Quaint coastal cottage with large front patio in North Beach

My wife, daughter and I very much enjoyed staying at this condo in San Clemente.

My husband and I had an awesome Christmas stay at the cottage. Stephanie makes sure you have everything you need to make your stay enjoyable.

I had a relaxing, beautiful stay in San Clemente! Perfect location and just a short walk to the beach and trail.

We loved our stay at the cottage. It was a perfect size for our 2 kids and dog. PROS Everything was in great condition and comfortable. There was an oversized couch we loved as well as comfy outside furniture. The owner was easily accessible and helped us to unlock the child lock on the stove as well as replace a lightbulb in front. Every type of dish and pan that is needed is right there. We LOVED the two coffee shops in walking distance (a French one that overlooks the ocean and High Tide). We ate daily at the Shwak Cantina, which is the BEST Mexican food and atmosphere for lunch or dinner. We enjoyed the 1+ mile walk to the pier, but due to a landslide... much of the beach walking parts is closed, so you walk through the neighborhoods. CONS What we did not realize is that it is actually a duplex where you have a shared wall with other tenants. The wall is thin (only from the master bedroom) and conversations as well as the tv can be heard. You are also sharing the washer dryer in the garage with the other tenants, who used it frequently so we had to sneak a load in at 10pm. There is no dishwasher, which ended up being fine with us. I would also caution about the location. There is a homeless population that crosses near those streets to and from the beach at night so be sure to do any dog walking in the neighborhood only. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would consider staying there again.
