We've stayed in the Penthouse at the Castle before and once again we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The location is perfect for enjoying the beach and pier and walking to town is an easy 5-10 minute stroll. The pictures don't do justice to the view by the way, we spent so much time on the patio/deck enjoying sunset dinners while gazing at Dana Point in the distance. Lorraine is easy to communicate with and is quick to respond to questions or concerns. We look forward to staying here again, hopefully very soon.

Wonderful San Clemente spot

Our family of 5 loved our stay here! Great views, great beach access and proximity to San Clemente shops and restaurants. The house is cozy and beautiful and had everything we needed. We cooked at home a bunch and the kitchen was well stocked with what we needed to cook a meal. Forks were low when we arrived but the host was on top of it and supplied more right away. The rooftop patio was lovely for sitting in the sunshine and listening to and watching the ocean. We would definitely stay here again next time we visit!!!

Perfect vacation condo

My wife and I stayed for 8 days in February and the condo was as magical as it looks in the listing pictures. Very clean, quiet safe area, and easy walking distance to dozens of restaurants and the beach. Beach chairs and umbrella in the garage and coin laundry facility in the building. Lorraine was very responsive on text and this condo is perfect for a romantic getaway or a family vacation. I would highly recommend this condo!

Great San Clemente Condo

We have been going to San Clemente annually for 22 years. This is one of the top 3 places we've stayed! It is a short walk to the pier and the beach. Best of all is the roof top patio! The ocean views are amazing and sunsets are even better! If you're looking for a great beach place this is it! We plan to make this our #1 place to stay in San Clemente!
