Beach Vibes!

A gem in beautiful San Clemente! Owners are very warm and welcoming. Renovated rooms with a wonderful beach theme and easy parking. The free trolley to the pier (with very friendly drivers) stops nearby. Only here overnight but we’ll be back!

It was a little retro and super cute, well maintained, clean. We felt safe and it had a cute little court yard. The owners were so sweet and accommodating. Great location. We will certainly stay there again if the opportunity arises! They did a beautiful and fun job in updating the property. Fun color scheme, nice and tastefully decorated. Highly recommend!

The people are wonderful to deal with, and the rooms are very clean and a great location. If you are looking for a good clean standard room with really no great bells or whistles but a wonderful place to rest your head without worrying about bugs crawling across you. This place is wonderful. I will definitely stay again in the future
