Great location and very easy getting access to the property. Very quiet at night and easy access to the beach. Would stay there again. Wonderful ocean view from the living room area. Coffee and cafes are within walking distance too.

We love the community in San Clemente. This property is perfectly located to walk the beach and look at the ocean. It is well appointed and comfortable.

This house was perfect for us. It is situated nicely between downtown and the ocean, which provided ample opportunity to burn calories walking up and downhill, shopping and plenty of eating and cocktailing. No need to drive once you get there, unless you want to venture outside of the area! There is a grocery store located very close by for stocking up. The homeowner was great at communicating before and during the trip. Thank you for a beautiful stay away from the cold in the heart of winter!

Had a fantastic stay. Definitely plan to stay again in the future.

My family loved everything about our stay here! From the ease of check-in and great communication w/ the owner to the beautiful view and location to the little things like having a toy bin and beach cart/chairs, the entire experience was very positive and made for a super relaxing vacation. We highly recommend this property and hope to stay here again some day!

The Castle was very impressive. When we arrived we noticed that everything was updated and we loved the way the place was decorated. It was clean and everything worked without any problems. We also loved the location which was minutes from the beach. We had a wonderful time and would recommend the Castle to our friends and family. Rueben Solorio

Great location, loved the place, looking forward to coming back!

We loved our stay at this beach home! It was roomy, extremely clean, in a perfect location, and had everything one could need for a perfect trip! We enjoyed the short walk to the pier with fun restaurants, outdoor dining and entertainment. The porch was a relaxing place for coffee and enjoying the ocean views. The entry porch was relaxing and decorated so beautifully! The house has everything you could possibly need for a wonderful vacation!!! Can't wait to come back!

We enjoyed the apartment! The master bedroom had a comfortable, king bed and its own half bathroom plus a mini outdoor area. The little balcony was our table with a small but wonderful view of the ocean. The windows inside also brought light and delight into the apartment! We could walk 2-3 blocks to the pier, beach and walking trail, snack on ice cream, crepes, coffee and other goodies. It's a 5-10 minute lovely walk gradually uphill) into town. Be aware that the parking space in front of the garage is short and narrow with adjacent ones for residents. Go slow and it will be ok. Stairs up to the apartment. We would love to stay here again!

This was our fourth stay at the Castle. The appartment is close to the beach, well equipped, and suited for families with toys, babybed, highchair and beach equipment. Lorrain is the perfect host, making sure we have a nice stay. There will definately be a fifth stay. Thank you again!

Great location, lovely place.

Well, I guess all you have to know is that the second day of our stay, we reserved the property for three weeks next year! This is our 4th visit to San Clemente, and we have found a "home." Why? This place is just about perfect! Obviously, the location is a plus. Located in the Pier Bowl it is minutes to the beach or to restaurants on Del Mar. The living room and kitchen are the heart of the home. There is a lovely view of the ocean and comfortable furniture. The kitchen was very easy for cooking with updated appliances and utensils. Lorraine has thought of everything, the decorating is superb, with "extra" touches everywhere. This place does not feel like a rental! We particularly loved the plants and succulents that graced the entry space, balcony, and bedroom balcony. The photos of the unit are accuarate, but actually better, everything was very clean. Lorraine was very accommodating, we had the feel she really wanted us to be comfortable. This place is a jewel!

A lovely place to stay for two weeks and we will be saving this for a return trip! Communication was above and beyond expectations.

The unit has a excellent layout including an unusually large living space which was a perfect gathering space when our area relatives came for dinner. This room has a great, if limited, view of the water with Catalina Island in the distance— nice spot for watching the gorgeous sunsets. It’s a very short walk (a little steep, but even we old folks managed just fine!) to the waterfront where there are several cute restaurants and a small market. There are steep steps up to the unit but, again, we are mid-70’s and had no problem managing. Finally, downtown San Clemente has several really cute shops and lots of good restaurants. We look forward to returning here for another visit in the Spring or Summer!

This apartment was perfect for my husband & I. It felt and looked clean. Beautifully furnished and very spacious. Nicely equipped kitchen: great appliances, dishes, cookware, plates, silverware - we lacked for nothing. It was nice to have a washer/dryer in the unit and also air-conditioning, although we didn't need it all the time. Pictures and description are accurate. The location is great--only 2 blocks to Pier. Stairs to apartment were very doable for us. It is up on the first landing. We liked the key-lockbox because we didn't have to worry about losing the key. We really loved this apartment and location and would stay again. Highly recommend!

Clean, spacious and very nicely decorated. Only 1 recommendation: have a recycle can in the condo so it is easy to keep separate from trash since you have a recycle bin in the garage.

This property couldn’t have been better. It was SO clean, the kitchen had everything you could want, the furniture was great and all the decoration was just perfect. The beds were really comfortable which is so often not the case. The apartment was literally one block from the ocean and little street side restaurants. It has a view of the ocean, though not a big one, but just lovely to sit on the balcony early in the morning with a coffee, and in the evening to see the sun going down. Though we didn’t use it, the BBQ looked brand new. This was without doubt the best quality home we have rented for a vacation and we have already booked for a longer stay for next year! Thank you Lorraine!!

This place has everything you need for a nice stay at the beach. Also has a very nice big BBQ on the front deck. Would definitively stay here again.

Loved this property. They have thought of everything. Very quick walk to to the beach. Going to the beach easier than returning but only because coming back is up the hill. The condo is about 4 buildings up the hill/street. Sunsets amazing from balcony. You can see the beach from the condo as well as heat the waves crash. The condo was very clean when we got there and was ready for us to use. She even told us we could get there early if need be. Overall great experience and it deserves 5 stars. We stayed 2 weeks.

This 2 bedroom condo was just as-advertised and just what we wanted! My wife and I and our 2 young kids had a wonderful week enjoying the views, the easy walk to the pier, beaches, and local shops, and just enjoying the space. It had all the beach gear and kid gear we could need and more, and the host was very proactive and helpful -- smooth check-in process, easy check-out, and very responsive and over-the-top customer service when we had a minor issue during our stay. We had our car with us, but if not this location would have worked great to get around San Clemente on the free trolley that picks up right at the pier! Would love to come again!

This was our second visit to this home and this town and if you see my review in March, everything is still 100% the same! Loved everything about this home and are already booking for 2022! It's our new favorite beach vacation and home to stay in! Love everything about the house and the communication is amazing! Thank you for another wonderful week of memories!

Beautiful condo with view of the ocean. Short walk to San Clemente pier and all shops. Loved our stay.

We hope to return soon.

It was wonderful to return to the castle! Lorraine is a great owner who is readily available to take care of anything you need. This was our third visit and it will not be our last.

Just a short walk to the beach... pier... shops and restaurants. Property had everything... including a wine fridge! Great balcony for coffee... breakfast in the morning and wine... cocktails in the evening. We will go back.

We had a wonderful time in this lovely condo! It was a very pleasant space with nice, fresh decor, and everything exceeded our expectations. Kitchen and bathrooms well stocked, appliances new, and the space was very clean. The washer and dryer were a nice perk, as were the three separate balconies. Also enjoyed using some of the beach equipment. Location can't be beat, walking distance to beach and the pier -- and a good workout coming up the hill! Lorraine was very responsive and made everything related to check in and out very easy. Would definitely stay again!

The house was perfect for our family of 5 (kids ages 8-12). So easy to walk to and from the beach. The home is beautiful and comfortable and has everything we needed. We loved it here and would highly recommend it!

This was our first time to San Clemente, being from AZ we have hit a lot of beach towns and homes each year and after the first sunset view we immediately wanted to book again! The location is perfect, the house is exactly as described. The communication before and during was great, even helped with food recommendations. My husband and our three kids had a great time and plenty of space. Plenty of towels and chairs for the beach! If you are traveling with a toddler like we were, the rollaway twin bed was perfect!! We didn’t need it but they have a crib, high chair and swing for a baby! Such a nice touch knowing the space they take up, also the stroller was great for the hills to walk! Thank you and we can’t wait to come back!!

We had a well stocked kitchen, large living area, great location, especially loved the dutch door that allowed us to quietly step out into the deck without disturbing others. Usually spent our mornings and evenings on front balcony and put good use to all of the beach supplies in the garage.
