This stunning home offers spectacular panoramic ocean views throughout, allowing you to wake up each morning to the refreshing ocean breeze and the soothing sound of waves just steps away in your private backyard. It doesn’t get much better than this.

Fantastic!
We had a wonderful experience at the beach house! It was exactly as advertised—clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. Yuri was always very attentive and had great communication with us throughout our stay. The local dining options were fantastic, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We felt so safe with the gated entrance, which added to our peace of mind. The experience was well worth the value, and we will definitely rebook for next summer. Highly recommend!

7am - 5:30 pm
Where do I start? First off read the small print on the listing. Did not notice that this property was a 2 unit rental until I got the check in instructions and was told to park in the unit A parking. My fault I guess, just be aware. Not worth it for the price. Also be aware that there is a ring motion sensor light with camera in the back patio. Did not notice it until a couple of days into our trip, covered it immediately. Next morning the property manager just happens to knock on the door to check in on us. Bbq pit in the picture is not there, it’s an empty space. Looks like the pit was ripped out. There is a propane grill in the back of the house, I’ll get back to that. Ok here’s the big kicker. I will say not really the fault of property management but it is good information to know when you’re going to spend money for a trip. So a few days before the family and I were supposed to head to the beach house the property manager sends me an email that the house next to the house we’re renting is under construction but it shouldn’t be a problem. Day 1 as we’re unloading the car there is sawdust flying everywhere. That was the case the remainder of the trip from 7am -5:30 pm. You can expect to hear hammers, drills, saws and the workers talking. Sounds like there in the house. Back to the bbq grill don’t expect to grill during working hours, dust everywhere. The workers were demoing a wall and didn’t notice rocks and debris hitting our cars. Running out of characters, gott

Absolutely fabulous. Wonderful location. The kids enjoyed the beach. My wife and I were able to sit outside and enjoy watching our grandkids. Inside, everything was fine. The refrigerator was large enough to hold our food. Beds were comfortable. We would definitely go back.

Great but could've been better
Overall we had a wonderful time. The house was clean, not perfect. There was a noticable "grit" on the floor (I know, it's the beach), some of the dishes were sticky, and there was sand in-between the sheets on one of the bunk beds. The listing says accommodates 8, and it could, however, there were only 3 beach towels, 2 hand towels, and 4 wash cloths... leaving some of us without. Had the listing said to bring our own towels, I would have. And not that I would have used them, but the listing said there were robes & slippers and there were not. The silverware was very cheap. I understand it's a rental but when the listing called it a luxury getaway, I invisioned nicer things. Last complaint would be that the listing makes it appear to be a soft sandy beach right over the little retaining wall. It is a VERY rocky/pebbly beach and now has a wooden staircase to access the beach. If you've ever been to or seen the beach in Nice, France, it would remind you of that. SO, while we did have a great time I would recommend some things to improve your stay: bring towels (beach, hand, wash cloth, kitchen), cooking oil and seasoning, house shoes, water shoes, beach chairs, trash bags, & paper towels. Positives were the beds were very comfortable w/ nice sheets, I slept like a rock. There were enough fans, everyone had one in their room. Great supply of cookware & utensils. The owners were SUPER nice & super responsive. There is a sandbox on the deck the kids LOVED.

Fantastic location.
This is a wonderful home that has everything you need. But the real selling point is the location. The ocean feels like a part of the home as the waves come right to the deck at high tide. Yuri is a very responsive host. She even brought me chocolates for an early Father’s Day present. I was touched by her thoughtfulness. We will absolutely book a return stay.

Beachfront getaway
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!!

Great little cottage but rocky beach
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.

SPRING BREAK 2021
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.
