Nestled in the coastal beauty of Capistrano Beach, the house captures the essence of the 1970s with its retro decor and classic beach vibes. Immerse yourself in a time-honored beach experience while enjoying a comfortable stay.
This inviting space includes its own private deck, three separate entries, and is completely private.
The front half of the home includes the kitchen and dining area and three distinct conversation clusters. The first conversation nook is tucked away in the corner with a large couch, TV, and two chairs. (Seating for 8). The second is a raised area, the living room, offering panoramic views and seating for 8. And finally, the 3rd area is a small den off of the kitchen.

There are two small bedrooms, (one has a king bed, the other a queen), and one large bedroom with 6 beds. (3 bunk beds). There is a full bath in the back section of the house and a full bath in the front portion of the home.
The sand comes and goes along the beach depending on tides. A portable fire pit is located on the edge of the deck and can be easily moved if the tide interferes.
Ideal for those seeking a blend of history, style, and relaxation, this beach house promises a memorable and distinctive short-term rental experience. This is an amazing location and experience. It is not unusual for the waves to roll up on the patio in extreme high tides. Low tides can expose a smooth beach for miles on end or a rocky shoreline that demands water shoes in order to navigate

Summary: It was great to stay with such proximity to the beach. The hosts were very responsive and asked us if there was anything we needed during our week-long stay. Home is a little dated and the kitchen is very small, but none of that mattered for our stay. We were very comfortable and had a great time.
