San Clemente’s signature palm-covered umbrellas line San Clemente State Beach (.2 miles away - walking distance), providing a sense of tropical serenity to your visit as you relax in the shade. Volleyball nets and fire-pits for roasting marshmallows add to this beach’s charm. Be sure to take a walk along the historic San Clemente Pier where you will see fishermen casting their nets and if lucky, you’ll spot some dolphins or whales. Grab some clam chowder while at the base of the pier or stop by Fisherman’s Restaurant. Great surfing at this beach is a given. Note: Dogs are not allowed on the beach or on the pier, but there are great walking trails for Fido all along the beach. (See San Clemente Coastal Trail - directions) While on the walking trail, keep your eyes open for hidden painted rocks, painted by local artists! You might also find these hidden gems in Downtown San Clemente (see directions), the quintessential California beach town!

Great Vacation Spot!!

Everything about our stay was great! It was the perfect size for three adults with three beds. The pull out and the couch were both comfortable as well as the bed. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the necessities for basic cooking. The porch was very nice with a beautiful view of the ocean as pictured. It was a short walk down to the beach and pier with access to shops and restaurants as well as close to the downtown shops that were also walkable. San Clemente was also super cute in general. The neighborhood was safe, walkable and it was really just fun to walk around and check out the houses and views. The TV had lots of channels to choose from and was easy to use. We also appreciated the access to a washer/dryer and lots of beach toys, such as chairs, towels, boogie board, etc. The owners were responsive and friendly. Overall it was a great place to vacation at!

Really nice and close to the beach

I thought the place was perfect for us. It was my daughter and I, and my mom as well. She took the bed and my daughter and I shared the pullout. It was a five minute walk to the beach and restaurants. There was also a fully stocked kitchen, which we used to cook dinner one night. It had a very nice size bathroom as well. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a beach side place to stay.
