Host was fantastic and easy to communicate with to check in and out. You cannot beat the view from the living room and being walking distance to the pier and beach. House was very clean, cozy, and had enough amenities for cooking and going to the beach. Parking on site was very convenient. Would absolutely stay again. Thank you!

Home Away From Home!

All you need to know about this wonderful rental is that we seem to return every year! The location, in the Pier Bowl, is easily walkable to the pier and downtown. We especially enjoy the beautiful sunsets in a large, comfortable, well decorated living room. Beds are comfortable. Lorraine is a perfect host!

Our family really enjoyed San Clemente and the condo! The condo was just a short walk to the beach and a nice stroll up the hill to restaurants and shops. Loved the spacious layout and it was perfect for our family of five, with a pullout couch and a roll away bed, super comfy. Every morning we enjoyed coffee on the porch overlooking the ocean. Really liked that there was a garage and a parking space in the driveway since we had two cars! Definitely recommend this adorable condo. Thank you for the memories.

Everything was better than I expected. The living room fit at least 10 people, and we had family visiting for the day and it was fabulous. The grill was marvelous, parking was easy, everything needed for the beach was there. It was just beautiful. Definitely worth it. We have family nearby so we were able to visit with everybody. It truly was a three minute walk to the beach. The pier was fun for dinner and appetizers. We could walk to shopping and went to the weekend market. All appliances worked beautifully. The rooms were comfortable and beds very comfortable.

Why they chose this property

I liked this building and area because it has a comfortable relaxing feel. Dress casual, feel comfortable, eat good food, view of the ocean. one minute walk to the pier and ocean. We went to visit the area and I immediately loved it. When we saw the building and what the area had to offer it felt like home but on vacation. When I am there I relax and unwind. Old town feel by the ocean.

What makes this property unique

The unit has an open floor plan, lots of window, 3 patios, view of the ocean from front patio, fully furnished, indoor private washer and dryer, personal barbeque on one of the patios, one car garage to store your surf boards, auto and one parking in front of the garage
