Our family (husband, myself, 12-year old son & 10-year old daughter) ended our "cross-country" vacation at this condo and it could not have been MORE perfect! First off, we flew from Pittsburgh to Denver, rented a car and drove through 6 states (CO, UT, AR, NM, NV & CA) to get to San Clemente, CA. So after 11 days of hotel hopping, we were happy to be in one place for a solid week of relaxation.
We were so happy with this place! Mike & Eileen were waiting for us when we arrived and showed us around the property, the parking area (assigned, underground parking was a BIG PERK to this unit) and the pool area. The owners were so nice to work with. They created a great little binder in the hotel with local restaurant menus, brochures for local attractions, phone numbers, maps, info/rules about the condo itself, etc. and we found it helpful the few times we decided to go out for dinner. We went to the grocery store and bought groceries and ate most meals at the condo (the grill was nice to have for lazy evening meals with an ocean view). We didn't really explore the area - we explored enough on our vacation so we were content to just lay on the beach :-)
This condo was exactly as the photos showed. The rooms were clean, comfortable, spacious and the second bedroom had two double beds (which we wanted for the two kids to share). We were happy we were only a few minutes walk to the beach. That was the jewel of this location - just steps to Calafia Beach. Since we traveled by plane - and were flying home on an airplane - we had to pack light, but this condo had all the beach gear we needed (chairs, umbrella, towels, toys for the kids, boogie boards, etc.)
If we ever travel back to this southern California area, we would book this unit again. Thanks Mike & Eileen for sharing your condo with our family!
