Kid-friendly vacation rentals in San Clemente State Beach

Beth’s place is the kind of Airbnb that makes you wonder why you ever stay in hotels. From the jump, she was an awesome host—communicative, thoughtful, and super easy to work with. You can tell she really cares about her guests having a smooth, stress-free stay. Now, the house? Chef’s kiss. Super clean, spacious, and full of good energy. The vibe is calm and cozy, like you’re on a proper vacation—even if you’re just in town for a few days. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and surprisingly central. You’re close to the airport, 15 minutes from the beach, 20 from Disneyland, and still tucked away in your own little oasis. The pool was perfect for lazy mornings or winding down after a day out, and the house had everything I needed to just unpack and live. I didn’t need anything extra—it was all right there. Also, not to be dramatic, but the taco truck around the corner changed my life. I wasn’t even looking for it, just took a walk and BOOM—tacos so good I considered extending my stay.

I think she was fantastic! We just had some troubles with the doors and locks!

We went with our elderly parents and two young children. The place was perfect, clean, and accommodating. Really great for little kids, and we didn’t have to bring a high chair or pack and play. Made travel easier on us. Ken was a great host and very responsive. We would love to stay there again in the future.

Shawn’s place was great. Multiple bedrooms with a ton of space. About a 30 minute walk, or a 5 minute drive to downtown Disney. Would definitely stay here again.

The host was incredibly responsive and quickly took care of any issues that arose, making sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. The backyard was a highlight—serene, peaceful, and beautifully landscaped. The value for the price was definitely worth it, and we'd highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

The absolute best home and host! This location is perfect in a very safe and secure neighborhood. The host was the most accommodating we’ve ever had! We needed sponges for the kitchen and they brought them to us right away along with a treat for the kids 🩷 The home is perfect for a multiple family stay, lots of kids toys and huge backyard for play! We stayed in Huntington Beach so we could go to the beach and Disneyland. 10 minute drive to the beach & 25 minutes super easy drive to Disneyland! We will absolutely stay here again!

We had an amazing stay at this ocean view home! The location is just steps from the shore with breathtaking ocean views from every angle. The house itself is incredibly spacious, offered plenty of room for everyone to relax comfortably and had good parking. Everything was clean upon arrival, and the host Sandra was responsive. Highly recommend!

This is a lovely, recently updated home that looks just like the pictures. There is plenty to entertain the kids when you have down time at the home. Having never been to LA before, I did not realize how impossible it would be to be centrally located to all attractions. This home is 15 mins to Disney, which was great for us. We also went to Universal which was on the other side of the city and took an hour to get to with traffic. Not a problem, just unexpected. Most important to us was that the home was comfortable and located in a safe, quiet area. Stores and restaurants were just a short drive away. If you plan to cook, which we usually do not on vacation, you will want to pick up staples. Things like coffee, salt, pepper and a few other ingredients are provided but you’ll need to pick up creamer if you use it and any spices you might use if you plan on doing much cooking. Overall, This was a fantastic stay. We’d definitely book here again.

The apartment layout is reasonable, the decoration is comfortable, and it is very convenient to move in and park. The kitchenware is very complete. The apartment is on the second floor and you need to carry your luggage upstairs by yourself. Staying here gives a very homey feeling.

Such a fun and cute place! It’s near so many great things if you want to go out but a private oasis if you feel like staying in.

It was very nice amd cozy, had walkable stores and restaurants (even walked to a restaurants that was nearby) has a very safe environment and had no issues, love to stay again in future

Excellent and well appointed unit. King size bed was great, mattresses comfortable. Large TV in the living room. Kitchen had everything needed. Ground floor with zero steps was nice.

We had a fabulous time. This place is comfortable, beautifully decorated, with lots of extra touches. We walked everywhere. Lisa was proactive checking in with us - really one of the best Airbnb stays we've had. Thanks Lisa!!!

The host is very flexible. Great and safe place to stay. Close to Disneyland.

Was perfect for our weekend soccer getaway. Very centrally located to beach, SoCal soccer fields, The Flower Fields at Carlsbad, Upick strawberries at Carlsbad and Windmill Food Hall were some of the attractions we enjoyed. Everything was clean. Could definitely hear the freeway traffic when door was opened but the construction of the home did block out most of the noise. We appreciated the white noise maker that was provided. Would definitely stay again.

We had a great stay at Blake and Brenda’s place. Very comfortable and sparkly clean. The apartment is in a very walkable area to all restaurants, shops and beautiful Corona Del Mar beach. We will definitely come back and would love to stay at Blake and Brenda’s place!! Thank you again Blake and Brenda! We felt right at home!!🥰

Sharon’s Newport Airbnb was the perfect getaway with stunning views and a comfortable family vibe… perfect for the 6 of us… The beds made for a great night’s rest, and the place had everything we needed. Being able to easily park 2 vehicles was a huge plus. And, place is within walking distance of many conveniences including a deli and pharmacy.

Nicholas’s apartment was the perfect find for my Southwrn California getaway. The apartment was spacious, clean and very comfortable, and the view of the ocean from the pool was just what I had hoped for! A perfect spot to relax during the day and watch the sunset in the evening. Great restaurants and shops in walking distance, free parking, gracious staff - all around perfect!

Great location. Enjoyed our get away and the host was really helpful and responsive.

Cute condo close to everything--the beach, downtown, 10 mins drive to groceries, restaurants, etc. Quiet at night (except my kids--sorry!) and safe to walk around. We took the kids to Legoland two days in a row and it was a 10-15 mins drive. Definitely will be coming back the next time we visit.

Really awesome place to stay for Disneyland! It took about 25 minutes to get to the parks and only 18 minutes on the way home. Super clean and it actually looks like the pictures. The 4 bedroom is in a converted garage, it felt homey though. Perfect for our family and we would stay there again!

Beautiful condo close to the LaCosta Omni. View of tennis courts, golf club & mountains. Host responded quickly to our questions.

Excellent location. Everything was walkable (we walked to the condo with our luggage straight from the ferry terminal). Having the golf cart was so convenient for going off the beaten path or grabbing groceries and hauling them back. Wonderfully responsive host. We will 100% book here again next time we come to Catalina.

I can not speak more highly of Brian's hospitality. He was extremely responsive to messages through the app. The place had very thoughtful snacks, and charging cords. The option to rent a golf cart was great!
