New: Signature 2BR In #1 San Clemente Neighborhood - Blocks From Ocean

San Clemente

"We loved the location. We love San Clemente and all it has to offer. The support person on the phone was very helpful. It’s a great unit. We were very comfortable there. We would return in the future. There are a few things that need to be looked at a little closer. The toilet kept clogging up. Especially when there were more people in the building upstairs. The bathroom sink does not drain well. The king size bed was too soft and uncomfortable for us. The major thing is that the place smells...

Signature KING 1BR In Top Beach Location (AB)

"Everything felt clean and comfortable inside the apartment. It was easy to find and park. Bed was comfortable and bathroom was perfect. The garbage disposal needed to be run bc it was omitting a foul smell; food from a previous stay was still down there. Once we dealt with the smell, the place aired out and all was well. We loved that it was walking distance to shops and places to eat. "
