My wife and I spent valentine's day weekend at this location. The place was amazing and the communication with the property manager was awesome. We did take our fur baby, so for those who have pets, the place is great. We were extremely relaxed and we hope to visit this place again in the future. The beach is practically a hop and a skip away. Totally enjoyed the walks on the beach. Till our next visit!!!

The property is a little aged but is clean, furnished nicely and very comfortable. The patio is awesome for morning coffee and the most amazing sunsets! The ocean is (as promised) right out the patio door! The location is great - within walking distance to pier & pubs, easy drive to local shopping areas and access to interstates for day trips and airport, also lots of beach for daily walks! We would defintely stay here again! Thanks Kayli for sharing with us!!

The location of the condo truly is at ocean's edge. The view and the feeling of being right at the ocean is awesome! Kayli was great to work with and spoke with us often as our trip got closer. The condo was clean and ready when we arrived. The Imperial Beach community is relatively quiet compared to the surrounding communities. The close proximity to Coronado via the Silver Strand is a plus. It also made for a scenic drive in the evening over the Coronado Bridge. We wouldn't hesitate staying here again when in the southern part of San Diego county.

We were very comfortable and happy with this condo. Beautiful views and easy access to the beach. The condo has everything to make yourself right at home. We look forward to staying here again soon!!!!

THE BAD (there is good - see end of review) Sewage contaminated ocean water and water off-limits to swimmers: The Tijuana River (which this property is close to) spills sewage into the ocean (this has been happening for decades - we didn't know this before we got to the property). For the duration of our stay, it was posted all along the beach to not get in the water. After looking it up, we found out this happens a good portion of the year (if you want beach front property, it may be in your best interest to look farther North) Kids are not welcome: During the check-in process, while speaking with the property owner over the phone, we were told twice that it would be best for our kids to always eat outside so "microfiber" crumbs do not get on the floor or counter tops and attract ants. We were asked to buy ant killer (using our own money and vacation time) and put it out (I don't mind helping, but have the ant killer available for guests to use if you are going to ask). We were also asked to put linens on the couches so the kids didn't get them dirty. We were also told that no sand at all could get in the house (this seemed impossible considering the proximity of the property to the beach). Between the crumbs and sand requests, we did not feel very relaxed inside the property, especially with our kids. Lease agreement fiasco: We were promised a few different times that the lease agreement would be provided to us so we could sign it and scan it back. Each time, the lease agreement did not come at the promised time. It was finally provided at 1:30 am (just a few hours before we had to get to the airport early in the morning to catch our flight). This was especially inconvenient because we were told several times that we had to sign the document and scan it back to the property owner before we could get into the property (an electronic signature was eventually accepted after complaining that the agreement was sent late). The sofa bed is not in good shape Picture #4 in the property posting (as of Sept 2019) is taken from a balcony. This balcony is not part of the property. THE GOOD Really pretty views Plenty of parking across the street Silverware, dishes and cups available and the dishwasher worked Outside provides a chill/relaxed atmosphere Washing machine and dryer worked well Plenty of towels and linens The neighbors were nice The new sliding glass doors and screens were really nice

Had a nice time the condo could not of been any closer to the beach it was a nice peaceful beach. The condo has everything that you could ever need and the beds were comfortable

Just got one thing to say OMG “love it” it was so perfect we have been coming to San deigo for that last 20 years and this was the best one so far and we will stay no where else but here the place, beach, people was all amazing I wish I never had to leave but one promise we will be back next year thanks Kayli for everything 💗💗recommendation to u all you will love it

Wonderful property . More than waht we expected. Owner is wonderful! Very responsive to all our questions prior to our vacation and followed up with us while we were there to be sure all was good. Our sons and daughters in law came with us to celebrate our anniversary. Accommodations were perfect as was Imperial Beach. We plan to do it again and hope to stay at Kayli’s place again and again

When we arrived at this condo is was not the heaven on earth as described. The photos are outdated and do not show the true nature of the condo’s condition. The frig was taped together, mirrors throughout the entire condo were rubbed off, the bathtub surface was worn off, lamps were rusted, toilet paper holder was taped together, the outdoor hose holder was completely rusted away, and the couches were old and dirty feeling. Large pieces of glass came out of the ice maker and we were lucky no one swallowed any. When I called the owner she just blew it off and said we should empty the ice maker. The condo smelled of animals when we arrived but we assumed it was par for the course with the way to the condo looked. and the way the owner dealt with the glass pieces. I am s super organized person and was willing to sign the rental agreement months ahead of time. I contacted the owner multiple times without much luck. I tried calling, texting, and even emailing through VEBO. When she finally replied I sent the personal information she required three or four times before she finally acknowledged she had received it and sent the rental agreement. Trying to get the code for the condo was a nightmare too. The owner would promise to call right back but would not follow through. We never got the code until 2 hours before check in. I was wondering if it was even going to be a legit place to stay. A week later I got an email from VRBO stating my refund would be zero. The owner accused us of bringing a cat and claimed there was damage. This was absolutely untrue. She didn’t bother to call and talk to me. Instead it was if she was trying to simply keep my deposit and hope I’d not notice. One of our party (4 fifty eight year old high school girlfriends coming from across the country) is allergic to cats! I am always willing to admit my mistakes but in this case I can honestly say I did nothing wrong. There was no cat while we were there. My mistake was believing the listing as described and then assuming the owner was honest. I will not make that mistake again. The owner would not listen to our side of the story and was unwilling to research things from previous renters when I explained how things were when we arrived at the condo We left the condo in better shape than we found it. The kitchen was spotless, dishwasher run, and the bed linens were taken off the beds to help the cleaning crew. I would be very cautiou

Enjoyed our time there, close to everything. So nice to just walk out the back door and be on the beach. All we had to add was food, everything we needed to cook with was there. Great places to eat just down the street.

The property is as described with fantastic ocean views and access. We loved having the new sliding doors open to hear the crashing waves. I would book this property again as the location is stellar. The only suggestion I would make is for the owner to have written instructions for the various features. Never could figure out the fireplace. The coded entry was tricky but with more verbal instructions from the owner we managed to lock and unlock as we came and went. Parking space is SMALL and tricky to use, especially since the space next to us was occupied by an oversized SUV.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location worked well with our visit for our granddaughter's ballet recital in Coronado and visiting with them at their home in San Ysidro. We love Imperial Beach and this place was perfect for us and our dogs.

We arrived to the property and it hadn't been cleaned. However, Kayli rectified the situation quickly. Other than that, the location of the property is absolutely beautiful, can't be any closer to the beach!

The location was everything promised and so much more! The sound of the pounding surf and everything in the condo designed around fully enjoying a coastal getaway was magnificent. I truly enjoyed the time we spent here.

Location is excellent- beach is literally right off back patio. Home is comfortable and relaxing. Stunning views out the sliding doors overlook the ocean. Loved this area- quiet and we felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves, yet close enough to walk to the pier and other attractions or just a short drive from San Diego.

What I LOVED: LOTS of fresh towels available. Many vrbo's I've stayed in have barely had enough for a stay, so this was a lovely surprise! The LOCATION. Being able to walk straight out onto the beach was lovely, the view amazing, even seeing whales and dolphins out in the water one morning. A lovely walking distance to the pier. NOT SO GREAT was that the livingroom doors still do not open, and this has been ongoing since at least October, as I read in another review. One of the couches was covered with a dirty sheet, so we just avoided that one. Communication with the owner was difficult to make happen, and once it did, it remained difficult in that she talked over me and raised her voice, as mentioned in another review as well. Her cleaning crew was late so we were unable to bring our groceries into the condo until over an hour past check in time. We set our groceries on the front step and walked the beach while we waited. During this time the owner called me and told me I needed to immediately go back to the condo to communicate with her cleaning crew for her, which I found very unprofessional. This was because although I felt the owner had given me permission to drop our bags at the condo early, the owner denied that she gave this permission unless the cleaning crew was present. I did not get that message when we spoke. When she called to give directions to get into the condo and the rules of staying there, she talked extremely fast, and I had to rapidly write 2pagesofinfo down. This info could be typed& emailedOn the last day of our stay, we left the condo one hour before checkout time to go walk for one last coffee. I forgot my phone so I went to go back in, and we were locked out. The combo to get into the condo had already expired! So watch out for that! Thank heavens I had accidentally left the bedroom sliding door unblocked, or we wouldn't have been able to get back in! Many windows in the condo didn't open, and it would get stuffy at times. Fan in the master bathroom broken, and even the toilet paper roll holder was held together by electrical tape. These little things wouldn't matter so much if the owner had not spoken harshly to me on the phone. I didn't feel that I would want to contact her even if I needed to after being treated like an employee by her. The cleaning crew should have been contacted ahead of time by the owner so they knew we would be dropping our bags off early. We did not have a car to store them in until checkin time.

My family and I enjoyed staying at this location. It was very quiet and peaceful. The condo was clean and inviting. Comfortable beds and adequate space. The only thing that was inconvenient was the fact that the patio door off of the living area did not work. We would have enjoyed relaxing in that room with an open door. A screen door on the bedroom would have been nice as well. Kayli was a perfect host and I look forward to staying at her place in the future.

We enjoyed the view and watching the ships moving around. The condo was clean. The housekeepers do a great job. The sliding glass door in the living room was broken and could not be used to go out to the beach. We had to use the sliding glass door in the bedroom (lock broken on that door) or the front door and go around to get to the beach. Owner did say she was fixing the living room door. Communication was limited with owner until we contacted Home Away. She then contacted us. We received information we needed to assess the condo. We enjoyed our time in the area. Fun beach!!

We couldn't of been happier with this rental. We came to Imperial Beach to visit relatives, and discovered a hidden gem. The beach was literally steps away and the pier was a short walk away, as well as gift shops, cafe's and restaurants. The views of the ocean were stunning, right from the living room, and we fell asleep to the sounds of the ocean every night. We really had no problems, and Kayli was responsive, even to answer simple questions.

We were looking for quiet, safe, comfortable, clean and with amazing views - and that is exactly what we got. Everything went smooth from booking - to speaking with owner about details - to finding - to enjoying our days. Kayli, the owner, was delightful and shared everything we needed to know. She accommodated our needs to make our stay rewarding to fit with our times and variables due to traveling with my elderly mother. I got to run on the beach at sunset, hubby got to finally enjoy time off work and do some chillaxin', mom got to see the ocean and collect sea shells. Special note: everything you need is there and available-from kitchenware to fireplace and all in between. Just pack your toothbrush and beach clothes and your good!

I walked in through the front door and I was absolutely speechless. The photos posted on the rental advertisement, while high quality in general, simply failed to do this slice of heaven the justice it deserves. The location is prime. Tucked away near the end of a dead end road, you hear no traffic or pedestrian noises, just the soothing sound of the waves that are only feet from the back patio area. Most importantly about the location is the adjacent beach. It is completely uninhabited, you have miles of beach to yourself to the left of the property. To the right, while also pleasantly desolate, is just a short few minute walk from the pie/ farmers market/ downtown area. The inside of the rental is as beautiful as it outer surroundings. As unbelievably nice as the weather was, and as incredibly close to an unpopulated beach this place is, I found it difficult to leave the condo because of how cozy it is. The wrap around full couch, the fire place, the flat screen TV, the amazingly comfortable bed, the natural lighting, ocean air pouring in...I just couldn't help but want to stay inside all day. Kayli herself was an absolute gem to work with. She made sure that she had done absolutely everything in her power to accommodate me and everyone of my needs. Not only did she have the place spotlessly clean when I entered, she even had recently bought and assembled two high powered fans because she thought her previous fans looked slightly dated, bought all new towels, and even left mints on the pillow. She is a class act all around. I wont book anywhere else when staying in the Imperial Beach area.

I enjoyed my stay at this condo. The kitchen and bathrooms were nicely furnished. The living area was very comfortable. The sliding glass door to the patio doesn't work properly but Kayli explained that when I talked to her. I also liked the location because it is away from the populated part of the beach. You can also get to Coronado Island without going back to the bridge. The only thing between the condo and the beach are the rocks and I liked them. It is easy to get around the rocks to the beach. The major bump in the road I had was getting Kayli to communicate with me. Her house in Northern Ca. was in the path of the fires and I have much empathy for her on that regard. However she had my money for two months and she didn't send the lease agreement. When she did decide to communicate everything went fine but that was barely 2 weeks before my stay was scheduled.

Good Time

This is a wonderful property mere steps away from the beach, great view of the Pacific Ocean with frequent sightings of dolphins and the occasional sea lion. Very relaxed atmosphere, minimal amount of people, sounds of the surf constant, pier less than a mile away, waves large enough for surf and boogie boarding, the list goes on and on. Keep in contact with the owner by phone and email and she will walk you through the particulars of your stay.

Very nice place. Owing to location beach was very secluded.

There were many items not working and broken, most of all the patio door off the bedroom had no screen so you could not open up the door to let any fresh air or ocean breeze/sound in. There was a small window in that room to the side that had no view or air circulation, plus the vertical blinds on that window were broken so you couldn't open them either. The patio door off the living room track was broken, so it was virtually impossible to open and close that door unless you were very strong. The kitchen overhead light did not work and the light overhead for the laundry area did not work either. Bathroom window did not open. Kitchen was extremely dated and old and bathtubs were so old and had blue paint patching up the old fiberglass over the entire tubs on both them. Not appealing to even step into for a shower, and certainly I can't imagine ever taking a bath in either of the tubs. The toilet continuously ran as the flush valve and float and lever needed replaced. In summary, this property needs major attention and renovation.
