Why the Owner Chose San Clemente
As a child growing up, my family, along with my grandparents, would rent a small apartment in San Clemente for 2 weeks every summer. We would surf-fish early in the morning with our grandpa, swim, run the beach or up the hills, walk around Del Mar, eat out and have a grand time. In 1988, my parents moved to San Clemente and my husband and I would come to visit, enjoying all the same activities in a down-to-earth atmosphere. Years later, we decided to build a home right next to my father so that we could enjoy San Clemente with our children and their grandparents, just as I did when I was a child. This is our dream beach home (no more 7 people sharing 1 bathroom), close to the ocean with a comfortable atmosphere.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our home was built for our family, not with rental in mind, so you will enjoy the luxuries created for my family, not a place to "herd people through". We designed the home to enjoy with family and friends, creating open spaces to congregate and private room retreats when a little privacy is desired. Each room was specially appointed with a purpose-some for children and their friends, others for adults. Gourmet meals can be served on lovely dinnerware, platters etc. or paper plates can rule the day. Whatever is your family's delight. Then step out the door and walk 2 blocks to the beach.

Very comfortable

Review Submitted: 09/03/11
We had 10 folks (six adults, four kids) and we all fit nicely in this beautiful, comfortable house. The beds were comfortable, the master bathroom luxurious. Kitchen utensils all good quality and stood up to our preparation of three meals a day for 10 people. Walk to the beach is not bad at all, the beach chairs and umbrellas were a nice surprise to find in the garage. Thanks for a great stay!
Owner response:Thank you so much Meg. We hope your family returns soon.

"The vacation was great, and the house was a large part of that. We had everything we needed at our finger-tips. Walking in the front door was a delightful moment, not at all diminished as we saw the other rooms. As one family member said, 'We just walked into House Beautiful.' I wanted to honor my brother and his wife with the master suite and the room was more than I could have possibly anticipated. Thank you for all the extra and thoughtful touches. We did enjoy the beach equipment and gear provided. The weather was nice as well. We all have wonderful memories and I would recommend your place to anyone. Thanks so much for providing your gorgeous home!"

Our family has been coming to San Clemente for over 20 years and as our family has grown over the years, we found the Kamel house to be a perfect fit! It was a beautiful home with very many luxury items to enjoy. Most rentals do not supply the greatest kitchen items, but the Kamels provide the best of everything. The house is very close to the famous T-Street beach and we loved how spacious each room was. The house was very clean and decorated like a luxury hotel! We can’t wait to go back! Thank you Kamel family!

My husband and I brought our three daughters, their spouses, and two grandchildren to this great house, and everyone had plenty of space! It provided a definite happy ambience, with its colorful decorating, and it was very comfortable for all. It was nice to sit down to family dinners all together! We appreciated the access to beach chairs, etc. It was a memorable week for us as a family.

Our family loved our stay at the beautiful Kamel Beach House. The house is creative and colorful. We enjoyed every little detail put into the decor and amenities. It is steps from the beach, pier, and dining. It is the perfect spot in beautiful San Clemente! We can't wait to go back!

We rented this beautiful and superbly decorated home near the ocean from the Kamels for a mini family reunion. The home is very comfortable, new and clean. The kitchen and bedrooms have everything you will need for your stay. We now have a new favorite beach town in Southern California and a favorite home to rent. I've rented from VRBO 7 times and this is by far the nicest home we have stayed in.

I stayed at this beautiful home with 4 friends. It was a team building/bonding vacation (shopping) and we had a ball! The home is large, luxurious and offered privacy to each of us. I would highly recommend this rental over my usual stint at the St. Regis in Laguna nigel!
