$1,000 off first month special! Among the rarest opportunities ever offered for lease is this meticulously restored Doheny property designed by architect H. Roy Casey. In the 1920s, the Doheny family played a central role in the development of Dana Point, including the eventual conveyance of the harbor lands to the public—an act that helped shape the city as it exists today. The Doheny family is inseparable from the history of Dana Point. It is estimated that fewer than 12 Doheny family-owned properties remain standing today, making this thoughtfully restored offering an exceptionally rare and enviable opportunity. This restoration was undertaken with the guiding principle that a home which has stood for 100 years should be prepared to endure for another century. With that mindset, the property was extensively modernized and structurally reinforced while honoring its historic integrity. Improvements include updated electrical systems, plumbing and drains, central heating, retaining walls, and roofing, along with extensive wood restoration and replacement. Unit A is a charming one-bedroom cottage with a unique history of its own, originally constructed as a carriage house and thoughtfully converted into a residence in the mid-20th century. Fully detached and rich with character, the home offers a cozy yet intentional layout that feels private and inviting. Period details, restored finishes, and abundant natural light give the space a warm, timeless feel, while modern system upgrades provide everyday comfort. Ideal for those seeking a low-maintenance coastal retreat, Unit A offers the rare opportunity to live within a piece of Dana Point history—perfectly suited for a tenant who values charm, simplicity, and architectural authenticity in a truly special setting.

The open-concept layout is designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable daily living. Residents enjoy access to premium amenities.
