This vacation rental is every bit as beautiful as it looks in the photos and is described in the listing.
The location simply couldn't be more ideal, right next to the Hotel del Coronado. We loved the stunning, 10-minute walk along the oceanfront the many restaurants and shops downtown. There is so much to see and do in Coronado and this condo is in the heart of it. Twice during our stay we were able to see fireworks displays at the Hotel, and they were magnificent. We watched the Navy Seals train, we saw pods of dolphins swim by, we tracked the ships passing by or anchored offshore, and we marveled at the variety of the Navy aircraft flying into the Naval Air Station. DO NOT forget your binoculars!!
The condo itself is exceptionally well laid-out, so that each bedroom area has significant privacy and quiet -- a real benefit because we had relatives and friends coming in and out to stay with us. In fact, the entire complex is exceptionally well-constructed, well-maintained, and professionally staffed: The landscaping is lush and well cared for; the building lobby is lovely; the pools are all supplied with ample chairs, umbrellas, tables, and grills (which are cleaned by the staff at least daily so they're always ready for use!)
I’m sensitive to noise so I always look for that in reviews. Although the building itself is extremely quiet and we never heard our neighbors, noise coming from the outside can be significant. There’s currently construction at the adjacent part of the Hotel del Coronado, which can be noisy but that’s a temporary, short-term situation. The military aircraft can be extremely loud, but we loved seeing them and the sound we heard from them was worth it. The Silver Strand generates surprisingly loud traffic noise. That said, it wasn't a problem for us or any of our guests – in large part because the beds are some of the most comfortable beds any of us have ever slept in.
Finally, I have to mention how responsive and gracious the owner, Ed, is. We had a couple of questions during our stay and he was immediately responsive. Thank you, Ed!
