Listen, if you’re trying to survive a vacation with two adult sons and two dogs without needing a silent retreat afterward, book this place immediately. This San Clemente pad was so clean I didn't feel the need to douse the entire perimeter in Lysol—a true vacation anomaly.The full kitchen was essential because my sons eat like they’re preparing for hibernation, and the host was a total legend. Even the dogs approved, which is saying something since they’re usually more judgmental than a panel of Olympic gymnasts. They were obsessed with the park two blocks away, which was perfect for letting them tire themselves out so I could enjoy a glass of wine in peace.Best of all? The beach and shops are a 10-minute walk away—just far enough to get some exercise, but close enough that I could "accidentally" lose the boys and spend some quality time with my credit card. 5 stars. I’d stay again in a heartbeat, if only to keep the dogs from giving me that "this isn't my bed" side-eye.

Great property, really enjoyed our stay!! Very walkable and fun location

We booked this home for our wedding weekend. My wife and I stayed at the house, but had our bridal party come over and get ready with us the morning of the wedding. The host was super accommodating and quick to answer any questions we had! The house was clean, spotless, and so welcoming. All of the necessities were provided including bathroom essentials and kitchen essentials. The only downside to this home was the parking. Luckily we had one spot assigned to us, but the rest of it is street parking which made it hard for our bridal party the morning of the wedding. BUT that is a one off situation, and if we were just there for a normal stay with the two of us, then the parking situation would’ve been perfect. Long story short - we would definitely book again!

We loved our stay at Sunny Villa by the Sea. Every detail was thought through. The property was immaculate, the kitchen well equipped, the beds so comfortable. Our small dog loved the patio as did we! And San Clemente is so fun and very dog friendly. Highly recommend!
