About

Welcome to your home away from home at our Mermaid Cottage by the Sea. This San Clemente gem is located within walking distance to all the area’s best beaches and is sure to make a splash with lasting memories created with your closest family and friends.

Recently updated, the Mermaid Cottage is designed for ultimate comfort and relaxation. The second-floor great room is the center of it all – a 75” television with soundbar is the perfect spot for a movie night in with enough seating to gather the entire family around and soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams. Just off the great room is a patio overlooking the back yard, with bistro seating for two – and a quiet place to enjoy your morning cup of coffee or an evening cocktail.

The great room opens directly to the kitchen and dining area and is the perfect open-concept space for entertaining guests. The gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, Viking gas cooktop, double ovens, French door refrigerator, and dishwasher is nicely appointed to meet all your culinary needs. Planning on having a few friends over for dinner? Be sure to chill that bottle of Rosé in the wine fridge for the perfect temp.

The large dining table has seating for nine, with three additional seats at the kitchen bar for a total seating capacity of 12. The sitting area adjacent to the dining room is the perfect place to relax next to the fire on chilly nights and mornings.

The light and bright primary suite is the perfect respite from a busy day by the sea. The king-sized bed with crisp white linens and down comforter will ensure you drift off into a quiet slumber each night. The charming bay window lets in ample sunlight during the day, with window shades for calm when desired. The en-suite bathroom with double vanity, shower, and fresh spa towels offers additional privacy.

There are three additional bedrooms in the home to keep guests comfortable and relaxed. The first bedroom features a queen bed with access to the hallway bathroom, single vanity and shower, and has sliding door access to the backyard. The second guest bedroom includes a queen-sized bed, and access to an attached bathroom with a single vanity, and a tub with shower combo. The third guest bedroom is a perfect place for the youngest guests of the group and consists of a twin-over-full bunkbed with an additional twin trundle to sleep up to four. The bunk suite also features access to a shared bathroom.

The beautiful backyard is sure to be a hit with guests of all ages. Fire up the grill and enjoy the cool ocean breeze while dining al fresco year-round, with dining seating for eight. Enjoy your evening sitting around the outdoor firepit with seating for all as you soak in the salty air in the private backyard. For the youngest guests, the tree house, swing, and outdoor games are sure to be the star of this home.

Just a short walk from the cottage is access to several area beaches. Don’t be a fish out of water! Take advantage of the beautiful coastline of the California Riviera during your stay. If you aren’t in the mood to walk to the beach, no problem. All area beaches provide public parking.

The cottage also comes with additional entertainment amenities, including outdoor games (cornhole, croquette, bocce ball, and football), a full-size ping pong table located in the garage, two bikes, chairs, umbrellas, towels, and an assortment of beach items and toys to make the most of your vacation.

There is also plenty to explore in the immediate area. Downtown San Clemente and the San Clemente Pier are a 5-minute drive from the home, with endless options for fun, relaxation and gourmet dining. The Orange County area is home to art and historical sites that are worth exploring. For some family fun, Disneyland, Legoland, Seaworld, the San Diego Zoo, and more are all within a 1-hour drive from the house.

**Guest is required to sign our rental contract prior to receiving access to the house.

We had a wonderful time at the Mermaid Cottage by the Sea. My family and my husband and I were there for my stepson's wedding and the house was the perfect size for the seven of us! It was clean and beautifully decorated! It was within walking distance to the beach and was perfectly located from all if our weddings events. We even managed to fit in a couple of days in Disneyland! Only a 15-20 minute drive!! The management staff couldn't have been nicer and were great to work with! I left my phone at the house, and I live on the East Coast. I contacted the property manager, Jordan, and he was wonderful! He shipped my phone right back to me and I had it within a few days!! It was such a memorable trip!! The Mermaid Cottage by the Sea did not disappoint!!

Super easy check in/out. Kitchen was spectacular and back yard great for kids. Garage was easy for storing surf boards and bikes. Only negative was not super easy to walk to beach down steep long steps to beach. T street and San Clemente state beach still a super quick drive.

We enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cottage. It was clean and offered lots of room for us all to be comfortable. (3 bathrooms!) We started our week off with a very wet hurricane but luckily it didn't linger and we had sunny nice weather the rest of our stay. The house had lots of beach essentials and toys. We used them all. Our 2 year old granddaughter was happy to have some sand toys. Flying in from out of state, one can't bring chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, coolers, boogie boards etc. Yet all those really are 'necessary' for a beach vacation. Management was very easy to work with and I could recommend this house to others.

Manager's Response

Thank you Peter for your kind review. We are happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your stay with us at our home in San Clemente. It's great to know that all the amenities provided made it easy for you to enjoy days at the beach.

You and your family were very thoughtful and considerate guests, and we welcome all future visits.

We loved our stay! The home was cozy and cute! The owners and property management team have thought of everything. The beach gear was especially nice to have, and we loved how close the beach was--within walking distance. Comfortable beds, clean home, and the fire pit in the backyard was fun! Communication before hand was professional and prompt. They went above and beyond to answer all our questions. We would love to return!

Thank you Andrew for your kind review. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the accommodations at the house in San Clemente. It is great to know your group was comfortable and the amenities at the house met your needs.

We welcome all future visits and hope to host another stay with us.

San Clemente is a beautiful place to make new memories. Thank you for hosting us at the Mermaid Cottage. We especially enjoyed the personal touches making it a cozy stay; the outdoor spaces to relax and games provided; the charming neighborhood; being walking distance to the beach and a short drive to plenty of shopping and dining. We’d love to be able to return to San Clemente and this lovely home.

I rented this for family in town for my daughter's wedding. Although I never spent more than 30 minutes in the home, I was very impressed on the size, the upgrades, the cleanliness and the decor. My family was delighted with it inside and out. The backyard is wonderful too! The Sand and Surf contact I was working with, Jordan, went above and beyond to make the experience seamless and was great to work with.

Thanks so much for taking time to leave lovely feedback! We are glad to know you had a wonderful experience while in town for your special event.

You never know what you are going to get when renting a house. This property is everything advertised plus more! A short walk to the beach (a 2 & 3 year old was able to make it), great neighborhood, great house, great backyard. We loved our stay and will go back! We had 5 adults and 5 young kids.

Our stay at the Mermaid Cottage was sod wonderful. We were in town for 5 days for our son's wedding at Casa Romantica and the Mermaid Cottage was a clean and quiet get away from the crazy celebrations! Everything is the house made us feel at home, and it was clean, quiet and very comfortable. We will stay there again if we are in town!
