Property DescriptionUnfurnished * 1,235 Sq. Ft. * Upstairs, Top-Floor Privacy
Preferred lease term through May 31, 2028. Lease length is negotiable.
Enjoy coastal living in this beautifully updated, upper-level condominium in Niguel Beach Terrace, directly across from Strands Beach in Dana Point. With no upstairs neighbors, three private patios, and unobstructed ocean views from the primary bedroom patio, this home offers a welcoming coastal retreat.
ELEVATED OCEAN-VIEW LOCATION
The condominium is set well back from the bluff's edge and substantially above ocean level. It is an ocean-view property--not directly oceanfront, beachfront, or situated at beach level. Beach access requires crossing the street and a large parking lot, then descending a sloped stairway to the sand.
Enjoy expansive ocean views from the private primary bedroom patio, with additional ocean views through smaller windows in the primary bedroom and one guest bedroom. Nearby beach access paths and seaside trails provide opportunities to enjoy the coastline.
UPDATED INTERIOR & EVERYDAY COMFORT
A full remodel was completed in 2023, followed by additional upgrades in 2025 and repairs and fresh paint throughout in 2026.
The living room features a vaulted ceiling, cozy fireplace, and adjoining patio. An adjacent dining area connects to the kitchen, which features marble-look quartz countertops and backsplash, a KitchenAid refrigerator, five-burner Maytag self-cleaning range, microwave, dishwasher, and disposal.
Additional features include:
* Central air conditioning and heat pump heating
* Three private patios
* In-home washer and dryer
* Luxury vinyl plank flooring and carpeted bedrooms
* Two large wall-to-wall closets in the primary bedroom
* A wall-to-wall closet in each guest bedroom
* Large storage room on the front entry patio
* Two assigned covered carport spaces
Located toward the front of the community, the home offers convenient access to the carports and nearby mailboxes. Guest parking is subject to availability and community rules.
