Notes from the host
The Loft at Casa Tortuga
ADORABLE, FULLY REMODELED, HISTORIC 1928 beach/urban North Beach Artist's Upstairs Loft shows pride of ownership and is very clean and well maintained. It is one of the very first buildings built in San Clemente!!!! The previous owners, who also listed her through VRBO, lovingly restored her and she is a gem! This is one of a few properties in the area that has been permitted and approved by the City of San Clemente for VRBO.
We offer a charming one-bdrm. w/1 really comfy back deck off kitchen that is my favorite spot in the morning with my latte and book. We have cocktails there in the evenings when we are lucky enough to visit our little piece of paradise! Our outdoor living area off the living room is a great place to dine or hang out in the outdoor lounge area with a glass of wine. It has a private entry, a full Spanish tiled kitchen, and one full bath w/tub-shower combo. It has original Spanish tile, and a hand painted sink. We also have a shared GARAGE with downstairs apt. (for mid size or smaller cars). Vehicles can be staggered quite nicely.

It is our downstairs garden is smaller, less money, but it doesn't skimp on style or comfort! ....Both have privacy, own entrances, indoor laundry facilities, patios..... Only thing shared is the garage!

Very eclectic, vibrant neighborhood which blends residential $$$$ condo's, commercial, retail, eateries, homes, and apartments!! That is what makes San Clemente so unique, funky, and charming... A true throwback to a beach town of the 50's.
This is truly a special, happy, comfortable, UNIQUE, and professionally decorated 'BEACH RETREAT' with everything from an outdoor chandelier for Alfresco dining. The previous owners used to live there so it has more amenities than most VRBO homes for the price. 'LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!'
PHOTOS DON'T DO IT JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!!
