We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Shred Chalet! Beautiful and comfortable house, top-notch amenities, and great proximity to the beach, parks, and nearby restaurants, shops, etc. Don't let the closeness to "the" 5 worry you — the place is quite soundproof and the easy-on/easy-off access is a benefit. Bonus: The market next door makes great tacos! Thanks to our gracious hosts, and if we're ever in San Clemente again....
