The hosts were very communicative and helpful. The location was perfect, great for daily walks to restaurants, shopping, and the pier. We had a very comfortable stay!
The condo was clean and festively decorated for Christmas! The kitchen was well stocked with excellent array of pots, pans, utensils. The beds super comfy!! The location perfect, a short walk in one direction to the beach and in the other, to town! The owners were super responsive and friendly. Highly recommend!
Great amenities and excellent location. Restaurants, beach and free trolley near by. Plenty of high quality beach gear and very clean, comfortable quarters. Loved it.
Excellent home to stay at. It was a perfect place to get ready for my daughter's wedding. I would love to stay again and being able to enjoy all the extras included in the home.
Location was great! Walk to town and beach. We loved hanging out in the backyard and the hot tub was a hit. Hosts thought of everything and were so accommodating!
I traveled to San Clemente with 3 friends to play pickleball, and it was the perfect location. We walked to the beach, coffee shops, stores, and restaurants. It was a short drive to Life Time to play pickleball on their beautiful courts. The trip was better than anticipated! We all loved our stay. Thank you!
Our top 3 picks...walking distance to, well, everything...even Ralphs! Farmer's Market...visited twice! Hot tub...it was cold with a chance of rain, but you wouldn't know if in the tub! Great stay!
We come to San Clemente multiple times per year to visit our daughter and her family but this visit we were also brining my father-in-law and daughter-in-law and needed quite a bit more room. This condo was perfect! Clean and spacious with a spot-on location, and the hosts were very attentive and available for any questions. And they left wine! Highly recommend. And if we ever need a larger space to visit we will definitely be back here again.
This condo is a San Clemente gem. It’s a great location, park your car and walk for your entire stay. It’s a short, although somewhat hilly, walk to the beach. And a very short walk to the local restaurants and shopping. The hosts of the condo are so fantastic! This was the most well stocked rental I have ever stayed at and she is very responsive if you need anything. Our stay was the perfect back to school girls trip.
The home is clean, comfy and very well equipped. ..you want for nothing. Location is great. All the extras…hot tub, fire pit, outdoor TV and a super high tech toilet…all great. Pete and Cathy are over the top hosts! We will return!
Our stay at Casa Del Mar was absolutely perfect! The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to the beautiful San Clemente Pier beach, and surrounded by an incredible selection of restaurants all within walking distance. It made exploring the area so easy and enjoyable.The condo itself felt like a full-on beach resort. Every amenity we could have possibly needed was already there, which made packing and planning for the trip incredibly simple. It was comfortable, beautifully maintained, and truly felt like a home away from home.Pete and Cathy are outstanding hosts. Communication was top-notch from start to finish, and they went above and beyond by sharing local tips, activity updates, and some great restaurant recommendations that we ended up loving!Our family had an amazing time and created priceless memories that we’ll cherish forever. We’re already talking about our next visit—can’t wait to come back!
Very clean, all beach chairs, paddleboards look new and well taken care of. They had 10+ bikes to choose from. Wine, water in frigerator for guests. Rode bikes to the pier had a great time. Was here for a wedding. Every year we vacation at Newport Beach for a week, we have decided to come back here next year. Thank you for everything.
Loved this location. The hosts are super thoughtful and seem to have thought of everything. They make it so easy and enjoyable not just to have a great stay, you also have a great time. They provide lots of helpful information about the area, things to do, places to eat, helpful info about the property including a dedicated website replete with everything you need to know and more. There are also complimentary bicycles, surf boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, drinks and so much more. They understand hospitality and it is a pleasure to both work with them and enjoy their fabulous property. It's not just a rental, it's an experience.
We loved staying here! It was super clean, just the right amount of space for the 8 of us, and had everything you could need!
The jacuzzi, the pink pong, the fire pit .. made staying here perfect. And, the short walk to beach, shops or restaurants made for a perfect location.
