Beach Access Retreat_2 Bd, 2 Ba, Walk to the Beach

Newly REMODELED with added HOT TUB!

Located just one block away (less than a two-minute walk) from our beautiful beach and just a short walk along the sand away from the main pier area.

The house has beautiful dark wood flooring throughout and a great design with a gourmet kitchen including granite countertops and an adjacent great room living space and dining room.

The Primary Bedroom has a California King-sized bed with large-screen television and ceiling fan. It’s equipped with a newly remodeled bathroom featuring double sinks, and a large shower and has loads of closet space.

The Second Bedroom has a Queen-sized bed and a full closet, and has easy access to the shared full bathroom with a full-sized bathtub, and a rain head shower.

The patio area has a private hot tub, outdoor dining, barbecue, fire table, and also a seating area for relaxation while taking in the gorgeous beach climate.

Very centrally located a short distance from the beach and has easy access to a variety of local markets, coffee houses, and dozens of restaurants and bars.

PETS_We adore our dog so we do allow dogs and the back yard area is enclosed; but, we charge a $100 fee per dog, because they do require us to spend more time cleaning and add to the wear and tear on the property.

Please let us know if you plan to bring your dog and we will send you a request for that fee before your arrival date.

We also ask that you clean up all messes in the yard before your departure.

Perfect for our lovely week on the coast

This property in San Clemente made a great home base for exploring the area. The house is very comfortable for a family wanting two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The couch is large if you need more space. It has a very nice kitchen, dining and living area/seating, and our dogs really enjoyed the fully fenced/gated yard. The owners have thought of everything to make your visit very comfortable.You can walk to the beach/beach path or downtown San Clemente, and I-5 is accessible within minutes. Dana Point and Laguna Beach are right next door, so it is fast and easy to explore further and enjoy something new every day. Highly recommended!

Great Property

We had a very enjoyable stay at this property. It’s located in a very quiet neighborhood and within walking distance to the beach and downtown. Owner was very responsive to any questions we had. It also had parking for 2 cars in the driveway which is a big plus in San Clemente. We will definitely plan to stay here again in the future.

Great Place in a Great Location

From the safe, quiet neighborhood the the awesome prximity to a beautiful beach - this cute house was the perfect setting for our family's vacation. Skip was an very responsive property manager, and although the house has some wear and tear and cleanliness issues, overall, we were able to do some clean up and make ourselves right at home. We look forward to visiting again in the near future!

Wonderful home and location

The house is in a quiet neighborhood but close to the beach and downtown San Clemente. Try Nicks for dinner. Our dogs loved the completely fenced in yard. Very comfortable home with nice decor and a complete kitchen. Nice A/C. We have already booked for next summer.

Great communication with the owner and myself. House location is walkable to the beach and close to the shops. House was clean and exactly what I expected. Parking is hard to find in that neighborhood, so having a two car garage was a huge benefit. Also, full size washer and dryer came in handy. House was great we would stay here again.

Nice place to getaway in San Clemente - and pet friendly!

The house was a great size for a relaxing getaway for 2 adults. It would also be just as nice for 4 adults. We had our dogs with us too - they also enjoyed the property. The house is a short walk to the beach - down a steep hill - and a short walk to the centers of San Clemente - great place for cardio and to "get your steps in". :) The host was very accommodating and available.

Loved San Clementine VRBO house

We enjoyed our stay in San Clementine. Skip was an amazing host and the house was perfect. Our family loved the area and enjoyed the T-Street beach. The community uses golf carts to get around to shops, restaurants, and beaches. We rented a golf cart and truly enjoyed it. I definitely recommend renting one if going with a family. The house had everything we needed and we are already talking to Skip about booking 2 weeks for next summer. 1 week was just not enough. Loved, loved, loved, the house and the location. Thanks! Skip, See you next summer. The Baron’s

Airy Beach Getaway

This property was everything we hoped it would be! Pictures really dont do the home justice. It's spacious and well appointed, but also cozy. A deal breaker for me with rentals is outdoor space, because i love to sit outside, especially in the morning. The patio space on this home is lovely, with 3 different areas to sit and read, drink coffee, or enjoy the fire table. The kitchen is lovely and had ample dishes, pots and pans, and even spices in the pantry. Also convenient were the multiple beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and beach towels available. We made use of everything! The beds are amazingly comfortable as well. Would definitely return!

Perfect spot for a winter getaway with our pup

Really enjoyed our stay here at this San Clemente gem. Great neighborhood and overall vibe of this nice beach town. Literally a block away from the beach access and a great trail that went all the way from South San Clemente to North San Clemente that allowed bikes and dogs as well. Skip was great and responsive when we had a small issue with the bicycle that was at the property. He came and picked it up had it fixed and brought it back the same day with a second one as well. Also, he received a low battery signal in the access keypad and was there very quickly to rectify the situation so we were never affected by it and could enjoy our stay. He respected our privacy but still handled business what more could you ask. We also had a chance to meet him while we were there and seemed like a great guy. Can’t say enough about the location of this house. So close to the beach and also walking distance to almost anything we wanted in town including the main downtown. Lots of good food handy in a beautiful beach town where you feel safe and weather was perfect made for a great trip. Highly recommend!
