First, the pictures don't fully do justice to the beauty of the condo or the ocean views! We were in San Clemente for our son's wedding, and this place was absolutely perfect for venue location and some much-needed R and R before and after the nuptials. The condo appeared freshly and beautifully updated with an upscale, but laid-back coastal vibe and comfortable ocean-view lanai. And no amenity was missed! Fully-equipped kitchen with a beverage-stocked fridge, everything needed for a quick or leisurely coffee-making or gourmet dinner, blankets, extra sheets, lovely and comfortable furniture, and yoga mats, dumbbell weights and Peloton access on the TV, beach chairs, lounge chairs, bikes, beach towels and dirty towel hamper downstairs (!), beach carts and kid toys, and a shower station to wash off sandy feet. And a great laundry room with the newer double LG washer/dryer units. With a VERY short walk to the beach, pier, and beach path in one direction or another short walk to downtown, this location, setting, and environment were stunning and enjoyable in every way. Opening both the lanai sliding door and front door (sliding screen provided) allowed us to enjoy wonderful ocean breezes and sounds. And the host response was great! I put in a message about lack of hot water, and within two minutes, I received a call and a hot water reset. We were disappointed we had to leave! Thank you, Cathy and Peter. Fabulous hospitality! We did feel as though we were staying with friends.
