Beach Getaway

Everything was perfect. We enjoyed sitting on the patio watching the ocean and all of the activities below us. We enjoyed many walks on the beach and the Pier. Our host was very helpful with information about the area. We would stay here again.

Absolutely Perfect

Starfish was absolutely perfect. The furniture, linens, kitchen items were all thoughtful and of good quality. The view and location can not be beat. The host, Shannon, was gracious and attentive without being intrusive. We are already planning a return stay.

Great Condo in Perfect Location

Starfish is everything it is reported to be and more. The location is second to none, the manager is very easy to communicate with and very responsive! The decor is as shown in the photos. Our favorite part of staying here was the location and balcony with view of the beach while having coffee in the morning, reading during the day and a glass of wine watching the sunset. We love SC and would definitely rent Starfish again! Highly recommended.

Amazing Anniversary Trip!

This was an amazing property! It was close to everything.... Shops, train, free trolley, beach, restaurants. We saw the sunset every night. You can see it from the balcony. It was literally the perfect weekend getaway! I highly recommend. Shannon is an excellent host and communicates promptly. She was so attentive to details which made our stay so enjoyable. Thank you! I hope we can stay again sometime in the future! promptlyacommunicates

Perfect beach getaway

Exactly what we were hoping for. This property has a gorgeous view of the pier, beach and ocean. Property manager (professional & friendly) met us in person for check in, made sure we knew where everything was and even communicated via SMS to make sure we were enjoying our stay. Walking distance to food, drinks, beach and surrounding neighborhood. Everything inside is updated and modern. A lot of kitchen supplies also if you choose to cook. A/C works great in the main area but does have a hard to helping in the bedroom. However this is usually not an issue with average San Clemente weather (we happened to be there on a 90+ degree weekend). Lots of TV choices (no ESPN) and standard internet access. If you want a great balcony to enjoy and easy access to all that the San Clemente pier has to offer then this is a fantastic option!

Perfect gem in San Clemente

The location was perfect and the property was pristine! We loved our stay and would definitely come back. Everything you need is available to have a perfect beach vacation. The only thing was the shower water pressure was not great, but not the end of the world. The host/manager was also so awesome and met us at the property to show us everything!

The Perfect Beach Stay

We absolutely loved the property. The location was so perfect, just a street from the pier! Not having to worry about finding parking was so nice. The property is very modern and clean and done super well. Also Shannon was a wonderful host— super timely responses and gave in depth information about everything so you don’t feel confused when you arrive😊. We thought that Shannon did a great job of thinking of everything you might need and then providing it! We will definitely be booking another stay in the future and recommending to our friends and family.
