We had a nice stay at Riki's, who was really welcoming and kind. The check-in was perfect and she made sure to respond quickly. She even had a plumber come in and change the water heater who was making weird noises. The condo is functionnal and well equiped. A little improvement of the cleanliness could be great.

We enjoyed the spacious environment, including a large deck that we could sunbath on. the spacious environment, including a large deck that we could sunbath on. We had easy walking access to the beach and up to the shops and restaurants. This was a well supplied home. All we needed to do was buy a few groceries. I would highly recommend this place when staying in San Clemente

Owner very friendly . The location was perfect and very confortable. Highly recommended.

We were very happy with the property, its amenities and location, as well the warm welcome and detailed information about the property’s features and facilities. Two thumbs up!

There were many things we enjoyed about our stay, which was a month long as we were here for business. The location was excellent, 5 minutes walk from the lovely downtown core with restaurants and bakery, 10 minutes to pier area where you could pick up a walking path. Having the garage is important in San Clemente and even if your car is large, you have the space in front of the garage to park. A family could comfortably stay here as the 2 day beds in the living room are very comfortable. One of us slept on one when we were sick. The kitchen is well appointed for cooking. We especially appreciated that there were a lot of (matching, thank you) glass wear and dishes so that you did not have to run the dishwasher every day. The decor was beachy and nice, the deck was large and there was a new BBQ (that we did not actually use), and beach gear available. Host very responsive when we needed something.

older property with great location & quiet neighborhood. good dining close by. wonderful to have off street garage parking & patio over garage provides a nice outdoor space. comfortable bed. Riki was great host-met me at the property for check in & did walk through showing of the accomodations.

This tranquil little beach home is a perfect place to get away and escape reality until you're ready to enter back into your normal life! I felt safe staying here solo and had everything I needed to make my stay exactly what my body, mind & soul was needing! Riki the owner felt like a long time friend as she made the arrangements super smooth & comforting. As a prior San Clemente resident I alway love going home and this location was walking distance to the downtown and not a far drive to my favorite beaches. I will defiantly make this place a new part of life if I ever need to even better bring my family with me next time! Thank you Riki for all you do, it is/was appreciated!

Riki was an amazing host. Perfect location and super cute place. Thank you!

Well-planned out property & a very helpful host. One of our best VRBO stays ever.

Riki was a great host. Great communication with her before our arrival and during our stay . Nice location with everything you go to a place like San Clemente close by. (Beach, Del Mar for dining and shopping, and, of course , the beach.) House was very cute and very roomy. Riki keeps it well stocked with all necessary supplies, etc. Bed was very comfortable . Very nice front patio to sit on. Really enjoyed our stay.

My partner and I enjoyed our stay very much. Riki thought of everything for this cute cottage, we were so comfortable here! The AC was the icing on the cake for us, very very nice! Also quick walk to shops in town or the beach. We will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay. The owner was great to work with. Very responsive and timely in their responses to inquiries. It was a pleasure doing business with her. Thank you for your hospitality and gracious demeanor.

Great location, easy walking distance to beach and downtown restaurants. Cottage is roomy and comfortable, especially for 2 people. Kitchen has pretty much everything you need for preparing your own food. Big plus to have a dedicated parking spot in a garage as parking can be a little tight around there. Riki is a great host, made sure that we had everything we needed for a great stay. Will definitely return in the future.

Nice cottage. Homes are close together but still feels fairly private. Walk to pier, shops and restaurants. Very enjoyable!

Enjoyed my stay here. Everything was great, host was extremely accommodating, and the condo was very well equipped. I would love to stay here again.

The property is extremely clean and beautiful. Rikki makes sure you have everything you need. We try to go to this VRBO every summer. The beach is walking distance also close to the main street with tons of restaurants and fun boutiques. Nothing but good vibes!!

Super cozy and airy cottage. Awesome location with parking. Easy communication with host. Will return for sure. Thank you, Riki!

The location of "The Cottage" is great for a getaway in San Clemente. Walk to the beach or the quaint downtown area with good eats and great shops. Riki was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed before arrival and during check-in. We would highly recommend the stay.

Perfect location to shops and the beach. The cottage was clean and comfortable and the balcony was enjoyable. Riki was very nice and welcoming and helped set the tone for our beach getaway. We look forward to staying here again!

I have stayed here previously and am happy to return. The place is super cute and is in a great location. Its a short, easy to walk down to the beach/pier area. Also, a short walk to Del Mar Street where you can dine or shop. And I LOVE that I can bring my little dog... that makes a HUGE difference to me. I will definitely return.

We enjoyed our stay at Riki's place. The pictures are accurate and you are within walking distance of the downtown area in one direction (about 5-6 minutes) and the beach area (about 8 minutes walking in the other direction). As a suggestion to any renters, we figured out that you can walk to the beach with your beach chairs, umbrellas, etc and take the trolley back and walk down about two blocks back to your place. The neighborhood is nice and everyone we met was friendly and would just say hello which was nice. It's nice that there is a garage available because parking in the area is quite tight. The only suggestion I have is to have a vehicle with a little clearance because of how the ground leading up to the garage slopes a little bit. Other than that I would recommend this unit by giving it 5 stars. We were there from 5/19-5/27/2023. It's also nice that there is a full bathroom and a half bath which is just a nice added bonus. We hope to go back next year if there is availability. We love the beach and this unit definitely helps to make beach access easy to get to based on the location.

Great location with a quaint downtown area within walking distance as well as easy beach access and the pier. A great place to stay!

I will be totally honest and say that if I saw the outside of the cottage I probably wouldn’t have rented it but the inside is quite nice. Riki was great to deal with and the location is awesome .Short 10 minute walk to the beach & very close to the lovely downtown area with great restaurants and shops The kitchen is well equipped but there are a couple of disappointing things about the cottage. The deck & garage were quite dirty as well as the barbecue The laundry facilities are not in the cottage. They are at the back of the small complex and are coin operated San Clemente is a wonderful place for a vacation and I’m sure we’ll go back

This was the perfect place for me, my daughter and my six year old grandson. Location was amazing and the cottage was perfect. I highly recommend this place

The property was spacious, clean, comfortable, and perfectly located close to town and close to the beach. Riki was wonderful to work with, and took the time to stop by, and make sure everything was great. Having an off-street parking spot was also very convenient. We'll definitely be back!

We enjoyed Riki's cottage. This was an older remodel home in a nice location and walking distance from about anything San Clemente has to offer. It was a great 10 day getaway and appreciate having a place we could call "home" for a few short days! Thanks Riki for giving us a great space! On a side note....We really appreciated all the great people we meet in Southern California. The hospitality was second to none and we enjoyed every person we crossed paths with!

Travel to San Clemente often to visit family. Being familiar with the area, it’s important to be able to walk to both Del Mar and to the pier. This property allowed us to do both, within minutes. The property is exceptionally organized and clean. The owner Rikki, was accessible and a fantastic communicator. We will be back!

Our stay was just perfect. Close to the beach and the Main Street. The appartement is very nice, quite, clean.. Riki is very responsive and helpful ! We will be back for sure !

My hubs and I needed last minute accommodations when our escrow was delayed in closing.. not just for the 2 of us, but for our 2 pugs. Franken Beans..we found Riki’s listing and it was so cute, and close to our yoga studio that we have in town.. there was also a garage to pack our 55 Chevy and a street space.. that is worth gold in south San Clemente! There were lots of places to get cozy and her place has a great beachy vibe… she greeted me upon my arrival and walked me through property- she even had a welcome card and snacks- that was such a nice touch! The only thing I wish there was - is a little dresser or drawer space for your clothes..just a note, and not at all a negative- she does offer half of the closet for hanging items and shoes. Super clean, super close to the beach…a great courtyard and a balcony to enjoy the San Clemente community! We could literally walk to EVERYTHING on downtown!! Thank you Riki for a wonderful Stay!

My wife and I had a great time vacationing for two weeks at this property. The location is great, check-in was easy, the neighborhood was quiet, and everything in the cottage worked as expected. It was really nice to just be able to walk a few blocks to all the restaurants, coffee shops, etc. -- we barely used our rental car! Would definitely rent again.

the cottage, location and weather was perfect. We could not have asked for more.

Very neat, well stocked place. Riki was a very good host and met us when we arrived. We liked walking everywhere even though we had a car. We did drive down to the pier because the walk back up the hill was a bit much for my husband's knee. Parking was inexpensive and available there. Had a beautiful beach walk, saw dolphins from the pier and went whale watching. We also enjoyed the variety of restaurants in town!
