North Beach retreat w/ AC & balcony

    San Clemente`s coastline has a way of slowing everything down - the kind of place where mornings stretch longer and evenings feel earned. From this three-bedroom retreat, the beach is steps away, the coastal trail runs right past your door, and the rhythm of the day is yours to set. Whether you`re here to surf, explore local cafés, or simply sit on a balcony with the sea breeze coming in, the setting does the work.

    Living spaces
    The open layout draws you in from the moment you arrive, with vaulted ceilings giving the space a generous, airy feel. A 65` TV anchors the living area for movie nights, while the front deck - fitted with lounge seating and a gas BBQ grill - pulls the gathering outdoors just as naturally. Two private balconies offer fresh air and a place to settle in at any hour. For year-round comfort, the home is equipped with central air conditioning, central heating, ceiling fans, and an indoor fireplace - rare and welcome features for a beach property. High-speed Wifi, an Ethernet connection, and a dedicated workspace in a common space keep things running smoothly for anyone who needs to stay connected.

    Sleeping arrangements
    The home sleeps up to 10 guests across three bedrooms. The primary suite offers a king size bed, a private balcony, a 50` TV, and a full ensuite bath. Bedroom 2 is set up with one queen bed and one double bed, while Bedroom 3 has a queen bed. The living room also features a sofa bed, offering additional sleeping space for guests. Throughout the home you`ll find bed linens, extra pillows and blankets, and room-darkening shades to help everyone rest well.

    Kitchen & dining
    The fully equipped kitchen has everything needed for cooking from scratch or keeping things simple. A refrigerator, freezer, stove, oven, microwave, and dishwasher are all on hand, alongside cooking basics, dishes and silverware, a drip coffee maker, wine glasses, a toaster, blender, baking sheet, and barbecue utensils for the grill. The dining table seats six - a comfortable setup for shared meals before or after a day at the beach.

    Bathrooms
    Two bathrooms are stocked with essentials including shampoo, conditioner, body soap, shower gel, and a hair dryer. One bathroom includes a bathtub for a longer soak after a day on the water.

    Outdoor & beach access
    Shared beach access is just steps from the front door, putting the sand and coastal trail within easy reach. After time on the shore, come back to the private patio or balcony, outdoor dining area, and outdoor furniture. Beach essentials - including beach towels, umbrella, beach blanket, and snorkeling gear - are included for your outings.

    Additional amenities
    An in-unit washer and dryer add practical convenience for longer stays. A Pack `n play/Travel crib is available upon request. Safety features include exterior security cameras (Ring Doorbell, garage-facing camera, and a camera covering the steps to the front door), a smoke alarm, carbon monoxide alarm, fire extinguisher, and first aid kit. Two free tandem driveway parking spaces plus free street parking are available. The home is accessed via a private entrance.

    Location
    Sitting in one of San Clemente`s most walkable coastal pockets, the home puts cafés, surf spots, and local dining within easy reach on foot. North Beach access and the scenic coastal trail are just outside - a natural starting point for mornings before the town gets going.

Had a great time at this property. The home was very clean, comfortable and well maintained. The beach was right around the corner and we felt safe and comfortable walking there and in the area. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed relaxing on the patio. We cooked a couple dinners and breakfasts in the kitchen. It had everything we needed and then some. Would definity stay there again. The host, Mike, was great responding to our messages before and during our stay!

Amazing Beach House!

This house is wonderfully set up to host families with all the bells and whistles. They had a play pen and high chair for the baby we had and lots of beach toys available. We even met the owner who was wonderful! They had plenty of supplies and check in/check out were very easy. Highly recommend! This was our 3rd year staying at this property for our summer vacation and we will keep coming back :)

Great vacation!

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay in this condo in San Clemente! Location was very accessible to the beach trail and coastal views. We had plenty of laundry detergent and dishwasher tablets to get us started. The condo is exactly as listed. We had a small issue with one of the TV's and they were very prompt in getting it fixed! The large and comfortable porch was one of our favorite parts of our stay!

Our best rental ever

This rental was the best rental that we ever stayed in. Spent 3 nights here and the family loved it. The beach is literally steps away. 7-11 and a French bakery are literally steps away. Everything was perfect, property had everything we could ask for. Clean beds, 2 huge private balconies (not all have 2 balconies) with grill and lots of seating areas. Kitchen , living room, bathrooms all perfect. The only thing I would warn you about is the LONG staircase to the property (which I personally love because I miss exercising) but if you don’t like stairs, don’t rent this. By the way, the laundry detergent is hidden under kitchen sink, which we didn’t think to look until it was too late. If you have kids, this is a perfect adventure. I highly recommend this property.

Family vacation

Stayed for 7 nights, two adult children and their spouses. Pros: Very Clean, great bed linens, extra towels etc, one block from the beach, has some small restaurants around the area, at the start of beach walking trail, one mile to the pier. Cons: Very old and worn kitchen skillets, no lids, would be great to have better cooking vessels to make eggs/omelet etc for breakfast, no electric kettle. There were beach towels, but no chairs or any beach toys, would be nice to have for out-of-town guests. Lots of steps but we knew that going in. Need to have better instructions on how to open and close the front door, we learned it after many trials.

We loved our stay at this home. This home in San Clemente was perfect for our son's wedding at the Casino. It was convenient to everything in the area, with a trolley stop nearby to reach the main street and pier. The house was extremely clean and welcoming. The communication was excellent and on point with everything we needed, including during a power outage on the morning of the wedding. We will be back for anything in San Clemente.

Joyful stay

My family and I enjoyed this property because of its location and the spacious living room and balcony. The house was clean, updated and equipped with all toiletries and cooking supplies. The beach was short walk and there was a cute French cafe along the walk that was tasty and quaint.I recommend this property for your next beach stay.

Good property for families except for the number of stairs to reach your unit. The restaurants and beach were in walking distance as well as some hiking trails. Great playgrounds for the young ones. Great restaurants for the parents. We loved the ability to park the car and enjoy the ambiance and the recreational options.
