'Casa on Cazador' California Beach Home

Experience the ambience and comfort of a fine hotel in this lovely beach home just steps from the classic San Clemente pier. The Spanish-style three story attached home is a beautiful example of San Clemente's rich heritage. A stroll through the neighborhood of stucco homes with red tile roofs is a pleasant reminder that pioneer founder Ole Hanson's dream of a 'Spanish Village by the Sea' lives on today.

A four minute walk to the pier reveals a stunning view of the famous San Clemente white sand beach that invites sunning, sand-castle building, body surfing, and boogie boarding by day. By night, relax around a roaring fire at one of the many beach fire-pits after watching the sun set over the majestic Pacific Ocean as it drops behind Santa Catalina Island. Any hard core surfers in your group? Bring your boards, wet suits, and take on the challenge of the best surf California offers at the Pier, T Street Beach, or the renowned 'Trestles'.

Just a five-minute walk to Del Mar Street and you're amidst shopping options galore from swimwear to antiques, trendy boutiques and jewelry shops. There's an 'aha' moment for every shopper's pleasure. Shopping not on your agenda? Then pamper yourself with a treatment at one of the many spas and salons at your service. Excellent eating ranges from the five-star White Horses Restaurant across from the pier to local favorites such as Italian Cravings, Billy's Deli, The Beach Garden, Avila's Mexican Cantina and the Beach Fire Grill.

Casa on Cazador is an inviting location to hold a family reunion, a group get-together or a gathering of almost any kind. The spacious landscaped backyard and patio are a perfect setting for a reception or celebration. 'Relaxed charm' exudes from the tasteful eclectic interior decor where both adults and children will find places to retreat, rest and relax.

Exit the living room through the double French doors to the ocean view deck with table and chairs, wicker furniture conversation area and gas cooking grill. The family room/den includes an efficiency kitchen with sink, small refrigerator and appliances.

The spacious upstairs master suite includes a reading area and library in addition to the king size bed, while the master bath offers both a jetted tub and separate distinctive glass block shower.
