Great location

The cottage is in an ideal location. Easy to get to everywhere in Coronado. It is artsy and there are many arts objects throughout the cottage. It is in a very quiet neighborhood. You always feel safe. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The Perfect Stay

The cottage was absolutely adorable. It felt much larger than advertised. It was really was stocked with everything you could imagine, from birthday candles to a Weight Watcher Scale. Thia helped us to not put on the typical 10 pound vacation weight gain Susan was wonderful to work with and she went out of her way to accommodate us with an emergency back home. you will enjoy the unit. Give it a try.

Cottage on A avenue/ Coronado Village

This was the 2nd year we spent the month of August in the cottage. It's very charming and quite spacious for the size. The cottage has everything you need so all you need to pack are your clothes. The kitchen is well equipped with pots, pans, toaster, coffee maker,spices, blender and so much more. There's a washer/dryer as well as a TV with premium channels. Highly recommend staying here. The owners are very accommodating. Walking distance to numerous restaurants, the library, Spreckles park, Lambs theater, Hotel Del Coronado and the beaches!

Magical

We have rented this cottage 4 years now and it's as lovely and magical as ever. The beautiful artwork, lush gardens and attention to every detail make this a really special place. It's functional as well with all the amenities you could need and then some. It's convenient to all Coronado has to offer. You can bike or walk anywhere -to the beach, shops, restaurants or the ferry to San Diego. The owners are the best, most helpful and wonderful people you could meet, who go out of their way to make sure everything is right. We love staying here!

The Best VRBO on Coronado, Hands Down!

This vacation rental is nothing short of amazing! I cannot believe that I can rent a place that is so gorgeous and perfect in every way! I've stayed in many VRBO's on Coronado and this one takes the cake BY FAR!!! It was nice having all the amenities of home, yet being on such a wonderful island away from all the hustle and bustle. The garden is remarkable. The fountain and greenery make you feel like you're in a movie. The artwork is extraordinary. The owner, Susan is the artist which makes it so much more special. She has other pieces for sale too, it's definitely worth the inquiry. Susan and Joe are delightful owners...always there for your needs. They really make you feel like you're not just staying somewhere. You truly feel as comfortable as if it were your own home. And the house - just look at the pictures, they speak for themselves! It's so much better in person too...the pictures don't do it justice! Coronado is wonderful because you literally can walk or bike anywhere on the island. I suggest renting a beach cruiser and bike around the island, you won't be disappointed. The shops on Orange Ave are so cute and entertaining. There are great places to eat. The food is so fresh. It was also fun going to Hotel Del where Marilyn Monroe was filmed and just sitting on the white sand, enjoying the moment. This VRBO is by far my favorite! (I wish I could do more than only 5 stars, for sure!)

Garden cottage oasis

A cozy garden cottage oasis on Fantasy Island, a/k/a Coronado Island--what's not to like! The location is perfect, everything we needed. Love the owners, Susan and Joe, who took care of every need we had in prompt response to any call. We would love to come again. March 2015.

Wonderful in Every Way

The cottage is beautiful and has every convenience that you might need. There's artwork everywhere, and it's set in a lush garden with a trickling fountain outside the front door. There is also a patio area with a grill and fireplace for outdoor dining or just sitting. The interior of the cottage is cozy and attractive, including lots of built-in light fixtures (most of them dimmable, to suit all sorts of moods). There's a very nice wide-screen TV, the WIFI service is excellent, the kitchen is fully equipped, and the washer and dryer are a big plus. The surrounding neighborhood is a quiet and very pleasant place to walk, and it's only about a 15-minute stroll to the downtown area along Orange Avenue, where there are lots of shops and restaurants. On top of all that, the owners - Susan and Joe - are super people.... very friendly and quick to answer your questions or provide any services or support that might be needed, yet respectful of your privacy. Highly recommended!
