509 Monterey is an address worth visiting for sure. We have been here several times and it always makes us feel like we should be at the beach. Book that week you’re thinking about and you will be thrilled you visited this amazing property when that time arrives!

Thank you so much for your kind review. It’s always a pleasure having you stay at the castle. Thank you for treating the unit as your home away from home.
Sincerely,
Lorraine
The deck and view were wonderful. Walking distance to beach, pier, and town. Very comfortable beds and living spaces. Very nice linens and well appointed kitchen. Internet could be improved. We really enjoyed our stay and plan on staying at this property again.
Fantastic views and amazing outdoor space. Comfortable seating and spaces with views from inside and out. Lorraine is a great host. Information flowed easily and checking and out were easy. The steps up are worth the view and comfortable condo!

Amazing place to stay in San Clemente if you are looking for beautiful views & close to the beach. The condo had everything we needed along with some extras like beach towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, utensils etc if you want to cook in. Great ideal location to walk the pier, beach trail, or spend time on the beach. We enjoyed the deck and the nightly sunsets. Lorraine was wonderful and quick to respond to make sure we had everything we needed. We will stay here again. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Thank you for staying with us at the castle. Thank you for keeping the unit in great shape. You and your family are welcome to stay with us in the future. Bless you and your Family.
This place is BEAUTIFUL!! Clean, close to the beach/shops, amazing view and Lorraine was so accommodating with our stay. Zero issues, will definitely love to stay here again!!
We've stayed in the Penthouse at the Castle before and once again we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The location is perfect for enjoying the beach and pier and walking to town is an easy 5-10 minute stroll. The pictures don't do justice to the view by the way, we spent so much time on the patio/deck enjoying sunset dinners while gazing at Dana Point in the distance. Lorraine is easy to communicate with and is quick to respond to questions or concerns. We look forward to staying here again, hopefully very soon.

Will be coming back! View is outstanding, Lorraine was prompt with returning messages, etc. Beds comfortable and plenty of bath towels were appreciated. The only thing that’s recommended at the Castle is more silverware but that’s a simple thing!
Our visit was to celebrate a 30th Wedding Anniversary. We loved San Clemente and the condo was fantastic, really clean and well decorated with amazing views looking out to the ocean and the pier.
Lorraine communicated everything beforehand and we had a great stay. Would definitely recommend.

We had a lovely stay at this apartment. The apartment is very nice, although there are a lot of stairs as it is the penthouse. We would definitely rent it again
