Diane has thought of all the little details that makes a stay at her property enjoyable and stress free. It's clean and convenient. If you like a short walk to the beach and easy access to downtown then you will enjoy staying here too.

An Absolute Dream Stay at La Paloma!

Our stay at La Paloma was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully curated to make our vacation effortless and unforgettable.The location is unbeatable — just a short, easy walk to the beach, which made daily trips to the ocean a breeze. We didn’t even need to load up the car, which was a huge bonus, especially with kids in tow. Plus, the nearby shops and local spots were charming and convenient, offering everything from coffee and treats to unique souvenirs.The house itself was incredibly accommodating. Spacious, beautifully decorated, and filled with every amenity we could possibly need (and more!). Whether it was the fully stocked kitchen, cozy lounging spaces, or the little touches throughout, it truly felt like a home away from home.One of the biggest highlights was how family-friendly the property is. There were activities for kids of all ages — including ping pong, beach gear, and entertainment that kept everyone happy and engaged. The attention to detail was remarkable.La Paloma truly thought of everything to make our stay comfortable, relaxing, and fun. It’s rare to find a place that checks every box, but this one absolutely did. We’re already planning our return!

Family Vacation

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Comfortable, clean, well stocked! The location was great, you can walk to the beach as well as the Main Street with the restaurants and shopping. Diane was the best host. Very easy to reach and quick to respond. We would love to stay again on our next visit to San Clemente.

Another great stay!

This is our second stay at this wonderful house and we can't say enough about the experience! The location is walking distance to the beach and so close to a range of restaurants and shops. The house is clean and stocked with just about anything you need - from the fully stocked kitchen where you can actually cook a meal to laundry detergent and paper products to get you started to plenty of beach towels. Garage is loaded with chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and more. Street is fairly quiet with typically neighborhood traffic and people walking to the beach. We can't wait for our next visit.

What a lovely spot for a beach getaway

Diane's home truly feels like a home. She's thought of everything: plenty of towels, comfortable beds, a fully stocked kitchen, well-appointed bathrooms, plenty of off-street parking and even a live orchid on the coffee table. My 84 year-old mother said that this is the nicest rental home she's ever stayed in and she's a world traveller. We will definitely be back!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Diane's house is beautiful and comfortable and we wanted for nothing! Really appreciate that we didn't have to lug two pack n plays from AZ for our kids, too! The highchair was an added bonus. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the patio and enjoying the weather. We're already talking about coming again.

Great vacation property

Our week visit to San Clemente was fantastic due to how great this vacation rental was! Fully stocked and very comfortable for our family of 4. The large patio was our favorite spot to hang and enjoy the perfect weather. Our kids loved the garage, equipped with a ping pong and foozball table, boogie boards and sand toys. Diane has thought of everything!

Great location in a magical community

Walkability, great amenities/supplies and a quiet neighborhood are the keys to this San Clemente rental. We had no issues with our upstairs neighbors at all, but note that the sound travels easily. If you’re a noisy brood, plan to stay elsewhere to maintain the quiet all around you. The patio was excellent!

Loved every minute of our stay.

Diane was wonderful to work with. She always replied quickly to the few questions we had. The property was perfect for our family of 5. Enough room for all of us and walking distance to the beach. I love San Clemente and Diane’s home allowed us to really experience it all. My whole family agreed it was the best beach trip we’ve done so far. We will definitely return again. Thanks Diane!

About the host

Hosted by Diane

We went to the beach in San Clemente for many years when our three sons were growing up and have many fond memories. We love the area and feel fortunate to have a home here. We live about twenty minutes away and love coming here. When we retire it is totally possible that we will move here.
