Steps from North Beach and its trail, the location puts the shoreline within easy reach without sacrificing the comfort of a well-equipped home.

Living space Central air conditioning and central heating - a rare combination in a beach home - keep things comfortable no matter the weather. The living area is set up with a TV, Wifi, and an Ethernet connection, and there`s a dedicated workspace in a common area for anyone who needs to stay connected. Room-darkening shades, extra pillows and blankets, and a ceiling fan round out the comfort details.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was clean, location was good and had everything we needed. Our only complaint was that we could hear the guests above us walking around.
This property was amazing. Communication was perfect as well. We stayed two nights with our large family (6 kiddos) and there was plenty of room as advertised. Thank you so much for a great stay!!
The property was in a great location. Very comfortable beds! The patio was amazing. We had cold weather so we’re not able to use it as much as we would have liked. I will stay here again!

Beautiful place
My family and I loved the all the amenities. Beach stuff in the basement worked out great. 3-4 min walk to the beach. The house was very spacious and comfortable. We would love to come back next year
This was located perfectly for our family. We love walking/hiking and the trail was a great way to get out and be near the beach. There was a cute French cafe right across the street for our coffee, and the beach access was just a few hundred yards away. Plus they had all the amenities we needed, including beach towels. Thanks!
Thoroughly pleased with our stay, plenty of room for the 5 of us. The location was great, short walk to the beach, outlets and restaurants. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you need for cooking in a well. Be aware that this is not a stand alone unit, you can hear people walking around above you, but didn't bother us as they were in bed early.

Can't wait to come again !
Plenty of room for our family of five which includes two teens and our 20 year old Marine. The place is clean, spacious and the owners have thought of everything. Plenty of kitchen supplies, towels and really comfortable beds. Spent lots of time on the outdoor patio. We especially enjoyed the short walk to the beach and the chairs in the garage came in handy.
Nice neighborhood. Approximately a block from North beach easy walk. Several eating establishments within walking distance. House was clean. Beds are comfortable. Furniture in living room has a lot of wear. The dryer to dry clothes did not heat up.

Thank you, Diana, for your feedback. We are happy you enjoyed this home. We sincerely apologize for the issues you have encountered during your stay. We will continue to work with both our local staff and homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you.
The property was clean and had the necessary utilities. It was spacious and relaxing. The location was ideal walking distance to the beach and the trolley to get into town for free. Check in and out process was seamless. There was more beach toys and chairs than expected (boogie boards, chairs, umbrella, coolers, and a wagon). I would recommend this for any group or family!
We loved the layout of the rental, loved having two bathrooms, loved the balcony, loved that there was designated parking, loved the location, loved that there were plenty of towels, loved the COMFORTABLE beds, loved the extra bed in the loft. If we're ever in San Clemente again, we hope to stay here!As mentioned in some other reviews, the dryer didn't heat and the tv wouldn't stream. If you need a DELICIOUS Italian meal, go to Sonny's. If you want some delicious fish tacos go to Sancho's Tacos. If you're at the rental on a weekend you can take the San Clemente Trolley to the Pier or up to Historic Sand Clemente.
Very nice and clean.. Property Manager Elise with Vacasa was very sweet. She knew it was my daughters birthday and had a nice gift, card, snack and balloons waiting when we arrived. It was very nice and made my daughter feel special. There was tons of beach supplies for us to use which made it nice. The closest beach is nice with many activities, and beautiful with fire pits, and only a 2-minute walk, but it is made up of bigger stones not sand. You need to go to the next beach for sand. We would definitely return. San Clemente is very nice.

Great place but don't stay until construction is done
Place was great until the next day we found out that there was construction of a new home next door. I called the property manager and she told me that it wasn't their problem. I asked her why I want informed about it and she retired the same thing! So for the entire stay we didn't have any peace during districting times and we couldn't enjoy the balcony given the noise and dirt coming over since they were digging right next door.

We are sorry this was not the vacation that you planned for. We apologize for the construction, but sometimes the HOA unexpectedly schedules it to beautify the property. We hope you will let us host you again soon!
This is a duplex. Unit A is the first floor above garages, with another rental, unit B above. The left garage has wagons, sand toys, boogie boards, lots of beach chairs, and a beach umbrella for each rental. The kitchen has everything you need to cook. Furniture was all comfortable. The dual head shower was great. TVs included an extra HDMI cable to connect your own streaming box or game console. Our only complaint about the home: we could hear the upstairs neighbors a lot. Bedrooms are upstairs and right below the living room of upstairs unit, so we were kept up by late-night adults talking, and woken early by early morning toddlers running around. The listing mentions no street parking, but that's not true. It's just hard to find available street parking. A note to anyone looking to play in the sand and shallow waves - San Clemente is not for you. All the beaches we visited were a mix of sand and smooth gravel. Look to Oceanside or anywhere from Laguna Beach to Huntington Beach if you want smooth sand. Even if you bring water shoes, waves throw rocks at your ankles.

A Great Place with some Significant problems
Initially we were very happy with the property, but as our stay continued some major issues came up. Some of them were outside the control of the owners, but they should have been disclosed in the listing.
Pros:
-Very comfortable living space. The couch is big and great for lounging.
-Very clean upon arrival
-Wifi was fast and easy to use
-entry to unit was easy and had no issues
-the AC worked perfectly
Cons:
-property right next door is under construction (Jack Hammering outside the master bedroom at 7:00am) and will be for at least another year. I wouldn't expect it to be completed until August 2020.
-The unit is a condo and there is very little insulation between this unit and the one above you. Fortunately our upstairs neighbors were family quiet but if a loud party is up there it will be a nuisance.
-The beds are highly uncomfortable. Not everyone in my party had as much trouble sleeping, but I woke up both mornings with back pain.
Notes:
-I listed Communication as a 3 because we didn't need to contact the owners so it was neither good or bad.
-I listed Location and Neighborhood as a 3 because I really liked the location of the condo, but the current state of the neighborhood (construction) was a major negative. Also the closest beach, the one in walking distance is almost entirely rocks (vs. sand) and was not good for families with young children.

We are sorry to see you had some disappointments with your stay. It is true there is construction next door, and we do not know how long it is expected to last at this point, but we have been told longer than a year is unlikely. Thank you!
