Cleopatra con vista sull'oceano!

We loved the location and condo has everything you need and more. Perfect for walking to beach, a few restaurants and trolley stops. Pool facilities were added bonus. Beach is fantastic! Just be ready for the stairs and hills to access.

We really enjoyed our stay here, there's a view of the ocean in the front, view of the pool in the back, and a really amazing location to stay. The owners are very attentive and helpful with anything that you need. The condo is Cleopatra theme with lots of purple so that may or may not be your taste, but still fun for a while.

I have been renting from Betha for over 15 years now. So you can say that this on-line review is long over due. I love all of Betha's condos but the Cleopatra is by far my favorite of them all. I always feel right at home when I stay at her condos. The condo is well equipped with all of the amenities that you will ever need. Betha is extremely attentive to all of your needs. The ocean is just steps away from the condo. I love to get up early and go for a long walk along the beach before the sun rises. The walking path will take you right down to the beach where you can see the beautiful homes that overlook the ocean. I also like to take a short walk across the street after dinner and enjoy the beautiful sunset. The area is so peaceful. Everyone is always so friendly. Laguna Beach, Dana Point Harbor, San Clemente and Newport Beach are all a short driving distance from the condo. There are many great restaurants to choose from. There is a great deli less than a mile away called Beach Hut Deli. It has the best gourmet deli sandwiches and it is reasonably priced as well. It is a great place to go when you just want to get a quick bite to eat or just pick up something after a long day and head back to the condo. It is located off of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and Ritz Carlton Drive. I love to drive to Dana Point Harbor to enjoy the ocean views and the sunset. You can park at the Ocean Institute and walk around the back of the building toward the ocean. There are several benches to sit on. I can just sit there for hours watching the waves. It is so serene. There is a Cultural Center and Gardens in San Clemente called Casa Romantica. It has the most amazing gardens and views of the ocean. Bring your camera, I promise you will get some of the most beautiful pictures. I always look forward to going back to the condo after a long day. I like to kick back on the comfy sectional sofa and turn on the huge flat screen TV in the living room. I almost always fall asleep while watching TV. It is so peaceful and comfortable. If you open the windows in the living room and the sliding glass door in the dining room there is an amazing ocean breeze that blows through the condo. It is such a safe area that I often open the front door to enjoy the ocean views and breeze while watching TV. I am looking forward to staying at the Cleopatra again in a few weeks.

Here is a list of several reasons this is a 5 star property.

1. Beth is Awesome

2. The pool is right out back

3. The beach is right across the parking lot

4. The ocean can be seen from the living room

5. The beds are very comfortable

6. Easy access to Highways and quick to all of Orange County

7. We love purple:-)

The condo is perfect for a family of 4 but does sleep 6. The beach is stunning and so close - just a short walk and your there! You can see both the ocean (front window) and the pool (back window) from the condo living room. So So quiet!!! Perfect for a picky sleeper. The people around are very respectful and noise is practically non-exsistant. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. Rooms had lots of closet and drawer space. It was pretty clean. There are a few decorations small children may be tempted to touch (mine are both over 9yrs and were just amused). Condo owners were such lovely people and were just a phone call away if needed (I forgot the condo code, had to call after 10:00, they were so sweet about it). My kids want to make this vacation a yearly event. We felt so lucky to have such a great place in such a beautiful location!
