The Blue Beach Cottage is located in a quiet beachfront residential community. If you are looking for a quiet retreat to enjoy with family or friends this would be the perfect vacation getaway; great for young children. The beach directly in front of the house is yours! *The Capistrano Beach is subject to smooth river rocks, which flow down from San Juan Creek. They move up and down the beach with the tides. Occasionally, they move right in front of our beach, but they usually wash away the within a few days. In the past few months, storm surge has washed a great deal of sand from our beach. Thankfully, we have installed a barrier wall to keep sand up near out patio. From there, it is possible to access down a set of stairs to get down to the shore. It's been rocky as of late, so low tide is always best for water play. It's a product of mother nature! We really don't have much say on what the ocean does to our beach. There is parking for 3 cars. You must have access to get through the guard gate. There are multiple bicycles and a beach surrey that you can use to drive up and down the road. A $280 cleaning fee will be added to stay. 10% Dana Point Short Term Occupancy Tax included in your quote Dana Point Rental Permit #STR21-1209
