...Check out our brand new apartment VRBO #597970 on back property which can be booked together with a discount for larger parties or privacy.


This charming beach getaway is just a 100-yard stroll to the sand, and it comes with all the beach toys, including surfboards, body boards, chairs, umbrellas, towels, etc. Plus, it is uniquely positioned just steps away from our 3.5 mile beach trail. No more loading the car with beach gear, and no more renting equipment and searching for a parking space, ‘cause you are at the beach! After a beach day, enjoy a cocktail on your deck, or soak in the hot tub on the patio. From here, it’s also an easy 10-minute walk to Fisherman’s restaurant in the pier bowl area, or to T-street beach, or to San Clemente’s quaint downtown for shopping and restaurants. World-class surfing at Trestles and San-O is a 10-minute drive south.

Accommodations
This 3 bedroom, 2 bath house is located in a tranquil neighborhood, perfect for sleep-ins and peaceful evenings. Make yourselves at home sunbathing on your private deck, or entertain friends and family while bbq-ing or jacuzzing on your secluded patio. It is the essence of San Clemente beach, with bamboo flooring, palm trees, ocean breezes, and a free-flowing, indoor-outdoor atmosphere. It invites you to lounge outdoors on the deck, or relax inside on the leather sofas while watching a movie on the high-definition flat screen TV with surround sound and fully-loaded on demand options. The open and fully equipped kitchen offers bar-style eating or sit-down dining, with a direct view of your friends on the deck, or of the flat screen inside if you choose. Enjoy the wireless internet throughout, as well as centralized heating. In the master bedroom, sleep tight on your king-sized bed with an attached bath, or wander to the hot tub with direct access from this bedroom. All 3 bedrooms sleep 2 people each, with room for 2 more people. Each bedroom has its own high-def, flat screen TV with on demand, a ceiling fan and plenty of storage. Additionally, complimentary laundry facilities for your use only are located in the garage below. And, there’s parking for 3 cars directly in front.

Beach toys
Wander down to the beach for some great surf, or to Fisherman’s restaurant on the pier for dinner or sunset cocktails. Or, enjoy our beach trail on bike or on foot. Also, at low tide check out our tide pools, with starfish, sea anemones and muscles. Or, spend hours hunting for sea glass.

Great House!
This was the perfect house for three couples in town for a wedding at The Casino at San Clemente. Close to the venue, the beach, restaurants and stores. Easy to get around the area either on foot or short Uber/Lyft rides. The house was spacious and had everything we needed. We definitely recommend and would stay there again. Thanks Bob!

A Great Stay in San Clemente
We had a wonderful stay in this property. It was very clean upon arrival, the beds were super comfortable, and we enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub on the patio. This property is older and some items definitely need replacement as some of the beach chairs are torn and broken, but over all it was a very nice stay for us. The only thing to be aware of is that this is located in a residential area where the houses are very close to each other and it can get a bit noisy at times. It was lovely to have access to the beach but seniors should be aware that the access to the beach is a very steep path. Overall though this was a very well maintained property and I would highly recommend it.

Amazing Week
My family had an absolutely amazing week and our accommodations couldn’t have been better. We used all of the water toys (surfboards, paddle boards, etc), the beds were super comfy and the hot tub was an end of the day must. We hope to be back and Bob was fantastic to work with.

Great house for family beach time
The house and neighborhood were fantastic! Simple walk to the beach for my wife and three kids (5,7,9). The neighborhood was nice and quiet with a grocery store and many restaurants nearby. If want to enjoy a chill time at a beautiful beach that’s never crowded and don’t mind a few stairs then this place will be perfect. About 5 minutes walk to the beach from the house. The house was nice and clean and had everything we needed for our 5 day stay. This was our second time staying here and we would definitely stay again

Plenty of space for our family
We were in Cali for our son's graduation from Marine Sniper School and it was the perfect location and size. San Clemente is such a nice area and close to Camp Pendleton. This is really close to the beach and the pier but be ready for a huge hill down to the beach. Loved the size of the house and all the aminities. Plenty of blankets, pillows and towels. Very nicely stocked kitchen. Hope to be able to come stay again when the weather is a little warmer. The host is a great communicator. Would not hesitate to book from him again. Thank you again.

Great place in a great beach town
This house is a gem! The outdoor patios are big and location is great - you can see the ocean from the front patio. San Clemente is a really cute town - and the path along the ocean is great for walking/running. There was an issue with the oven when we arrived but the landlord had someone there very quickly to remedy it. We will definitely be back.

Perfect beach house vibe
What a great beach house! The location is amazing and the home has the perfect beach house vibe - clean and bright, not too fussy, a decent kitchen for cooking and a close walk to the beach. We visited with four college-age kids who spent most of their time on the beach and in the water. Plenty of good options for eating out and shopping.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Rountree

Host profile image
I moved to San Clemente in 1972 as a young boy and grew up in this beautiful sleepy little beach town. I love that San Clemente has maintained many of its great qualities as it has become very popular as a beach destination. I love the small town feel of it and its great beaches. I realized a dream when this property became available to me and allowed me to get this close to the water. I look forward to sharing that blessing with others while staying here.

Why they chose this property

This property is uniquely located close to everything, most importantly the beach and beach trail access. It has a very comfortable and open layout that captures the beach lifestyle and weather. Smelling the ocean and feeling the breeze on a daily basis is wonderful. If you are looking to take advantage of beautiful San Clemente and what it has to offer, you are in the heart of it here.
