Enjoy a beach break at a family-friendly condo that celebrates the beach! You'll perk up after travel immediately when you step inside this condo full of natural light and casual beach decor. Chill out on the private furnished patio, or break out the private gas grill for a delicious dinner. The main area is separated from the bedrooms by a door, so you'll be able to head off to bed peacefully. If you want an even deeper sleep, just pull the room darkening shades closed. Guests can also enjoy access to a shared outdoor pool during their stay.
It's just a short walk from the condo to the beach and the San Clemente Pier - it's a very walkable one-third-of-a-mile! Guests can connect easily to the San Clemente Beach Trail. Rent a bike from Urban Bicycle Outfitters (one-and-a-half miles away) to coast along the trail with ease. Enjoy an early dinner at Pierside Kitchen & Bar two blocks away, or take in something sweet at La Galette Creperie.

The couch was filthy windows had cracks and some no screens parking was a nightmare
I am asking to get some of cleaning deposit back since they offered to come clean couch while I was there but should have been done prior
I have a very disappointed I thought your properties had higher standards
Still waiting to hear back about some reimbursement I even payed extra deposit if case something broke everything was so old appliances was so not worth the money

This really is a cheerful little condo; it is in a fabulous location steps away from the beach with a great patio, pool, and balcony. We can’t wait to come back!

Bright apartment with an easy walk to the pier and food. Couch needs a good stain remover and adequate towels and foldout linens should be provided for all guests.We were a party of 5 and only 1 bath towel, hand towel and washcloth were available. Our kids slept on the fold out and would have really appreciated a comforter to keep them warm.

This place was perfect! a short walk to the beach and pier.It was clean and comfortable and had a nice ocean view! You can hear the surf at night with the windows open.

Loved being so close to the beach.
Short walk to beach and pier and restaurants.
Comfy beds, but older building with very old windows and bathroom, and not very quiet with people coming and going upstairs and other nearby units. Hard to sleep in.
6.0
The good:
- Location is close to the pier, it does have an ocean view from the outdoor patio.
- Vacasa support was very responsive.
The bad:
- Property is very dated - rusted fixtures in the bathroom, doors that don’t fully close, no toilet paper can be flushed (😐), only a few power outlets can power a laptop top, windows are challenging to open and have no screens.
- The kitchen can not support anyone that wants/needs to cook - one (1) small pan, 2 pots, utensils are very cheap and old, cooking utensils are non-functional and old, one (1) kitchen hand towel.
- The bathroom has not been updated in 50+ years, cleaned but rust/age makes it feel dirty, water pressure is poor.
- bedrooms show nice bedding and bed skirts in pictures, but reality is no bed skirts, metal portable bed frames, cheap lamps and furniture.
- pool - is also very dated and in need of general maintenance. It was cleaned after requested, but there were just so many bugs and chips on the pool bottom, it is not something you want to use other than to put your feet in to cool off.
- noise - the condo above was doing full demolition all week, floor and window removal, sawing and drilling all day, workers up and down ladder in front of the open windows (there’s no a/c).
- traffic - it is close to the pier on the main street by the beach, that means anyone (car or motorcycle) that wants to cruise and show off their stereo, engine, singing voice etc, you will hear all of it.

This apartment photographs far better than the condition it is in, it was more worn that expecting.
The statement on the website does not go far enough when it say items cannot be flushed down the toilet. Absolutely nothing, including toilet paper can be flushed down the toilet. So be prepared to throw your toilet paper in the garbage can each time or wait for a public restroom.
Also there was construction in the unit above which caused slamming and thudding noises for more than two days and improved impossible to enjoy the unit or conversation inside during the day.

We couldn’t use the pool, as it was freezing cold, the laundry facility was not working, the toilet paper couldn’t be flushed in the toilet, the furniture was unsafe; the nightstand fell on our 5 year old. The place was old and in desperate need of remodeling, especially the bathroom!

This place is old and not very well maintained. The couch was filthy and the floor turned my feet black and the bathroom features were disgusting. The mgnt knew about these defects and still rented this place out. Too bad because the location was good and near the pier.

The location here was GREAT that’s why I went to 3 starts instead of 2! The property management company was not great to work with. I wanted to switch dates not a refund in anyway just simply needed to check in ONE day earlier Monday instead of Tuesday and check out on Thursday instead of Friday. I was told it was available to rent but couldn’t switch dates, even if it was just ONE day before! I had to pay for an extra day instead of them just helping me by moving my checkin ONE day earlier. After paying extra they decided to have a remodel going on upstairs while I stayed downstairs, I could hear EVERYTHING! Banging all day long!! Please know walls are SUPER thin and you can hear everything including every step taken upstairs! It was nice to have a parking spot but was never told that it was in the building next door, so someone left me a note to move my car to another spot, embarrassing, for sure. They also emailed me the incorrect code to the lockbox so I had to call them to get in when I got there in the dark!

This is a hidden gem in San Clemente for sure! The beach, hiking, and many venues are within walking distance.
The home is spacious, clean, and comfortable. If you want a home away from home for a short stay, this is the right place for you!

Great location/area, paper thin walls
Pros - The location is a 10/10 - great ocean view from balcony. Ocean breeze at night, one block walking distance to all restaurants and beach.. the condo itself has all the essentials and was fairly tidy and the bed is very comfy, hotel quality.
The cons
- the upstairs tenant is rude and loud. Every night he hung out right outside our balcony window and drank beers with neighbors and rev up their loud motorcycles until dark (I have a 2 and a 3 year old so not ideal)
- He would play loud music and his tv NIGHTLY past 1030-11 pm and literally vibrates through the ceilings making relaxing and having a quiet vacation night next to
impossible (again keeping my young kids awake) being that the walls are paper thin
- street noise very loud with the master facing the street many things wake u up
- you will need a bag of quarters for the shared laundry which wasn’t mentioned in ad
- vacasa takes days if not longer to email you back which sucks when you have questions.. I’ve felt that staying at VRBO’s with owner-run places usually having better and quicker service
I didn’t want to give this place a mediocre rating because the neighborhood is really cool, the condo is cozy and very bright, and San clemente is such a great place to visit, but there are definite issues with other people in the building who clearly despise having vacationers living below them, which hindered some of our experience

Perfect location and Very Clean
Check in was so easy with a lock box on the railing and was pleasantly surprised at how light, bright and clean the unit was. The location is excellent and a 2 minute walk to the beautiful beach! Would love to stay here again!

Spring Break 2022
We LOVED the location, the pool, the beds, the balcony, the view..... It was PERFECT for us! Being able to walk to the pier, several great restaurants and one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen is what sets this condo apart. We will be back!

Great Comfy Stay!
This place was perfect for two couples and a little doggy. Comfortable, clean, kitchen had lots of the stuff you need to prep food and drink. Our own parking spot. Loved the pool! REALLY close to the beach with a view of the ocean from the deck. Would I stay again? YES...I'm going back to this property in two weeks.

San Clemente R&R
We needed a joyful place to rest after getting our son out of 8 days in ICU from a traumatic brain injury from skateboarding. This place was perfect for us. It is very close to the beach, food, and shops! Definitely one of the best places we have stayed at. The property manager was super helpful to us as well.

Great location, well appointed apartment!
Just steps from the ocean, this place would be perfect for a family get-away. Two bedrooms with comfy beds. A well-appointed kitchen. A grill, with outdoor seating on a balcony with an ocean view. We loved going to Bear Coast Coffee just down the street for coffee and breakfast. The walking path by the ocean is perfect and so close by. Highly recommend!

Beach weekend
Overall very good. Easy walk to the beach. Coffee on the deck with ocean view.
Con- no ventilation in 2 bedroom( windows will not open) light very bright in that bedroom as well from outside security lights. Need more fans and black out shades or curtains.
Had a wonderful time!! Thank you!

My two girlfriends and I spent 3 nights at this condo this last weekend and it was awesome!
We loved the location; walked to the pier and beach daily and also walked to stores/restaurants in town. There is also a trolley that runs daily and picks up down by the pier/restaurant area and goes up Avenida Del Mar to shops, etc. it was a perfect spot for beautiful surroundings, shops and fun restaurants/bars. We also swam in the pool at the end of the afternoons to cool off. Beds were super comfy. Bathroom is out of date, but works fine. Sleeping was a little warm because old Windows do t open. But the manager had a handyman bring us an air conditioning unit!! Very responsive and accommodating!! Would love to go back!!

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo is perfect for a small family vacation. We loved sitting on the balcony. The garage is really small so we decided not to squeeze our vehicle inside it. But there was available meter parking across the street for our second vehicle. The quick access to the beach is the best part. The pier is fun to walk down. And we love the local Gelato ice cream place. The condo is decorated in a fun modern way and the premises were quiet and super cute. We didn’t swim but enjoyed sitting by the pool and relaxing. We utilized the coin laundry and borrowed the chairs and toys that were in the garage.
Note to owner: the beach wagon has a damaged wheel. We luckily noticed before we left the garage.
We will be back!

Cozy condo near beach
The condo itself was perfect for our family of 4. The proximity to the beach is excellent. The condo had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. The beds were extremely comfortable, had extra blankets and bedding for the pull out couch, and was very roomy. The only negative is that you are staying in a residential building and it's obvious that the long-term renters there are not happy about having a short-term rental in the building. We were approached by 2 different residents during our stay, and one was particularly rude to us. We were a quiet family that was very respectful of the noise hours, made sure we cleaned up the pool area, etc. but we were still met with some frustration. Also, the laundry isn't in the unit and the washing machines in the laundry room weren't working, so we took our laundry to a nearby laundry mat. It wasn't a big deal because it was right around the corner, but something to think about if you plan on a longer stay (we were there for 10 nights). Overall I would recommend with the exception of the local residents.
