- two car limit was problematic, as there wasn't an option to even drop off or pick up guests, no close by overnight parking - split AC units don't work - balcony railing was not safely secured to the deck upon arrival, possibly putting an unsuspecting guest at risk of falling onto rocks below or being swept out to the ocean

The deck and views are incredible. Chris was easy to work with and we arrived early from out of state and we got to check in a little early. It's a beautiful home and close to great shopping, restaurants and the San Clemente Pier. You can't go wrong with this home.

Awesome experience. We had everything we needed here. Communication with the host was great as well. Loved the fact that you had to enter with the security guard at the front gate. Of course being right on the water was great as well. Everything worked fine and we had no issues. Can’t wait to stay again!

6/10 Okay

Liked: Communication, location
The property had a great location and great amenities such as e-bikes. There was some issues that we didn’t expect and I’m sure didn’t exist when we booked the property. The weather and climate change didn’t allow us to access any beach from the property because the stairs were washed away. Also the A/C wall units didn’t work which would be ok if we could have had the garage doors open to the back deck. But based on the intense ocean waves which we weren’t aware of prior to check-in which required us to close the “garage doors” in the early evening and have no air flow to the main bedroom in the house and the living room. I think the description of the current situation should be listed so people know the changes. We talked to a neighbor who was boarding up his windows during our stay which made it clear that conditions have been changing over the past few months. Transparency would have been appreciated going into our stay.

The home is a little jewel box in a gated area. It’s been renovated and everything is clean and new. The casita is in the front area and doesn’t have an ocean view but the ocean waves can be heard in every room.

Amazing location, clean modern house, great host

Amazing location - unobstructed view of the ocean and a beautiful deck. We lived out there. The house is renovated with lovely modern finishes and beautifully decorated. A perfect beach escape! The outdoor blinds are a great added touch if you are worried about ocean sound being loud (for light sleepers) The property is in gated community and the house right on the water. And the gate attendants are very helpful. The parking is right behind the house.

Very beautiful ocean-front property - relaxing while listening to the waves. The balcony provides panoramic views. The house is cozy yet spacious for 3 to 4 people. Beautifully furnished with contemporary design. Heat/coo pumps for living/dining, and two more for each bedrooms. Master bedroom faces ocean with access to the huge balcony. 2nd bedroom has 2 single bunk beds, where you need to step outside for couple steps to get to - there is a nice en suite bathroom for the 2nd bedroom. We found the stay private and relaxing - very much enjoyed and hope to stay again. Finally, Chris, our host was very responsive and friendly. Highly recommend!!

This property is in a very quiet and secluded, gated neighborhood. It has been wonderfully upgraded and has everything you would expect. There is even a sound bar to Bluetooth your phone to listen to music. Having a washer and dryer was a huge plus. Check in and out was easy and hassle free. If you bring a dog, there isn’t anywhere for them to relieve themselves so come prepared. The deck is stunning and we spent most of the time out there. The only surprise was that this property is adjacent to the railroad tracks and it’s quite busy. However, if the ocean side doors are open, the crashing waves will drown out the noise.

1-Star ReviewUnfortunately, this property was not a good fit for our family, and our vacation was significantly impacted by several issues.Although the listing is described as a two-bedroom home, the bedrooms are not under the same roof. For families with young children, this layout was neither practical nor something we felt comfortable with.The biggest concern was the condition of the deck. It had missing railings, missing stair railings, a missing deck plank, and areas that were buckling, making parts of it feel unsafe to use. The outdoor space was one of the primary reasons we chose this property, but we were unable to enjoy it.Before and during our stay, we were informed that the deck would be repaired while we were there. The contractor did not arrive on the day we were told, and when he did arrive the following day, he advised us the repairs would take several days,not the one-day repair we had been led to expect. We also experienced an excessively hot bedroom that remained uncomfortable during our stay.Because these issues were never resolved, we made the difficult decision to leave two nights early. We communicated our concerns throughout our stay and hoped to reach a fair resolution afterward. Unfortunately, despite multiple attempts to resolve the matter, we have not received a response from the owner.Every traveler has different priorities, but we believe future guests should be aware of these conditions when deciding whether this property is the right
