A strategic legacy asset west of the 5 freeway in desirable Capo Beach, 26872 Vista Del Mar offers the rare opportunity to blend coastal lifestyle with enduring financial performance. Perfectly situated just two blocks from Pines Park and moments from Dana Point Harbor and local beaches, this meticulously upgraded duplex delivers privacy, stability, and unmatched turnkey condition in one of South Orange County’s most coveted enclaves.
Every meaningful capital improvement has already been completed: a new roof, full repipe, updated electrical systems, new gas line, dual new water heaters, new ductwork, attic insulation, gutters, shut-off valves, new AC in Unit A, whole house fan in Unit B, Halo 5 whole house water filtration system, and more—all completed between 2021 and 2024 with an eye toward longevity and ease of ownership. Each residence lives entirely independently, with no shared walls, private entrances, private garages, separate laundry facilities, and thoughtful layouts designed for maximum comfort and quiet enjoyment. One residence features a beautifully modernized open-concept interior with quartz countertops, a remodeled kitchen and baths, and a sleek gas fireplace. The second residence offers a light-filled open design, updated vinyl flooring, upgraded bathrooms, built-ins, and timeless coastal character, elevated above the surrounding streets to capture gentle ocean breezes, lush palm tree views, and total privacy. The undeniable curb appeal, professionally landscaped grounds, and elevated architectural character create a lasting first impression. With strong in-place income, future upside potential, complete ownership flexibility with no HOA restrictions, and the stability of long-term tenancy opportunities just steps from everything that defines the Dana Point lifestyle, Vista Del Mar represents a rare opportunity to acquire an asset that performs as beautifully as it presents. Properties of this caliber—meticulously improved, thoughtfully designed, and positioned just steps from the Pacific—are seldom available. An investment in Vista Del Mar is an investment in both lifestyle and enduring value, in a location that will only grow more coveted over time.
