San Clemente beach

We needed a place to have visits from our granddaughters/spouse and this property was perfect. We were able to park and walk to most destinations and the space accommodated a few family dinners nicely. I totally recommend this property for a great San Clemente family stay.

Great Place!

Location is second to none. The property is exactly as represented. Very well equipped, clean and quiet. We love coming to OC and have stayed in many beach communities. San Clemente is our favorite and we will be back to this property. Julia was easy easy to reach, friendly and accommodating.

We spent a wonderful month at this condo with four adults, two of whom were working remotely, and it exceeded our expectations in every way.The place is comfortably furnished, spotlessly clean, and exceptionally well-equipped. The kitchen was a standout — ample supplies and everything you could need, which made cooking at home a pleasure. That said, you’re just steps away from dozens of great restaurants, so we enjoyed the best of both worlds.For remote workers, the WiFi was fast and reliable without a single hiccup. Having an in-unit washer and dryer was a huge bonus for a longer stay.The location is ideal. We loved walking the beach path just blocks from the condo — it became part of our daily routine. The community is lively and vibrant, yet peaceful and quiet at night, which is a rare and welcome combination.The outdoor patio is cozy rather than large, but don’t let that fool you — it punches well above its weight. The grill is great, and the view of the pier, especially at sunset, is simply unbeatable.Finally, the host was exceptional — extremely responsive and helpful with every detail, making the whole experience seamless from start to finish.We would highly recommend this condo to anyone, whether you’re visiting for a weekend or an extended stay. We hope to be back!

Probably the best view in the bowl

Not too much to say about the property that the pics can't describe. My wife and I stayed in this building 2 years ago in a different unit. We are now spoiled, from the location, to the bedrooms, views, yah it's that good. From covered secure parking to the much needed elevator to the front door of the unit, (yes you will use it bc why not and it's great when unloading all the crap from the car :) You walk into an unassuming bottom floor, bedrooms, laundry, always cool with great beds and great bathrooms. Then you walk upstairs to a never ending view of the ocean horizon, then n to Dana Point, views everywhere. Now I will say there is heat and a fireplace however, we didn't want the heat, just the fire for effect. Apparently they turn it off in the summer, no biggie. Also might I suggest taking the daybed from its current local and place it where the 2 chairs current reside in the living room? Then maybe add in a desk to the space where the daybed currently resides? My wife and I frequently work from the rental as we work from home, not a deal breaker, just a thought to attract more that are crazy enough to visit SC every 2 mos and don't want to take vaca time :) Everything you need is here but may I add, bring your own red solo cups or tumblers as there aren't any cups larger than 8oz, at least that we found. All in all not a bad thing to say about this property.

Best place to stay ever!!!

This year we decided on San Clemente over Newport Beach to get out of ‘Hot Box’… Great choice!! This place is a Crows Nest in that it has amazing view of pier and beach/ocean, which mean multiple windows that open from many directions, very comfortable and easy to ventilate. And it was tested the past couple hot nights with good sleep… Newly appointed decor and well stocked kictchen a plus…spacious parking for two cars without the 25 point turns getting out of Newport rentals… Easy walk to pier and some good breakfast options or pizza… The entire town has good dining within five minute drive… we will be back!!

Better than advertised

I'm still new to renting vacation homes and I was anxious to see what I would get. It looked so nice in the photos. The rental process, the check-in process -- all of it went smoothly. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. But we checked into Julia's place and it was beyond our expectations. Honestly, the photos don't do it justice. Whether it was the beachy decor (we went online to see if we could buy her chairs) or the amazing view, we just loved everything. The bedrooms were big and each had a bathroom. That was key. And a bathroom upstairs. A big bed for my wife and I and two smaller ones in the other room for the monsters And don't discount the futon in the living room in front of the window. That's where my wife and I napped in the afternoons. Julia made it so easy to get in and out of. She was responsive and informative -- a pleasure to deal with. The unit was a block off the beach. The dedicated parking behind a secure gate was fantastic. The walk to the shore was short. The big danger is the place that you pass across the street from the beach with the crepes and the mimosas. It can really suck you in. Having beach chairs and umbrellas on site was SO helpful. I just adore this spot.

Can't Wait to Stay Here Again!

We truly enjoyed this property. We have stayed in various places in the area over the years and this is top of the list. The location was perfect, right in the middle of things but also quiet at night. The views from the Penthouse were spectacular, as advertised. and the beach was RIGHT THERE. The unit was spacious, clean, great layout, well stocked with everything we needed. The owner's description of the property is spot on, no embellishments at all. We really liked this place.

A very pleasant stay

This is a nice two-bedroom property with good views of the ocean and pier in a very good location. The parking is handy. The property appeared fresh, clean, and had obviously just undergone a well done renovation. There is nothing junkie in this property. We would stay here again.

Good location and decent stay for the money

Our only complaints about this property is it's a bit outdated and not very clean (floors). The bed was very comfortable and the view from the balcony is spectacular. For the price, it worked. The garage parking was nice and you can't beat the location. Just don't walk around barefoot! Make note that there is no ac and the bedrooms are on the lower level with no view.
