Summertime

The condo was amazing. Had a nice little backyard. We had two little dogs. It was very convenient. We walked all the restaurants on the beach. They provided all the beach, chairs, towels, and umbrella umbrellas, which was very nice for us and it was very quiet at night we would highly recommend staying here.

Perfect Getaway

I traveled to San Clemente with 3 friends to play pickleball, and it was the perfect location. We walked to the beach, coffee shops, stores, and restaurants. It was a short drive to Life Time to play pickleball on their beautiful courts. The trip was better than anticipated! We all loved our stay. Thank you!

Wonderful accommodations & attentive hosts!

We come to San Clemente multiple times per year to visit our daughter and her family but this visit we were also brining my father-in-law and daughter-in-law and needed quite a bit more room. This condo was perfect! Clean and spacious with a spot-on location, and the hosts were very attentive and available for any questions. And they left wine! Highly recommend. And if we ever need a larger space to visit we will definitely be back here again.

Our stay at Casa Del Mar was absolutely perfect! The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to the beautiful San Clemente Pier beach, and surrounded by an incredible selection of restaurants all within walking distance. It made exploring the area so easy and enjoyable.The condo itself felt like a full-on beach resort. Every amenity we could have possibly needed was already there, which made packing and planning for the trip incredibly simple. It was comfortable, beautifully maintained, and truly felt like a home away from home.Pete and Cathy are outstanding hosts. Communication was top-notch from start to finish, and they went above and beyond by sharing local tips, activity updates, and some great restaurant recommendations that we ended up loving!Our family had an amazing time and created priceless memories that we’ll cherish forever. We’re already talking about our next visit—can’t wait to come back!
