Oceana Boutique Hotel is a coastal hospitality asset located at 135 Avenida Algodon in San Clemente, California, within walking distance to the Pacific Ocean. Situated on an approximately ±23,539 SF (0.54-acre) lot with a building size of approximately 6,085 SF, the property offers a boutique-scale investment opportunity in a high-barrier-to-entry coastal market. Originally built in 1967, the hotel features a mix of standard guest rooms and select units with kitchenettes, along with 12 onsite parking spaces.
Current Room Configuration
The property is currently operating with 20 rentable guest rooms, along with a studio unit utilized as an on-site manager’s suite attached to the office. Additionally, two rooms are in the process of being renovated and are expected to be returned to inventory, bringing the total to 22 rentable units plus the manager’s unit upon completion. This staged configuration provides both immediate income and near-term upside through the reintroduction of additional keys.
Location & Market Positioning
The hotel is situated in a quiet coastal residential neighborhood, just minutes from downtown San Clemente’s retail, dining, and beach access points. South Orange County’s coastal hospitality market remains supply-constrained, with limited new hotel development, supporting long-term demand fundamentals for boutique lodging assets in the area.
Value-Add Opportunity
The asset is currently operated under absentee ownership and reflects below-market average daily rates. This presents a clear opportunity for improved operational oversight and revenue optimization. With the implementation of professional management and targeted capital improvements, the property offers measurable potential for performance enhancement.
