Seaside Retreat Apartment with Oceanview - Upstairs

Creatively decorated (Nautical) 1 bedroom apartment perfect for a personal, family, romantic retreat, w/generous long-stay discounts. Beautiful ocean views from both rooms, located close to stairs to the beach (Diji Ct)/beach trail. Sleeps 4 adults. Internet-connected TV, extremely fast internet (300+ mbs), well-stocked kitchen. Upstairs unit (no elevator).

Free parking for one car in driveway.

The kitchen has a refrigerator, microwave, stove, oven, coffee maker, blender, toaster and is fully stocked with pots and pans for cooking and dishes and silverware.

There is no a/c. But multiple fans are provided and the windows can be opened for the cool ocean breeze to come in.

Within walking distance of Ole Hansen’s and the Casino where many weddings are held.

The Seaside Retreat is charming and relaxing. It has one bedroom (queen bed) and a living area that includes a daybed that sleeps 2 (2 single beds with mattresses). The mattresses can be pushed together to make one bed (bedding is available for either configuration). The restroom is located and accessed through the bedroom. The ocean can be viewed from both the living room and bedroom windows over the roof of one other unit.

2-night minimum stay requested.

Additional Charges:
$100 cleaning fee.
10% San Clemente Short-term Occupancy Tax collected by Vrbo at booking. (Stays of 30 days or more are eligible for an exemption).

San Clemente Permit STLU-318707

The property is completely Non-Smoking inside/outside. Smoking of any kind on the property or in the Unit will result in a fee of $250. One can smoke on the street sidewalk.

No pets allowed. $250 fine if a animal is found on the property during your stay. *We keep our units pet free for the future guest and their possible allergy concerns. If a dog is bought to the unit we have to have the carpets clean and the unit complete sanitized so we can offer a pet environment. Which also takes an extra day to prepare again for the next guests. Thus this is why the $250 pet fee is charged.

There are 3 other units on the property that also can be rented (if available) to provide up to 6 bedrooms and that legally can hold up to 20 people. Towels, linens and beach towels are provided.
Available to borrow: beach chairs, beach umbrellas, sand toys and a boogie board. Free parking for one car in the driveway. Any other cars can be parked on the street.

The kitchen has a refrigerator, microwave, stove, oven, coffee maker, blender, toaster and is fully stocked with pots and pans for cooking and dishes and silverware.

There is no a/c. But multiple fans are provided and the windows can be opened for the cool ocean breeze to come in. The retreat does not have access to the large ocean front deck area, the usage of this goes with the cottage and bungalow as rentable on Vrbo for their exclusive use.

10% San Clemente transient occupancy tax will be added to the bill, payable through Vrbo or at check-in. (Stays of 30 days or more are eligible for an exemption). San Clemente is a quaint beach community and a popular vacation spot. The house is in the North-beach area. There is beach access one house away that leads down to the beach, (109 stairs down) to a beach walking trail leading to the San Clemente pier and beyond. Heading up from the pier is Del Mar, which is a quaint shopping & dining area with many shops, restaurants and trendy bars. The San Clemente outlets are only 1/2 mile away. Dana Point Harbor is only 5 miles north on Hwy 1 for more shopping and dining, or for booking fishing, whale watching or Catalina trips. There is one parking place off the street, with street parking for any guests. The metro train is available within half a mile. Many great day-trips via train can be made, such as traveling up to Union Station in Los Angeles, an Angels game, or down to San Diego for a visit to the zoo, etc. The property is located only a mile from the 5 freeway and halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego. In the summer there is a trolley that provides visitors with free rides around town to the various shopping and tourist areas.
The apartment is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a travel crib. Housekeeping is available on request.

Cozy & quiet

This apartment is fine for a couple or small family. You can hear the ocean even with the windows closed which was very relaxing. Beach access steps were closed off due to slope movement.
