Our stay at Casa Del Mar was absolutely perfect! The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to the beautiful San Clemente Pier beach, and surrounded by an incredible selection of restaurants all within walking distance. It made exploring the area so easy and enjoyable.The condo itself felt like a full-on beach resort. Every amenity we could have possibly needed was already there, which made packing and planning for the trip incredibly simple. It was comfortable, beautifully maintained, and truly felt like a home away from home.Pete and Cathy are outstanding hosts. Communication was top-notch from start to finish, and they went above and beyond by sharing local tips, activity updates, and some great restaurant recommendations that we ended up loving!Our family had an amazing time and created priceless memories that we’ll cherish forever. We’re already talking about our next visit—can’t wait to come back!

Summertime

The condo was amazing. Had a nice little backyard. We had two little dogs. It was very convenient. We walked all the restaurants on the beach. They provided all the beach, chairs, towels, and umbrella umbrellas, which was very nice for us and it was very quiet at night we would highly recommend staying here.

Perfect Getaway

I traveled to San Clemente with 3 friends to play pickleball, and it was the perfect location. We walked to the beach, coffee shops, stores, and restaurants. It was a short drive to Life Time to play pickleball on their beautiful courts. The trip was better than anticipated! We all loved our stay. Thank you!

Wonderful accommodations & attentive hosts!

We come to San Clemente multiple times per year to visit our daughter and her family but this visit we were also brining my father-in-law and daughter-in-law and needed quite a bit more room. This condo was perfect! Clean and spacious with a spot-on location, and the hosts were very attentive and available for any questions. And they left wine! Highly recommend. And if we ever need a larger space to visit we will definitely be back here again.

Perfect Girls Trip

This condo is a San Clemente gem. It’s a great location, park your car and walk for your entire stay. It’s a short, although somewhat hilly, walk to the beach. And a very short walk to the local restaurants and shopping. The hosts of the condo are so fantastic! This was the most well stocked rental I have ever stayed at and she is very responsive if you need anything. Our stay was the perfect back to school girls trip.

This place was perfect for us! We rented a few houses for family and friends for our daughter’s wedding. We had a bridal shower here, we got ready for the wedding here, and this house was the gathering place for dinners. The pictures and the description do not do it justice. The back yard was so spacious and fit us all perfectly. The fire pit was really nice on the cooler evenings. The bikes and beach gear were a great plus! The location is perfect! And any question we had, the owners were so quick to respond. We would definitely stay here again! It was a great place to stay! This place definitely earned its 5 star review!

Just Perfect

Casa del Mar is the perfect place to stay if you appreciate quality, convenience, and personal attention. Cathy and Pete (hosts) were prompt and responsive in communication and personalized our experience. The amenities of Casa del Mar are top notch: comfortable beds, quality bed linens, towels, and kitchenware (pots/pans, dishes, glasses), rugs (love the rug pad in the living room!), etc. Convenient TVs throughout the home, hot tub, fire pit (love) and standing heater! Loved having access to the beach chairs (gonna get some of these for our home), boogie boards, and beach towels. Super close to beach and quaint downtown. I only wish we extended our stay one-more day to make use of the bikes!! Will definitely be back.
