SPACE Relax on your spacious PRIVATE DECK, complete with a comfortable lounge area, umbrellas, OCEAN VIEW and a BBQ, or unwind indoors where every room showcases the same ocean backdrop. The indoor-outdoor design is bright and airy, highlighted by a classic Dutch door that enhances the beachside charm. Inside you'll find a WELL-APPOINTED KITCHEN, large dining table, real leather sofas, two smart TVs, KING bed, built-in DESK area, his-and-hers bathroom w/ deep soaker tub, ample STORAGE throughout and an original restored 1960s furnace for heating and timeless character. Enjoy the natural comfort of ocean breezes flowing throughout, complemented by ceiling and portable fans keeping you cool throughout your stay—classic of a coastal experience.
THE BEACH / BEACH TRAIL WALKING access to the beach and beach trail is available through several nearby entry points. I recommend The Linda Lane Beach access point, just a leisurely 8-minute walk to the sand and trail, and it places you just 2 minutes from the pier and to the iconic Fisherman’s Restaurant. From there, continue walking on the beach or beach trail, which continues south – round trip is approx. 4 miles.
NOTE: The access point in front of our property is currently inaccessible at the bottom, as the city is upgrading that location. Your view remains exactly the same as shown in photos.
Our beaches are ideal for sunbathing, people watching, relaxing, reading, swimming, surfing, bodyboarding, fishing, and stand-up paddling.
San Clemente is home to several renowned surf breaks within walking distance: T-Street, 204’s, Riviera and Cottons. World-class surfing at San Onofre and Trestles—officially the home of the 2028 Olympic surfing contest—is just a 10-minute drive south.
At low tide, the reef in front of the property reveals a vibrant tide pool ecosystem, featuring starfish, sea anemones, sea urchins, mussels & snails.
SHOPPING AND RESTAURANTS WALKING just a short stroll to the pier, enjoy a meal at our Fisherman’s Restaurant while taking in the sunset. And just a few blocks from away, you’ll find our charming downtown area filled with stylish boutiques, surf shops, coffee houses, antique stores, and a diverse range of local and international dining options. Every Sunday, the Farmer’s Market brings the community together with stalls featuring unique souvenirs, local art, and freshly harvested organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
WHY SAN CLEMENTE? - Heart & Soul! Many travelers fall in love with San Clemente’s quaint, small-town, beach charm - the kind that’s hard to find in the much busier, nearby coastal cities. Unlike the far more crowded scenes of Dana Point, Laguna Beach and Newport Beach, San Clemente has a true heart and soul – we are actually a walkable town, where you can stroll to local shops, grab dinner at family-owned restaurants, and actually feel part of the community. These other destinations are just a few minutes’ drive away, perfect for day trips. After, head back to San Clemente to unwind in a more relaxed, authentic, small beach-town atmosphere.
DAILY ADVENTURES NEARBY San Clemente enjoys a perfect location, halfway between San Diego and Los Angeles—each about an hour’s drive away. Both cities are accessible via a short walk to the train station, so you can explore during the day and return home for a refreshing swim.
• Popular theme parks such as Disneyland, SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, Knott’s Berry Farm, and Legoland are all within an hour’s drive.
• Day trips via Amtrak. For a relaxed coastal journey, hop on the “Surfliner Amtrak” train from our pier and enjoy a scenic, coastal one-hour ride to San Diego, Del Mar Racetrack, or Petco Park. Heading north, you can reach Angel Stadium with ease or LA.
• Dana Point Harbor (currently under renovation for restaurants/dining 2025) just a 10-minute drive north, offers deep-sea fishing and whale watching opportunities. You can also rent kayaks, jet skis, and sailboats.
• Catalina Island - just a 1:20 minute boat ride away - is a great day trip for Island shopping restaurants, beaches, unparallel snorkeling and diving and bar hopping. Be sure to book tickets well in advance, especially in summer.
• Golfers? We have multiple private and public courses, many with ocean views.
• Nearby Laguna Beach is famous for its stunning coastline, vibrant galleries, art festivals, and the annual Pageant of the Masters held in July.
• Big Bear Ski Resort is a two-hour drive away, making it a perfect destination for a day trip or overnight getaway.
• Day-trip to Temecula’s Wine country.
• Explore historical San Juan Capistrano’s Mission; a 10 minute drive north

Omg! Sheryl is the hostess with the mostest! Her arrival instructions were spot on, the unit we stayed in was better than the pictures and the place was spotless when we arrived.
I'd give it 10* if that were an option. Amazing view, cleanest rental I've ever stayed in, close to everything and walkable, beautiflul beach just a few minutes to walk, great restaurants. Loved walking the beach trail. Highly recommend.
This property is very clean and well appointed. The hosts are very accessible and responsive. While the beach access was not open on our visit, the sound of the ocean is very apparent from this property. The pictures on-line are true to your view. Very nice. We enjoyed our stay very much. We hope to visit again. :) :)
Sheryl’s place is the perfect spot to stay for a visit to San Clemente. Spotless, comfy bed, and beautiful views. We enjoyed the gas fireplace on cooler nights. Easy surfing/boogy boarding right out the front door. And quick strolls to town. Would definitely stay again.
We loved the place. Good location, clean, great view. but the shower was sooooooo dangerous and when you're at the beach, you need to shower. They really need to do something about it before someone gets seriously hurt.

I'm happy this guest loved the space. My listing accurately describes a deep soaker tub - which perhaps she glossed over - that most guests enjoy. As such, the lip of the tub is a bit higher than average, and is described as "potentially not suited for people with limited mobility." Additionally, there are grab bars and an anti-slip pad provided, if needed.
Perfect location with the beach just down the path. Nice quiet neighborhood.
The hosts, Sheryl and Doug are wonderful people!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Apartment is not as advertised. There is no beach trail at all. No beach access by foot. You have to drive if you want to go to a beach or the pier or shopping/resturants. There is no A/C which by itself is okay in that there are ocean breezes that help a lot but the windows must always be open which means hearing the Amtrack train at all hours and multiple times during the night along with the noise of very close neighbors. The apartment itself is very very nice. It has a nice ocean view and private single garage. Very nice beach going chairs umbrella and cooler that we took in our car to the beach. Would be nice to have some beach towels also.

I am very troubled by this review as I strive to provide an experience that matches guest’s expectations. As accurately indicated at the very top of my listing, the city of San Clemente is improving the beach / trail access point that is located directly in front of the building, so it is temporarily closed. While there are multiple alternative routes, the closest is just a short 8 min walk to Linda Lane beach access point, which is sometimes preferred, as it an easier, less steep access the beach / trail. At this point you are also closer to our beautiful popular pier. Respectfully, I strongly disagree you could have experienced anything near a 2 star experience, even if you failed to read our accurate detail listing, being in our beautiful, meticulous maintained, thoughtful amenities, perfectly situated ocean view unit, listening to the ocean waves each day.
We only stayed for two nights, but we had a wonderful time and loved the location and the absolutely beautiful accommodations! The beach is only steps away, the view is fantastic! Great dining and fun within walking distance. Hosts provided everything we needed and we lived the on site parking. Great quiet place!
Our stay was very enjoyable. Accomodations and location were great. We waked to the beach, pier, restaurants and shops. The view from the deck was fabulous and the host was very accommodating. Couldn't ask for more!
Great location, steps from the beach and beach walk. Great view. Unit was clean and was even prettier than the pictures. Easy check-in and great communication. Highly recommend, would go back again!
Lovely apartment with a wonderful view of the ocean. Very nice owner/managers who live in the unit above. Comfortable bed and furniture. We would stay here again.
The apartment is even better than it appears in the photos. The patio was great and furnishings extremely comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and nice to walk in. We had a great experience with the check in. Extremely kind and timely communication with our host. Thank you for such a great stay! We wished we could have stayed longer.
Extremely clean and well equipped with all the essentials. Great location with views of the water and very convenient walking to beach, pier and downtown shops and restaurants. I highly recommend this unit!

This property is absolutely stunning from top to bottom!
I stayed at Casa Mariposa with my Mom and sister for Mother’s Day weekend and it was perfect even with the rain on Friday! The place is immaculate and has everything and more that you can need! It is very nicely decorated and you can beat the views! Sheryl is very attentive and responsive. My mom and sister want to make this our annual vacation spot for Mother’s Day weekend! We just loved everything about it!!!

Great home
We had a fabulous time, and your home was perfect! Kids played the games/puzzles that you had stashed. And all of the beach chairs, umbrella and bag were so handy! Everything was very comfortable. Loved relaxing on the huge deck and listening to the waves! I’m looking forward to coming back and recommending your home to our friends!
