About this property

** Summer Fun: San Clemente's Treasure By the Beach**

Long time VRBO with fantastic reviews from happy guests, under new ownership and committed to providing the same positive experience!

Large 1-Bedroom - professionally decorated, outdoor living space, modern, hip, clean, comfortable and private!!

Best kept secret by the beach!!! AMAZING Value - INCREDIBLE Location - Air Conditioning (Rare at the Beach!)

One of a few properties in the area that has been permitted and approved by the City of San Clemente for short term rentals and VRBO.

Beach style Dutch Door leads you into an adorable and private apartment from your charming patio, with dining for 6.

For days when you don't feel like heading to the beach, enjoy a 37" HDTV Flat Screen, DVR, modern (and very hip) electric wall fireplace, gorgeous high end custom art, great furnishings, a chrome 1960's circa Swedish mid-century dining set, new high end wall air conditioner unit, sectional sofa, recliner chair, ceiling fan, recessed lighting, fireplace and TV. All have remote controls for your ease and comfort!!!

Open floor plan which offers a FULL Kitchen (very 'beachy' and cottage style) complete with large stainless frig, micro, full size oven/stove, floating shelves, recessed lighting.

Very well stocked... Spices, coffee Filters, etc.

French Doors lead you into a cozy master bedroom retreat. Mirrored night tables, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, leather padded queen bed with down comforter and high end bedding. A very peaceful retreat that is very comfortable and quiet. Comfy Serta Queen Bed, TV with remote.

Bathroom is very Pottery Barn Feel!! Beautiful chandelier, glass floating shelves, stand-up 4-ft shower (no tub) pedestal sink, 1920's style white floor tile. White FLUFFY towels, toiletries. So comfy!!!

We also have VRBO # 1337665 (UPSTAIRS UNIT)

The previous owners took great care in restoring this historic building and creating a fabulous vacation getaway close to the beach, train station, trails, local restaurants, and many of the wonderful treasures San Clemente has to offer!!!

Garage - Professionally Designed - Spotless

MORE cost effective than a hotel room and so much MORE to offer. Your private oasis by the beach awaits you! Monthly rentals available by special request.

FANTASTIC VALUE AND REASONABLE PRICE!!! If you LOVE artistic, unique, private, positive energy, happy, super clean, cool, and comfortable then this is for YOU!

NO COOKIE CUTTER HERE!!! VERY UNIQUE!!!

PLEASE NOTE: WE DO NOT OFFER PRIVATE VIEWINGS OF OUR PROPERTIES. WE HAVE A POLICY OF NOT DISTURBING OUR STAYING/PAYING GUESTS. WE ALSO HAVE A 90% BOOKING RATE. OUR PHOTOS REPRESENT OUR PROPERTY WELL. THANK YOU KINDLY FOR UNDERSTANDING...
_______________________________________________________________________________
The Pros (... and there are many!!!)
1. Immaculate, High Quality Furnishings, A/C
2. Private, Romantic
(It is quiet, snugly and very secure in our special compound created from this original 1928 two-story home. When built it had a killer ocean view and there were no other structures for blocks.)
3. Historic - She is a historic treasure and a real gem!
4. 3-minute walk to north beach
5. Indoor washer/dryer
6. Large Private Outdoor Living Space!
7. Enclosed Garage - Very Rare!
8. Professionally Decorated

The ONLY CON... For you non beach dwellers
Our garage is on an alley... she isn't pretty but she takes you to our garage... which is good, right? But once you enter the garage, then into your adorable and private patio... you are in your own snugly sanctuary!!

The reality of San Clemente, like all old Southern California beach communities was designed with an alley system that stretches from North to South. If you walk 2-minutes around the corner to the beach, but are not sure of the idea of an alley, (even safe ones like ours), you probably will want the newer part of town. (Let's face it, alleys are meant to be functional.)

That choice will not have an enclosed garage, will be further from the sand and you'll pay PREMIUM PRICES for a 'Typical Well-Used' and Sparse vacation rental with little charm.

If you LOVE...

Comfort

Being Just Steps from the Sand
Knowing your car is safe and secure in our 2-car garage, then welcome!!! You are in for a Treat!!!

Amazing experience, darling condo!
This is one of the cutest places I’ve stayed. Great location!! Steps away from the beach, coffee is a few steps away. It was really nice having laundry in the unit, a huge fridge, all the cookware you need. The lighting was great too! The manager responded back immediately. I will be back soon! A++++

San Clemente Getaway
Our little beach oasis was perfect for our little family. Perfect location for a quick walk to the beach and the amenities it had were amazing. Easily fit our little family in there comfortably for 4 nights. Able to cook in the kitchen and did t have to bring our own beach stuff which was a big plus. Property owner was very responsive and helped set us up for a great vacation.

Quaint getaway
Just a quaint getaway, it was my daughters birthday and wanted to get out of town. Perfect little place, close to the ocean, good restaurants and shopping. Only with the trains operated more frequently than once or twice a day. Would stay here again.

Cute Bungalow in great location
Well worth the price point and very clean. Very tiny so ideally one person. As many reviews point out parking in the garage is a major challenge. However, during my stay, the upstairs rental had a full size SUV and I had a BMW X3 considered a small suv. We got it done by the full size pulling in right up inches from right side wall and both vehicles closing the rear view mirrors in. I am 5Ft 2 and 150 pounds and elderly. I was just able to shimmy out driver side. A man deginetly would have to exit passenger side. The alley is clean with no homeless however a half way house is a few doors down and a casino is at the end of the alley. I met some wonderful neighbors walking my dog and was told overall safe. Very very quiet and very easy to get on/off US 5.

About the host

Hosted by Samantha

Host profile image
We have lived in Southern California for years and love the small town feel San Clemente's 'little village by the sea' offers. It's the perfect mix of friendly and down-to-earth. Everyone who is fortunate enough to visit, will find amazing restaurants, tiny outdoor cafes, shopping, hiking, beautiful scenery - everything you'd want on a vacation. Unlike other places along the coast, San Clemente has an actual downtown (Del Mar Ave.), as well as world renowned surf spots!! (I learned to surf right down the street!) Old and young love it here and share a bond of pride for this little piece of Paradise! The beauty and heartfelt friendliness make this the perfect vacation stay. Once you arrive you never want to leave!!

Why they chose this property

Bought this 1928 building because the moment I stepped foot inside, I immediately connected with the peaceful and happy energy that envelops this space. I learned the previous owners remodeled it and when they weren't living there, they started renting it on VRBO. It is one of the first homes built in the village and one of only a few legal VRBO places available to rent in San Clemente's North Beach. I love the idea of continuing the legacy that the prior owners created and sharing this cheerful and special place with travelers who want very nice, clean, and safe accommodations that feel like home.

What makes this property unique

The garden apartment is Modern and clean! It is very unique and peaceful. You feel very safe and sequestered inside it's walls....... Our location is really great being so close to the beach, public transportation, new restaurants, THE NEW BEACH TRAIL, the 1933 CASINO AND OLE HANSON WEDDING VENUE, Ole Hanson public pool, the new San Clemente Outlets, the trailhead walking stairs/ trails. If you chose to skip a car, you could walk pretty much everywhere... We love it's charm. And the fact that it has all brand furnishings and appliances. New and VERY VERY CLEAN!!! You may speak to owner in regards to amenities and pets.
