**NOTE:**
BEACH / TRAIL ENHANCEMENT PROJECT
The city is currently enhancing the trail at the base of the path shown in the photo, so this access point is temporarily inaccessible. Rates are discounted as such. The alternate route is only an 8-minute walk to the trail/beach. Please keep reading for details...
That said, the OCEAN VIEWS FROM EVERY ROOM REMAIN EXACTLY THE SAME, providing a captivating backdrop to your stay. The sea remains a constant presence, whether you’re savoring your morning coffee on the expansive deck, listening to the soothing rhythm of the waves, or watching dolphins glide past at sunset.
In the meantime, WALKING access to the beach and beach trail is available through several nearby entry points. The Linda Lane Beach access point, just a leisurely 8-minute walk away, is a guest favorite—and for good reason. This route offers a gentler, less steep path to the sand and trail, and places you even closer to the pier and to the iconic Fisherman’s Restaurant, making it a beautiful and convenient way to begin your coastal stay.
SPACE
Relax on your spacious private deck, complete with a comfortable lounge area, umbrellas, ocean views and a BBQ, or unwind indoors where every room showcases the same ocean backdrop. The indoor-outdoor design is bright and airy, highlighted by a classic Dutch door that enhances the beachside charm. Inside you'll find a well-appointed kitchen, large dining table, real leather sofas, two smart TVs, king-sized bed, built-in desk area, his-and-hers bath, ample storage throughout and an original restored 1960s furnace for heating and timeless character. Enjoy the natural comfort of ocean breezes flowing throughout, complemented by ceiling and portable fans keeping you cool throughout your stay—classic of a coastal experience.
NEIGHBORHOOD
We are set in a friendly, laid-back neighborhood just north of the Pier Bowl area, where you'll blend in with locals. This location offers a retreat away from the congested and loud, tourist-filled areas—yet it’s close enough to walk to the pier and beach, or to downtown boutiques, restaurants, coffee houses and cafes, anytime you like. A convenient neighborhood market, San Clemente Ranch Market, is just a short walk away for quick essentials; Ralphs is a full-size market for heavier loads, and is a few minute's drive into town.
KITCHEN
The custom kitchen is fully equipped with quality appliances and amenities - dishwasher, microwave, coffee-drip maker/filters, food-storage supplies, cleaning supplies, paper towels / kitchen towels, a variety of spices, and range with convection oven etc.—everything you need to prepare meals with ease.
BEDROOM
The spacious, colorful bedroom is a welcoming retreat designed with your comfort in mind. It features a king-sized bed with a plush mattress rated medium-firm (3 out of 4), perfect for a restful night’s sleep. A large window fills the room with natural light and welcomes in gentle ocean breezes, while its location—just off the deck where no other guests pass by—provides plenty of privacy. Blackout curtains ensure you can sleep in peacefully, and the bedroom also offers direct access to the bathroom for added convenience. A built-in desk area provides a convenient spot for work, and a large closet allows for ample storage space. Full length mirrors confirm you're lookin' good! Each side of the bed is equipped with a side table and reading light, along with USB and USB-C charging ports for overnight device charging. Luggage racks provided to keep your belongings off the floor. And for cozy evenings, doze off while watching your smart TV, or don one of the plush white robes provided and head back to the deck to be lulled by the sound of waves.
THE BATH
The Jack & Jill style bath provides convenient access from both the bedroom and family room, and includes double, separate sinks for added ease when sharing the space. A pocket door separates the shower from the loo for even more comfort. A lighted, magnified makeup mirror makes it easy to get ready with precision. The bath also features a shower and deep soaking tub combo, perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. Please note that the tub is slightly higher than average, which may be challenging for guests with limited mobility.
COMPLIMENTARY LAUNDRY
Our complimentary on-site laundry is just a quick 10-second stroll from your front door, with two washers and two dryers that are almost always available - plus free detergent - so you can keep your clothes and towels feeling fresh all vacation long. While we don’t offer daily housekeeping, you’re welcome to toss in a load whenever you like. If you prefer, we can happily arrange housekeeping during your stay for an additional fee.
And since sandy toes are part of the fun, there’s a hose station just around the corner from the laundry room - perfect for rinsing off beach gear and yourself before heading back inside.
THE BEACH-note the comment above about current beach access:
Guests enjoy complimentary beach gear, including a surfboard, body boards, beach chairs and towels, and an umbrella—everything needed for a perfect day by the water.
The beach is ideal for sunbathing, people watching, relaxing, reading, swimming, surfing, bodyboarding, fishing, and stand-up paddling. The waves break over a small reef directly in front, with the best surfing conditions typically found at a medium rising tide. Several other surf breaks are within a short walking distance, including the renowned T-Street Beach. World-class surfing at San Onofre and Trestles—officially the home of the 2028 Olympic surfing contest—is just a 10-minute drive south.
At low tide, the reef reveals a vibrant tide pool ecosystem, featuring starfish, sea anemones, sea urchins, mussels, snails, and more - perfect for curious explorers.
SHOPPING AND RESTAURANTS
Just a few blocks from Casa Mariposa, you’ll find a charming downtown area filled with stylish boutiques, surf shops, antique stores, and a diverse range of local and international dining options. Every Sunday, the Farmer’s Market brings the community together with stalls featuring unique souvenirs, local art, and freshly harvested organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs. A short stroll will take you to the pier, where you can soak up the sun and ocean breeze, try your hand at fishing, or unwind with a meal at the beloved Fisherman’s Restaurant.
