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.

The house is walking distance to the beach, pier, park and a bunch of shops and restaurants. The porch was our favorite part since you can see the ocean and relax. Emily was an absolute pleasure to work with and made sure we were all taken care of. We would definitely recommend this home for a great family vacation. ##### Matt G.

In that time, the kindness and communication with John and Emilia have always been the best. We refer to it as, "our beach house", as it is a great location for us and warm in its feel. Biggest bang for your buck while staying in Imperial Beach. ##### Eric P. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kevin W. 8 Aug 2022 Liked: Location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### A mixed experience Overall our stay was fine. The location is fantastic, if you want to be close to the beach and that's pretty much all you care about then you can't beat this. Communication with the host was hit and miss, there are some inaccuracies in the listing information, but it's all small stuff. I'd probably stay here again. ##### Kevin W. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Carol A. 21 May 2019 #### Great location, nice view We enjoyed our stay in Imperial Beach. This was our first time to the area and found it to be very inviting and a quieter pace than right in the city. We enjoyed the easy access to Coronado and loved being able to just take a short walk down to the ocean. The view from the deck was lovely and we liked being able to see the sunset each night. Unfortunately the weather was quite cool (but sunny) when we were there but we could still enjoy the view through the window. The issues we had were few & minor .... - parking for one vehicle was very tight so be prepared for that - bunk beds were very squeeky and the top bunk was right under a heating vent - futon in bunk bed room was very hard & uncomfortable so our child chose the living room instead - kitchen was well stocked with the basic needs however it would be nice to see the cutlery updated to a little nicer quality including the other utensils ... definitely well used. Overall we really enjoyed this place and would stay here again if we come back to the area. ##### Carol A. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim Y. 19 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Imperial Beach Gem We just returned home from a wonderful family vacation at John and Emilia's condo in Imperial Beach, and are already looking forward to our next trip there. The location is great, within walking distance of the beach, and several local restaurants and shops. We enjoyed spending evenings on the large patio facing the ocean. The condo came equipped with everything we needed. There was plenty of space for our group. The beds and sofas were comfortable. The kitchen came equipped with all the dishes, pots, pans, and utensils needed, and there was also a gas grill on the patio. There are tvs with premium channels in all three bedrooms as well as the livingroom . Communication with the owners was really great. Check in and check out was very easy. They are great hosts, very responsive, and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely book another stay at the Imperial Beach condo. ##### Tim Y. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Catrina D. 21 Aug 2018 #### Great location, neglected accommodations We booked this place based on all the 5-star reviews. However, when we arrived, and throughout our stay, we wondered how anyone could have reviewed it as 5-star. The photos showed that the place had not been updated, so this was as expected, but we did not expect the following: - Dirty, sticky surfaces, especially the table and cupboards. Walls and doors had numerous marks and scrapes. Kitchen sink smelled bad, fruit flies. - General disrepair and broken items. Scaling on bathroom fixtures and tub doors; upholstery was worn away from arms on arm chairs; missing baseboards; missing and dirty blind panels, stained seat cushions, stains on curtains. Broken power button on dryer. Refrigerator ice and water dispenser didn't work. Patio furniture was not as pictured; patio table was rusted; patio had non-operating hot tub that was being used as junk storage; patio grill was rusty, and ran out of gas part way through cooking the one night we used it. - Hot and loud. There was no A/C so all windows had to be open; lots of street noise and people on the street talking/partying kept us awake at night. - Uncomfortable beds and sheets. Sheets were pilled and scratchy. Pillows were lumpy. The location was great, near the beach, shops and restaurants. However, we felt misled by the reviews. We significantly overpaid for the level of accommodations we received. We would not stay here again. ##### Catrina D. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Kimberly K. 15 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Beware of beach access The penthouse apartment was fine, but we were unaware that the beaches in the Imperial Beach area were not safe for swimming due to sewage from Mexico. This has apparently been the case for months/years, but that information is not reflected in the listing. If you just want to walk around in the sand and sunbathe/watch the waves it’s fine for that, but if you want to actually swim you have to head further up north. It’s on us for not doing our research prior to the trip, but we’ve never had to do that for any other beach trip so we weren’t thinking about it. ##### Kimberly K.

Stairs to top. ##### Doug R. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Elsie 31 May 2025 Liked: Amenities Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3a3dc8c4-c20a-49df-afc3-b931385c7e98-1748716117422.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Elsie Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth S. 14 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Beth S.

Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lidiya M. 10 Dec 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### 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. ##### Lidiya M. Stayed 9 nights in Nov 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### RuthAnn K. 9 Oct 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### RuthAnn K.
