Long overdue CA getaway

My husband and I came to CA to attend our nephews graduation from the Navy Seals SWCC program and stayed at this wonderful property on Imperial Beach enjoyed coffee on the balcony every morning watching surfers The condo had everything we needed and the area is easy to get around We especially liked having coffee at Ye Ole Plank Inn about a block away and The Brigantine restaurant was very good for a nice sit down meal (especially if you like seafood) The property owner Ed is easy to reach and very helpful with any questions we had My sister brother in law and nephew stayed with us a couple of nights there was plenty of room San Diego has a lot to see so hopefully we can come back and will definitely stay at this location if it’s available:)

The views of the ocean, beach and pier were awesome. Great for walks. Restaurants walkable. The beds were comfortable, secure parking, and space in condo were excellent (had new: in-suite washer & dryer, microwave, fridge and dishwasher) Interior could use some updating. Only 25-30 minute drive from San Diego Old Town, Hop on Hop off tour and Zoo. The host, Ed was very helpful. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

Great place for a Family Trip!

Our biggest gripe from our kids was that they weren’t allowed in the water due to sewer leakage from Tijuana. We specifically booked to be on the beach so that was definitely a bummer. That would have been nice to have been disclosed. Not being from the area- I didn’t know about the issues but from reading articles it sounds like this has been an issue since 2021. (We started getting in the water and had the lifeguards stop us). However, the sunsets were killer from the condo! Beautiful beach otherwise with an awesome pier to walk. Ed made check in a breeze and the fruit basket was wonderful as well. Basketball courts and the pool/spa were great to keep the 4 kiddos occupied! The only other issue we had was at random times of the day- the entry way would smell heavily of pot. It seemed to be coming through the vents- so I’m sure it was either someone below or next to us. Overall- we had an awesome family trip and if the sewage issues at the beaches resolve then we will be back for sure!

Great vacation/getaway spot

We very much enjoy the layout and location of this property. Last year we stayed at another unit in the building and it is in a great location. You can watch the sunset and in the morning receive motivation from the folks using the outdoor gym below while sipping coffee. We recommend.

Location was great. Property needs major updating. Dryer did not work and was not told this prior to getting there. Also was charged a cleaning fee because he said his housekeeper saw “feces on the floor”. My children wear diapers and there was no feces on the floor.

Beach house

My family and I enjoyed staying at Ed’s property. The patio overlooked the beach and the playground which was great for the kids. We enjoyed the large master suite/bathroom. Ed provided a pack and play, strollers, high chair, booster and some games which were helpful for us traveling with three children. We definitely would like to come stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Ed and Sandy Hornyak

Sandy and I moved back to the San Diego area in 1991 after I retired from 21 years in the navy. Sandy retired from registered nursing about five years ago, and I retired two years ago after teaching first grade for fifteen years. So we are really, really, retired now and enjoying every minute of it! We like to travel and try to get away several times a year. We developed the travel bug during my last years in the navy since we were stationed in Rota, Spain for four years and then in the U.S. Embassy in Lisbon, Portugal for almost five. But sometimes we just like to 'travel' to our beautiful condo by the ocean for a few days every once in awhile.

Why they chose this property

We've always dreamed of owning property by the water so we jumped at the chance to buy this place. Imperial Beach is so much quieter than San Diego's other beaches and that's what we like most about it.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the view of the beach and ocean from the living room area. Even though you are away from it all, everything in San Diego is within easy reach.
