Imperial Beach is a small, laid-back town of about 25,000 people and it's less busy than most beach areas in San Diego County. There are at least 8 restaurants within a 5-minute walk from the condo. There is a well-stocked 7-11 and Leon’s convenience stores and a taco shop about 20 yards away, and two coffee houses within 200 yards. There are many fine restaurants Sea 180, Thai food, Brigantine, Coronado Brewing, Mike Hess brewing, including several at the Hotel Del Coronado, in the beautiful and very exclusive city of Coronado, located about 8 miles north of Imperial Beach along the 'Silver Strand' that separates the Pacific Ocean from San Diego Bay. The condo is located on 177 Palm Avenue, which is a major street further to the east, but by the time it gets to the beach, it's a two-lane road. To get to the beach from the condo, it's a walk of about 200 yards crossing one street, Seacoast Drive, which is controlled by a four way stop sign.

Imperial Beach has wide sandy beaches, all of which are publicly accessible. The surf is excellent, the area just north of the Imperial Beach Pier and another area about 1 mile south are among the best surfing locations in Southern California. The City of Imperial Beach has been working to emphasize the surfing theme, and the plentiful public art reflects that. There are two beach-front public parks within walking distance of the condo, one at the foot of the Imperial Beach Pier. The pier is about 300 yards long and there's a restaurant at the end. Even at prime time on weekends. it's easy to find a place to set up at Imperial Beach. No alcohol is allowed at the beach or in the public parks and the public places are very family-friendly. Imperial Beach is not a 'party' area compared to other San Diego County beaches such as Mission Beach or Pacific Beach.

Easy walking distance to the beach, all shops, restaurants and historic pier. Enjoy small beach town unhurried atmosphere, estuary, ocean and bay. Also close to Coronado and San Diego for more shopping, restaurants and water activities. Close to Coronado, Las Americas outlet mall, San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Lego Land and Baja California Mexico. Bring your passport when you visit in case you want to go to Baja California, México.

Owners were awesome. Gave just the leniency we needed with a change. We’re suuuuper communicative and available with our couple of questions. The 7/11 next door made things easy. Door to beach is MAYBE 5 minutes. Door to end of the pier about 20 minute walk. Burger place across the street is great food. We will TOTALLY book again if in town

Great space!

The condo is spacious and has excellent views and locations. We enjoyed the opportunity to gather our family and enjoy meals and special time together. The beach town was quiet in the middle of winter, but things were open and the opportunities for dining were amenable. We want to go back in the summer and do things it was too cold for in December.

Enough room for 8 people, ocean view was exceptional. Place was a little dirty, had to do some cleaning before settled in. Street noise was high especially at night. Only one parking area for a medium size car or truck. Have to hike 3 levels of stairs to get to unit, ok if you have young legs. Ocean was closed due to contamination. Lots of Restaurants and shops in walking distance. Would not stay in this area again.

Great place for a weekend!!!

The place was just what we needed. Close to the beach and many restaurants. Easy to get to and check in was a breeze!! The owners even paid for a couple of cases of water due to an E-coli warning from a recent tropical storm.

Overall very satisfied

I would generally recommend this location but the cleanliness could use an improvement. The whole place feels like it hasn’t been deep cleaned in a long time. (Ex. Shelves in the closets were covered in dust) On the other side, the kitchen was very well stocked and towels were a plenty. The communication with the host was very good and we felt at home. The neighborhood was generally friendly and the pizza brewery was awesome. The 7/11 attracts some questionable folks but other than that the area is super quiet and nice. Make sure to the check the water conditions before coming cause there were contamination signs up. So other than the cleanliness I have no major complains about this place.

Not as described

I booked this property for a family event based on the listing photos and reviews. The day of check-in I was pleasantly surprised by receiving lengthly instructions for the process, along with details about the use of the property, plus great recommendations for things to do and restaurant recommendations, as well as explicit details on the parking spot. I was thrilled. The thrill quickly faded as we approached the condo. The advertised photos were clearly taken YEARS ago. The living room furniture was worn and dingy. The tubs looked dirty and we bought cleaner before even attempting to shower. The black faucet had so much white calcification that we didn’t want to touch it, and was difficult to turn on because of it. Really didn’t want to touch anything. The ceiling fan in the dining room had dust and grime so obvious, that we didn’t turn it on, in fear of the dirt being dislodged and distributed onto our food. The patio furniture was literally falling apart. We did get a text from the owner after check-out apologizing for the condition of the patio furniture , explaining it was on backorder. It should have been replaced years ago. The patio space is shared with, I’m guessing, the owners condo. Although we never saw anyone, it was a bit unsettling that someone may have been there. I have no clue how anyone could give this property a good review - I feel duped that there are 5 stars from so many. Location was great, not much else was.
