About this house rental

Historic 1928 Artist Loft – Walk to Beach, Trail, Dining & More!

Step into vintage beach-town charm with this adorable, fully remodeled 1-bedroom loft, just a 3-minute stroll to North Beach in San Clemente. Perched above it all in one of the city's first historic homes, this licensed vacation rental blends Spanish-style character with modern comforts—perfect for couples, solo travelers, or a small family looking for a relaxed coastal getaway.

We've had long-term tenants and maintained our short term rental permit - reopening it for this summer :)

Why You'll Love It:

Unbeatable Location: Walk to the sand, beach trail, Ole Hanson Beach Club, train station, cafes, outlet mall, fitness studios, and more. No need to drive!

Professionally Decorated Loft: Cozy and unique, featuring original 1920s hardwood floors, hand-painted Spanish tiles, and custom furnishings throughout.

California King Bed + Sofa Bed: Sleeps 2–3 guests comfortably (2 adults + 1 small child).

Two Private Outdoor Spaces: Morning coffee on the back deck, wine and stargazing on the front patio with lounge seating and al fresco dining.

Fully Stocked Kitchen: Spanish-tiled with new appliances, dishwasher, microwave, and even a cappuccino maker. Just bring your groceries—spices and condiments are here for your use.

Smart TVs + AC: HDTVs in both living room and bedroom, plus rare-for-the-beach window AC units for your comfort.

Garage Parking (Shared): You’ll have priority access to the secure garage (fits midsize or smaller cars). Tenant stores a few items inside, but the space is functional and convenient—especially rare this close to the beach.

The Vibe:

This is a true "Little Village by the Sea" experience. North Beach has a relaxed, eclectic energy that blends residential charm with walkable access to everything you need—surf, sunsets, great food, and friendly locals. It’s less crowded than the Pier Bowl, but still just a scenic 15-minute stroll along the coastline away.

Whether you're looking for a sun-soaked escape, a work-from-beach week, or a romantic stay near the waves, this artist loft delivers serious comfort and style without the pretense.

Book your stay today and experience why San Clemente is the best-kept secret on the SoCal coast.

Lifeguards, restrooms, outdoor showers

Bonus Perks You’ll Love

We’ve designed this space to feel like home—with some thoughtful upgrades you don’t always find in a beach rental. Here’s what guests tell us makes their stay extra special:

Air Conditioning

Rare at the beach—but so appreciated in warmer months. Both the living room and bedroom have window A/C units to keep you cool and comfy.

Fully Stocked Spanish-Tiled Kitchen

Skip the overpriced takeout. This kitchen has everything—from a coffee maker and blender to spices, oils, and full cookware. Dine in, dine out, or dine under the stars.

California King Bed + Quality Linens

No stiff hotel mattress here. Sink into a plush king bed with fresh, hotel-grade linens, a down comforter, and blackout Roman shades.

Smart TVs in Both Rooms

Wind down with your favorite shows. We offer a 42" HDTV in the living room and a second TV in the bedroom—with tons of streaming and cable options.

Two Private Outdoor Spaces

Your own little slice of paradise. Enjoy morning coffee on the back deck and sunset dinners under the chandelier on the front patio.

Priority Garage Parking

Super rare this close to the beach. You'll have priority access to our shared garage (ideal for midsize or smaller cars). Great for stashing bikes, boards, and beach gear too.

In-Unit Laundry

No shared laundry room or quarters needed. You’ll have your own washer/dryer setup—ideal for long stays or beach-heavy days.

Who This Place Is Perfect For

This isn’t your typical beach crash pad—and that’s the point. This loft is best suited for:

Couples looking for a romantic and relaxed escape

Solo travelers needing a creative recharge by the ocean

Snowbirds or long-weekenders who want sunshine without the scene

Remote workers seeking a calming work-from-beach spot (WiFi’s solid!)

Design lovers who appreciate architecture, history, and curated spaces

We don’t host parties, and this isn’t a rowdy Pier Bowl rental. If you’re looking for a laid-back, walk-everywhere beach stay with charm and character, welcome home.

    Lovely stay with great communicationOur time at the property was lovely, and communication with the owners was one of the smoothest and most pleasant experiences I’ve had. They stayed in touch and were kind enough to accommodate a last-minute booking request , which I really appreciated.The house was exactly as listed and a good size for a couple or two friends for sure. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed and a smart TV in the living room. Just a heads-up for future guests: the bedroom has a regular TV with cable, not a smart TV from what we could tell. The house was clean upon arrival, and the water pressure of bathroom was excellent — which I’ve found to be hit or miss at other places, so that was a nice surprise.The outdoor seating area facing the street was a great spot to enjoy a morning coffee, relax, or get some sun. One note: due to the location (with one side of the property facing a main road and the other side near a busy alley), there was some early morning noise starting around 7 a.m. This may have been seasonal, related to summer or local activity.The AC worked great, and I felt very secure with the pin code locks on the doors.Overall, a very good experience and I’d definitely stay again!

    Fantastic place for a relaxing getaway
    Fantastic place for a relaxing getaway
    The property was very clean and exactly what I was looking for. A couple blocks from the beach, this converted space is perfect for a single, like myself, a couple, or a couple with a tag along. The location was great, and the rental really did have everything one would need. Although I didn’t use it, there’s a washer/dryer that I’m sure a small family or someone staying more than a few days would really appreciate. There are restaurants, coffee and liquor shops, and groceries nearby. It was a little drizzly when I stayed, so I spent some hours shopping at the Outlet Mall about a mile away - great place! The rental is very quiet, and I enjoyed using the outdoor areas for sipping coffee or a cocktail. There’s also a grill available for use, which is good to know for the future. I had a great time here, and I’ll definitely stay again should I visit the area in the future.

    Charming House in San Clemente

    I stayed in the upstairs property, which had two balconies and was decorated with charming decor. The bungalow was stocked with everything you would need and more. The owner was available by text and phone and responded to all of my questions promptly. Although there is a garage to park one car, the area is very walkable, with stores, restaurants and a coffee shop very close by. The San Clemente train station and bike rentals are also @5-minute walk away. I had very pleasant and relaxing stay at this San Clemente house.

    We use VRBO quite a bit and have experienced a wide variety of lodging. First the bad news because it is so small. Tough to spot from the road when you first arrive. Get there in daylight. Now for the good news... great host always ready to help; super location; perfect for couple looking to get away for a few of days or more than a week; well furnished and supplied; front and back outdoor spaces are great; king size bed; good wifi connection; window AC is plenty given mild climate; coffee shop next door outstanding; could go on, but let's just say it was wonderful across the board. If you're headed to San Clemente, stay here!
