Would love to come back!

We are from the East Coast and were visiting our adult children who live in LA, and wanted a relaxing place to spend the long holiday weekend together. This was the perfect place! Clean, well-stocked kitchen, very responsive host, great neighborhood - walkable to several restaurants and shops and super close to a wide, clean beach. Especially enjoyed the outdoor spaces.

Awesome stay!

Our stay was amazing! The property was even better in person. The view was stellar and the deck was large and a great place to enjoy morning coffee, watch the surfers, and enjoy sunsets too! The beds were comfy, which is a great change from other places we have stayed! We'll definitely be back!!!! Thank you Shannon for your gracious hospitality!

Bigger Fish was absolutely amazing! A block away from the ocean and fantastic views! Plenty of space to hang in a quiet, safe area. Shannon was amazing in all her communication leading up to and during the stay. We will be coming back to San Clemente, but won’t even consider looking for a different property. Bigger Fish is home!

Epic

⭐️ Millions of Stars Review ⭐️ Larger abodes, absolute satisfaction guaranteed! My family prepared an entire Thanksgiving feast from scratch, and every necessary utensil, plate, and serving tray was readily available in the Bigger Fish Condo's kitchen. The view alone is worth waking up to, instilling a profound sense of relaxation and rejuvenation. Strolling with loved ones to the San Clemente fishing pier offers an incredible sensory experience, warming the heart. Exceptional shopping, walking, and sightseeing opportunities are mere steps away. My family and I were thoroughly impressed, exceeding our highest expectations!

Steps from the Pier

I was tempted to rate the “Accuracy to online listing” at 1-Star because the pictures do this condo no justice at all. The view from the top deck of Bigger Fish is spectacular. The condo is steps from the pier and the beach and a short walk up the hill to downtown restaurants. It is very well stocked with few details left undone. The owners are quick and courteous during the check in process and readily available during the stay. Our family had a great stay and will definitely be back!

We absolutely loved it here. The views and deck can’t be beat and my kids absolutely loved the beach toys. So fun and so comfortable for our family of 7! This unit is well equipped, I even found some batteries for our sound machine that stopped working. We’re already planning our next trip!!

Perfect home in perfect location

This property is even better than it looks. The property owners are so helpful - very welcoming and very responsive both before and during our stay. The home is clean and very well equipped. The location is superb - one block to the beach, a short (steep) walk into downtown and close to a food store. We had a wonderful week in an idyllic location. Do not hesitate to book this fabulous home.
