White Water Views and Steps to Sand

If you are looking for a beach house with quick beach access, amazing ocean views, indoor/outdoor comfort and luxury, this is the place for you!

Perched high in a quiet beach neighborhood, you are only steps to the sand and the San Clemente Beach Trail. San Clemente is a unique blend of chic-chic and surf culture.

Host was very accommodating. Answered my questions quickly and clearly. Provided reminders before key points (check in, etc.). A great host. The place is clean, well-accommodated and very nice. Includes new appliances, quality utensils, plenty of plates and serving ware. It worked out perfectly for us. We would DEFINITELY do it again.

Perfect fit

We were in San Clemente for our son’s wedding. We needed space for 2 small children and 4-5 adults. It was a great fit since the 3 floors of living space( top floor is an outdoor patio) meant kids could be in a quiet zone while adults did wedding prep. Also, we had a post wedding swim. 20 or so people used the boogie boards.

Girls’ Getaway

This was a reunion of four friends. The house was amazing because it had so many seating areas. The living room was great for just hanging out. And then the rooftop patio was also amazing. Plenty of seating, and views of the ocean. The house is walking distance to the beach, and walking distance to old San Clemente downtown with great restaurants, shopping and thrifting. The kitchen was very well outfitted, and the beds were super comfy. Everyone had a great time and loved the house.

Beautiful Beach Vacation

This lovely vacation house is just two blocks from the beach, with balconies that overlook the ocean. Lots of space for our family and friends who came over for dinner. San Clemente is such a cute town. And you can walk everywhere. Beach, downtown etc. There are a lot of steps since it’s like a townhouse style. But the steps weren’t a problem for us. The reward for the steps is an awesome rooftop patio!

What a Gem!

We have been to San Clemente many times and have been so fortunate with all the places we have stayed- this property ticked every single box. We had 3 glorious weeks here. It is exactly as described, clean, comfortable, with all the comforts and extras. We are a family of 5 and had lots of space. We especially enjoyed the upstairs seating area, where we could sit and watch the ocean. Its location is perfect- steps from the beach at Mariposa. Edmund provided beach chairs, body boards and an umbrella, which was so welcome. Also, washing machine/dishwasher detergent etc. was provided, which is much appreciated in a rental. Parking is easy and the walk to Del Mar takes less than 15 minutes. Such a great home. We will be back!! Thanks Edmund and Co. from Ireland.

Perfect location and steps to beach

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this San Clemente beach house. We knew going in about the stairs which was no big deal for us and teenage boys! Anyone with mobility issues might not fend as well. The house is spacious and so comfortable!! It has everything you need from kitchen supplies to bathroom supplies and all the entertainment including surf boards!! The roof deck is amazing! The owner went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our stay. The location is close to the beach, shops, restaurants and a fun walking/biking trail. Our only bummer was that we didn't see the sun the entire 6 days of our stay. (It was foggy/rainy/cloudy/misty the whole time.) But that's beyond our control! Hopefully we'll be able to come again and enjoy some sun as well. Then it would be pure perfection. Thank you Edmund!!!!

Perfect Location for a Relaxing Getaway

We went to San Clemente to visit family for the 4th of July. Our stay here was perfect! We spent most of our time with family at their house, but this was the perfect location with a view of the water. It provided everything we needed in this cute town.

Beach walk to the pier. Great kitchen with a bbq grill. Plenty of storage. 5 min drive to the breweries and food places. Absolutely recommend this to anyone .

This was a great property for hosting 7 guys for a get-away weekend. Very close access for walking the beach, and as well for walking to dinner each night.

About the host

Hosted by Edmund Plummer

Host profile image
We (Edmund and Anna) are college sweethearts who had a lifetime dream of moving to California from Florida. In 2003, we made the move and began working on our next dream: To own a beautiful property close to the ocean in our favorite beach town of San Clemente.

We love San Clemente so much that we said our wedding vows and celebrated at the Ole Hanson Community Center just 1/2 mile north of our property at North Beach.

10 years after transplanting to Southern California (and after a lot of hard work), we purchased the property that we call 'Ocean Breezes.'

Our goal was to create a home away from home, where vacationers could enjoy the beautiful beaches and laid back lifestyle that make San Clemente such a desirable location.

We plan on coming back to Ocean Breezes every year...And, we hope you enjoy your stay so much that you do, too!
