Montalvo Oceanview Escape | Near Beach & Pier
Welcome to Montalvo Oceanview Escape—a chic, stylish, custom-designed three-story coastal retreat in beautiful San Clemente. Just a short walk from the beach and perched above a serene canyon with peek-a-boo ocean views, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home blends elevated design with effortless coastal living.
The top floor is dedicated to restful sleeping quarters, offering a quiet escape at the end of the day. The primary suite features a king bed, a dedicated desk, and a spacious en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, dual vanity, and a soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms, each with a queen bed, enjoy scenic canyon and peek-a-boo ocean views and share a hallway bathroom with a walk-in shower, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere throughout the level.
The middle level is the heart of the home and is fully open concept, designed for seamless entertaining. The living room features a cozy fireplace and flows directly into the pool table area, dining space, and kitchen—allowing everyone to stay connected whether cooking, dining, or playing a game. A convenient half bath is also located on this level. Step out onto the main-level balcony, where you’ll find the BBQ for easy al fresco dining while overlooking the canyon with gentle ocean peeks beyond. Additional balconies extend the living space outdoors with fresh coastal air and peaceful views.
A second outdoor gathering area offers comfortable seating and a fire pit—an inviting spot to relax in the evenings, enjoy conversation, or wind down under the stars.
A standout feature of the home is the private bottom-floor attached ADU, offering exceptional flexibility and added privacy. This space includes its own living room, kitchenette, king bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a private washer and dryer, and a ping pong table for additional entertainment.
The home is dog-friendly and welcomes up to two dogs, making it easy to bring your four-legged companions along.
After a day exploring San Clemente’s beaches, coastal trails, restaurants, and shops, unwind with a game of pool, challenge friends to ping pong, grill and dine outdoors, or relax by the fire pit as the canyon scenery sets the tone for peaceful evenings. A rare three-car garage is an added bonus—especially valuable in this area where parking is limited. Whether you’re visiting for a coastal getaway, group stay, or extended retreat, Montalvo Oceanview Escape offers style, space, and a truly memorable Southern California experience.

Very Good

Overall we really enjoyed this home. The location is great, the house was clean and having garage parking was a bonus because street parking was difficult. The things that could be improved are the mattress in the master bedroom and the pillows, both were very uncomfortable. Also, a few hours after we checked in the host was messaging and calling me asking if we were going to be at the house at noon the next day because the electrician was coming. I told him that I would prefer that he schedule a contractor after we checked out and they were agreeable but it was definitely a turn-off. No one wants to deal with a contractor at someone else's home on vacation.

Reviewer Comments:
Newly remodeled with lots of on-site amenities. (Ping pong table, pool table...) with a lovely view of the ocean off in the distance. The canyon views were a highlight when we spent an evening watching two owl soar through the air. The amount of hummingbirds was also magical. Bring a speaker if you like to listen to background music. And also bring a hair dryer.

Reviewer Comments:
The property was clean, cozy, and offered a nice view, with a great location close to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The three separate living levels and nice outdoor space also worked well for our group of eight. However, this is absolutely not a luxury rental experience, and we encountered several major downsides that would prevent us from booking again or recommending it. First, the key pad did not work. Sharing a single physical key between eight people was a complete disaster, though we did appreciate the property manager coming to let us in when we accidentally locked the key inside. Second, there is a severe ant problem; we had to throw away $60 worth of groceries after leaving them out overnight because any opened food not immediately placed in the fridge was instantly swarmed.The amenities were incredibly sparse. We were provided exactly eight towels for eight people, forcing us to wash a load of laundry every single night using a washer that sounded like it was washing a bucket of large rocks. Basic essentials like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, coffee filters, and even a single hair dryer were completely missing. To make matters worse, the checkout process felt like a scam. We were charged $160 for two cheap towels and a top sheet that had some brown makeup on them, without the property management even attempting to launder them first. While I understand paying for actual property damage, being charged replacement fees before the items were even washed is unacceptable. It was an okay stay overall, but we will not be back.
This house was super clean and awesome decor! Beds are comfy and definitely liked the downstairs. The view was perfect and easy access to the beach just a short walk!
