Custom 3000 square foot home located in San Clemente's pier-bowl/downtown Del Mar area, just steps from the sand, dining & shopping. Ideal for single and multi-generational family vacations!
Walking distance to everything! Walk to the beach in 3 minutes, stroll to the pier in 5. Many great surf breaks are right here - you can be riding your first wave in less than 10 minutes from walking out the door! This wonderful home is situated less than two blocks from all the boutique shops, wine bars and excellent restaurants on Avenida Del Mar - San Clemente's charming "downtown" area.
Central location for exploring southern California by car. Located right in the middle of Los Angeles and San Diego (approx. 45 minutes either way). Disneyland, Legoland, Sea World, and the San Diego Wild Animal Park are all within a short drive. Short walk from the house to the Metrolink train station at the pier (4 min).
This is the ideal family vacation home! Two INDOOR swings with full range of movement located in a large upstairs playroom with vaulted ceilings. Dedicated kid's art room. Dozens of board games, dress-up clothes, toys etc. Upright piano. High-speed wireless internet. Two large HD wide-screen TV's (one downstairs with cable TV and one upstairs with a Sony PS3 system).
Outside we have a fun 60-foot zip-line and two-story playhouse for the little ones. Elevated patio/lounge area with pergola and oversized hammock. Exterior hot water shower for rinsing off after the beach. Soft learner surfboards and plenty of boogie boards and sand toys for all.
Peak ocean view from one of three upstairs balconies. State-of-the-art large professional kitchen with top of the line appliances. Beautiful old-growth cherry hardwood floors throughout entire house. Two full baths upstairs, 1 1/2 baths downstairs. Oversized double-head shower in master bath.
Beds: Sleeps 7 to 12 comfortably in beds – 1 King, 1 Queen, 3 Twins, and 1 Toddler Bed. We also have a comfortable down-filled couch in the office/4th bedroom that is twin size. Two additional Queen-sized raised AeroBed air mattresses will be supplied (they are very comfortable!). All of the bedrooms are large and can easily accommodate one of the Queen AeroBeds.
Backyard: The backyard is 900 square feet and consists of irregular stone with grass in-between the stones, large natural gas grill, a 2-story playhouse in one corner, the pictured deck with arbor on the other side, and outdoor shower and zip-line just around the corner (zip-line goes down one side of the house and ends at the arbor). The lighting is great at night with dimmable controls. We also have a copper firepit that can be moved to wherever you need it to go and a picnic-style wood table with benches if you need extra seating to eat or play cards outside. If the nights get a little chilly there is a movable restaurant-style propane fueled outdoor patio heater.
Beach trail: San Clemente completed building a great pedestrian beach trail just a few years ago. It runs all along the coast for about 2.2 miles and can be accessed just down the steps from the house. At the north end of the trail is North Beach - here you can rent bikes for use around town and on the trail. At the south end of the trail is Calafia State Beach with world famous surf break Trestles a little further beyond.

Great Beach Vacation House

The house is beautiful, very convenient to the beach and to downtown, and full of toys for the kids. We had a great stay with our two kids (who are 1.5 and 3.5 years old).

Our 3 generation family of 9 stayed here for a week. The house proved to be everything that was advertised and so much more. The fully equipped kitchen was a complete delight to cook in, the play room and craft corner were a daily adventure for our 20 month and 3 1/2 year olds! In short we took advantage of all the amenities and everything this house had to offer. The Sunday farmer's market was a great treat and we found a small park close to the beach that the little ones loved. We would certainly recommend this house, the cool weather and the San Clemente area for everyone.

This home by the beach was MORE than we could have asked! Spotlessly clean, magically furnished for children and adults alike, spacious rooms with all the amenities, and a lovely garden retreat. Our family of 12 (children, parents, grandparents) were in heaven for the week! Two blocks from the San Clemente pier and beach, and two blocks from downtown. The owners were a joy to work with, friendly and helpful. We look forward to a return trip!

We stayed at Tim & Cathy's home for 10 days and enjoyed every minute of it. The house was set up perfectly for our family of 5. The kitchen is equipped with every piece of cooking equipment you could need, and the house has plenty of toys to keep our young children entertained when we weren't at the beach. The house is within walking distance of the beach and downtown San Clemente, and we enjoyed on Sundays the Farmer's market just a couple blocks away. We would recommend this house to anyone!

Best Beach House for Multi-Generational Family Vacation!

Review Submitted: 04/08/10
Best vacation we ever had in San Clemente because of this fantastic beach house! Our family of 4 (two daughters, ages 3 and 6 1/2), grandparents and my brother and his wife were very comfortable in this lovely, airy, spacious, clean, completely stocked house. Our daughters were delighted (& kept busy!) with the art/crafts nook off the living room, the large boxes of Kapla blocks in the living room, and the fabulous play area upstairs with the indoor swings. Shelves are filled with a wonderful collection of children's books. The kitchen is a gourmet cook's delight with professional appliances and utensils. Beautiful master bedroom suite with ultra comfortable king bed and large shower (and cute toddler bed). Charming children's bedroom with 2 twin beds was ideal for our daughters. Grandparents were comfortable on queen bed in other bedroom and sharing full bathroom with our daughters. Brother & wife slept on queen air mattress which set up easily and comfortably in office. Pocket door & regular door enclosed office and full bathroom from kitchen creating a suite. 1/2 bath outside this downstairs "suite" convenient for rest of family. The home is in a quiet neighborhood with everything we like to do within walking distance (or a short drive) - surfing (Trestles) & beach, yoga (AsanaFit), grocery shopping at Trader Joe's, shopping & dining on Del Mar. We lacked for absolutely nothing during our stay because of the Mashburn's attention to detail. A binder with laminated instruction sheets had excellent local restaurant recommendations categorized by "with kids" or "without kids." Thank you Mashburn family - we will never stay anywhere else in San Clemente!

This house was perfect for our family of 5. Large bedrooms, great common space, a fully equipped kitchen, quiet neighborhood, steps away from the beach and downtown San Clemente...we couldn't have asked for a better situation. The house was impeccably clean, with lots of toys and beach equipment for our three kids, ages 6, 4, and 1. Should we come back to the area, we would definitely want to stay at this house again!

AMAZING HOLIDAY

Without a doubt the most amazing family home ever! We had the best holiday with the wee ones and friends from the UK. We (parents and kids) were entertained every second of the day with all the wonderful toys, the beach, the surfing, the back yard apres surf drinks and dinner. My husband and I actually found the holiday easy, relaxing, effortless...with little kids, holidays are not normally easy. Tim and Cathy's house was a dream holiday come true. The house is immaculate, luxurious and every aspect of the house is paradise for both adults and children. Just go, dont hesitate. Its worth every penny. Go now!

We rented Tim and Cathy's home the week before Memorial Day this past year and we ere not disappointed at all. We have 2 young daughters (3 and 5) and let me just say that the play area for the kids and backyard play house were awesome. Also the layout of the home lent itself to a very relaxed and comfortable week. We used the beach everyday and it is very close to the home. We love the town also very nice and quaint. Tim and Cathy also allow you to use their beach equipment. Will definitely be staying here again. Thanks Tim and Cathy!
