Beach Condo uniquely situated between the ocean and the beautiful estuary
Enjoy a stay in the laid back beach town of Imperial Beach without the crowded streets and crazy beaches of other San Diego locations. This beach condo has been home to guests on sabbatical, extended vacations, those working in the area.
The property is located on the estuary side of Seacoast Drive, a quintessential beach street, offering restaurants such as The Brigatine and Mike Hess Brewing, souvenir shops, ice cream parlors and the D’ames Spa located in Marriott’s Pier South Hotel (all walking distance from the condo). Although not right on the ocean, the sandy beach is about 150 steps from your door where shell hunting, sandcastle making, book reading, and sunset walks can all take place. Please note that the ability to swim in the ocean has been restricted due to pollutants from Mexico entering the ocean. Signs are posted when swimming is not allowed. If not at the beach, then simply walk to your back porch and enjoy the serene views of the Tijuana River’s National Estuary Reserve. At the nearby visitors center you can learn about the estuary’s plants and animals, take a hike and do some bird watching.
Think of the condo as a hotel suite with a living/dining/kitchen area. Home cooked meals while on vacation are always a plus and the fully stocked kitchen will make that possible. The first bedroom has a Queen bed. The second bedroom has a Full over Full bunk bed. Due to the unit size and sleeping arrangements, it can sleep up to six, BUT IS LIMITED TO FOUR ADULTS. It is a bottom floor unit with easy access from street parking to the front door. The laundry facilities are conveniently located steps from the unit. There is a designated parking space for use, but closer curbside parking is usually available. The unit is equipped with internet and a smart TV with access to netflix. Linens, bedding, beach towels and (2) beach chairs are provided.
The town of Imperial Beach has gone through much growth in the past four years. New shops and eateries pop up each time we visit. There is always something going on near the beach, be it a triathlon, a run, a car show, or Santa coming to town. It’s slow pace and laid back atmosphere makes it a relaxing retreat. It is a 10 mile drive away from Coronado and near all San Diego’s attractions such as the Zoo, Seaworld and downtown San Diego. We have grown fond of the local shops such as Oasis Ice Cream on the way into town and El Tapatio Mexican shop that has come a long way from its drive though days. We love to share our little condo and its undiscovered gem of a beach town.

The condo was a great retreat and provided a relaxing stay. The little seacoast town is quaint, but has good restaurants and great access to the beach.
We enjoyed our stay in Imperial Beach. The condo is compact, but has all necessary equipment and is in a great location. The neighborhood is friendly and within walking distance of restaurants.
It is s pleasant apartment condo and it worked perfectly for our stay to do the Iron Man Triathlon. Matina was very helpful and always answered our questions promptly.
Condo is located in a great neighborhood, steps from the beach. Kitchen is well stocked with plates, silverware and anything you would need to prepare a meal. Bathroom is clean as well as the bedrooms. Beds are comfortable.

Perfect base for our family of 4 for Southern California beach adventure.
The condo was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our beach vacation. Imperial Beach access was a short walk away with beach towels, boogie boards, beach chairs and sand toys available to use. Loved the sound of the ocean waves at night from the living get room window and waking up to the sounds of birds from the estuary out the east bedroom windows. I would definitely recommend this property!

Charming Beach Location
We loved our stay at The Imperial Beach condo. It was clean with a well stocked kitchen, internet access and Netflix. The condo location is so beautiful and serene. We loved the beach. It was an easy drive to San Diego, and the fun outlet mall. The property would get 5 stars if the mattresses were more comfortable.

Great experience, will definitely stay here again.
The location was perfect, right across the street from a beautiful, quiet beach. Owner was responsive and nice to work with. Parking was great. Condo was clean and comfortable for our family of 6. We did have a few ants join us for breakfast on the last day.....don't leave your box of donuts out lol. But overall it was fantastic, we will definitely stay here again.

Thanks for the review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Ants have been a problem in San Diego this year (they dont discriminate - no matter how tidy you are, they sometimes show up). Sorry they visited you.

Great beach community condo
The Condo was perfect for our long girls weekend visiting my daughter in San Diego. We were away from the main part of town but close enough to walk anywhere in Imperial Beach. Close to San Diego attractions as well.

Great Location!
We loved being across the street from the beach! I can't say enough how beautiful the beach is here. The water is clear and we could see lots of tiny fish. The sand is wide and clean. The condo itself is charming and clean. We loved having all the extra's like boogie boards, beach toys and netflix. The owner was very helpful in answering our questions and clearly takes pride in her rental. We'll definitely be back!

Perfect Beach Vacation!
We absolutely loved our stay in Imperial Beach. It was super close to the beach and seemed like a really safe neighborhood. I loved that it was in between the ocean and the estuary. It wasn't anything like the normal craziness of the San Diego area we've stayed in before. My husband is a veteran with PTSD and he was actually able to relax while at the condo, which was amazing! Everything was clean and cozy. No complaints from us! We would absolutely stay there again and I've been spreading the word to my friends!

nice condo in a very untouristy area
We enjoyed our stay in this nice condo in Imperial Beach. It was big enough for our family with 3 young boys. We appreciated the boogie boards, beach chairs and beach toys. Nice place which is full of locals and away from touristy areas. Close proximity to Coronado Island and across the street from a nice beach.
