Enjoy a beach break at a family-friendly condo that celebrates the beach! You'll perk up after travel immediately when you step inside this condo full of natural light and casual beach decor. Chill out on the private furnished patio, or break out the private gas grill for a delicious dinner. The main area is separated from the bedrooms by a door, so you'll be able to head off to bed peacefully. If you want an even deeper sleep, just pull the room darkening shades closed. Guests can also enjoy access to a shared outdoor pool during their stay.
It's just a short walk from the condo to the beach and the San Clemente Pier - it's a very walkable one-third-of-a-mile! Guests can connect easily to the San Clemente Beach Trail. Rent a bike from Urban Bicycle Outfitters (one-and-a-half miles away) to coast along the trail with ease. Enjoy an early dinner at Pierside Kitchen & Bar two blocks away, or take in something sweet at La Galette Creperie.

Very unkept
The couch was filthy windows had cracks and some no screens parking was a nightmare
I am asking to get some of cleaning deposit back since they offered to come clean couch while I was there but should have been done prior
I have a very disappointed I thought your properties had higher standards
Still waiting to hear back about some reimbursement I even payed extra deposit if case something broke everything was so old appliances was so not worth the money

Great Location. No Bells and Whistles.
Bright apartment with an easy walk to the pier and food. Couch needs a good stain remover and adequate towels and foldout linens should be provided for all guests.We were a party of 5 and only 1 bath towel, hand towel and washcloth were available. Our kids slept on the fold out and would have really appreciated a comforter to keep them warm.

Surfer Crash Pad NOT “Cheerful Condo”
The good:
- Location is close to the pier, it does have an ocean view from the outdoor patio.
- Vacasa support was very responsive.
The bad:
- Property is very dated - rusted fixtures in the bathroom, doors that don’t fully close, no toilet paper can be flushed (😐), only a few power outlets can power a laptop top, windows are challenging to open and have no screens.
- The kitchen can not support anyone that wants/needs to cook - one (1) small pan, 2 pots, utensils are very cheap and old, cooking utensils are non-functional and old, one (1) kitchen hand towel.
- The bathroom has not been updated in 50+ years, cleaned but rust/age makes it feel dirty, water pressure is poor.
- bedrooms show nice bedding and bed skirts in pictures, but reality is no bed skirts, metal portable bed frames, cheap lamps and furniture.
- pool - is also very dated and in need of general maintenance. It was cleaned after requested, but there were just so many bugs and chips on the pool bottom, it is not something you want to use other than to put your feet in to cool off.
- noise - the condo above was doing full demolition all week, floor and window removal, sawing and drilling all day, workers up and down ladder in front of the open windows (there’s no a/c).
- traffic - it is close to the pier on the main street by the beach, that means anyone (car or motorcycle) that wants to cruise and show off their stereo, engine, singing voice etc, you will hear all of it.

Unfortunate
This apartment photographs far better than the condition it is in, it was more worn that expecting.
The statement on the website does not go far enough when it say items cannot be flushed down the toilet. Absolutely nothing, including toilet paper can be flushed down the toilet. So be prepared to throw your toilet paper in the garbage can each time or wait for a public restroom.
Also there was construction in the unit above which caused slamming and thudding noises for more than two days and improved impossible to enjoy the unit or conversation inside during the day.

Worst Vrbo we’ve ever experienced.
We couldn’t use the pool, as it was freezing cold, the laundry facility was not working, the toilet paper couldn’t be flushed in the toilet, the furniture was unsafe; the nightstand fell on our 5 year old. The place was old and in desperate need of remodeling, especially the bathroom!

Great location/area, paper thin walls
Pros - The location is a 10/10 - great ocean view from balcony. Ocean breeze at night, one block walking distance to all restaurants and beach.. the condo itself has all the essentials and was fairly tidy and the bed is very comfy, hotel quality.
The cons
- the upstairs tenant is rude and loud. Every night he hung out right outside our balcony window and drank beers with neighbors and rev up their loud motorcycles until dark (I have a 2 and a 3 year old so not ideal)
- He would play loud music and his tv NIGHTLY past 1030-11 pm and literally vibrates through the ceilings making relaxing and having a quiet vacation night next to
impossible (again keeping my young kids awake) being that the walls are paper thin
- street noise very loud with the master facing the street many things wake u up
- you will need a bag of quarters for the shared laundry which wasn’t mentioned in ad
- vacasa takes days if not longer to email you back which sucks when you have questions.. I’ve felt that staying at VRBO’s with owner-run places usually having better and quicker service
I didn’t want to give this place a mediocre rating because the neighborhood is really cool, the condo is cozy and very bright, and San clemente is such a great place to visit, but there are definite issues with other people in the building who clearly despise having vacationers living below them, which hindered some of our experience

Perfect location and Very Clean
Check in was so easy with a lock box on the railing and was pleasantly surprised at how light, bright and clean the unit was. The location is excellent and a 2 minute walk to the beautiful beach! Would love to stay here again!

We LOVED the location, the pool, the beds, the balcony, the view..... It was PERFECT for us! Being able to walk to the pier, several great restaurants and one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen is what sets this condo apart. We will be back!

We needed a joyful place to rest after getting our son out of 8 days in ICU from a traumatic brain injury from skateboarding. This place was perfect for us. It is very close to the beach, food, and shops! Definitely one of the best places we have stayed at. The property manager was super helpful to us as well.
