Great vacation cottage near beach
Our family loved our vacation at this beautiful cottage in San Clemente. It was located a couple blocks from the San Clemente Pier and beach, and close to many excellent restaurants in town. Lovely ocean views from every room, and a wonderful porch/balcony. Highly recommend!

SoCal relaxation
We love SoCal after living there for a bit. Was so fun to return and be close to all our favorite things. The place was perfect for our family of four and really close walk to the beach, San Clemente trail, and the pier. The property management was very responsive, we had the coffee maker fail and they had a new one there by the afternoon. Would definitely stay again!

Suggested improvements
We love the property and location but would like to suggest a couple of improvements. 1. Replace the toilet in bedroom 2 upstairs with a modern ADA elongated chair height toilet. Maybe all the others too. 2 Replace polyester blend sheets with 100% cotton. We enjoyed our second visit to A. Will be back next year.

Family reunion/vacation
The location of this property is amazing! No regrets - would absolutely stay there again. As mentioned in the listing - limited parking is an issue, so you just need to be able to be flexible. But so worth it! And the home has been setup & furnished in such a way that allows great flexibility for numerous adults 👍 interior could use a little sprucing up - but overall wonderful.

Perfect location
Great location. Plenty of space. Great beds. Fully furnished kitchen. Lovely balconies. Thank you for beach chairs and towels! Plenty of hot water available for showers. Quick response from Vacasa management. Feels like home away from home. Suggestions: Duvet on window-side bed in downstairs bedroom needs to be washed. Kitchen chair pads need to be replaced. Rugs are very dirty. Stairway handrails need to be cleaned.

Great location and nice that all bedrooms had their own bathrooms. The floors were not clean- when wiping up spilled water on a bathroom floor, the towel showed the dirt. In the living area the rug was embedded with animal hair (although there was a no animal policy)- we had to clean the rug ourselves and tgen put down a blanket to reduce my 10 month old granddaughter’s allergic reaction.

Perfect location
This VRBO is in the perfect location. It’s a quick walk up to the main street with the bars, restaurants and shops. It’s also a quick minute walk down to the beach. The property was clean and stocked with the basics. If you’re a light sleeper, bring ear plugs so you can sleep with the windows open for the ocean breeze, and if you wake up with the sun, you may want a sleep mask because the rooms get bright at 5:30. Would we stay again? Yes.

Wonderful location and size for a family
The property was a great size for our family of 8 including 2 grandchildren. Everyone had their own space and bathroom. The location was beautiful with views of the ocean and short walk to the beach. We appreciated that the unit had a pack n play and high chair for the infant. Plus beach toys and many other beach items in the garage. I would highly recommend this unit for a larger group.

Great property- better than imagined! Gorgeous view from most windows and the balcony was perfect! Everything was clean and well organized, beds were very comfortable. Two en-suites upstairs was ideal for a getaway with a friend- both were spacious and had incredible views! We didn’t want to leave!

Near the Beach but Noisy & Hot
We arrived late in the day, 7:30. At first blush, everything looked clean. The home has loads of space for a family of 7 (grandma, grandpa, daughter, son-in-law, 3 granddaughters). Southern California was in the middle of a bad heat wave & the house was really hot. We quickly went to every room & opened up the windows and turned the ceiling fans on. Still very hot. The home is very close to the beach but it is on a hill so there is a climb back if anyone has mobility issues. The block it is on is jam packed with apartments & multiple homes in one property. This home has 4 units for rent, A, B, C, & D. We arrived on a Friday night. Lots of people out on the street, cars, motorcycles & parties on the weekend. We had to have the windows open to let the breeze in with the blinds open as well which have us no respite from the noise. It is also a very heanily lit street at night so with everything open, the rooms aren’t dark. I had emailed the management company, Vacasa & inquired about fans because of the heat & was told there were lots in the house. There were ceiling fans in the living room & 3 bedrooms plus one floor fan. I emailed Vacasa & they were really awesome about getting fans brought to the home the day after our arrival. A big shout out to Christy who dropped one off within the hour & bought 2 more, later. We tried to cook dinner that night, the kitchen was stifling. Our daughter & family had trouble sleeping upstairs with the heat. No BBQ. 2 days later, Christy is assembling a BBQ on the side of the house. She was awesome. Sadly, the house remained awfully hot & noisy. Lots of coffee shops around & restaurants.. The home is older. The pictures make it look fresh and modern. It is not. The kitchen is in good shape but the rest of the furniture is worn & could use a good cleaning. The carpets too. Lots of glass in the home on the table tops & no glass cleaner. No plastic in the kitchen to store anything, no dish clothes for washing & cleaning up. 1 small travel size dish soap for a 10 day, 7 people booking. Ran out of TP & had to buy some. Bought food storage containers, dish clothes & a couple of tea towels. When I emailed Vacasa that the house was short on these items, I was told it wasn’t their responsibility to provide the amenities beyond the first couple of days. Our price per night certainly didn’t reflect a discount for lack of that. We wouldn’t come back to this home. Love San Clemente but not that house.

Great location and views
The views of the ocean and the pier were great and you could hear the waves breaking at night. The location was terrific altho the climb from the beach to the apt was very steep. The property was bit dated and we had a minor plumbing issue, but the property manager, Lenet, was helpful. Beach umbrellas, chairs, & other gear were provided & much appreciated. Overall good stay for our family of 5 adults and a toddler & we would choose it again.

Disappointed and dissatisfied.
The pictures show a beautiful condo near the beach and it is both. We found however, the condo was dirty and they were cheap on the supplies. There is a floor to ceiling west facing window in the living room as well as all glass wall and sliders on the street side. They were covered in small (child) smeary sticky handprints - on the inside. This made us wonder about the cleanliness of the entire place. The stair handrail to second floor was also sticky. We cleaned it with lysol wipes we brought and they were covered in brown dirt. There was long black hair on both upstairs bathroom counters and floors. The liquid hand soap bottles in the upstairs bathrooms were filled with water. There were no little extras that most places include like foil, paper plates, napkins, ziplocks in the kitchen. There are no hot pads and only two dish towels. There was no dish soap just dishwasher pods. We contacted VACASA twice regards the cleanliness and the response we received was " Thank you for letting us know the home is not as clean as it should be and I apologize for the inconvenience. I have let management know that the windows have finger prints on them and the stair railing is very sticky." The listing is not transparent about the parking. There are two parking spots..the garage and the small spot in front of it. Unless you have a small suv/sedan you will not fit in the garage. They dont' tell you until check in day that you are not supposed to (per San Clemente restrictions) park on the street. Would not stay here again as the value received not worth the $.
