Remodeled Beach Cottage - Block to the Beach and Coastal Trail

We loved this house! I should say Cottage really. We had my daughter and her family with us and we were very comfortable. Quick walk to the beach, watch the sunset then return home to hang out outside under beautiful lights on the deck. Nick was fantastic and made our trip flawless. Would definitely stay again but for longer.

Thank you Nick for making our stay so special. We had such a wonderful time. Anything we needed you were quick to take care of. Location is great! We really enjoyed the front outside eating area as well. We have already been recommending this vrbo to friends/ family.

Great place to stay. Owner was awesome. Had a great time even though we were working.

The best feature of this property is the location and a magnificent Pine that spreads out over the front patio. After that it was the excellent communication with the property manager Nick, who responded quickly to several “needs”. The beds were very comfortable but the house itself is in dire need of upgrades and infrastructure repair. The kitchen is very sad, drawers are filled with junk and falling apart, cabinets are filled with old and expired food items, stove was ok, refrigerator old and too small for 4 people, and there is peeling paint, gouges and holes in the walls throughout the place. It just isn’t very nice to be inside, which is understandable if all a guest wants is to sleep and be at the beach or outside all day, but we had planned long evenings in and Christmas Dinner guests, so it was tough to adjust to such aesthetics like torn lampshades and a stained and dirty TV Ottoman. Electrical needs upgrading, there were no operable smoke alarms visible, and the main television was very small for comfortable viewing. Last issue, the wood deck as shown in the photos is gone. As property owners of a popular rental in Berkeley, we just couldn’t understand what a sad and neglected state the house is in.

So the best part about this house is the location. Just a short walk to the beach and easy drive to restaurants in San Clemente. We did have some issues running out of supplies (we were only there for 4 nights but ran out of toilet paper on day 2 - no extra in the house and had to go buy some and only 1/2 a roll of paper towels were provided). We also did not have any dishwashing detergent but thankfully they brought some over. There was only part of a wine opener so we had to improvise for that as well. The drawers and cabinets in the kitchen are a bit messy and disorganized which also makes it hard to find things. The beds and sleeping areas were fine. I would recommend for the location but it would be nice if they could organize the kitchen a bit better and make sure that toilet paper, paper towels and other cleaning supplies are well stocked that would be helpful.

Perfect spot near the beach. The house had plenty of space for gathering with family/friends. Great location.

Cute little cottage within walking distance to a great beach.

House was in a perfect location. Offered all the amenities needed, and more, for a wonderful extended stay and for our corporate housing needs.... The owner was very quick in responding to questions and wonderful to work with. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay at this property! The house is very cozy and charming, and very functional with everything your family will need for a comfortable stay. The house is well stocked with kitchen, bath, and bed items. Nick the manager is also easy to communicate with. It's a short walking to distance to the beach and an easy 5 minute ride to downtown San Clemente and all the restaurants. We are looking forward to our next future stay! --Guest Nicole and Family

We were looking for a place to stay near Camp Pendleton and found this gem in a great location. We were able to cook & serve Thanksgiving dinner in this very comfortable home. Responsiveness & friendliness of the owners was outstanding. This house will be on our list for any future stays in the area.
