This is the second time we've stayed at Swedishfish and everything was as great as the first. Great location, top notch appliances and modern accessories, quiet, very clean, comfortable and just a hundred yards from some excellent seafood on the pier. Highly recommended!

Great place!!!

Great 1 bedroom just steps from the pier with an ocean view from the balcony. Very tastefully decorated and perfect size for a couple. Very nice touches included coffee, beach chairs, towels and even a boogie board. Shannon was quick to respond to any questions. Will definitely stay there again.

Perfect end of summer stay

We had an amazing experience at Swedishfish! The location, ease of communication, cleanliness and amenities were all top notch. We loved the quaint town and would return to this property in a heartbeat! Having easy parking, proximity to the beach and pier, and quick contact with the property manager took away any stress we had about visiting a new place. We were sad to leave!

Nice Rental

Our trip was nice. It rained and we stayed inside for most of our trip. Upstairs is also a rental, so be prepared for a bit of foot noise. Overall we loved the place!

Better than the listing!

Great place in an absolutely killer location for San Clemente, with an unexpectedly amazing ocean view. So close you can hear the waves! Shannon was the perfect blend of caring and available, yet fully invisible. No-brainer for a couple looking for a great spot on the beach.

Perfect Stay!

Fantastic location! We could sit all day watching the ocean from the perfect perch on the balcony. Not only is this rental in close proximity to the pier, it’s a few blocks from tasty restaurants featuring fare from around the globe. We enjoyed delicious Belgian, French, Italian and Mexican meals in just a few short days. Shannon, the host, was exceptionally communicative. Thank you! We can’t wait to get back to this gem in San Clemente!

Seaside retreat

The property was everything that was described and more. Very comfortable large bed. Apartment was spotless. Sea view. Around the corner from San Clemente pier less than 5 minute walk from the beach. Beach umbrella etc very useful. This all helped us to a very relaxing visit. Thank you so much to Shannon for her assistance during our stay.
