Lisa and Russell are the most generous hosts, so communicative and flexible! The Artist’s Penthouse is such a beautiful place, we really enjoyed our time here, including our dog! The apartment was very clean and inviting, so many windows to oversee the amazing ocean - we especially loved the patio! The beach is about one mile away, so is the cute downtown area! Many great restaurants and shops! Definitely stay here on your next CA vacation!! :)

We had such a wonderful time staying with Lisa and Russell. The artist's penthouse was absolutely beautiful. It clean and every attention to detail was appreciated. The artwork and sculptures added so much character. The outside deck provides a view of san clemente and dana point that you just can't beat. The beds and couch were comfortable and the kitchen provided everything we needed. They even welcomed us with a gift basket! Thank you Lisa and Russell! We can't wait to visit again!

Stop reading this review and book the Artist's Penthouse NOW! This was a last minute trip, so my husband and I thought we'd just book a hotel for ease. I can't tell you how thankful we are that we re-thought that plan. For less than the price of a nice hotel room, we had a large, well-appointed home with a killer deck and too many amenities to name. Russ and Lisa even include the use of the washer and dryer. If you're looking for luxury on a limited budget, you've found it. These folks are insanely accommodating, and just plain awesome. Aside from all the unexpected things like a beautiful gift basket, there were also super helpful small touches like a folder full of local menus and cozy blankets for sitting by the fountain outside. If I could've found a way to haul the ridiculously comfortable living room sofa back to Texas, I definitely would've tried to buy it from them! Get this place now before someone else does. You won't be disappointed.

We stayed over Thanksgiving with four "adult" children, and the penthouse was easily large enough to accommodate all of us. The double sink in the public bath made sharing the space easier. Beyond that, the views are simply spectacular. The private balcony off the master gave us a chance to lounge without company, and the large deck overlooking the town and ocean was perfect for playing Scrabble, eating dinner, and sharing a bottle of wine. Lisa and Russ met us upon arrival, and immediately responded to our questions about grocery stores, shopping, and beaches. We used the beach towels, umbrella, boogie boards, and cooler - and found the local beach to be our favorite. The kitchen was well stocked, making meals here a breeze. We have never booked the same property twice for travel, but this might be the exception!

I am so glad we found Russ and Lisa's property! The Artist's Penthouse is just what we needed, and it was perfect inside and out.
You walk up the stairs, open the barn style door, enter the balcony and face a breathtaking, panoramic view of the ocean -- this is the go to place of the day. We had coffee, wine and conversation in this remarkable and well appointed outdoor space. We watched the sun rise and set, gazed at the starry night and cuddled up in the blankets to stave off the late summer chill.
The inside space is tastefully artsy and warm; it felt like home. Wonderful music filled the air when we arrived, luring us inside ... where we found a welcome basket filled with goodies and a bottle of wine waiting for us! In our 10 years of being VRBO renters, this was a first! The kitchen was clean, and full of everything you need, including coffee to get the morning started. The sofa in the living space is great -- I think we sat 10 people around it comfortably. Bathrooms were spotless, loads of extra linens and towels, comfy beds and windows galore that allowed for more ocean views from inside. For beach goers, there are beach chairs, games and a boogie board.
To top everything off, Russ and Lisa are onsite, and getting to know them is delightful. If we lived closer, I would pursue a great lifetime friendship with these two!
If you're thinking about renting this VRBO, don't hesitate, snag it now. The Artist's Penthouse is a GEM.

My husband and I just returned from our amazing stay at Lisa and Russell's exceptional condo that we loved! It's better than in the pictures, and from the minute you open the door, a calmness takes over and it feels better than even being at home! The view is magical, the deck is so perfect for an afternoon or evening glass of wine, and the inside is equipped with everything you'll ever need for your vacation stay or extended stay. We use VRBO everywhere we travel and this is definitely one of the top and favorite one of ours. The only thing that can top how perfect the accommodations are, are the owners Lisa and Russell, who are very generous, and I felt like we've known them forever. Thank you both (and thank you to your daughter as well). We were blessed to find not only your place, but you. Thank you again for the lovely bottle of wine and birthday card that you so kindly left for me. That was very very special! We will definitely see you both again!

The Artists Penthouse is the perfect spot to relax and take in beautiful views of the Pacific ocean and sunsets! The accommodations were ideal for us and our 2 teenagers. Everything you need is there. The indoor/outdoor living was the best! The BBQ unit worked perfectly too. Loved the "stay-cation" long weekend there! Close to town with lots to do. Lisa and Russell are the best hosts! Highly recommend Artists Penthouse!

Had a great time visiting San Clemente with our two teens. Views from the balcony are to die for and the location is close to the main street where there are a number of great restaurants. Lisa, Russel and their daughter were the perfect hosts and they have put a lot of care and thought into creating the Artist Penthouse. Beautifully decorated and maintained it is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the local attractions.
