Perfect Vacation

The property was as described. Laurel and Mark were available to answer any questions we had and made us feel very welcome. It is a quiet and beautiful place, and contains everything needed for a restful vacation. There are abundant activities less than 30 minutes away if the ocean does not provide enough. We enjoyed the Greek restaurant right in Imperial Beach a couple of times. Everyone we talked to was very friendly. I would definitely recommend this property and Imperial Beach.

We have stayed in this fantastic ocean-side condo on several different occasions and will spend many more when the San Diego area. Always neat and clean, owner and agent are very available and always a great source of surrounding tourist info. The view is always interesting because of the balcony on four sides if the building. Indoor parking, elevator, very nicely furnished, etc. Easily the best condo rental in the area.

Owner response:Tom and Lynne always a pleasure to have you stay with us. You are welcome any time. I am sure you enjoy getting out of the cold during the Winter months and it was so beautiful during your visit here. Warm regards, Laurel and Mark

A dream on the other side of the world

A month after our return to Germany we remember our lovely stay in in your beautiful condo. It was a dream which came true. Imperial Beach was the best place to relax after our long trip arround Arizona, Nevada and CA. Your condo was so comfortable and well equipped, everything was prefect. We loved our stay here, the walks on the beach and to the Imperial Beach Pier with great seefood, the sunbathing on the deck and swimming with the boogie-boards. The weather was great and we had some amazing sunsets. Thank you very very much for the warm welcome, it was so nice to meet you, Laurel. We will remember you and the pretty place in Imperial Beach for a long time and we wish to come back. May be - everything is possible. Warm regards from us four.

Owner response:It was such a pleasure to meet all of you. I was so happy to hear you had such a wonderful time. The next time you travel to the other side of the World to the states, please come back and stay with us here at the beach. Warm regards, Laurel

Perfect Conference Respite

Date of Stay: 09/15/11 Review Submitted: 10/17/11

My four colleagues & I stayed at this truly exceptional condo in September 2011 while attending a 6 day conference in downtown San Diego. The easy commute was usually between 25-30 minutes each way but it was most definintely worth it to "come back home" after we were through. It was a little chilly for actual swimming but we spent a lot of time on the beach and walking to the pier. Saw dolphins from our living room most every morning! Laurel was wonderful. Very accomodating. Our numerous questions were all answered in timely fashion both before we arrived and once there. Laurel even gave us suggestions of where/what we might enjoy on our time off.Upon arrival, there was a great little food basket on the counter with snacks, etc and wine in the refrigerator!! The place was very clean and well stocked with all the amenities, coffee and filters, dish soap & laundry detergent, paper products, blow-dryer, etc. The only real problem with this place was how difficult it was to leave each morning for the conference sessions! Would highly recommend this place!

Thank you Laurel and Mark for a great stay at the Condo. Coming from Snowy England, the weather for us was perfect. Imperial Beach was a very nice little town, very peaceful, which suited us well. Hope to visit again and will recommend the Condo to all our family and friends. Once again thank you for your hospitality.

Owner response:Ian & Penny it was a pleasure to meet both of you. Thank you again for staying with us here in Imperial Beach, "The Most South Westerly Beach" I hope you will come back for another visit, possibly during the Summer. Warm regards, Laurel

Perfect Thanksgiving holiday

We spent an amazing week at this condo in Imperial Beach. We were very happy that Laurel could accommodate us on such short notice - she was extremely helpful and friendly. The condo had the perfect setting - right on the beach front. We loved watching the surfers and dolphins in the waves and the sunsets every evening were particularly stunning! The weather wasn't amazing for the week but our two sons (13 and 9) still swam and bodysurfed on the boards that were provided. The condo is very well equipped with everything you need and was clean and very comfortable. We would love to return sometime when it's a bit warmer.

PERFECT STAY

We love staying in this condo. Just returned from our 2nd stay here (within 10 months) and cannot wait to return! The condo sits right on the beach (large wrap around deck -- terrific views/sunsets), is beautifully decorated, very well maintained and fully equipped with anything and everything you could possibly need -- even a lint brush!!! Laurel and Mark are both quite personable and accommodating. It's an awsome place to just sit and relax, or run constantly -- Coronado Island, Gaslamp Quarter, LaJolla just minutes away. We took several day trips -- Newport Beach, Catalina Island, Laguna Beach and down the coast to Carlsbad Village, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Del Mar. It is the Perfect Place to Stay! We highly recommend :-)

Owner response:Carla, Thank you again for coming back to the beach. You had a very full packed schedule, but it sounded like you had a great time. I was glad I was able to see you again. Look forward to a future visit. Warm regards, Laurel

Wonderful place

We had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful condo for 2 weeks in August. Laurel and Mark were exremely friendly and helpful... they left welcome gifts in the condo and Laurel even offered to watch our young children on the beach so we can relax more. The condo was so clean that we felt comfortable with our 9-month-old crawling around. The view of the ocean from the living room was amazing... and we saw dolphins just off the beach multiple times every single day. Also, the sunset in front of our eyes over the Pacific was beautiful. If we had the opportunity to go back to the San Diego area again, we would definitely love to stay at this awesome property.

Owner response:Bridget it was a pleasure to have you stay with us and I am glad you had such a great time. You are more than welcome to come back for another visit..You may want to consider a Winter visit when the snow is falling in WI, as it will be sunny and warm here at the beach. Warm regards, Laurel Marou
