Magical OceanFront home in Capistrano Beach. All the comforts of home and more!

10/10 Excellent

"The ocean view is the first thing you notice when you walk into this beautiful home—it’s absolutely stunning! The house is comfortable, beautifully appointed, and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The owners truly thought of everything, from beach gear to toys for the kids, which made our stay especially easy and enjoyable.We had such a wonderful time and felt right at home. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we’ve already booked our stay for next summer! That probably says it all. Highly recommend!"

On The Sand, Endless Sunset Views, Perfect 4 Families!

8/10 Good

"House was very clean. Lots of glass to worry about from showers, bathroom sinks to the huge patio door with rotting hinges that looks ready to break off. That was probably the most to worry about. Now you couldn't walk onto the beach like the advertised picture. Oh no!!! That was years ago maybe. Erosion took the beach away. It was private & safe though. Sandbox needs fresh sandbox for children to play in. Not a place for kids but ok for 3 years playing in the sand."

Stunning Ocean Front Luxury Home - Sleeps 12

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience! Plenty of room for everyone. We saw sea lions from the master bedroom. There wasn't any beach in front of the house while we were there but just the sound of the sea satisfied us. One night , the smoke alarm started chirping and by the next morning, they were at the property putting a new one up. We will stay here again."
