There were many things we enjoyed about our stay, which was a month long as we were here for business. The location was excellent, 5 minutes walk from the lovely downtown core with restaurants and bakery, 10 minutes to pier area where you could pick up a walking path. Having the garage is important in San Clemente and even if your car is large, you have the space in front of the garage to park. A family could comfortably stay here as the 2 day beds in the living room are very comfortable. One of us slept on one when we were sick. The kitchen is well appointed for cooking. We especially appreciated that there were a lot of (matching, thank you) glass wear and dishes so that you did not have to run the dishwasher every day. The decor was beachy and nice, the deck was large and there was a new BBQ (that we did not actually use), and beach gear available. Host very responsive when we needed something.
