About This Home

As of January 2026

Welcome to 54 Corniche Drive, a beautifully updated ground-floor condo in the coveted, 24-hour guard-gated community of Ritz Pointe, just minutes from the sand, sea, and world-class resorts of Dana Point. This thoughtfully upgraded 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the ideal blend of comfort, style, and location. The open-concept living area welcomes you with a cozy fireplace and seamless access to a large, wraparound patio—perfect for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or soaking in the ocean breeze. Just off the patio, you'll find your private laundry room, adding a layer of everyday convenience. The kitchen shines with quartz countertops, ample cabinetry, and a functional layout ideal for cooking and entertaining. Wide-plank vinyl flooring runs throughout the main living spaces, combining a modern aesthetic with easy maintenance. Both bedrooms feature brand new carpeting, oversized walk-in closets, and abundant natural light. The spacious primary suite includes a beautifully updated en-suite bath with new vanities, mirrors, and contemporary fixtures. Additional upgrades include complete home repiping in 2024 for added peace of mind. Enjoy resort-style amenities just steps away—relax at the pool and spa, stay active in the fitness center, or unwind in the clubhouse. An assigned covered carport is included for easy parking. Ideally located near Salt Creek Beach, the Ritz-Carlton, Monarch Beach Golf Links, Ocean Ranch Village, and the vibrant Lantern District, you'll have quick access to top-tier shopping, dining, hiking, and coastal adventures. Commuting is effortless with close proximity to John Wayne Airport and major freeways.
