About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Ocean-Front Beach Cottage with 2 Bedrooms, 2 bath, Full Kitchen and shared deck

The single-story Cottage is a charming, quaint & relaxing Ocean-Front unit with white-water views, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, sleeps 6, with a full kitchen, 70”Smart TV, and "Gigablast" cable internet.

The Cottage has ocean white water views with no other property between you and the ocean! Watch the waves, surfers, dolphins, whales, boats and gorgeous sunsets (look for a "green flash"). The deck is shared with one other attached unit, which is also available on VRBO. Both units can be rented together for a total of 4 bedrooms (check the calendar for availability).

There is close beach access, down 109 stairs to the beach/beach trail or a quarter-mile drive to North Beach. The pier is a short one-mile walk. There is surfing directly in front of the house ("204s" on surfing maps, other surfing spots are a short drive). Beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and sand toys for children are available for free to our guests.

Disclaimer: There was a hill slide behind the property in early 2023. The property has been cleared by a geological engineer as safe. There is a safety fence, but the pool & spa are non-operational; all photos of the property are current and accurate. Prices have been reduced accordingly.

Free parking for two cars in the uncovered carport.

The property is completely Non-Smoking, including inside the apartment or on the deck or driveway. Smoking on the property or in the Cottage will result in a fee of $250.

No pets allowed. $250 fine if a animal is found on the property during your stay. *We keep our units pet free for the future guest and their possible allergy concerns. If a dog is bought to the unit we have to have the carpets clean and the unit complete sanitized so we can offer a pet environment. Which also takes an extra day to prepare again for the next guests. Thus this is why the $250 pet fee is charged.

No gatherings or parties are allowed. The booking guest must be 25 years old to rent the property.

Lovely!
We loved our stay! Opening the doors in the morning and hearing the surf was incredibly restorative. The kitchen was perfect for us. We were able to cook lovely meals. The place is close to shopping and the beach. It’s quiet too. The host was great and communicative. Overall wonderful stay. Our only issue was that the bed in the first bedroom was small and my husband had to sleep on the couch for comfort. We would love a bigger bed in there. Still though, great place. Amazing views and highly, highly recommended.

Beautiful View
We had a very relaxing time. It was a great view and plenty of room. The house itself is dated and the beach below isn’t really a beach unless you walk down quite a ways. But on the whole it was a great place to stay and you can’t beat being able to hear the ocean at night and open the doors and feel the breeze during the day.

Very nice and plenty of room. Both sets of stairs to the beach were closed due to landslide (but that's totally not the owners fault). Had fun!

Ocean-Front Beach Cottage with 2 bedrooms,2 bath, Full Kitchen and shared deck
I wanted to escape Chicago’s winter and searched for ocean front property. Kim’s place was the most affordable place I could find. Not only did I get the ocean view, but the constant sound of ocean waves and the ocean breeze made for an excellent 3-week escape. Kim is an amazing host. She’s a text away if you have any questions. The cottage had an excellent smart TV, coffee maker, comfortable bed, great hot water, and the kitchen was equipped with all that I needed. Thank you, Kim, for making your home an inviting retreat for us snowbirds that need a retreat!

Sunshine Getaway in a perfect location!
This charming, vintage beach cottage was a wonderful place to soak up some sun for a few days. Home owner (Kim) was delightful and checked in multiple times during our stay. On-site manager (Madison) was warm and welcoming and helped us with the keyless entry. We we were out and about most of the day as there is a lot to enjoy. We enjoyed being steps from a beach access and the Beach Trail. Had lunch at Fisherman’s on San Clemente Pier after walking the trail end to end. (Saw a pod of dolphin and a whale!) We loved breakfast at the snack shack -West Toast Cafe. Location is ideal, we took in Dana Point and San Juan Capistrano both an easy drive from the cottage. Views from the patio are breathtaking, especially at sunset. Although we did not use the pool, it was beautiful. Hope to Be back again!

This was my second time staying at this property and it won’t be the last. This rental is everything advertised and more. The location, views, pool and deck are incredible. Waking up and walking outside to see the beautiful ocean view is breathtaking.

Awesome getaway at the beach!
It's as good as it looks. In fact, the outdoor area exceeded all expectations. Feels like staying at a private resort. The property was well kept and had everything we needed. Kim was super responsive and easy to communicate with. We rented both cottages so we had the entire property to ourselves, but can see how it would work well with 2 separate reservations. A gazebo on each side of the property give enough room to lounge and not interact if you don't want to. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen well-equipped and plenty of room to eat and spread out. Would definitely stay again!

Fantastic property to rest and relax
An amazing view. A perfect place to unwind as you watch the surfers below. You can kick back on a lounger to catch some rays or red a book. The property manager and owner work in tandem to make sure your stay is perfect. 10 out of 10! Worth every penny!!!

Its even better irl
We enjoyed every moment. The beach cottage is oceanfront overlooking the beach with an infinity view of the water. Sunsets are not too be missed! It was like being at a private resort with a pool. Soooo relaxing. There were 5 adults in our group. It was nice to have bathrooms off of each of the two bedrooms. Sharing the grill with our friendly neighbors was not a problem. Kim was amazing. It never took more than a few minutes for her to respond to requests. We took daily walks on the walking path by the beach. The pier was about a 20 minute walk. T street beach was a short walk past the pier. We enjoyed watching the surfers there. Surf Team USA is based in San Clemente

Amazing views!
My girlfriend and I stayed for 6 days. The view and ambiance outside at the pool was wonderful- we spent most of our time there. The inside was not sparkling clean, but passable. The furniture was old and and unit itself was dated. There were a few quirky things- could not get the dishwasher to close, but the owner was very responsive and told me the "trick"to getting it closed. We shared the pool and hot tub with the next door unit neighbors but it is a big area so we did have ample privacy. We walked on the beach everyday which was just steps down the hill. Overall we had a great stay.
