Great View, Perfect Location
Amazing views overlooking the pier and beach. Easy access to beach, walking path, and shops. Jerry was very helpful throughout our stay and made us feel very welcome. The place had everything we needed. The balcony is spacious, lots of seating, two sliding doors to enjoy the perfect weather. The sunsets were great, and nights very calm and relaxing. In addition to the beach access, the location is great for running, walking, shopping, etc… with many walkable activities within a half mile or so. The trolley picks up close by, so you can get just about anywhere in San Clemente without a car. We frequently took the trolley to Del Mar or El Camino Real for drinks/dinner and walked back. San Clemente has some incline on most streets to/from the beach, so plan ahead depending on physical limitations, strollers, etc… we walked to the beach and pier in about 5 minutes. The incline is only to/from the beach, so walking around the neighborhood and town is relatively flat. We had an amazing time and definitely plan to stay here again!

Beautiful view and location but that's it
We planned this trip to treat our Parents expecting to have a great time near the beach. We were immediately disappointed when walking into the unit. The unit was quickly cleaned and definitely didn't feel like it was professionally done. There were crumbs all over the couch and carpet and leftover food in the fridge. As we checked out the rest of the place, we were disappointed to find the following: Wall length mirrors broken and duct taped together, as well as the picture frame over the bed, water damage on the floor and ceilings, flooring in the Master Bedroom is linoleum tiles that were curled up on the corners and felt spongy when walking on it, towels and bedsheets were mismatched, towels with bleach stains and sheets with stains on them, moldy utensils in the drawers and food splattered on the appliances, a loose razor blade lying in one drawer, the gas firepit on the balcony had no gas hookup and could not be lit, the TV would not work and would cut out every few minutes. We couldn't get a hotel room on short notice and slept in our clothes because we felt uncomfortable sleeping in the sheets. We left the next morning and did not return, foregoing our last 2 nights that we prepaid. While Jerry was a great host in terms of communication and felt accommodating, these things were all clearly left out of the listing and could not have been addressed to make us feel more comfortable.

The place is nice clean and spacious. You can’t beat the view. We walked down to the beach in minutes and they had amazing shops and eatery places. There is a train that goes by the beach here and there. Our kids loved it. Again, the view is unbeatable.

Amazing Location with Great View
The location of the property is in a great area. We easily walked to the beach and various restaurants. There is some uphill walks, but that is to be expected in the area. A car is not required, but we enjoyed having one to go to the grocery store and other places slightly farther away. It was great there was a parking space in the driveway as street parking is very difficult to find. The unit had a very comfortable bed, ample kitchen with full size coffee maker (big deal for us) and an amazing view of the ocean. It was so nice to drink coffee on the balcony and watch the sunset in the evening. Also, there are beach chairs, umbrella etc. all available for use. Next time we are in San Clemente, we will definitely stay here again.

Personality+
Fantastic view and location. Jerry, the host, is the best. A bit of quirkiness (as you can see from the photos) gives the place loads of personality. It's great "bang for the buck". A bit more TLC would be nice, as a couple of items--admittedly non-essential--weren't working. The indoor spaces were clean, but in a pet-friendly unit an AstroTurf balcony is not a good idea. A previous dog had obviously "used" it. Overall, we loved the place and will try to stay there again when we next visit San Clemente.

Had a good time - but read helpful info
Really enjoyed our stay. Terrific location. Priced a little high, but less than other similar locs in town. HELPFUL INFO WE HAD TO FIGURE OUT OURSELVES: 1. Piano in pic is electronic - doesn't work. 2. Golf cart in pic - can not use. 3. Towels - Most not bath size (tiny) - and not enough (group of 5) 4. Ad says two parking spots. NO - only one, and street parking is VERY difficult in the area. 5. Owner lives in unit above you. 6. VRBO notice says you get check-in instructions 3 days before stay. NEVER GOT THEM. Begged and begged on VRBO messaging. No response from owner. Finally called him the day before, got him, and he advised door lock code. Just the stress you DON'T need when planning travel and spending thousands of dollars in advance. 7. You'll need to practice opening and closing the coded lock. Unusual mechanism. 8. Had to request a toaster - not in unit as described. 9. VERY poor DirecTV connection - no movie streaming. Loses signal every 3-5 minutes. Gave up watching. 10. Unit same level as street - no steps (nice). 11. Walking access to pier, beach, and even downtown - but be prepared for VERY steep hills. Ok with us.

All about the views
The property has an amazing location with a large balcony for viewing the San Clemente Pier and the Pacific Ocean. Loved staying here. Property is a bit on the dated side and the laminate Floors in the master bedroom appear to have had a water leak at some point. Either way it is an amazing property that we would def stay at again.

Very nice property, close to beach, nice owner
We really enjoyed our stay in San Clemente. The rooms were clean and everything in the penthouse worked as expected. There were 8 of us over the age of 10 in our group and there was plenty of living space. Four of the beds are bunk beds and the other 2 are queens so make sure to plan accordingly. The room is located a couple of short blocks from the beach and there is a train station located right there that will take you anywhere up and down the coast if needed. There were beach chairs, umbrella, and boogie boards available to use. The owner/manager was very friendly and helpful, quickly responding to a couple of questions we had. We also found the people of San Clemente to be very friendly and helpful everywhere we went. We'd recommend this.
