It is so close to the beach which made for an amazing time. We loved being able to walk in either direction through the neighborhood to grab coffee. We could walk down the path to get right to the beach and enjoy the afternoon with our family. There seemed to be parking available on the street most days but we had our own parking spot on site. It was a quiet neighborhood too. The property had what we needed. The host was extremely responsive and made our stay very nice. We would be happy to stay here again! ##### Angel R.

This location is close to the beach, pier and shops or you can just relax. It is neat and clean and has everything you need. Although it was warm when we were there, and there is air conditions available, the overhead fans kept it cool enough. My only suggestion is to replace the floor rugs and couches. They are past their prime but comfortable. ##### Kimberley G. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JONNA F., Martinez Aug 21, 2018 #### Really cute apartment and good location! We just finished our visit to San Clemente this month. (8/2018). We really liked the town of San Clemente with all the boutiques and nice places to eat! The apartment was clean, and as pictured. The kitchen had everything that we needed, and the owner was nice and left us some water, and allowed us to use the washer and dryer. Our only suggestion for improvement is to please replace the area rugs in the dining room and the living room. They have seen better days, and just look dirty. The air conditioner works great for the front of the apartment, but the bedroom gets quite hot! Even with all the fans going, it was still hot and stuffy in there. Another air conditioning unit in the bedroom would be perfect. The beach is very close, but it is quite Rocky and narrow. Not a lot of room for sunbathing right there. In general however, San Clemente is very charming and the beaches are beautiful! We will definitely return! ##### JONNA F. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Mike C. Jul 10, 2016 #### Nice property, nice location, Bob is awesome. Pros There was enough space for our family of 4. There was an air mattress and a couch for our kids. Walk to the beach is less than 5 minutes. The garage is stocked with surf board, boogie board, cooler, chairs, umbrella, bikes, and more. We used these items almost every day. Even if it gets hot during the day, keep the windows open and everything will quickly cool down at night. It took us 40 minutes to drive to Disney on a Tuesday morning. We left SC at 7am. Bob is fantastic. He always responds quickly and is a tremendous host. Cons The beach is beautiful but has lots of rocks. If you are not a seasoned beach person the rocks will likely hurt your feet. The Amtrak train runs frequently. If we didn't have box fans, it would have been difficult sleeping. The neighbors outside the master bedroom sometimes leave their exterior lights on late into the night. If you like sleeping in a dark room, you will need to figure something out to make the room dark...but if you do this, your air flow will be limited. Recommendation to visitors Bring 2 box fans. They help cool the home on hot days and provide white noise for sleeping at night. Bring swimming shoes so the rocks on the beach don't hurt your feet. We had good meals at these restaurants: Selmas Pizza, HC Cottons, and Avila's El Ranchito. ##### Mike C. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luna F. Jun 29, 2025 ##### Luna F.
