Pros & Cons

Pros

Exclusive Oceanfront Community & Location: Located within the highly prestigious and coveted 'Oceanfront,' 24-hour guard-gated community of Ritz Cove, offering direct beach access and proximity to the Ritz Carlton Resort, Dana Point Harbor, and Lantern District amenities.
Extensive Luxury Amenities & Entertainment: Features include an in-home theater, a 3rd-story viewing deck with dumbwaiter access, a resort-style backyard with BBQ, spa, pool with water features and gas fire pots, and a stunning bar area with wine storage.
Gourmet Chef's Kitchen with Premium Finishes: The center island gourmet kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, Marmot Belgia Calcutta Marble counters, a 6-burner Viking range, Subzero refrigerator/freezer, three dishwashers, and a built-in coffee maker.
Advanced Smart Home & Modern Systems: Equipped with central AC, a central vacuum system, newer water softening and heating systems, Home Guardian Security Cameras, RING doorbell, and a Control 4 Smart Home System for integrated control of TVs, heating, lighting, and music.
Spacious, Meticulously Maintained & Private Estate: A meticulously maintained 7200 sqft residence with 5 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, featuring an open and bright floor plan, private manicured grounds, an end-of-cul-de-sac location, and an oversized 3-car garage with ample storage.

Cons

Limited Direct Ocean Views from Primary Living Areas: While in an 'Oceanfront' community with a 3rd-story viewing deck, the description does not emphasize expansive ocean views from the main living spaces or primary suite, which could be an expectation for a property of this caliber and location.
High Monthly Association Fees: The substantial $900.0 monthly association fee adds a significant recurring cost to ownership, which may be a consideration for some high-net-worth buyers.
Specific Architectural Style: The 'Mediterranean style' architecture, while well-executed, may not appeal to all luxury buyers, potentially narrowing the pool of interested purchasers who might prefer more contemporary or modern aesthetics.
