| We had a great time during our week at your condo. The space was great, beds were good, well equipped and comfortable. What a great location. You can walk to everything and still get a work out with all the hills! |

| We spent the month of February in this property and really had a wonderful time. The location could not be better. It's a short walk to the pier and the beach and an equally short walk to the beautiful San Clemente downtown area with numerous shops and nice restaurants. |

Bill and Marsha,
Thanks for sharing your home with us. We had a great time shopping in the little shops on Del Mar, dinner and happy hour at the Fisherman's on the pier was great. Found a great Mexican restaurant at the top of Victoria and El Camino Real. Family enjoyed the beach and Boogie boarding though not much waves this week for surfing. Great location an close to the beach. We really enjoyed the patio and BBQ quite relaxing. We hope to come back again next year. ps. Thanks for all the little extras.

Bill and Marsha,
Just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much we enjoyed the use of your house last week. The kids loved the closeness to the beach and enjoyed trying their hands at boogie boarding. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home! we have had a great time and our children have felt right at home. We live in Wyoming and this is the first time our kids have seen the ocean. Needless to say - we have had a great time at the beach.
It was nice to have a place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle we went through each day at Disneyland, Sea World, and Medieval Times. The house is great and in such an awesome location. We would love to come again! We'll definitely recommend you and your properties to our friends.
Thanks again!

| We stayed here in 2005, and as I was browsing vrbo, I remembered what a nice house this was, and what a good time we had. The accomodations were great, the owner very nice, and we hope to visit again! The walk to the beach and downtown are both easy, the farmers market was fun, and the mexican restaurant was really good -can't remember the name . Thanks again. |

| Bill was very responsive and professional in the selection processWe were a young family of five (3 kids under 3!) with a friend and her teenager. Therefore we were worried about noise and roominess. There was plenty of room and comfort for all. We especially appreciated the short walk to the beach and to the shops. The house was in great condition and was very comfy with not many breakable things which made it alot easier for us with three little ones. It was great having the extra bathrooms especially with a large group. Also the extra beach gear etc came in handy. Lastly having available laundry access in the garage was magic with ALL the youngsters washing we did many times over! Just bring lots of qtrs. |

Bill and Marsha,
It was an interesting two months. We love the San Clemente area, beaches and pier and the ease of traveling to other interesting places. Visiting with our west coast families was fun and kept us busy. So nice meeting you both.

It is with fond memories that I write this journal entry regarding our stay at 311 Del Mar Street, Unit A in San Clemente.
My husband, boys (eight and ten) and I stayed in the Medina’s beach condo for the month of February, 2007. We had made a GIANT move to England expecting to live there for two to five years. We were back in America after just six weeks, and our home was occupied for the entire month. What a joy and relief it was to return to San Clemente and stay in such a comfortable, well situated, well equipped home.
The condo had everything we needed, from a washer and dryer and a garage to store our suitcases, down to a potatoes peeler and a vase for fresh flowers. I had foil, Ziploc bags, laundry detergent and air freshener. It is obvious that they take great care in preparing for each new group of guests to arrive.
In closing, I would like to say that I loved the condo mostly because it was easy to stay in. It wasn’t so fancy that I had to worry about the boys breaking things and messing up the carpeting, yet it was clean and comfortable with all that we needed to make it our home for the month. I believe it was incredibly priced as well, and only hope we have the opportunity to enjoy it again in the future. I would highly recommend staying in this spacious condo, so close to the beach and the heart of our lovely community, San Clemente.
Thanks Bill and Marsha for being responsive and available to us during our stay.
Sincerely,
Carrie Dickie (and the THREE boys!)

Bill and Marsha,
It's hard to believe it's almost been a week since we were there in San Clemente! We go back to work and school tomorrow so vacation is really over.
We enjoyed our time in your place SO MUCH! It was perfect for our family. And the location was so nice too, just a short walk to the library and farmer's market and the shops in one direction and a short walk to the beach in the other.
We were blessed with the weather! It really rained on us as we were leaving early on Tues. morning - I'm so glad we missed that!
We hope to be able to stay with you again some time soon. In the meantime, God bless you and Happy New Year!

We had a superb time at Casa Medina! The walk to the beach was a healthy bit of exercise, which turned out to be very enjoyable. The waves were perfect and the apartment was very comfortable.

We found the accommodations very pleasant and clean. We were pleasantly surprised with the comfort and thoughtfulness of the little things such as the magazines, books, DVD player, etc. Normally I don’t read but I found myself drawn to the balcony with my (your) books.
The location is awesome, with the beach only a 5-minute walk away. And in the other direction, we found unique, charming boutiques. Thank you for sharing your home with us. I would recommend this home!
ps. I don’t sleep well without a TV so I slept on the sofa in the living room and found it just as comfy as the bed.

We had a great week here in San Clemente! We’re just a bunch of beach rats so we went to the beach all day, every day. This house was wonderful – plenty of room and great location. We went out to eat at Shorelanding on El Camino Real. Great food, huge selection and huge portions. We also went to a concert down at the beach, very enjoyable. Overall, it was a great vacation. This place was perfect!

Wow. What a great week! Perfect weather, lots of stuff to do, and what a nice home to stay in. Lowe, Nash, and O’Heinien families enjoyed: playing at beach and getting coffee at Aloha Coffee up the street on Del Mar, great pizza at Pizza Port (good beer too!), breakfast at the Waffle Lady (a breakfast must), Sea World, dinner at Las Brisas in Laguna, breakfast at the pier, and lots of relaxation. A nice reprieve from the sweltering desert heat in Phoenix. Sorry we have to go home! Us 6 adults, 4 toddlers, and 2 babies would all recommend this place.
Thanks.

We’ve come to San Clemente nearly every year since Dina was 1 ½ (she’s now 21!), but this is the first time staying in your home. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your lovely home. We loved it, and the location is terrific – so close to the beach and the shops on Del Mar. We’ve done lot’s of sight seeing over the years (San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point, Sea World, Wild Animal Park, Newport Beach, etc.) but this year we just wanted to relax and enjoy the beach – and Dina’s goal – surf lessons! What we thought was going to be a one-hour lesson turned into four hours!! She loved it and now wants her own board. Too bad Michael and Anne couldn’t be here to share it with us. Miss them. Maybe next year they can come, too, if you’ll have us.

We loved the convenience to beach and shops – luckily we hit San Clemente the weekend of the Arts and Crafts / Farmers Market. Bedroom porch is great for happy hour. Bill provided us with good weather. We enjoyed the visit

Our families travel in from Chicago and New Jersey to be together with our California family members once a year. The cousins enjoy spending the time together here. Beach is great as always!
Have a great year & see you next 2nd week of August 2004.

We came for the ocean and we sure enjoyed it. Everyday we swam; boogie boarded or surfed and had the time of our lives! The Farmer’s market and downtown San Clemente were great. Delecious restaurants (Beachfire - about 3 blocks up).
Thank you for letting us enjoy this wonderful place! It was a great break from the heat of Idaho

We had a great time this week 6-21-03 to 6-28. We had lots of fun at the beach riding waves, fishing and relaxing. We caught 4 fish at the pier. We ate Happy Hour at the pier, pizza across the street and Friday’s in Laguna Hills. Donut place up the street at Del Mar corner was great.

First and foremost, a million thanks for opening this wonderfully cozy home to us. We hail from the normally beautiful NorCal region (Sunnyvale and Los Altos), but the recent storms have uglified the area & the lovely SoCal beach weather was a more than welcome change.
Over the course of our stay, our activities included the Farmer’s Market up the street on Del Mar, beach “hiking” southward to the San Clemente State Beach Park, Fishing off the pier at the beach area off Del Mar (we caught far to many to consume, even for our large group), a trip to the San Diego Zoo (I personally recommend the koalas, elephants, and jaguar), a brief day-trip to Tijuana, Mexico (watch out for the traffic reentering the States – at least a hour), and a visit to the Getty Museum (be sure to check out the gardens).
In terms of dining, if you’re looking for good Chinese food, check out Monterey Park and Roland Heights, both northwards past Irvine, about an hour drive.
Most of all our recommendation is to chill, relax, enjoy the great weather, the stunning beach, and the friendly people. Grab one of the books from the shelves (my father couldn’t put down Lord of the Rings after recently viewing the movie) and head out to the beach.
Enjoy!
