About this property

Less than 5 min stroll across to the ocean! Top-Level Unit. Quiet Location.

This beautifully top-floor remodeled and cozy chic beach condo is nestled in one of the few serene nooks of the Niguel Beach Terrace community RIGHT across the street from Strands Beach!

This beautiful beach is accessible with both stairs and a city-run elevator, and perfect for a getaway! Enjoy the sun and sand and then take a dip in the secluded association hot tub right around the corner! With a custom-made sofa, luxurious coastal inspired master bedroom, guest room, new kitchen appliances, outdoor breakfast patio, and outdoor lounge patio with firepit, you will be secluded from the beach parking lot noise but close enough to smell the salt-water breeze! Enjoy the green lawn and garden the breakfast patio overlooks as it is not sandwiched between other units - something not common in this neighborhood. If you want a bit more action, take a short drive to Disneyland or Legoland, or visit one of the many local restaurants for your favorite food and drink!

Offering high-speed internet, YouTubeTV, games, books, beach chairs and an umbrella. Relax, unwind, and welcome to the beach 🏖

Amazing!
This was an amazing stay - the location, the condo, the neighbors and the property manager are all top notch. Our family stayed for 2 months during our home remodel, and we just had the best experience! The property is absolutely lovely, stylish, clean and well appointed. Just bring your clothes and stay a while... We highly recommend!

Best property at Strands Beach!
If you are looking for the perfect coastal getaway right across from Strands beach, look no further! There are several units available in this complex but none of them have the coastal modern decor and feel you are looking for in a beach property! Trust me, I know the area well and have done my research! This is by FAR, the best unit available for short term rent in the area. And John is an AMAZING host! He immediately responds to any questions you may have and has done everything he can to provide you with every comfort needed in his impeccably decorated condo. I am already booking my next stay and consider this property my home away from home!

Awesome!
The condo is super comfortable, spacious and well set up. The location can't be beat. Easy walk to the beach, to town, or the free trolleys that also connect to neighboring beach city routes. John is a great host. Our family had an awesome vacation. Thank you John!

Great place to stay
We stayed in this very comfortable vacation condo for 2 months this year and have booked for next year. It was very comfortable, the decor was fresh and appealing and the host was so accommodating. Kitchen had updated appliances and was fully stocked with cooking utensils and really, all one needed for dining in. We relaxed on the well appointed deck in the evening when we weren’t relaxing in the nearby hot tub. Highly recommend this condo for a stress free vacation

One of the best in Niguel Beach Terrace
The condo "is" as the pictures show. Very nicely decorated, new dishes, cutlery, bedding, towels. Nice location near the more private hot tub. Neighbors were very quiet - never heard any noise. John was very responsive to anything we asked for - if we needed something it was normally delivered within 1 or 2 days.

BEST VRBO EVER!
During our travels, we've stayed in a lot of VRBO's - and this gem was our absolute favorite. We were a little cautious when initially booking our reservation as we knew this was going to be a long stay for us, but the location & accommodations more than met & exceeded our expectations. The condo itself is beyond charming & decorated in a very fresh & relaxing beach style. There is a great little fire pit on one of the balconies with bistro lights & another little seating table & chairs on the other balcony overlooking the pool. The master bed was EXTREMELY comfortable & all the linens were clean & new. The kitchen appliances functioned perfectly & the dishes, pots, pans, small appliances, etc. were all clean & in new/fantastic condition. This VRBO was a truly a great place to be & we genuinely didn't want to leave. The location CAN'T be beat! It's a short walk to one of the most gorgeous beaches in CA. We absolutely LOVED our stay here & can't wait to go back! The owners were honestly the best we've ever dealt with! They were very approachable, communicative, friendly and professional. When we arrived, there was a beautiful bouquet of flowers and lovely note welcoming us. If we every had a question about anything, they were very responsive & helpful. Again, can't say enough great things about this charming little beach gem. Our entire experience was WONDERFUL!

About the host

Hosted by John B.

Host profile image
As a Southern California local, Dana Point has become our home, place of adventure, and serenity. We are private hosts who want our guests to feel at home and we make every effort to do so. Communication is easy as opposed to dealing with a property management company overseeing numerous properties. We believe our guests deserve to be treated with hospitality in every way.

From our family to yours, we hope you enjoy our Strands Beach Getaway!

Why they chose this property

This remodeled property in the Niguel Beach Terrace community offers close proximity to beautiful Strands Beach without the need to drive. No traffic, no searching for parking, and most importantly - the ability to experience a world-class beach with the least effort. The property is recently remodeled, has updated appliances, and comfortable beds. It is the perfect home away from home! Please see our reviews for what our guests have said!

What makes this property unique

Close proximity to Strands Beach, but tucked away in a quiet part of the community near the adult spa. As opposed to many other units in the community that offer little privacy and protection from beach parking lot noise, this unit overlooks a well-manicured grass lawn with hummingbirds and butterflies. Clean, updated, and peaceful with friendly neighbors! There is even a secure back gate that allows for quick access to walk into town for shopping or a meal.
