Greg & Robin, This was our second time staying in your home and we had an absolutely splendid vacation in southern California!! Beats the east coast any day. The ocean views from the living room and front porch are spectacular! We spent every evening on the porch watching the sun set while enjoying a glass of wine (or two). You and your wife have such great taste in artwork too! Nice addition from last year! We took advantage of the new bikes you bought and rode down to the beach. We were there in minutes! You two truly have the best location and everything was better than what we remembered. Your personal touches didn't go un-noticed either. Even down to the "Happy Anniversary" card and bottle of champagne. Nice... Take care and we'll see you next year.

Owner response:You two are welcome anytime! We sincerely enjoyed hosting you. g&r

Hey Greg &Robin, Molly and I can't thank you enough for letting us stay in your lovely home. We enjoyed the short walk out your back yard down to the beach. On Sunday we went to the Farmer's Market then went to Billy's, as you recommended, and had the best sandwich ever. Every night we stayed in and had fun cooking/playing in your kitchen. You guys have put so much of yourselves into your home and believe us, it shows! Great selection of movies too. We played a couple rounds of golf. One of us did well! Anyway, thanks again for everything and the flowers are still beautiful. See you next year.

Owner response:Your family is so polite and nice. Glad we could make you comfortable and that you enjoyed the Golf! Amazingly cheap for such a great course, as I mentioned to you on the phone. Tell the kids we now have three new beach bikes and boogie boards for a total of five when they come back next year!

Perfect Stay in San Clemente

We had a lovely stay in this happily situated home in San Clemente. Five minutes' drive to the beaches, the home is in a quiet area of town and has a pretty ocean view with great breezes. The owner provides everything you need for the beach-towels, mats, boogie boards, umbrella. It was so helpful to not have to buy all of that beach gear. If you want to stay at a home where the owner is nearby and cares about your stay, this is the home for you!

Greg & his home have personality plus! I very much enjoyed: nature walks down to Tressels (right out the gate), wathcing hummingbirds, men throw their golf clubs (coffee on the porch), his home is close to local joints such as sugar shack & pedro's tacos, rip curl outlet yet far enough off the path to relax. My stay was a 10. Thank you for opening your home to out of town guests.

We had such a wonderful time in California, spending time with my brother meant the world to me! I couldn't have found a more pleasant place to stay then your beautiful home, it was perfect, the candles burning, the towels, your kitchen had everything I needed to cook a meal, the food in the pantry, I felt as if I was in my own home, your home was better than a five star hotel. I am planning on making another trip out there maybe for Thanksgiving and I would love to stay at your beautiful home again and again. Greg, thank you for making our stay in your warm and cozy home so memorable!

I stayed at this home for a month. Your accommodations were exactly as advertised. The layout of the house, the amenities, especially the quite neighborhood and beautiful views made my stay very pleasurable. Since I had business as far south as Oceanside and as far northeast as Chino, I couldn't have been happier with the location. It was a delight to return back to your home every evening. You've provided all the comforts of home which I would never have found - even in the best of hotels! When the need arises again, I will return.

I stayed at this property last year and can't begin to convey what a great location this is! Everything we wanted to do, see, or eat was so close. Thanks for sharing this cool retreat from the heat!

I live in the mountains but have a heart for the ocean. This is the perfect place to stay, the beaches are within easy walking distance of the home. The view from the front balcony is spectacular, especially at sunset! It looks over a lush, green golf course, out to the ocean. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood and the atmosphere inside is warm, cozy and inviting. It has everything you could wish for in a home away from home. I highly reccommend it as a place to relax and renew your spirit!

This is a beautiful luxury modern home up on a hilltop, very impressive location - both in front, panoramic unobstructed view down over golf course and the ocean, yet back on a quiet side street - in rear, vast open parkland as well. Walking to lots of shopping and dining, many other attractions, and beaches - great city and downtown also through quaint town facilities. And its location there specifically sited for the top climate. The accommodations include luxury bedrooms, living room, dining area, separate office - loaded with all modern amenities including great full kitchen, media and entertainment equipped, internet, and lots more. Fabulous place to stay. I visited there for a week also from Toronto and right away felt very at home as well as very comfortable indeed really pampered.

I spent a week visiting this past January and enjoyed every minute - especially the WEATHER. Very relaxing atmosphere and a spectacular view. If you enjoy cooking the kitchen has everything you need. The entertainment and computer systems are state of the art. There are numerous nice restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Looking forward to another visit - maybe next winter !!!

Great place to stay. Wow what a view, breakfast and drinks on the balcony. Such a great change of pace from Sacramento. It was so nice to fix the perfect diner in the great kitchen and just relax after a busy day. The golf course is a real bargain, and of course the beach. I'll be back next year for sure. WHAT A VIEW. Got a great battery recharge. Thanks
