Incredible Cottage
Rikki was an amazing host! Everything was perfect! The deck had comfy furniture and there was even a BBQ (even though I didn't use it, just to know it was there was awesome). Loved the beachy decor in the cottage...so good. And... walking to the San Clemente beach is less than 10 minutes away!!

This little charm was a nice place to stay. The floors were cleaner than anywhere I’ve stayed. The queen bed was very comfortable. Water pressure in shower was really good. Towels and sheets were soft and smelled fresh. Easy walk to beach. There was no ocean view- maybe if it were sunnier I could see it standing in the house through some power lines. Could not hear ocean from the cottage even though the location is so close to the beach. Good communication from Riki. Enjoyed my stay.

Central Location
Great central location that provides easy access to all parts of San Clemente. Dedicated parking spot. Home was clean and neat. There are about 12 stairs to enter the home - not a problem for us but might be for some. I would stay again.

The weather wasn’t the best, cold & clouds, but it was December! But we had a great Christmas in this lovely house. The town is quite hilly but you can walk just about everywhere: the beach, downtown and even Ralph’s grocery store. The kitchen is well equipped except there was only one large pot. Hard to make pasta to go with spaghetti & meatballs with just one! Also, the couch could be replaced. I would get a larger one as this is the only real sitting space besides the kitchen chairs. Riki is the best! She gets back to you right away. We never got to grill out but there is a great deck with lots of seating. I would go back in the warmer months. A great place though!

Great location for a comfortable beach stay
Location is convenient for walking either to the beach or to the downtown restaurants.
Cottage is comfortable with lots of room for 2 people. WiFi is great, very fast.
Outdoor deck is very roomy and airy with plenty of seating.
This was my second stay here so I definitely recommend.

Riki San Clemente, Calif.
We totally enjoyed our stay in SC. Riki was a perfect host. Loved being in a neighbourhood, rather than a resort. Felt very safe, close to food, groceries, gas, beach, sunsets, relatives. Quiet neighbourhood, beautiful flowers, cacti everywhere. A variety of age groups, loved that. Great tv selection. Everything worked well, appliances, plumbing, etc. Great neighbours.

Nice place in San Clemente, walk to the beach and restaurants
We had a nice stay at Riki's, who was really welcoming and kind. The check-in was perfect and she made sure to respond quickly. She even had a plumber come in and change the water heater who was making weird noises. The condo is functionnal and well equiped. A little improvement of the cleanliness could be great.

Very Good Stay
There were many things we enjoyed about our stay, which was a month long as we were here for business. The location was excellent, 5 minutes walk from the lovely downtown core with restaurants and bakery, 10 minutes to pier area where you could pick up a walking path. Having the garage is important in San Clemente and even if your car is large, you have the space in front of the garage to park. A family could comfortably stay here as the 2 day beds in the living room are very comfortable. One of us slept on one when we were sick. The kitchen is well appointed for cooking. We especially appreciated that there were a lot of (matching, thank you) glass wear and dishes so that you did not have to run the dishwasher every day. The decor was beachy and nice, the deck was large and there was a new BBQ (that we did not actually use), and beach gear available. Host very responsive when we needed something.
