Andy Stavros of Douglas Elliman of California Inc. represented the undisclosed seller. The undisclosed buyer was represented by Lisa Simmonds of Century 21.

Stavros listed the property at 67 Monarch Bay Drive on Aug. 8, 2024. The house finally sold on July 28 for $4,438 per square foot.

Its community amenities at Monarch Beach include access to the local beach club, tennis courts and golfing. Dana Point Harbor and the Waldorf Astoria are also nearby.
