The pictures of this condo are pretty good, but the real thing is even better, much better. Sitting at the window, we felt like we were sitting on the beach, could hear the waves, watch the surfers, enjoy the sunsets. I liked to sit at the kitchen counter, facing the window and watching the ocean, while working on my computer. The beach was right there when we stepped out of the condo complex. There are several good restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Everyday we took long walks on the beach that stretched endlessly. This condo doesn't have seaworld or balboa park around the corner, but we had a truly relaxing vacation there. The condo itself was spacious and full of light. The only thing we didn't like was the very much outdated fitness room, you should consider the fitness room non-existent. But who needed a fitness room when we could run on the beach, watching dolphins jumping out of the water, and the Coronado island stretching in front of us? The pool and jacuzzi did look nice.

Other details:
The Cow-A-Bunga ice cream shop at the beginning of the pier is delicious! We tried 10+ flavors there and all of them were outstanding!
The farmer's market on Friday afternoon. There was live music that was very fitting to the ocean scene and happy people everywhere.

My family and I (which included a toddler and an elderly disabled individual) recently resided at this condo for a family vacation and we loved it. it was exactly as pictured. the view was great, the condo was in great shape and had everything we needed. i enjoyed the privacy. and even though they were doing construction next door it did not bother us, we couldnt hear it. access to the beach was wonderful. all in all it was a great trip and the condo was awesome. i will definitely be returning there.

This condo was exactly as pictured and described. It was very clean and comfortable. The master bedroom bed was fabulous. The view from the condo was wonderful overlooking the beach & ocean. The property managers answered our questions and were very helpful with the a/c. I would recommend this condo to anyone interested in going to Imperial Beach. It was very quiet and close to grocery stores and pharmacy and great access from the freeway. It has a separate shower that was easy for my physically challenged husband to enter. A hotel is being built two blocks south of the condo and the noise started at 7 am and continued for most of the day. A great alarm clock! We didn't let it ruin our stay.
