"This was a repeat visit to San Clemente, but the best property we’ve enjoyed. The “cottage” was adorable and the amenities beyond expectations. The bed and bath linens were terrific and the kitchen was very well equipped. The Kuerig, with supplied pods, was a treat as were the laundry facilities, again with necessities furnished.Jennifer, the manager was amazing. She was so willing to help and a joy to meet and talk to.We will definitely be back."
