Sand-Level Modern Living at Laguna Sands

The most interesting properties in Laguna Beach right now aren't the ones with the biggest square footage. They're the ones where every surface was chosen with intention, every line drawn with purpose, and the architecture itself frames the ocean rather than competing with it.

1585 S. Coast Highway #47 belongs to that category. Inside Laguna Sands, a gated oceanfront community recently transformed by a multi-million-dollar renovation, this 2-bedroom residence has been completely remodeled to deliver a contemporary, design-forward coastal experience. The result is something Laguna Beach produces rarely: a turnkey modern home directly on the sand.

A Study in Contemporary Coastal Design

The remodel of #47 was executed with restraint. Floor-to-ceiling La Cantina sliders open the entire living space to the Pacific, letting the architecture disappear when the doors are pulled back. Wood-look porcelain tile flooring carries throughout, a deliberately neutral foundation that allows the ocean to remain the focal point.

The kitchen continues the modern vocabulary: upgraded cabinetry with clean horizontal lines, Italian porcelain countertops and matching backsplash, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances. The primary bathroom is a spa-inspired composition with a large walk-in shower and dual vanity sinks. The guest bath includes a tub and shower combination, dual sinks, and a stackable washer and dryer integrated into the design rather than tucked away.

LED recessed lighting and ceiling fans throughout maintain the bright, airy ambiance. The primary suite includes mirrored wardrobe doors with custom closet systems. For buyers who want air conditioning, approved, permit-ready plans are available, removing the typical permitting timeline from the equation.

Laguna Sands, Reimagined

The interior renovation of #47 is paired with a community-wide transformation. Laguna Sands recently completed a multi-million-dollar renovation that elevated the entire property to a contemporary standard, positioning it alongside the most elegant beachfront communities in Southern California.

The updated amenities include a newly renovated oceanfront swimming pool, two expansive community terrace decks with sweeping coastline views, refreshed common areas, gated entry, and subterranean parking with elevator access. Unit #47 features direct access to one of the renovated terrace decks, complete with lounge furnishings, barbecues, and fire pits. The experience reads closer to a private resort than a traditional condominium building.

On the Sand. In the Village.

The address itself does the work. Laguna Sands sits directly on the beach in the heart of Laguna Beach, with the Surf & Sand Resort immediately adjacent. The Laguna Beach trolley stop is positioned directly outside the building, providing easy access to downtown and surrounding areas. Walking distance to the village means walking distance to Laguna’s art galleries, restaurants, boutique shops, and the cultural rhythm that has defined this coastal town for decades.

Few addresses in coastal Orange County combine direct, sand-level oceanfront positioning with walkable village access. Most are one or the other.

A Different Category of Inventory

The Laguna Beach market in 2026 includes a wide spectrum of properties at the $3M to $4M price point. Hillside homes with ocean views. Inland Village cottages. Older condominiums that need work. Each of those has its own appeal. None of them are direct sand-level oceanfront residences inside a renovated gated community, fully remodeled, turnkey, and optionally furnished.

At $3,495,000, 1585 S. Coast Highway #47 represents one of the more accessible entry points currently available for sand-level oceanfront Laguna Beach residency. For buyers drawn to contemporary design who want the ocean as a daily presence rather than a periodic visit, the residence offers something that doesn’t come to market often.
