside the upstairs master bedroom . The waves are so wonderfully powerful the trains blend in . Remarkably almost a no -issue.

We enjoyed our stay at this home - nice location and great home for two families of 4.

Recommend this place if you are looking for a cool, relaxing trip close to Dana Point and/ or San Clemente.

My sister wanted a beach vacation for her birthday... this home was the perfect spot to make that happen. It’s right on the sand. We enjoyed listening to the waves and the sunsets were spectacular!!!! Loved this place!!!

Location was execellent. View was specatucular. The size was perfect for 4 adults. We walked to San Clemente pier one day and Dana Point Harbor another day. Good long walks! You can hear trains from back bedrooms, but fortunately they don't run too frequently. Property is not geared towards people with mobility issues (no shower bar). Comment is not a negative, but an observation in the event you are considering bringing someone who has mobility issues.

Great time at this beach house family get together wonderful for all,

The experience was amazing.

My husband two boys (1 year old & 3 year old) and parents stayed at this home. It was absolutely beautiful. Location, Location, Location!!! It was on the beach perfect for my boys to play in the sand. The house was clean and very spacious. Miriam was great and easy to contact. Thank you for a great three day weekend.

Beautiful setting. House in a lovely gated community. Very clean. Kitchen easy to use. Spacious master. Bathrooms were a little small but otherwise fine. The beach was a little smaller than anticipated and the waves broke loudly. Very wonderful in the day but quite loud in the evening. We got used to it after a few days and closed windows part way. With the fan, the sound of the waves was just right. Sitting on the patio with a cup of joe in the am was heaven. Dinner the same. I definitely recommend this house!
