About this property

Stunning Modern Multimillion Dollar Whitewater Ocean View - Steps to Beach

Casa Vista (The Travertine) has the finest finishes to ensure your comfort.

Casa Vista is a 5 Star home 250 feet above the beach with extraordinary views of the coast in Dana Point. There are three five star resorts including the Ritz Carlton within walking distance. The patio and living room face the ocean with fabulous whitewater and coastal views.
The large 200 foot ocean facing patio leads into the great room with an open kitchen and dining room - all with ocean views. Casa Vista has two bedrooms, each with king beds and two full baths. The unit has its own washer and dryer to make doing laundry easy.
The unit is located on the ground floor (no steps) and has its own garage space. This makes it especially easy to come into the unit if you are carrying suitcases or shopping bags. The unit is handicap accessible and is completely furnished with everything you need for a fabulous vacation.

The large patio overlooking the ocean is a great place for a private barbecue and dinner on a summer night.

The unit overlooks Strands Beach in the Headlands- just 1/4 mile south of the famed Ritz Carlton Hotel and Salt Creek Beach Park, and is located adjacent to the path to the beach on top of the bluff. It is very quiet, peaceful and safe. It is truly one of the most unforgettable spots you will ever find. The condo is furnished impeccably by the artist/owner and has everything you could need for a vacation.

A 10 minute wall will take you into town where you will find many wonderful restaurants, cafes and shops. Dana Point Harbor is about 1.5 miles away and makes for a longer walk or short drive for lunch or for a coffee.

Other stay periods considered. Please contact owner.

We have a fourplex ( I live in one of the units) with identical units of approximately 1,000 square ft facing the ocean. Sometimes our guests want to extend their stays and we try to accommodate them and have to move other guests to one of the sister units. Rest assured they are all exceptional with extraordinary views of the ocean and rent for the same amount. You will be happy in any of them.

An amazing get away!
This property is the best location, in my opinion. We decided to skip the rental car and there were no lack of places to visit by foot or trolley. The view is absolutely breathtaking and being up higher set the tone for feeling more secluded. This was definitely a great vacation to both recharge and explore! The host was very friendly and welcoming. A+ :)

Stunning ocean view
This property was literally on an ocean cliff with unobstructed views of seashore bluffs and sunset views. The view was stunning. The property had a nice oceanside deck. The condo was well equipped and quiet. It was very close to the entrance of a protected land reserve, with walking paths. Jill always answered our questions. Would highly recommend!

Affordable living about the Ultra-Rich!
Contradictory title? Not if you can have white-water ocean-front living in a condo that looks out over $30 million dollar mansions; all the way to the Ritz-Carlton! As prior SoCal residents we -- along with our native visitors from from Orange and San Diego counties -- were blown away by the constant vistas before us. We ate most of our local meals at home because no restaurant view compares. It was like Eden with the whale spouts, dolphin pods, the local road runner couple, and other flora and fauna from the surrounding Headlands. Top all that with Jill, the more gracious, generous and lovely hostess, who remained concerned about our comfort and enjoyment throughout our 30+ day stay. She is a well-read, worldly, multi-lingual trained scientist, who was a joy to meet. Book this place asap, but please leave room for our return!!

What a view, literally a $20 million views!
We were able to prepare a full Christmas dinner. Well equipped. Beds were very comfortable. Trails immediately out the front door. The beach directly below via a nice trail and steps system. Chalking distance to bars and restaurants. I would doubt any other property in this price range would have such a view. Garage but don’t bring a giant SUV like we did. Easy on street parking if so even though we could fit in driveway. Secure!

Beautiful seaside escape
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Dana Point and this property truly delivered. The view was spectacular and home was as described. Jill was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to respect our privacy and deliver a quality place to stay. Due to an initial mix-up to which unit was available during our available time, she made an accommodation to share her parking space to make it easy for our two cars - truly a great host. The location in Dana Point is central to everything and the walking access to Strands Beach and the Conservation area was a bonus. Would highly recommend and would stay there again!

We had an excellent experience staying at Jill's place. Communication was great from start to finish. The home is spacious, clean, and well-equipped. The biggest positive is the incredible location overlooking the Pacific with incredible whitewater and coastal views. If you enjoy surfing, beach hikes, or just hanging out on an amazing deck, this is the spot!

Excellent time at this lovely condo
My husband and I recently stayed at this condo for a week. It was in a wonderful location and had the most amazing ocean views. We loved sitting out on the balcony watching the sunrise and sunsets. The condo was very clean, the beds were comfy and we had everything we needed for our stay. Jill is an excellent host and is very responsive. I would highly recommend.

Wonderful stay, view and experience right on the ocean. In a period of a lot of uncertainty, this was an excellent place to stay for six weeks. The owner, Jill, was very communicative and helpful. She gave us some guidance about local establishments food quality and outdoor seating, which we were very interested in during a surge in the pandemic. The location was perfect for daytime and nighttime walks on the beach. The beach didn’t have much of a boardwalk, but the terrain, especially at lower tide times made for some wonderful walks. The nearby area of Dana Point, San Clemente and Laguna Niguel had everything one needs from groceries, to fine eateries/bakeries, and places to shop. Property is very high on our list for a return visit. Would highly recommend.

Terrible host, bad experience.
Dealing with the owners behavior was an absolute nightmare. On the first morning of our vacation we were woken to the sounds of an electric chainsaw, demolition, banging and extremely loud construction work at 6 am from her unit above us. It scared my daughter to tears. The walls are paper thin so it sounded like the construction was in our room. We were never informed of any construction work prior to our visit and we told her of our need for sleep but she said she couldn’t do anything about it and the contractors were scheduled for the entire week of our vacation. We never would have booked a vacation under those circumstances. When the construction stops her yapping dogs begin. It was never peaceful. I wish I would have considered the other reviewer who had similar problems but I figured the general feedback was positive from others. Beach access is deceiving. The house sits on top of a cliff, you need to hike up and down for about a mile to acres beach. Garages look like a storage room with junk and no room to park. Again, the views are incredible. However, when I travel other elements are important to me. For me sleep is a must, I didn’t get that here. Consistent, working internet, you don’t get that here. A kind hostess with integrity, this was my biggest issue. She avoided all responsibility for her behavior, made excuses and showed no remorse. We had three other weeks scheduled for this unit and we have cancelled all of them. It was more important for her to profit during her construction than it was to be honest and give us a choice. We would have happily scheduled somewhere else, had we known. We would have been guests for life with a little consideration. I also want to mention the problem showers too. The hot water heater runs out of hot water after 3 minutes. This was a slight disappointment but livable if all other circumstances were ideal. The real issue was the fear of taking a shower because the entire ceiling had busted open from all of the construction. We did need to end our visit early and we left sleep deprived. Our travels home was one of complete denial that a person could behave with such a lack of decency. Her behavior was very Machiavelli. Jill, your behavior and lack of care for your guests was rude, unfounded and reprehensible. I hope you learn your lesson and you allow your future guests a much better experience. We will not be returning.

About the host

Hosted by Jill Fabricant

Host profile image
My brother and I purchased this property in 1990. Bob was out running and found it and fell in love with the location. He told me about it and I also fell in love with the VIEW. Since then, we renovated the units and rent two of them out. I love the property so much I moved there. Both Bob and I are in the medical profession. We love the tranquility and beauty surrounding our Dana Strands home. They are only a five minute walk to Starbucks, restaurants and cafes. They are furnished lovingly and contain original artwork. They are truly a jewel.

Why they chose this property

My brother and I were mesmerized with the VIEW from the property as it is simply SPECTACULAR. It is undoubtably one of the most striking views you will ever see. The entire property was completely renovated recently. We are located in The Headlands adjacent to the new multimillion dollar development The Strand which has some of the most expensive beachfront properties in Orange county (California). Our property is located on the edge of the bluff in the Strand overlooking the ocean. It is the most ideal location as it is the signature property when you drive into the area. You will love it. There is also a funicular that goes down to the beach which is only a couple of minutes walk from the property.

What makes this property unique

This condo has a spectacular view of the coast. You can also watch dolphins play in the surf and watch SUNSETS from the patio. The path to the beach is adjacent to the property. Outside the door there are about 2 miles of ocean view paths in the nearby reserve where you can hike. The property is a 10 minute walk to the Ritz Carlton and St Regis Hotels. The Ritz Carlton has the same view as ours and the St. Regis is located about one half mile from the ocean and does not compare. The condo is a FIVE STAR lodging and has everything you need to make your visit truly remarkable.
