Beautiful condo with comfortable beds and lovely porch. We loved that it came with beach towels, umbrella, and chairs since we were traveling from out of state. The location is also unbeatable, an easy walk to the beach or town. A lovely relaxing stay.

Really fantastic property and vacation town

My family and I stayed here for the first time and truly enjoyed our entire stay. The property is clean and up to date. The location is absolutely perfect. Shannon is terrific and I truly appreciated her warm welcome and friendliness. She was so helpful and really made us feel welcomed. I can’t wait to come back again.

Amazing spot for Family Vacation

We absolutely loved our stay at this condo. San Clemente is a safe, cute beach town and the location of this condo is perfect. You’re steps from the beach, ice cream, coffee, restaurants, etc. I love the quiet mornings on the patio listening to the ocean. It was better than we expected and truly had a blast!

Best stay in the pufferfish

We had the best spring break in the pufferfish with our two young kids. We’ve been coming to San Clemente for years and this is by far the best rental we’ve ever stayed in! Clean and cute and you could not ask for a better location. Also, super comfy beds. Hope to be back soon!

Pufferfish home away from home!

My family and I absolutely loved our stay at Pufferfish! We had a blast! Hiking on the San Clemente Beach Trail, Hanging out and Bodyboarding at the Beach, taking Trolley Ride to the Outlets and relaxing on the patio was all part of our weekend at Pufferfish. Grilled Steaks with Loaded baked potatoes was one of the meals on the patio deck! Would definitely recommend a stay at Pufferfish!

Great location, great host

We had an amazing stay in San Clemente. The unit isn’t huge but it was very comfortable and clean. It worked very well for our family of 5. The unit has all the basic needs covered and it’s great to be able to walk to the beach and the pier. There are great places to eat and shopping nearby that are also very walkable. The host was in constant communication with us to make sure we had everything we needed.

Super cozy baby house steps away from San Clemente pier.

Shannon was amazing and started communication with us about the property before we left and then made sure that we had everything that we needed during our stay. The Pufferfish property is really well put together and worked well for the 5 of us for the 4 nights that we stayed and we will definitely be back. The property is conveniently located steps away from the beach but it was never crowded or loud. The beds were comfy as was the couch but we spent most of our time enjoying the beautiful city. We absolutely love San Clemente and Dana Point and we have always stayed in hotels but not anymore. This is the only way to go.

Very Clean, Beautiful View, Great Location

Pufferfish was perfect for our long weekend. The pictures represent the actual location. The space was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was brand new, fully stocked with all that we needed to cook, and the owner even had many condiments available to save us a trip to the store. The owner even provided enough k-cups of coffee for us to use for the entire weekend! The beds were comfortable. The shower was fantastic with a large shower head and ample hot water. The owner provided large bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash which was very thoughtful. The patio was larger than expected with a comfortable sectional, dining table and an outdoor grill. The view was beautiful and you could hear the ocean waves from the patio. We would also open the patio door to hear the waves while we were sitting inside. The check-in instructions were very simple to follow and even included easy-to-follow pictures. We were one block from the San Clemente Pier and a very short drive to fun restaurants and local shopping. This was an excellent choice for us. Thank you Shannon for taking such great care of us!

Delightful stay

This property was absolutely amazing. The location can not be beat. Walking distance to the pier and tons of restaurants and shops. Comes with everything you need for a beach vacation including chairs, towels and bogey boards. My kids can't wait to come back.
