Recently updated, the Mermaid Cottage is designed for ultimate comfort and relaxation. The second-floor great room is the heart of the home – a 75” television with soundbar makes it the perfect spot for movie night, with enough seating for the whole family and soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams. Just off the great room is a patio overlooking the backyard with bistro seating for two – a peaceful spot for your morning coffee or evening cocktail.
The great room flows into the kitchen and dining area, creating an ideal open-concept space for entertaining. The gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, Viking gas cooktop, double ovens, French door refrigerator, and dishwasher—fully stocked for all your culinary needs. Planning dinner with friends? Chill your bottle of Rosé in the wine fridge for the perfect temp.
The large dining table seats nine, with three more at the kitchen bar for a total of 12. A cozy sitting area adjacent to the dining room offers a great place to relax by the fire on chilly mornings or nights.
The light and bright primary suite is the perfect escape after a day at the beach. A king-sized bed with crisp white linens and down comforter ensures a restful night’s sleep. The charming bay window lets in warm sunlight by day and is shaded for privacy when desired. The en-suite bathroom includes a double vanity, shower, and plush spa towels.
Three additional bedrooms keep guests relaxed and comfortable. One guest room has a queen bed and access to a hallway bathroom with single vanity, shower, and sliding doors to the backyard. Another features a queen-sized bed and an attached bathroom with a single vanity and a tub/shower combo. The third is perfect for younger guests, with a twin-over-full bunk bed, twin trundle, and shared bathroom access.
The beautiful backyard is sure to be a guest favorite. Fire up the grill and enjoy year-round al fresco dining with seating for eight. Spend the evening around the outdoor fire pit with seating for all, soaking in the salty breeze. For the kids, the tree house, swing, and outdoor games will be a highlight.
A short walk from the cottage leads to several beaches. Don’t be a fish out of water—enjoy the California Riviera coastline during your stay! Prefer to drive? All area beaches have public parking.
The cottage also includes fun amenities like outdoor games (corn hole, croquet, bocce ball, football), a full-size ping pong table in the garage, two bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, and toys to make the most of your stay.
Nearby attractions include downtown San Clemente and the pier, just a 5-minute drive away, offering endless options for dining and fun. Within an hour’s drive are Disneyland, Legoland, SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, and more—perfect for family adventures.

Great place
The house was beautiful in an excellent residential neighborhood. However if anyone has mobility issues, the stairs from the street to the beach are quite steep and may pose an issue.

Mermaid Cottage by the Sea was an absolute gem! The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach and close to downtown San Clemente, yet tucked away in a quiet, charming neighborhood. The cottage itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and felt warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived.The space was well laid out and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing but also action driven stay. The kitchen was well equipped, and the extra touches like beach gear made everything so easy and enjoyable.This place truly felt like a home you wish would be yours. During our stay, we met so many amazing people in San Clemente, Dana Point, and Laguna Beach, and we completely got sucked into the incredible vibe San Clemente brings. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxing escape or a vacation packed with action, there is so much to do and explore. Communication with the host was smooth, and everything exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Mermaid Cottage to anyone looking for a coastal getaway you won’t forget.

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.

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.

Wonderful location and property
The Beach house is very nice with lots of things to do. We enjoyed the close walk to the wonderful Beach. All the needed equipment for beach was included for our group of 8.
The only down side was unfortunately the whole week the neighbor was having construction work from 8AM to 5PM next door and the sound of masonry saw was very loud all day. Some of us had to be on-line during couple of days and the loud sound made it hard to relax and enjoy.

Reviewer Comments:
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.
