About this property

Watch the Waves Best Location Casa Azul

Welcome to San Clemente the quaint village by the sea. You are currently viewing Casa Azul, the House by the Sea. Send an email and see what we have to offer!
VRBO has created a new rental pricing format that doesn't always work correctly. Please contact me for the rate or see my rate chart. There are weekly and monthly discounts available.

Now let's talk about the rental! The casa is a duplex. You are looking at the lower unit. There are two entirely separate living apartments distinctively decorated, one upstairs Apt 'B', one downstairs Apt 'A'. Each apartment has two bedrooms with the same floor plans. We are in the best location in a quiet low density area of San Clemente just two blocks north of the pier bowl area, here it is much quieter. We have a nice open area and a great community park in the little canyon just steps below us which you can see in the photos. Just click on that first photo and you'll see the inside of the unit. Also, you can actually see and hear the waves even from inside the casa!

We have four gigantic five by eight-foot windows that look out to the beautiful unobstructed view of the waves and ocean sunsets. There is nothing but fresh ocean air between you and the beach. At Casa Azul you will have your own patio, off street parking (a real commodity at the beach), and a feeling of comfort that comes from knowing you can walk to the beach, main street or pier all in a matter of minutes!

On Main Street, which is really named Avenida Del Mar, you will find great restaurants, craft fairs, farmers market, antique shops, and a hidden deli/sandwich shop called Billy's which is worth looking for! At the north end of Avenida Del Mar will be El Camino Real. Turn right here and you will find Antoines, get your morning coffee, anyway you like it and better than Starbucks, also delicious, healthy, exquisitely prepared breakfasts.

We are mid-way between Los Angeles and San Diego. Each a fantastic city to visit if you want to take a break from the beach. San Diego has a world class Zoo/Wild Animal park, along with fantastic public transportation to reach their harbor, complete with a pirate ship open for tours. There is a train stop in San Clemente that will take you to LA or San Diego and all points in between. Laguna Beach is just nine miles north. Here you will find picturesque rocky beaches, a world class artists colony with unusual summer festivals. Dana Point three miles north has a great harbor with tours for whale watching and sight seeing, you can rent your own watercraft here or get on the ship to Santa Catalina Island for a day tour of this California gem.

Stay at the casa and relax in beautiful San Clemente, don't tell anyone but this town is one of the best kept secrets in Southern California, with all the amenities you will need, or visit any and all of the interesting, enticing, sights of Southern California from your temporary 'home' at Casa Azul.

Wonderful place to stay in San Clemente! The location is perfect- we could easily walk downtown and to the beach. Our favorite place was the back patio which has a view of the ocean. Victoria the owner was easy to communicate with and very welcoming! Will stay here again!

Beautiful condo & location!

Location is great, walking distance to both pier and the shopping/dining street yet it's still nice and quiet, with great ocean view and easy access to the beach. Condo is nicely furnished and well stocked. Victoria (the host) is super nice and attentive to guests for a perfect stay. Highly recommend it and look forward to coming back again soon!

Amazing Location!

We knew from the moment we drove into the neighborhood and into the covered parking spot (definitely a plus in a beach town!) that we would love it here. Plenty of room for the two of us both inside the house and outside on that wonderful patio. Walking distance to the park, the shops, the pier restaurant, and the beach. San Clemente is a great destination, and this vacation home gave us everything we needed to enjoy it. I would stay here again.

Perfect little get-away!

Our time at Victoria's place started with great communication and her suggestion to stay in the lower unit instead of the upper one due to our active 15 month old. (Very much appreciated) We enjoyed all the amenities of the unit inside and outdoors. Having the playground, restaurants and, most of all, the ocean so close added to a great stay. Not even May Gray or June Gloom could take away from that...

Comfortable beach house

If you love the beach, this is your place. I walked on the beach 3X/day during our two-week visit. The house is about 200 yards up the hill from the ocean, and has a decent view. It had everything we needed.

Great Stay

It was a really blessed time. It's quiet most of the time. Even though there can be people upstairs, it wasn't loud at all. The view is pretty. The greenary in the front and back is very nice. It had things you could take to the beach like body boards, chairs, etc. The kitchen has more than the essentials which was really helpful. The bathroom had everything you would need on a longer stay as well. The home altogether has everything you would need which was nice, even puzzles in the closet, one of which we completed. It felt like a home and that was really nice. Would definitely like to come back in the future

Love the view and easy walk to shops and restaurants

This place is fantastic. Very well maintained and such a short easy walk to Avenida del Mar where all the shops and restaurants are. Imagine not having to take the car out all the time! The fact that you have your own parking spot on the property is a premium at any beach town. The ocean is beautiful from this spot and you can see and hear the waves. The park in the canyon is wonderful and gives this uncrowded location such a unique perspective of this friendly town. Enjoy your stay at Casa Azul!

Love Casa Azul!

We love Casa Azul! It is in the perfect location. Walking to the beach, pier, park, and downtown every day was so easy and it is just heavenly to be so close to the ocean! Victoria is wonderful to work with and has made the home so cozy and comfortable. It was great to have boogie boards, sand toys, and beach chairs at the property so that we didn't have to bring our own. My 3 daughters all shared the kids' room and it was much more spacious than it seems in the photos. My family had such a wonderful time! We will definitely be back next year! Can't recommend Casa Azul highly enough. LOVE the home and Victoria !!

Comfortably, tidy, well equipped 2 BR in great location with beautiful view.

My wife, young son, and I have a very enjoyable four night stay at Casa A., which is the lower unit in this duplex. We loved that it is a short walk to a nice playground and the beach, as well as the shops and restaurants along Del Mar. The unit is clean and well equipped with beach chairs and toys. There is a nice patio right off the living/dining area that overlooks the playground and has a great ocean view. We appreciated that the building has laundry available to guests. The kitchen and baths are basic, but perfectly OK for a few days at the beach. San Clemente is also a good staging area for Disney and Lego Land if you don't want to stay in the thick of things in Anaheim and Carlsbad.

An Ocean-lovers Dream!

Just returned from a dream-come-true stay at Casa Azul and I'm already missing the breathtaking views from the huge windows and the sound of the waves. My adult daughter and I stayed in the upper unit and reveled in the views and shore breezes. The beach was close and perfect for the long morning walks that I was looking forward too. The beach trail--dog friendly--was an added bonus and gave us a second long and gorgeous walk each day. Great dinners in town and at the pier restaurant watching the sunset. The spacious unit was all we could have wanted, including a fully equipped kitchen, 2 bathrooms, free WiFi, cable, and washer and dryer. I arm-wrestled my daughter for the master bedroom and was lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves. Each morning I enjoyed the luxury of lying in bed and watching the waves--a dream come true! The owner, Victoria, was a joy to work with: she went out of her way to make our mother-daughter getaway a reality. She could not have been nicer or more helpful. I'm already scheming for a way to return for a longer visit in future--highly recommended!

Heaven on Earth

From the moment I contacted Victoria, the property owner, I knew I had selected the right place to stay. She was responsive, warm, friendly and super nice. I arrived and entered a blue heaven...amazing views of the ocean from the LR and I slept in the BR where I could hear the ocean waves- falling asleep and waking to that beautiful sound. The apartment is great- I had family and friends stay, and gave them the queen size BR and they and I all agree the beds are super comfy and that's so important. The kitchen is also stocked well, and I was able to cook many meals for myself and my guests. Very comfortable, and especially enjoyed sitting on the beautiful patio mornings and evenings and sometimes just staying all day long in the apartment with the French door fully open (there's a screen door) so I could hear the ocean waves and enjoy the vista view. Delmar (the Main Street) where all the action is, is a few short block walk away and you can find whatever you need there. A wonderful stay and if I visit San Clemente again, I will look forward to staying at Victoria's sweet home. Thank you for your hospitality Victoria! And to all others, I encourage you to book this place- you won't regret it.

San Clemente’s hidden jewel

This was our first day at the Casa, but it will not be our last! My wife loves the view, my daughter loves the shops on Del Mar, our dog loves the park, I love the pier and long beach walks, and we all love of the bars and restaurants and the terrific beach vibe of San Clemente. As beautiful as the pictures are of the Casa, they do not do it justice. Thanks Victoria for a wonderful stay.

About the host

Host profile image
The casa has been a jewel in our family since the late 1990's. San Clemente has seen many changes since then. The city is on track to preserve the history of this little town in a fantastic way!
I took over the family duty of managing the casa several years ago and have been making improvements continuously since. I love communicating with all the different guests and families who have shared the casa with us. My daughters are looking forward to taking over the reins someday in the future.
