Always loved staying at Surfbreak very welcoming staff and accommodating! Especially the property manager Julie who is very understanding and welcoming! Parking is good and free, the breakfast at SC cafe is chefs kiss and location of this place is good! It’s nearby me and my partners favourite places such as the beach which is at least less than 5 mins away and our favourite local burrito place. Will definitely come back. Keep it up surfbreak!

We had out of town guests and needed a one night stay for them and we pleased that they had a one night option. Check in was easy and the desk person was lovely and accommodating. Our guest said they really enjoyed the room and that the bed was very comfortable. Will definitely book again.

The staff was lovely and having an ocean view was nice. It is by the highway so if you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs as they don't have them. San Clemente is a cute little town and the beach/pier area is great.
