About this apartment rental
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.

The property description and pictures are pretty accurate. Our biggest concern was the homeless people with obvious mental or substance abuse issues outside the patio area, and the nightly fights outside the patio area. For us personally, this was enough of a safety issue to render the patio useless. Additionally, the patio windows didn’t lock so knowing there were numerous unhoused people right outside, with windows that didn’t lock, increased our sense of unease. This just wasn’t the relaxing getaway we usually experience, but this may be perfectly fine for others or possibly a different experience during peak season with more visitors in the area.

This unit is exactly as advertised! Beautiful patio directly overlooking the beach and Imperial Beach Pier. Patio gets sun from morning straight through until sundown. Well appointed unit with large TV screen and comfortable living room seating, well-stocked kitchen, and dedicated indoor parking spots. Lots of food options in walking distance. Easy access to Coronado and to points north via I-5. Highly recommend Brigatine for dinner (great food, drinks and service) and Babycakes for the best cupcakes ever! Would definitely stay here again!

103 was very well appointed. We definitely appreciated the updated interior that has been competed on this condo. Large deck overlooking the park was awesome. Not all adults had to be at the park to keep an eye on the kids since we were so close. Kids loved waving to those watching from the deck too! Deck is raised so little risk of strangers wandering in or around. Propane fire pit is a nice feature as we were there in late April and nights were still chilly. Master was very comfortable. Kids were content in 2nd bedroom. Plenty of room in kitchen and dining area and very comfortable great room furniture! 103 is on our short list of places to consider on our next visit.

This condo is as-advertised, a wonderful spot to enjoy a little old-school meets new-school San Diego beach scene. Walk to the beach in a few steps, walk to the pier only a hundred yards. The master suite is really nice, with a huge bed, nice shower, and dual sinks. The second bedroom has 2 beds, but they were a little small for my son (he's 6'3" though, so normal humans should be fine I suppose). Great parking that was easy to get in and out of. All around we were very happy we picked this place to stay.

The location and views is unbeatable! The condo was comfortable and great for a family. There is a nice playground and grassy area right outside the patio. We were really confused by the check-in process and had a hard time finding the keys but once we figured it out, all went really smoothly. Would absolutely stay here again!

We had wonderful vacation staying at Rochelle's place. The place was just as described and spacious. Rochelle was an excellent host and very easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend this vacation spot
10.0 / 10.0
This property was perfect for a relaxing getaway. Rochelle, the owner, met us at check-in to show us how to access the property and gave us a tour of the condo. The condo was in an older condo complex in Imperial Beach but this unit is definitely one of the nicest in the place. We ended up using the porch (with an amazing ocean and pier view) every morning, afternoon and evening. The fire pit was a nice bonus. While the weather wasn't the best during our stay (not very warm or sunny) it was still muggy, so it was nice to have A/C. The bed was probably one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in away from home. Other pros: 2 free parking spaces (in secure, underground garage), beach chairs, toys and towels provided, Netflix, great restaurants, shops and the pier within walking distance, and easy, private access to the beach. Cons: the outdoor jacuzzi/hot tub wasn't working while we were there, the pool area was pretty run down with only 2 lounge chairs available (but the weather wasn't nice enough for us to use it anyway), also the amenities listed a weight room but we couldn't find it anywhere in the complex. Overall, we had a great, comfortable stay and I'd recommend this condo to anyone looking to visit Imperial Beach, San Diego.

My husband and our 18 year old son and I stayed here for a week in June. The condo is clean, and everything was in working order. The beds were comfortable to sleep on. There were room darkening window coverings for sleeping in. The view of the beach is incredible. The beach is right outside the complex. There were plenty of beach toys and towels available. The beach itself is clean and family friendly. We had plenty of space to ourselves here, but nearby lifeguards are reassuring. There were so many shops and restaurants within walking distance. There is even a grocery store within walking distance. There is also a beautiful nature preserve down Seacoast Drive. The town feels safe and friendly. We did not rent a car during our stay, just used Uber, which usually came within 10 minutes of our request. We did day trips to LaJolla, Coronado, Balboa Park, the zoo and a Padres game. The condo building is very secure with locked garage and access to the grounds only accessible by use of a key. We did not use the pool or hot tub while there. We spent a few evenings and mornings on the most amazing patio, which has both sunny and shady spots depending on what you prefer. This was an amazing family vacation spot.

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing time. Rochelle was easy to communicate with about anything that came up. The beach and waves are some of the best in San Diego, and my son greatly enjoyed the surf. If you planning on being in the water, pay attention to the safety notifications. They can change daily. All in all, a wonderful time, and we will defintely return.

This place was perfect for us. The sound of the waves each morning and evening, a constant reminder of being on vacation. The place was very clean in spite of much of the decor being older. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of blanket/pillow combinations. Some of the furniture is new since the pictures were take. The pool was super easy access and the grounds are impeccably kept. The park was active, but only during the daytime - lots of family and community type activity. Quiet at night. There are dining options within walking distance and some smaller convenience type stores, as well as the pier. This location is exactly what you'd expect a small beach town to be. Views were spectacular. A great place for people who like to contemplate, read, dine and drink outside and are looking to truly get away from the hustle and bustle of the workaday world.

We absolutely loved our stay at this condo. It was very clean and comfortable and the view of the ocean out the family room windows is breathtaking. The pool and hot tub are nice and there are a lot of great places to eat out in the area. We plan to stay again.

We have stayed at a few other VRBO since there are 5 in our family & we often travel with 2 other relatives. The kitchen makes it easy & less expensive by allowing us to cook a few meals at the condo. It would be nice to have a cookie sheet or foil for baking pizza or cookies. It was very nice having assigned parking spaces. We had a rough first night which was sort of my fault...we got in late & I assumed the air was just taking a while to cool down but it wasn't working so we had a very warm night & I was a bit worried since the next day was Sunday but they came out & got it cool for us...on a Sunday! The owner/manager were very apologetic about our first night issue & got it fixed ASAP. The beach is well patrolled & the area is nice, clean & quiet. We felt very safe. A suggestion would be a detailed email about keys, garage, elevator, places to get groceries, wifi directions, favorite restaurants (skip Carrows by the way), things to do near by, things to do upon leaving...
We visited the San Diego Zoo & Seaworld...both were awesome! My absolute favorite adventure was to explore the La Jolla Beach area...we found it by accident & all enjoyed climbing the rocks/cliffs. It is well worth the drive. The little park right outside the condo is great for smaller children. We enjoyed watching the kids & surfers off the back patio each morning. It is cool when the sun goes down so bring a jacket.

Nicely decorated, with updated appliances. Conveniently location to pool, which our grandkids enjoyed on several occasions.
With temperatures in the 60's to 70's . . . we enjoyed beach walks and Imperial Beach stores and staff.

My daughter and I took my 3 grandchildren ages 10, 8 and 3 to the beach for 4 days. We loved the condo and the location. We had no problem getting access or finding the parking garage. The condo is on the first floor and the balcony looks out over the park. The boys slept on the couch and love seat and my daughter and granddaughter used the twin beds. Plenty of room for all of us. The gate access to the beach did not work with any of the keys we had so we had to go down the front steps and around the corner but the front access was right across from our front door so it was faster that way anyway. They allowed us to bring our dog at the last minute with a pet deposit which was very nice of them and saved us a huge headache when our dog sitter cancelled on us at the last minute. We walked to several eating places, bought some food and beer at the market across the street. There is a donut shop down the road as well as a larger grocery and pharmacy. The kids played at the park in the mornings and we played on the beach all day. We drove to Balboa park one day and it was an easy drive there and back. It wasn't to crowded on the beach and not really any loud partying going on which was good. A few homeless people around but you get that in any big city so it didn't bother us they minded their own business and just hung out. The pool and spa were clean and very nice. I will for sure stay here again.

Condo is priced great for beach location! The 2 full baths made it nice for the ladies! Would stay here again and recommend to others.

My husband and I stayed here while I was away from home working in San Diego. We loved the location of this property. Imperial beach is a very quiet part of San Diego. It was nice to be away from the bustle of busy city life. Watching the sunset every night was a dream come true for me having always wanted to live on the beach. Having 2 parking spaces was also a plus. There was so much room in this condo, that it was a shame it was only the two of us.Plus sides to the place were close to the beach, plenty of room for alot of people, lots of dishes and linens even though outdated, large patio with furniture, cable(few channels), linens, king size bed in master. The downsides to this place though were many. There were homeless people in the park right outside the patio EVERY night with multiple arrests during our 6 week stay.Plenty of suspicious activities in the park at night. The appliances are very outdated and some even broken, coffee pot didnt work,espresso machine broke. There was broken dishes and appliances in the cupboard.The cleaning supplies cupboard is locked so you cant get into it to clean up. The rules for the pool and sauna were RIDICULOUS and even costly if broken( $100 fine if you wanted to soak in hot tub past 10p, $100 fine if your children were caught playing loudly in the pool)!! The gym is a JOKE, the equipment is from 1975 and rusted. So if you plan on working out while staying here you had better look into a gym membership.The upstairs unit had an alarm clock that went off for a week every night at 3am and the tenants were not there. It took 7 days and sleepless nights to get the issue resolved. We never recieved a mail key for the mailbox, even though we were told we would shorty after arrival( our stay was 6 1/2 weeks). This place could be transformed into 5 stars very easily with new furniture, appliances, decor, linens, paint, upgrades and a change in pool/sauna rules. It is a vacation spot and the rules make it feel like a retirement home! The owners did kindly let us arrange a very friendly way to pay for our extended stay which we appreciated greatly. We also requested an extra gate opener which we recieved a couple weeks into our stay which made it easier with 2 cars. The property manager was very nice and usually responded to a call promptly. In a wrap, we would return in hopes of changes and because of the beautiful beach side location this unit is in!

Our family had a great vacation and we were impressed with the level of service that Alyssa provided before, during and after our visit.
Location is key with this condo as it is in a perfect spot.
