Entertain a small group, sitting practically on the beach, view the sunset, the IB pier and the Marriott Resort, beyond Dunes Park. Lay out openly on this spacious patio or sit back, sheltered from wind, sun and public sight. Enjoy the same views from the kitchen, dining and living rooms, all brightly remodeled with (faux) driftwood floors and marble countertops. Fully stocked, you'll find comfortable beds, the best appliances, and even Boogie boards, games and sand toys for the kids.

The space
This large condo unit (1275 Sq feet) has ample space for lounging in the common areas as well as large bedrooms, each with flat screen TVs and internet. Pay-per-view orders are available at an additional charge. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. There is a brand new washer and dryer in the unit for your use. The master suite has a California King bed, walk-in closet, twin sinks, a large extra-deep bathtub with separate shower and toilet room. The 2nd bedroom has two twins and a pull out bed. There are air beds for extra guests to set up in the living room, where three or more adults can comfortably sleep, listening to the waves outside.
The large patio at ground level has a beautiful fire pit table to keep your group cozy in the evenings. Close enough that you could literally throw a stone to the sand on the beach. It's a great area for sunbathing, with full exposure. But many guests love the little nook, where an intimate party can gather around a bar-height table to dine outside, overlooking the full view while being virtually invisible to the public and protected from the wind and sun. Perfectly comfortable for your morning coffee, card parties or working on computer. And with the door open, you can even kick back and watch TV from the nook outside, while you smell the fresh ocean breezes.

Guest access
ALL of this entire 1275 sq foot unit is available to our guests (except for housekeeping closet). The public areas are also accessible with your keys to the pool, Jacuzzi, work-out/meeting rooms, the BBQ pits and poolside dining areas, and the lounge chairs surrounding the pool, heated outdoor showers and common area bathrooms.

This unit is strictly used year-round for vacationers who want a quiet warm sunny beach from which to enjoy Southern California. You'll find that the prices vary according to the same seasonal and holiday rates as the Marriott's South Pier Resort next door, slightly more expensive during holidays and the summertime.

But for the same price, you can sit on your own large patio, steps from the pool, with a full kitchen, water toys for adults and kids, two bedrooms, two baths (one with a deep soaking tub) and 1275 square feet instead of the 350 square feet that the hotel resort will offer. The only thing they have that we don't, is your massage and nail spa, and a fire-pit (too much liability). But then all you have to do is make a reservation or walk next door at order a drink at the restaurant when that suits your fancy.

There is beach access from the complex - just walk toward the back of the complex past the grills through the door straight onto the sand. Make sure you take a key with you to re-enter the property. You will find that Imperial Beach, especially in the quiet off-season, is one of the best kept secrets in San Diego County.

Other things to note
Since this unit is the closest to the front of the building, you will enjoy the fact that you can walk practically straight from your front door to the pool and jacuzzi areas. You will also find a shower with warm water directly in front of the elevator. We ask that you please use it to shower off sand from feet, clothing and sand toys. Guests bringing a small dog have found that using this shower is a great way to be sure that your doggie's feet and hair are always clean and fresh. And there's now a park across the street, supplied with plastic bags to clean up any doggie mess, so DO NOT use the planters in the building. Please. Laminated rules and associated fines established by the HOA are strictly enforced.
Also, please note that San Diego County and the City of Imperial beach require an additional fee of 10% to cover taxes. This fee will be requested from you after your booking is confirmed and you will be notified through the resolution center.
