Coronado is a village on a peninsula off the coast of San Diego, California. The Coronado Shores is a luxury gated community in Coronado, located on Coronado Beach, between the Pacific Ocean and the San Diego Bay, next to the Hotel Del Coronado and nine miles from the San Diego airport. Coronado Beach has been rated as the number one family beach in the United States. Many well-known individuals own Shores condos including Senator John and Cindy McCain.
Our two-bedroom/two-bath condo is a corner unit in the El Camino Building in the Shores complex. Our unit offers floor-to-ceiling windows with views of both San Diego Bay/Bridge and the Coronado Beach/Pacific Ocean.
Our condo was upgraded and newly decorated in 2005-2006 by Coronado's best known interior decorator Michele Iacuzzo (google "Interiors by Michele"). The kitchen is fully equipped, and includes a disposal and new dishwasher. The glass-topped circular dining room table and chairs seat six. There are two bathrooms, one with walk-in shower and one with bathtub/shower. There are two bedrooms. The second bedroom has a king bed that is convertible to twin beds with Sleep Therapy pillow mattresses. The living room sofa converts to a queen-sized hideabed.
New in June 2008: The master bedroom has a new top-of-the-line California King bed with a Sleep Therapy Aloe Vera pillow mattress and all new bedding selected by Michele Iacuzzo.
Our unit is completely stocked with dishes, bedding, towels, beach towels, hairdryers, binoculars, maps, games, DVDs, books, San Diego guidebooks, etc.
There are three TVs and three DVD players, including a 37" flat screen high-definition LCD TV in the living room and a 32" flat screen high-definition LCD TV in the master bedroom. DISH satellite TV (including Sirius Radio) is available on all three TVs.
New in June 2008: We now have a top-of-the-line DISH VIP722 Digital Video Recorder (DVR), so you can record over 300 hours of TV programs, and a monthly subscription to all the DISH high definition TV stations (over 70 stations) and all HBO channels.
Our condo also has high-speed SBC/Yahoo DSL wireless Internet. Local and long distance telephone service with AT&T throughout the United States is also included for free (long-distance to other countries must be reimbursed).
There is a small washer/dryer in the condo, with a full-sized washer and dryer on each floor. There are two elevators plus rapid access to the beach via a secure stairwell. Our balcony has a new marble floor, plexiglass walls and patio furniture. We have one designated parking spot.
We are told regularly that our unit is one of the choicest condo rentals because our unit was decorated by Michele Iacuzzo, our beach access is exceptionally easy, and our bay/beach views are among the best at the Shores. We also have flat screen high-definition TVs, the newest DISH DVR and high-definition and HBO TV channels, and fast wireless internet access. There are no other condo buildings close to us so we do not have people looking directly in at our condo. Lastly, we are not full-time landlords doing this for the rental income. We are university professors renting our condo while we teach in Texas. We are selective, looking for renters who will treat our condo as gently as their own home.
There are ten high-rise buildings in the Coronado Shores complex, each with doormen and video security. The complex includes eight tennis courts and four swimming pools/Jacuzzi. Gas barbecues and picnic tables are available for picnics by the sea. The clubhouse has pool tables, big screen TV and a bar, with an outdoor veranda on the beach, and a table tennis and recreation area where regular events (e.g. dances, card games) occur. A pavilion is available for private parties and special events (e.g. wedding receptions). A fully equipped, staffed fitness center has nautilus, weight lifting equipment and sauna/Jacuzzi. All facilities are available at no charge to tenants and their guests.
Local activities in Coronado include bicycling, bird watching, boogie boarding, concerts in the park, fishing, golfing, hiking, library, local theater, parks, restaurants, sandy beaches with lifeguards, sailing, surfing, swimming, tennis and windsurfing. There is even winter ice skating at the Hotel Del! Coronado has a beautiful 18-hole championship golf course, and the Glorietta Bay Marina is next door for sailors. There are bike trails around the island, including a 20-mile round trip Rails-to-Trails path that starts by our condo building. There is an excellent public library with a nice movie collection and free concerts in the park on Sundays. The Glorietta Bay Civic Center and Promenade is next door to us, with a new Community Center (huge pool) and park running along the bay. And, of course, you may just prefer to walk the beach and view the sunset. If you leave the island and go to San Diego, major attractions include Balboa Park, Scripps Birch Aquarium, Gas lamp Quarter, Legoland, Old Town San Diego, San Diego Museums, San Diego Zoo, Sea World and the Wild Animal Park.
Permissions: No Smoking and No Pets (with no exceptions; we have allergies so do not allow them in our condo). Children are OK, but our condo is not child-proofed and not suitable for toddlers (due to the extensive glass, electronics and white linens). |
