“On the beach by the pier. Warm. That alone is enough.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2011

I stayed in an efficiency with a balcony. Great location. Thought crossed my mind to rent for the rest of the month and get a part-time job nearby. I love the sound of a train, so that isn't a problem for me. If you don't want a few stairs, (8 max at a flight here) don't come to San Clemente. It is definately not handicapped friendly down by the beach/pier. Very steep and curving narrow streets. Quite nice, and very clean. Bring your own food, coffee, condiments, etc. Microwave, toaster and coffee maker, but no silverware, plates etc. Plan ahead and you will love it. Small place for laundry, very convenient. Buy laundry detergent, too. Don't go to laundramat on Victoria. Broken, steals your money. General store next door has just about whatever you need. I thought the price I paid for this place was a bargain. ($99/night)

Stayed February 2011

“10th Stay - Love It!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2010

We've been staying at the Sea Horse every October for over ten years. It's perfect for a family. Our favorite 2 bedroom suite is #2. The large living, dining, kitchen area has fantastic views of the beach, pier and ocean. On clear days we can see Catalina Island. Besides being on the beach, Disneyland is just 30 minutes to the north. Legoland is 30 minutes to the south. The 2.5 mile beachfront path is perfect for our Grand Kids for walking and riding their bikes. They also love watching the Amtrak trains which stop several times a day at the pier. Though we cook most of our meals in our kitchen, there is a choice of several restaurants. Our favorite is The Fisherman. We always have at least one Sunset Dinner there.

“DO Not stay here!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2010

people found this review helpful

I booked a room at this hotel and upon check in they said they made a mistake and it would be almost 100.00 more per night!! WOW!!! Unbelievable!!! I don't know how they can do this when it is booked with a confirmation number. They apologized and said they had made a mistake. Because THEY made the mistake, YOU WOULD think they would take the hit!!! Not us!! No a fun situation when you are on vacation and this happens!!! The Seahorse should of honored the rate!!! Bottom line!

The seahorse Resort provides a confirmation Email to all reservations made. This email includes all viable information involved with each reservation. We do this so the customer knows what they are getting before they arrive. If this customer would have brought their confirmation printout with the specific rate they say they were qouted, we would have honored that rate. In fact we have email confirmations so we can avoid this exact problem. We are a small family run business and work with people as much as we can, it is unfortunet this customer had a bad experience.

“Great location; great staff”

My family and I wound up at the Seahorse resort after our vacation rental fell through. Andrew was very accommodating to our situation. We stayed in the two bedroom suite and had a great time. Staff and housekeeping crew were great. Fresh beach towels, and chairs whenever we needed them. We had several friends and relatives visit. The two balconies were helpful and gave us the extra space we needed. We originally went to San Clemente after booking a different "on line" owner type vacation rental that turned out to be HORRIBLE… Andrew helped us out in a bind and ended up turning a potential nightmare into a very memorable family trip.. again, thanks Andrew and thanks Seahorse Resort Staff. Try the crepe place down the street... you'll like it

“Stayed in nicer places in third world hostels.”

My husband went to specifically ask and view a room because it was our anniversary. Of course, he could not see the room prior to renting as it was "in use." We had a view of banana trees, the doorknob literally fell off in our hands, patched hole in the front door, terrible bed, no screens, patio door didn't lock, noisy, dirty, moldy and waaayyyy tooo expensive! The management didn't seem to care at all that the quality of our room was greatly below our expectations (which were based on my husband's discussion PRIOR to renting.) The only thing that didn't look original to the unit was the television near the couch. One of the kitchen cabinets was wedged shut with a piece of paper and didn't stay closed. It was ugly!
