YOUR SPACE
Experience coastal living with a touch of Mediterranean style. Step out to your PRIVATE DECK to take in the OCEAN VIEW, or fire up the BBQ for your seaside meal. Head inside to a space inspired by a modern Greek villa, featuring white porcelain floors, a real white leather sofa and subtle blue accents, reminiscent of the Aegean sea. The open layout allows the family room to flow into the kitchen, creating a comfortable place to cook and relax together. Ocean breezes and a mix of ceiling and portable fans keep the space cool and comfortable throughout your stay. In the evenings, unwind by the fireplace while enjoying your favorite shows on the smart TV, or relax on your deck with your favorite beverage.

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 around the corner to the sand and trail, and it places you just 2 minutes from the pier and to our 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.
Guests enjoy complimentary beach gear:
• Surfboard
• 2 Body Boards
• Umbrella
• 2 Beach Chairs / Beach Towels

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.

NEIGHBORHOOD
We are set in a friendly, laid-back neighborhood just north of the Pier Bowl area, where you'll blend in with locals. This location offers a retreat away from the congested and loud, tourist-filled areas—yet it’s close enough to walk to the pier and beach, or to downtown boutiques, restaurants, coffee houses and cafes, anytime you like. A convenient neighborhood market, San Clemente Ranch Market, is just a short walk away for quick essentials; Ralphs is a full-size market for heavier loads, and is a few minute's drive into town.

KITCHEN
The custom kitchen with beautiful walnut cabinets is well-equipped with quality appliances and amenities, including a dishwasher, microwave and range with convection oven, etc. You’ll find what you need to cook with ease—pots/pans, drip coffee maker/filters, spices, paper goods, cleaning supplies and food storage essentials. Enjoy your meals on the beautiful Eucalyptus table, a perfect spot to dine and unwind, and the table also doubles as a perfect work space if needed.

BEDROOM
The bedroom is a welcoming retreat designed with your comfort in mind. It features a KING BED, perfect for a restful night’s sleep. A large window fills the room with natural light and welcomes in ocean breezes. BLACKOUT CURTAINS ensure you can sleep in peacefully. The bedroom also offers direct access to the bathroom for added convenience. A spacious, MIRROR LINED CLOSET is perfect for STORAGE and makes it easy to confirm you’re lookin' good. The six-drawer dresser further enhances the available storage space. Each side of the bed includes a nightstand with a READING LIGHTS, and convenient USB and USB-C charging ports for your devices. LUGGAGE RACKS provided add extra convenience and help to keep things tidy. For quiet evenings, relax in bed and enjoy a movie on the SMART TV, or don one of the PLUSH ROBES from the closet and head back to the deck to be lulled by the sound of waves.

BATH
The Greek-inspired bathroom features white pebble floors and an easy walk-in shower. A DOUBLE-SINK vanity provides plenty of space and convenience when sharing the bath, while a LIGHTED MAGNIFYING MIRROR makes it easy to get ready with precision. Designed in a Jack & Jill style, the bath offers convenient access from both the bedroom and the family room.

COMPLIMENTARY LAUNDRY
Our complimentary on-site laundry is just a quick 5-second stroll from your front door, with two washers and two dryers that are nearly always available - plus free detergent - so you can keep your clothing and towels feeling fresh all vacation long. While we don’t offer daily housekeeping, you’re welcome to toss in a load whenever you like. If you prefer, we can happily arrange housekeeping during your stay for an additional fee.

And since sandy toes are part of the fun, there’s a hose station just around the corner from the laundry room - perfect for rinsing off beach gear and yourself before heading back inside.

SHOPPING AND RESTAURANTS
Just a few blocks from Casa Mariposa, you’ll find a charming downtown area filled with stylish boutiques, surf shops, 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. A short stroll will take you to the pier, where you can soak up the sun and ocean breeze, try your hand at fishing, or unwind with a meal at the beloved Fisherman’s Restaurant.

WHY SAN CLEMENTE VS OTHER LOCATIONS?
Many travelers fall in love with San Clemente’s quaint, small-town charm - the kind that’s hard to find in nearby coastal cities. Unlike the busier scenes of Dana Point and Laguna Beach, San Clemente has a true heart and soul, where you can stroll to local shops, grab dinner at family-owned restaurants, and actually feel part of the community. Dana Point, Laguna Beach & San Juan Capistrano are just a few minutes’ drive away, perfect for day trips to explore their attractions. 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

About the host

Hosted by Sheryl Leverich

Host profile image
Doug and I are San Clemente natives, who've spent our entire lives surfing San Clemente. In 1999, we purchased this 4-unit condo, that offers spacious decks with ocean views, is a 1 minute stroll to the beach and to our beach trail. Of the four units, we live in one unit, two are vacation rentals and the fourth is home to our long term renter.

Why they chose this property

Ocean view & gorgeous interior, and is VERY close to beach & beach trail, & close to shopping & restaurants. NOT in the congested pier bowl area.
