Contemporary South County Escape Walking Distance To Beach
This newly renovated 2 bed/2 bath home is located on the second floor of Parkview condos. New furnishings, couches, beds, paint and appliances! This ocean view condo is situated above Calafia State Beach at the south end of San Clemente, CA. One of southern California's last great beach towns. Walk to the beach in 3 minutes with surfboards or ride the beach cruisers to the beach trail. The iconic San Clemente pier is one mile North via the beach trail. This home is located in a quiet beach side community, a peaceful spot to escape and enjoy the ocean, not a party house. The house accommodates two cars in the underground, gated parking area. Great parking spots adjacent to exit and the unit make this a wonderfully convenient location. The home's nautical interior is classicly inspired but contemporary and timeless.
The master suite is perfectly appointed and spacious. The guest room is perfect for a second couple or kids. Main living area is a large open space with plentiful seating and areas to relax and watch the ocean or the 55 inch wall-mounted flat screen. Both bedrooms have flat screen televisions and cox cable service. Kitchen and living room merge seamlessly and create a sense of a much larger space! The zinc topped kitchen/dining table seats eight comfortably and accommodates television or ocean views from the same spot.
This home is the perfect, chill out retreat! It's hard to be stressed out when you are here.

We stayed in Kim's place for the month of February and were very pleased. It is beautifully decorated with comfortable furniture and bedding. The kitchen has high-end applicances and is very, very well stocked. The balcony was small, but had a lovely side-view of the ocean.Check-in was easy and Kim was readily available to answer any questions. A great location in San Clemente,a short walk to the ocean and stunning sunsets. Highly recommended!
Great unit with very nice energy. The unit was clean and well decorated. Parking was great and access are good for a beach area. Would stay again for sure!
Kimberly's place was even better than advertised! Incredibly clean, cozy and fully stocked with everything you will need for a comfortable and extended stay. Kimberly was very communicative and ensured the check in process was smooth. Would love to return!
Relaxing and fun 34th annual 'girl's getaway" spent in San Clemente!
Seas the Day was very comfortable, clean and well stocked with supplies; exactly as described on the website! Kim was helpful with suggestions for restaurants and responsive to any questions we had. The condo is in a great location to downtown San Clemente and the beach. I would highly recommend staying here.
This property is fantastic and, as we're repeat visitors to the area, we'd definitely check in on it's availability to stay again in the future. The location is excellent and the furnishings are great, especially compared to many of the other vacation rentals West of the freeway. The owner is friendly and helpful and our experience was truly memorable.
This house was a super base for our 17 day adventure in Cali as well as just chill days by pool and local beach.
Short walk into town for great range of restaurants, etc, with access to Trolley bus.
The house has everything you would need and Kim really makes a beach house feel to the property.
Looking forward to coming back soon.
Property Owner has a true gift for hospitality. We sincerely felt like we were welcomed into her home for an enjoyable stay. The property had everything we could possibly need or want to enjoy our time at the beach.
This place is a awesome. Clean, easy parking, overlooking Calafia state park beach. This condo exceeded our expectations for a super SoCal vacation.

Listen to the waves
This is a great place to stay while in San Clemente. Listen to the waves crash on the beach. Take a long walk on the beach trail and enjoy the beach. Everything you could ask for when visiting this area Owner is very responsive and accommodating unit is well decorated and extremely comfortable. We have stayed here before and will definitely stay here again.

Great place
We really enjoyed our stay. The place was spacious and very comfortable. We really appreciated how well stocked it was. It had just about everything you could think of.
One minor criticism is that the pool was not heated. It was one of the big draws for us but we didn’t end up using it as it was not hot enough to use a cold pool. There is a small hot tub though which was nice.
We would stay here again.

The Accommodations Exceeded Our Expectations
The unit was quiet, very clean and comfortable for our group of four adults. This place was even nicer than what the pictures showed. Everything had been updated and was well-equipped. There were plenty of linens available with great closet and drawer space. The kitchen had everything we needed and it was great to be able to make meals and save money from eating out everyday.
There is reserved covered parking in the building, which was a relief since parking is difficult to find. The area felt very safe and is close, but not too close to shopping and restaurants. It was great being just a short walk to the beach and utilize the nice walking path by the water.
The owner was quick to respond to any questions we had and the instructions emailed to us beforehand were easy to follow. The pool and hot tub would have been nice to use, but it was too cold the week we were there at the end of February. We would 100% stay here again.

Beautiful beach get away
Kimberley was a perfect host! The condo was absolutely clean with beautiful decor and luxurious linens. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is a good selection of pantry items. It has a nice large living room with lots of comfortable seating. The reserved parking spaces were a necessity and greatly appreciated. We’d love to return again and would heartily recommend this accommodation.

This condo is as advertised plus some.
We have stayed in a lot of Homeaway rentals and this one is likely the best. Kim was responsive to our questions in the initial contact, provided all the answers and information we requested and sent the agreement and directions promptly. The directions for access were perfect and easy to follow. The condo is beautiful and has everything you could possibly need for your stay. We goofed up the TV access the first day and Kim arrived in minutes to sort it out. There is underground parking, the bikes work great and the pool and hot tub are clean and easily accessed. The walk through the park to the beach is 3 minutes. The view of the ocean from the kitchen table is lovely. There is a 3 mile walking trail when you get to the beach that takes you to the pier and further on to the north shore.
We will be back next year.

Charming Beach Condo
Very nice beach condo close to beach trail. Roomy and comfortable was a perfect place for us to stay while visiting family for Thanksgiving. Easy access to the beach trail making for a nice walk to the San Clemente pier for breakfast or lunch. Comes with bikes and lots of beach toys we will look to stay here again when we come back to visit.

It was amazing!
We loved staying at "Seas the day"! What a beautiful place. The ocean was so close we enjoyed it everyday. You could hear the waves from the condo. Everything was close by and convenient to get to. The condo had everything to make us feel like we were at home and more!

Fabulous condo in a gorgeous seaside town
We spent just over a week in the condo in San Clemente and fell in love with this fabulous seaside town in OC. The condo itself was exactly as pictured and in a perfect location to explore the area and beaches of OC. The condo has everything you need and the furnishings are of a very high standard. We will not hesitate to recommend the condo and will definitely consider coming back. Thank you Kimberley we had a lovely time.

Amazing Beach Condo
Beautiful and very well equipped apartment in a nice part of town. I loved being able to walk to the State Park and down to the beach outside our door steps. The home decor is so cute and makes you feel warm and welcomed. It's a very comfortable, spacious place and I will definitely be back! Thank you!!

Beautiful condo/vacation spot for family of 5
This home is as pictured. When we arrived everything was very clean and updated. We are a family of 5 and the owner was nice enough to have a small air mattress made up for our little guy. I was expecting to have to pull that out of a closet and do all that myself so having that ready was a huge help.
We cooked most meals and the kitchen is equipped anything you would need to cook. Even little things that I usually have to go purchase on our stays, like dish soap and sponges, it was all there. There were also plenty of linens and beach towels.
The condo includes 2 parking spaces in the parking garage which was needed because parking is hard to find in this area. The beach is a nice 10 min walk and very quiet, not busy at all. The kids loved going down by the beach and watching the sunset and the train pass by every so often. There was lots of beach equipment and chairs for our use as well.
The owner communicates very well and always responded right away to my questions.
Overall we really enjoyed this location. My husband and older son rented boards and enjoyed the surf all up and down San Clemente and near T-street. Take a day and visit La Jolla if you can. The sea lions and tide pools were the best part of the trip for our kids.
If you do bring kids be mindful of the balcony. The bars are far enough apart that my son could've slid through if he had tried. I think the bars met standards when the place was built. All the other balconies were the same, but I'm sure newer construction codes wouldn't have them that way. We just made sure he didn't go on the balcony without us. Just something to consider if the balcony is a concern.
Overall this is a great place for family or a couple that wants to get away. Nice quiet community. Would recommend.

Upscale SC beach stay
Had a great stay for 10 days at this place. Great location above Calafia with a quick walk down to the beach and great views. The place was stocked full of everything my girlfriend and I needed for a long stay and I have zero complaints. Would highly recommend!

Beautiflly Appointed Fabulous Accomodation!
I stayed with Colleagues at this Condo - great -
Pros - It is beautifully appointed. Clean, clean, clean! Great beds! Lots of space to relax. View from the Balcony is fabulous! All green hills and ocean view - no residential seen from balcony except your condo development stretching on either side (not in front) . Nice view of the sea from the small balcony. We had a lot of desk work to do and their was a great large dinning table that worked great - for all. Washer and Drier! Great Kitchen with everything! Centrally located. Within short driving distance of shops, great dinning and the main highway . Free underground parking. We did not vacation here - it was a working trip. So I can not comment on the vacation opportunities. Although it is within a short drive of Dana Point, and Laguna beach - both great places to spend many days shopping, dining, looking at art galleries and laying on the beach! As well it is within driving distance of San Diego and Anaheim . All the Amenities are in this condo - we wanted for nothing. Unfortunately we did not meet the host (I like t do that).
Cons for some people - Not good for anyone with mobility issues - lots of stairs to get in and out of the Condo and quite a hill to the ocean. I would hesitate to take small children here - I would be worried all the time that something might get broken or damaged. The apartment has a lot of lovely things (this makes it beautiful for adults) - I guess one could put it all up high while there. You can not walk to amenities - it would be a hike. Small balcony - barely large enough for two people to sit on the balcony both in chaise lounges at one time . A family would find it hard to dine on the balcony. Balcony not private - open to next Condo. Luckily for us the people in that Condo were not there so it was OK but if they were there - you would not have privacy. Suggestion - close off the balcony between the condos. No place is perfect but over all I would recommend this accommodations to anyone especially with several Adults. We had a great time and it made all the difference in our trip! Thanks to the Hostess - she thought of everything! It felt like home! Thank you so much for your attention to detail.

About the host
Hosted by Kimberly Bennett
Born and raised in California, I grew up in San Clemente and now live a short distance away. I enjoy all the activities Southern California has to offer; mountain bike riding, running, surfing, and all the wonderful places to eat.
Why they chose this property
I was eager to buy a property in San Clemente where I grew up, and most importantly a place by the beach. I came across this gem and immediately knew it was the one. I enjoy spending weekends at the condo and believe you will find it equally enjoyable and relaxing.
What makes this property unique
The trail near by on the beach allows nearly an uninterrupted 15 mile run round trip to Dana Point Harbor. The road cycling south through Camp Pendleton to San Diego County is a beautiful ride for 30-60 miles round trip.
