San Clemente Beach House

The stay at Casa Elena was wonderful!!Had Fathers Day there with the family, the house and location made it one of the most memorable beach vacations ever!Thank you Max!

Close to beach, down town.

I came with my husband and two teen girls to enjoy San Clemente and time at the beach. The small home, though older, is clean, warm and cozy with tasteful beach decor and comfortable furnishings. It was a perfect getaway. We could walk to the beach trail and San Clemente Pier from the home in under 10 min and loved watching the surfers and hearing the waves crash on the shore. The home is well appointed with everything one could need for cooking at home and enjoying the beach. We will definitely be back.

Overall, we really liked Casa Elena. The house is on a very quiet street and you can easily walk to the beach. It is walkable to the downtown area, but it is a bit farther. The house is very cute and appointed with numerous amenities. One suggestion, if possible, would be to update the outdoor furniture, which is somewhat dated and in need of some freshening up. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Elena. One last suggestion: on hot days the house could use a fan, as the kitchen has ceiling windows that do not block out the sun.

We enjoyed our stay @ this property, its quiet location near the beach and it indoor and outdoor gathering spaces.

Our stay to visit our Marine was fabulous. Plenty of room for us. Plenty of space for us all to have our own are if needed. The view from the roof top was awesome for my morning coffee. Kitchen had everything we needed. We were there 5 days. Cooked breakfast. Cooked Dinner 2 nights and ate out a few times. The owener even let us check in a bit early ( thank you so much ) He was also easy to get a hold of and returned my questions in a timely manner. The only issue we had coming into the neighborhood was that the ONE way road this home is on was closed , so had to enter the wrong way due to plumbing issues/trucks that were taking place across the street . Just bad timing and couldn't be helped. My minivan was about the length of the driveway so if you have a longer vehicle you will have to park on the street. We had 2 cars , sometimes 3 just depending on the day. I walked to the beach / pier every day ! it was great ! Id definatly stay again.

Excellent location, close to the San Clemente pier. Ok street. Exceptionally cute, charming home. But, it smells musty unless all the windows and doors are open. It could have used a thorough deep clean, but all surface areas and the bathroom were clean enough to use. There was an ant problem that the owner took care of immediately.

Max is an excellent host and his home was perfect for our family trip. The home exceeded our expectations as fast as location, general accommodations and cleanliness. You can walk to the beach or the restaurants and shops on the Del Mar strip within 10-15 minutes (albeit with hills which is unavoidable in San Clemente). The rooftop deck offers terrific views of the ocean and San Clemente pier. The outdoor area is small but well appointed with lots of seating area, BBQ, and firepit. The yard is beautifully landscaped with wisteria blooming during our early April visit. All of the conveniences of home are offered. We would stay at Casa Elena again.

Cute house located 3 minutes from the pier -beach walking trail and 10 minutes to great shops and restaurants . House had some issues (oven didn’t not work) but owner did come by and try to fix but couldn’t. House needs some attention but it’s got a lot going for it.

What a great place for a family vacation in San Clemente! Casa Elena was perfect for our family of 5 (it feels like home, feels bigger than it actually is, and it's a perfect location:)...and we can't wait to come back. Morning walks to coffee at the pier, 1 minute drive (or 5 min walk) to T Street beach for most days, short walk or drive downtown for everything else you need. All the amenities you need, and more! God bless this charming beach house!
