Welcome to your peaceful retreat in the prestigious 24/7 guard-gated community of Ritz Pointe. 56 Corniche Drive, Unit J is a top-floor Monarch Hills condo offering 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in a premier Dana Point location. This light-filled residence has been thoughtfully cared for by the same owner for 28 years and features fresh paint and carpet just completed in September. It was fully re-piped in 2024, and the heat pump, air conditioning, and water heater have all been replaced within the past three years for added peace of mind. A spacious balcony provides a peaceful place to relax, with an unobstructed panoramic view and ocean glimpses on clear days. Inside, you’ll find a comfortable layout with walk-in closets in both bedrooms, a fireplace in the living room, and galley-style, functional kitchen. The washer, dryer, and refrigerator are included. Ritz Pointe residents enjoy access to resort-style amenities including a pool, fitness center, clubhouse, and three spas, one with expansive ocean views. A nearby walking and biking trail winds through Monarch Beach Golf Course and leads directly to Salt Creek and Strands Beach. With close proximity to Dana Point Harbor, local dining, and world-class resorts, this home offers a quiet and convenient lifestyle by the sea.
