Great location but more attention to details would make 5*

Fabulous location, family had great time. Pros: comfy beds, soft cotton sheets, TONS of beach towels, stellar location to beach & main drag of cute downtown SC, highly walkable & next to Casa Romantica & to free trolley, gorgeous view, comfy leather furniture in living room, well stocked dishes/glasses, great pool/hot tub! Cons: host scared us by not reaching out with check-in details, we were working with VRBO to book something else due to no contact, highly stressful, then my husband tracked host down on LinkedIn & said we were preparing to file a claim with VRBO, suddenly we get an email from him with instructions & he states he “doesn’t read emails”…ummm, I think a “Superhost” should check communication channels & know when guests are arriving. It was a total nightmare to think our family of 5 might have nowhere to stay. I was sure we’d been shafted when I saw host had multiple listings for same property “Surf Shack” & “Crypto Crib”…happily he somewhat redeemed himself by giving us 2 hour later checkout. Small details add up that would make this property a 5 star…no working smoke detectors, no kitchen towels just paper towels, ripped bed skirt, checkout instructions buried in tons of paperwork on bulletin board, no soap pump for master bath ( I bought one) just keeping up on supplies such as dishwasher tablets ( I bought some)etc.

Pleasant stay

Overall nice location and condo. It was very clean and modern. The kids complained about no locks on the bathroom doors but other than that, we were happy with it and would recommend it to others.

Perfect Location

This condo is at the perfect location. Beautiful views, walk to the beach, restaurants, coffee shop, pier, etc. My wife is from CA and we’ve been coming to San Clemente for years and love everything about this beach town! The condo is set up nice and is the perfect crash pad for your adventures. My only critique is the place needs a bit of attention. Nothing huge but quite a few little things. The carpet in the master bedroom needs replaced and all the bedding needs replaced as it’s just not what I would expect from a premium property. I’d rent it again but with hopes that the furnishings had been updated a bit. Owners were awesome and very communicative! Overall amazing property!
