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.

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.
