OCEAN VIEW SINGLE-LEVEL COTTAGE IN NIGUEL SHORES
Nestled in the heart of the oceanfront community of Niguel Shores, this single-level beach cottage is the epitome of laid-back Southern California living. A classic surf hangout with a polished twist, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers an unbeatable combination of casual charm, comfort, and ocean views.
From the moment you arrive, the relaxed coastal vibe takes over. The front courtyard welcomes you in with a blend of mature landscaping and open sky, setting the tone for the lifestyle that awaits. Inside, the home opens up to approximately 1,486 square feet of easygoing style and functional design. The open floor plan features a comfortable living room with a cozy fireplace. French doors bring in natural light and lead to a spacious patio, where the salty air and ocean breeze invite you to slow down and enjoy the moment.
The kitchen is equipped with everything you need for spontaneous dinners with friends or quiet mornings with coffee and a view. There's a seamless flow into the dining area, ideal for entertaining or laid-back weeknight meals. With three full bathrooms and three generously sized bedrooms, there’s room for everyone to relax. The primary suite offers direct access to the outdoors creating the feel of a private resort tucked just above the sand.
The large patio is a highlight of the home. Whether you're hosting a barbecue, laying out with a book, or watching the colors shift over the Pacific, it becomes an extension of the living space. With just enough elevation, the property captures ocean views while maintaining a sense of intimacy and shelter.
This home isn’t just about the space inside. Living in Niguel Shores means access to a wealth of amenities: a private beach bluff with direct beach access, a junior Olympic-size pool, spa, tennis and pickleball courts, clubhouse, and 24-hour gated security. The community is vibrant yet peaceful, a favorite for surfers, walkers, and those who appreciate the rhythm of life near the water.
Beyond the gates, you’re minutes from the Ritz-Carlton, Waldorf Astoria, Salt Creek Beach, Dana Point Harbor, and the shops and restaurants of Dana Point and Laguna Beach. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a weekend surf pad, or a vacation getaway, this beach cottage captures the spirit of SoCal coastal living.
In a world that moves fast, here is a place where you can slow down, breathe deep, and live easy. Welcome to your new life at the beach.
