Ocean View and Luxury Homes

If you dream of waking up to the Pacific, Dana Point delivers. Communities like The Strand at Headlands and Monarch Bay are known for sweeping views, private beach access, and upscale designs. Many homes include spacious decks, gourmet kitchens, and direct pathways to the sand.

Pro Tip: Ocean-view homes tend to hold value well, and in some markets, they appreciate faster than inland properties.

  • Condos with community pools and gyms
  • Single-family homes with smaller footprints
  • Mobile homes in well-kept, resident-owned parks
