Casa Clemente is situated among many wedding venues, including Casa Romantica, which is just two blocks away, and Casino San Clemente, just 5 minutes by car.

Stops for the free local trolley (available from Memorial Day through September) and regional trains are also a short walk away, making a car almost unnecessary even for those who want explore beyond San Clemente’s core attractions. The home is right off the I-5 in between Disneyland and Legoland, making it the ideal location for those who want to visit those attractions but still come home to a comfortable, quiet beach home.

Casa Clemente, built in 2018, has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as a fully-stocked kitchen, a family room, and a rooftop deck. One bedroom with a queen sized bed and 40” 4k smart TV is on the first level, immediately adjacent to a full bathroom. The other two bedrooms are on the second level. One serves as a family suite and includes one queen bed, a bunk bed nook, a 40” 4k smart TV, a full bathroom, and walk-in closet. The other is the Master bedroom, with a king-sized bed, a full bathroom, 40” 4k smart TV, walk-in closet, French doors, and a balcony with a partial ocean view.

The family room is equipped with a surround-sound 65” 4k smart TV with Blu-ray player and streaming services. The family room’s French doors lead to the first level balcony with a partial ocean view and a two-burner propane Weber BBQ grill.

On the rooftop deck, you will find a seating area, chat table, drink cooler, Garlando outdoor foosball table, and a sunset bar. On one side, you'll have ocean views, while on the other, the San Clemente hillside.

The tandem garage fits two cars, with room for an additional car in the front driveway. The garage also has surfboard rack and a wetsuit hanging station.

Beach supplies (beach chairs, towels, beach toys, umbrella, boogie boards, metal detector, and ice chest) are provided.

The home has free Wifi internet access as well as hardwire Ethernet plug-ins throughout. USB charging stations for mobile devices are located in each bedroom. Stream your favorite shows or movies (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc.) in the family room, or any of the bedrooms.

This house is a dream! Plenty of space, champagne in the frig and snacks as a welcome, lots of light, clean and absolutely walkable to everything. The host checked in a few times and was communicative through text during our stay. The roof is beautiful!!! We used this for our getting ready as our wedding was at casa romantica and it was perfect. Quick walk to venue and town. Ability to have guests come by or family. Easy to park and locate. Highly recommend and I would stay here again with friends while in town.

We LOVED being at Casa Clemente. The location is fantastic -- easy walk (even with a double stroller) to both the beach and the restaurants/shop. The house is decorated beautifully, well equipped and very comfortable. The hosts are wonderful. We will book again.

My bridal party and I had so much fun at this adorable San Clemente house. It was so close to everything we needed to get to, we even walked a good chunk of the wedding weekend activities. It was so clean, affordable, and the owner is super communicative. The fireplace was amazing and each bedroom was so clean and ready for us right upon arrival! I highly recommend this spot for any stay, vacation or celebration!

Great space & location

We were able to host Thanksgiving dinner for 10 easily! The beds were comfortable & the house had all of the supplies needed for cooking meals & for the short walk to the beach. One of our sons took the train up from San Diego and got off right down the road from the house. Rob was very communicative!

Amazing Stay-cation

Highly recommend this home. Every aspect of the rental was on point. The unit itself was immaculate and had everything we needed, and more, for a weeks stay. The layout was conducive for two couples and 'tween' kids having both space and together time. The location was ideal as we did not use the car to get to the beach or for going to eat or shop. And finally, the owner Rob was super responsive to questions and maintained great communication from booking through post-stay. Will definitely be back!

Casa Clemente Early October 2020

This was a really enjoyable long weekend trip for my wife's 60th birthday. We could not have been more pleased with Casa Clemente. If comfort and cleanliness are important considerations for you then this is the place to stay in San Clemente. The home itself is really pretty with all modern and efficient amenities. Beautiful decor, beautiful furnishings and REAL serving ware. Honest to goodness plates and crystal. All bedrooms are very nice with really comfortable and new bedding (mattresses are really nice). Bathrooms are a designers dream. The unit is an overwhelming positive. The owners are very responsive and were quick to respond to any off our inquiries. If there was one critique it would be to create some low level lighting on the upstairs, outside patio. It's fantastic up there but in the evening its simply too dark to be comfortable up there. All in all a great location - maybe not quite as close to the actual beach as described - but great appeal, great furnishings, great comfort and great hosts. We'd do this again in a flash! Jeff & Sheryl and Celeste and Cindy!

About the host

Hosted by Rob Fabela

Host profile image
Being able to rent out Casa Clemente is a dream come true for the Fabela family. Although they raised their family in the San Francisco Bay Area, their annual family beach trips to Orange County were always a highlight of their summers. They had always dreamed of someday owning an Orange County beach home like those they had rented for their own family vacations for so many years.

In 2012, they invested in one of the last empty lots available near downtown San Clemente and after years of working with their architect, contractor, and local planning officials, were finally able to complete their Spanish-style two-unit project in 2018.

Although the project was originally intended to be a vacation home only, the family could not resist the lure of San Clemente once the duplex was completed. So the family uprooted from the Bay Area, and moved into the back unit to begin a new chapter in their lives. The front unit, Casa Clemente, is now available for others to experience all that San Clemente and its beautiful beaches have to offer.
