Great view and private
We stayed in this home for 6 weeks this January-March 2024. It is located in the hills, about a mile from the ocean. It has a great view, fenced backyard and as other reviewers have mentioned it is very private. Only one neighbor with a thick hedge between the lots. It was very clean upon arrival and David the host is very responsive and helpful.
The down side is it is a 40 year old home that appears to be mostly original. The appliances are older and some of the furniture (the TV room especially - where we had a tendency to hang out in the evening) is shot. I think it’s time for an update. For a shorter stay these issues might not have mattered as much.
The location worked out very well for us. We lived in the area for many years and appreciated the easy access to the San Clemente pier and beach walk and Dana Point Harbor. San Clemente has been known to have an abundance of coyotes living in their many canyons and that has not changed. I only mention this if you travel with a dog. There are packs of them that showed up in the small park across the street at dusk, in the canyon below the house and we had one in the backyard one morning. Our dog ran it off but a smaller dog might be in trouble.
