The place was fantastic and the location was outstanding. For our short weekend stay, we hung out on the balcony or walked to the Pier. A short walk up Del Mar to more shops and restaurants than you could possibly visit. Room was comfortable and amenities were great.
We had a 4-night stay at the Big Fish and really enjoyed it. Great location, very comfortable, and a ton of attention to detail, like kitchen and beach amenities. The beach was close, and the view was great. San Clemente is away from all the traffic near LA, and we were close to the wine region of Temecula.
Walking distance to restaurants and the beach. Ocean views from nearly every window. Gorgeous property with all the amenities. Fit my family of 6 with room to spare.
Really nice place in a perfect locationâliterally steps from coffee, restaurants, and the sand!! Equally, the owners and property manager are a pleasure to work with.
We would stay here again, so why the overall rating of 4? Just a couple of unfortunate events: the refrigerator stopped working on Fri afternoon, and the sound of moving patio furniture upstairs was sometimes disruptive at night.
Patty and I love San Clemente and have stayed in many units over the years with our kids and grandkids. The Big Fish unit was one of the nicest weâve experienced and the location right by the pier with the balcony view is as good as it gets. Shannon, our host, was perfect and always available⊠the overall experience was a 10 out of 10 and weâll definitely look forward to future stays at Big Fish, Bigger Fish⊠the Best Fish!!!!!! Steve and Patty Brown
Big and Bigger Fish were better than advertised. With the comfort box checked off, the conversations started early and continued until early morning. A great place, a great group and an incredible time.
A lovely, airy condo located a stoneâs throw from the beach. Nice everything- host, beds, appliances, beach supplies, & baby items. I highly recommend it, weâve stayed at many a vrbo & this is a gem.
Shannon did an amazing job welcoming our family to Big Fish! Not only was she helpful in getting us acquainted with the property but she stayed in touch throughout our stay to ensure we had everything we needed.
Being that we lived in San Clemente for many years and were now visiting, , we knew weâd love the location ...and it lived up to all expectations!
Big Fish also provided some welcomed âtoysâ like soft boards and boogie boards for our young family of four boys.
We canât wait to come back!
Excellent location (minus the train noise!) Very clean and well appointed with comfy beds all all cooking and beach necessities. A few very minor things didn't work, but owner was extremely responsive via text.
Did not want to leave, cannot wait to come back! Unit is outstanding! All new, tasteful contemporary interior and furnishings. Amazing top end appliances throughout. Kitchen fully equipped. Location could not have been better; million dollar view!
Beautiful modern ocean view condo just steps from the beach and coffee shops and restaurants. The unit was beautifully decorated and the owners were sweet and incredibly responsive. We will return for sure!
Great property with amazing hosts that made sure our stay went well and we had everything needed. Property was clean, well supplied, especially for a day at the beach with towels, chairs and umbrellas, and very comfortable for a family of 4. The sunsets are amazing. Beach is a 2 block walk. Downtown with many shops and restaurants is short walk. We hit the local Farmers Market on Sunday to get supplies! We really enjoyed just sitting on the deck after a full day on the beach surfing watching the local activity and sunsets. Thank you Desiree and Shannon! We will be back.
This property is just as amazing as it looks. Ocean views from both bedrooms and the San Clemente Pier is right around the corner. What isn't pictured is the kind and attentive hosts. We come to the area very often, and have stayed in many places, but this is the best. We would love to return.
Big Fish was perfect in every way! The property is gorgeous, comfortable, well appointed, and an easy, quick walk to the pier and beach. Our four night stay could not have been better and we will definitely be back!
We absolutely loved our stay in Big Fish in San Clemente. The location is perfect! There are ocean views from every room and you are so close to the pier, beach and restaurants. It has a great deck and we enjoyed sitting out there reading and people watching for hours. We also loved that there was garage parking too. The condo has been fully remodeled and impeccably decorated. You can tell that there is a real pride of ownership in this property. Plus it is fully stocked with everything you could ever need during your stay. Our only regret was not staying longer. We will always have fond memories of our stay in Big Fish (our first vacation with our son) and plan to be back!
Great location to everything!!! Walk to old town, pier, surf spots and a short drive to the Mission and SoCal attractions... Given the central location it was a little busy with some noise (we left the windows open) but that didnât matter to us! Loved the decor, ocean views, layout/amenities, AND the outdoor surfers shower was a bonus. Owners were great. Weâd rent Big Fish again.
My family loved our stay at Big Fish! It was very clean and had everything we needed. It's a beautiful condo, and our sons loved the bunk beds. Desiree and her associate Wendy were very helpful in getting us settled. The location at the pier is amazing. We return to SC to visit family yearly, so we will definitely be looking to return to Big Fish! Thank you!
We are empty nesters, business owners. ocean & dog lovers and long time San Clemente residents. We look so forward to meeting you and welcoming you into our favorite spot in the whole world.
In 2015, we completely rebuilt "Big Fish" & "Bigger Fish" paying attention to every special little detail so all of our friends, family & guests would have the perfect place to stay in our beloved San Clemente. It has a clean, modern yet super comfortable feel with West Elm furniture and luxurious bedding. You can lay in bed and watch the surf from both bedrooms. The glass and ceramic tile speak "beach". Our doors have glossy glass inserts to let the light in but keep your privacy. The comment we hear most often when guests walk in is, "WOW, this is even better than the photos!"
This is a special place. No detail has been overlooked. Here are our top 10 favorite things about Big Fish: 1. We collected driftwood from the Oregon coast and made it into our front door pulls. 2. Our family and construction crew wrote our favorite quotes and inspirational sayings on the studs and walls during the remodel. We'd like to think that everyone feels better once they walk in the door. 3. You can sit on the deck and get to know fellow beach lovers as they walk by. 4. Our doormats say, "Hello you lovely people" 5. We've become good friends (and keep in touch) with many of our returning guests and LOVE to have them come back to their Big Fish second home. 6. The Pier Bowl vibe is relaxed, calm and full of ocean breezes and the sound of the waves. You can watch dolphins swim by 7. Keyless entry lets you enter and exit without having to worry about keys 8. Our beds have the most comfy cloud like comforters and super soft sheets 9. We have super chargers to quickly recharge your devices 10. A walk on the pier is the perfect start and finish to your day and it's a 1 minute walk from your front door.
