Guest Access:

Take a stroll up the street to our charming downtown village, where you'll find a variety of boutique shops, several world-class restaurants, a cozy wine and cheese bar, a local playhouse, a retro candy store, and a farmer's market every Sunday morning.



Alternatively, you can walk down the street to explore the beautiful beaches, the pier, a beach running trail, and seaside parks. If you prefer to stay in the condo, you can enjoy a relaxing day with a gentle ocean breeze and peaceful evenings watching stunning sunsets.



The area near the pier, just a 2-minute walk away, offers everything you might need, including restaurants, convenience stores, great coffee, and delicious treats. You can also catch the free San Clemente hop-on hop-off trolley from here, which will take you up the hill to Avenida Del Mar, where you can enjoy more shops, restaurants, outlet malls, and another farmer's market.



The Neighborhood:

The location is in the San Clemente Pier Bowl, which resembles a charming Spanish-style walking village. Here, you'll find small cafes, an excellent coffee shop, ice cream, a convenience store, and two fantastic restaurants. Additionally, there is a waterfront park and a beach walking trail. During your stay, you could easily get by without using your car at all.



Getting Around:

You can easily walk to almost everything you need or take the free seasonal trolley to reach even further destinations. Here are some highlights:



- Main Beach at the pier: 2-minute walk

- Over 30 different restaurants: 2 to 10 minutes away by foot

- T-Street for boogie boarding and surfing: 5-minute walk down the beach trail

- Coffee shop, ice cream parlor, convenience store, and pizza place: 2 minutes away

Other Things to Note:

- Please remember that you are staying in a house, not a hotel. We ask that you treat the space with respect. If any problems arise, we will do our best to address them as soon as possible, but please note that no one lives on-site 24/7.



- Strict quiet hours are in effect from 10 PM to 8 AM.



- This condo is part of a fully soundproofed 6-unit building, with all six units owned and operated by us. Five of these units are one-bedroom, and we also have a studio. If you need multiple units, please let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate you. This is condo #1 of 6.



- We allow up to 2 pets (or 3 if they are all small) with prior approval. Most breeds are acceptable as long as they are quiet and well-trained. Our pet fee is $20 per night per pet. We have a small "dog park" on-site, and San Clemente is a pet-friendly area!



- The unit is limited to a maximum of 4 guests. For each additional guest beyond three, there will be a charge of $25 per person per night.



**Unit Privacy:**

- There are security cameras in the outside common areas only (none inside the units).

- We have decibel sound meters in the kitchen and balcony areas of our condos to monitor any violations of our quiet hours. These devices do not record or listen in any way; they only measure the overall noise level (Noise Away Brand).



We also have a 3-bedroom and a 2-bedroom condo available for rent right on Avenida Del Mar in the heart of the downtown village. Please click on my host's picture or message us to see our other listings.

We had a wonderful 5-star stay! The location couldn’t be better—very close to the beach and town, with beautiful ocean views. We walked to the beach and the town multiple times each day with a toddler and infant to give an idea of how walkable the area is. The unit was stocked with everything you could possibly need for the beach, which made traveling with young kids so easy. The ocean was perfect for our family, and the free trolley access made exploring the area a breeze without ever having to use our car. The Murphy bed was a fantastic feature, giving us two king-size beds so our family of four was very comfortable. We will definitely stay here again!

Great place and location

We had a great stay at this condo, the views of the ocean were relaxing and the location was perfect - just a short walk to both the beach or to some great shops and restaurants downtown. The condo had everything we needed and the hosts gave us some great food suggestions and were very friendly.

Long Weekend in San Clemente

Condo was clean and in great shape. Owners were quick in their replies to our questions and concerns. The included amenities were great. We were able to use the included bicycles and beach chairs. Even tried out the Murphy bed one night and that was comfortable. We definitely rent this again when in town

Great location to be near the beach

It was quick 2 night visit, which made the penthouse perfect. Checkin procedures were very quick and easy. The owners communicated all the information we needed. The condo was only a couple blocks from the beach. It was great having dedicated parking because that can be a problem in that area. Condo had all the amenities you could want.

Penthouse Oceanview 1Bedroom Condo

The property was very much as described. It was perfect for 3 adults. The Murphy Bed is so comfortable, which was a surprise. The location is perfect, and having an assigned parking space is huge given how difficult it is to get parking in the area. My family says we should come back!

Clean condo

Rented this condo for 2 nights for a quick weekend trip, condo was clean, well organized, and very accomodating. The location is the main selling point since its a quick walk to the beach. balcony is nice since you can see the ocean clearly. price is not cheap but you pay for the great location, view, parking, and cleanliness.
