Photos and Description of the San Clemente vacation house rental
House, 4 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 3.5 Baths, (Sleeps 7-12)

Custom 3000 square foot home located in the heart of San Clemente - 'The Spanish Village By-The-Sea.' In San Clemente's pier-bowl/downtown Del Mar area, just steps from the sand, dining & shopping. Ideal for single and multi-generational family vacations!

Walking distance to everything! Walk to the beach in 3 minutes, stroll along the pier in 5. Many great surf breaks are right here - you can be paddling into your first wave 5 minutes from walking out the door! This wonderful home is situated less than two blocks from all the boutique shops, wine bars and excellent restaurants on Avenida Del Mar - San Clemente's charming 'downtown' area.

Central location for exploring southern California by car. Located right in the middle of Los Angeles and San Diego (approx. 45 minutes either way). Disneyland, Legoland, Sea World, and the San Diego Wild Animal Park are all within a short drive. Short walk from the house to the Metrolink train station at the pier (4 min).

This is the ideal family vacation home! Two INDOOR swings with full range of movement located in a large upstairs playroom with vaulted ceilings. Dedicated kid's art room. Dozens of board games, dress-up clothes, toys etc. Upright piano. High-speed wireless internet. Two large HD wide-screen TV's (one downstairs with cable TV/DVD and one upstairs with DVD).

Outside we have a fun 60-foot zip-line and two-story playhouse for the little ones. Elevated patio/lounge area with pergola and oversized hammock. Exterior hot water shower for rinsing off after the beach. Soft learner surfboards and plenty of boogie boards, sand toys, beach chairs, umbrellas and more are all included.

Peak ocean view from one of three upstairs balconies. State-of-the-art large professional kitchen with top of the line appliances. Beautiful old-growth cherry hardwood floors throughout entire house. One and one-half baths downstairs, two full baths upstairs. Oversized double shower in master bath.

Beds: Sleeps 7 to 12 comfortably in beds – 1 King, 1 Queen, 3 Twins, and 1 Toddler Bed. We also have a comfortable down-filled couch in the office/4th bedroom that is twin size. Two additional Queen-sized raised AeroBed air mattresses will be supplied (they are very comfortable!). All of the bedrooms are large and can easily accommodate one of the Queen AeroBeds. Plenty of couch space too.

Backyard: The backyard is 900 square feet and consists of irregular stone with grass in-between the stones, large natural gas grill, a 2-story playhouse in one corner, the pictured deck with arbor on the other side, and outdoor shower and zip-line just around the corner (zip-line goes down one side of the house and ends at the arbor). The lighting is great at night with dimmable controls. We also have a copper firepit that can be moved to wherever you need it to go and a picnic-style wood table with benches if you need extra seating to eat or play cards outside. If the nights get a little chilly there is a movable restaurant-style propane fueled outdoor patio heater.

Beach trail: San Clemente completed building a great pedestrian beach trail just a few years ago. It runs all along the coast for about 2.2 miles and can be accessed just down the steps from the house. At the north end of the trail is North Beach - here you can rent bikes for use around town and on the trail. At the south end of the trail is Calafia State Beach with world famous surf break Trestles a little further beyond.

The house is beautiful, very convenient to the beach and to downtown, and full of toys for the kids. We had a great stay with our two kids (who are 1.5 and 3.5 years old).

Our extended family (eight adults and four kids) had a great week in this house! Toys and books and fun of all kinds inside thrilled the kids - especially the indoor swings, miles and miles of train tracks and closet full of dress up clothes. We all enjoyed cooking in the wonderful kitchen and eating on the beautiful patio. (Parents of toddlers should know that the backyard is all stone, so you do have to keep a pretty close eye on the little ones.) The neighborhood is great as well; so close to the pier and beach, walking/running trail, restaurants and shopping downtown. We loved it!

Perfect vacation home in a fantastic location! Situated in a quiet, residential neighborhood, it is a quick and easy walk down to the beach. It is also within walking distance of quaint downtown San Clemente with many shopping and eating options. The house itself is beautiful with all the comforts of home. It slept 8 of us very comfortably, and there were numerous toys available to keep our children happy. Owner was especially nice and easy to work with. We will most definitely be visiting this home again on future vacations and would recommend it to anyone traveling in the San Clemente area.

Wonderful beach home!

  • Submitted: Aug 7, 2010

Our 3 generation family of 9 stayed here for a week. The house proved to be everything that was advertised and so much more. The fully equipped kitchen was a complete delight to cook in, the play room and craft corner were a daily adventure for our 20 month and 3 1/2 year olds! In short we took advantage of all the amenities and everything this house had to offer. The Sunday farmer's market was a great treat and we found a small park close to the beach that the little ones loved.
We would certainly recommend this house, the cool weather and the San Clemente area for everyone.

A Magical Place!

This home by the beach was MORE than we could have asked! Spotlessly clean, magically furnished for children and adults alike, spacious rooms with all the amenities, and a lovely garden retreat. Our family of 12 (children, parents, grandparents) were in heaven for the week! Two blocks from the San Clemente pier and beach, and two blocks from downtown. The owners were a joy to work with, friendly and helpful. We look forward to a return trip!

Great Vacation Home!

We stayed at Tim & Cathy's home for 10 days and enjoyed every minute of it. The house was set up perfectly for our family of 5. The kitchen is equipped with every piece of cooking equipment you could need, and the house has plenty of toys to keep our young children entertained when we weren't at the beach. The house is within walking distance of the beach and downtown San Clemente, and we enjoyed on Sundays the Farmer's market just a couple blocks away. We would recommend this house to anyone!

Best Beach House for Multi-Generational Family Vacation!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Apr 8, 2010
  • Stayed: Mar 2010
Best vacation we ever had in San Clemente because of this fantastic beach house! Our family of 4 (two daughters, ages 3 and 6 1/2), grandparents and my brother and his wife were very comfortable in this lovely, airy, spacious, clean, completely stocked house. Our daughters were delighted (& kept busy!) with the art/crafts nook off the living room, the large boxes of Kapla blocks in the living room, and the fabulous play area upstairs with the indoor swings. Shelves are filled with a wonderful collection of children's books. The kitchen is a gourmet cook's delight with professional appliances and utensils. Beautiful master bedroom suite with ultra comfortable king bed and large shower (and cute toddler bed). Charming children's bedroom with 2 twin beds was ideal for our daughters. Grandparents were comfortable on queen bed in other bedroom and sharing full bathroom with our daughters. Brother & wife slept on queen air mattress which set up easily and comfortably in office. Pocket door & regular door enclosed office and full bathroom from kitchen creating a suite. 1/2 bath outside this downstairs "suite" convenient for rest of family. The home is in a quiet neighborhood with everything we like to do within walking distance (or a short drive) - surfing (Trestles) & beach, yoga (AsanaFit), grocery shopping at Trader Joe's, shopping & dining on Del Mar. We lacked for absolutely nothing during our stay because of the Mashburn's attention to detail. A binder with laminated instruction sheets had excellent local restaurant recommendations categorized by "with kids" or "without kids." Thank you Mashburn family - we will never stay anywhere else in San Clemente!

This house was perfect for our family of 5. Large bedrooms, great common space, a fully equipped kitchen, quiet neighborhood, steps away from the beach and downtown San Clemente...we couldn't have asked for a better situation. The house was impeccably clean, with lots of toys and beach equipment for our three kids, ages 6, 4, and 1. Should we come back to the area, we would definitely want to stay at this house again!
