The host is very communicative/responsive and friendly. It is a very cute little place, charming, in a very quiet neighborhood. There was never an issue with parking. There is a lovely patio area right outside the door to the unit (in a private backyard for the residence). We were there for my brother's wedding on the beach and it was easy to get around to everything (driving) on the island. Most especially - it is dog friendly and we were able to bring our guy with us and take walks in the neighborhood. Very relaxing

No set times and can be concern at mercy of others use. No daily use amenities incl. napkin/TP/kleenex cups so forth. Plan to bring or shop. 12cup coffee maker (no supplies) in room behind door adjoining bathroom Street parking area same or across street but not infront of neighbours property. USB pwr attached to bed frame wifi extender in room and good speed/connectionThe Street Almeda has easy access and bike lane. Little busier than some side streets but only Minimal.

Plan ahead leave outside light on or have your phone flashlight handy.

Beautiful beach stay!

This VRBO was perfect and came exactly as listed. So much natural sunlight, comfy bed, and great location. We were able to walk to the beach as well as restaurants/shops. We did notice a trail of ants coming in from outside, and I do wish there was a space for dirty dishes/ a place to wash dishes. Other than those minor issues we were very happy! Would book again:)

Amazing location, great host, perfect California style property

I loved my stay at this lovely studio. The character of the home was perfect California style. I loved the shared courtyard and having the ability to do laundry occasionally. It was within walking distance to everything i needed including walks along the ocean front. Very safe neighborhood near the Navy base, beach, restaurants, movie theater and more. The bike was a bonus. The owner was always very responsive to my questions and requests.

Coronado Studio

Beautiful studio with garden patio area within walking distance of downtown and the beach. Loved the natural light and comfortable room. Older bathroom but had everything we needed. Kitchenette does not have a table for two, just a fridge, toaster and microwave, but there is seating for 6 in the backyard.

Great stay!

The apartment was very nice and cozy. George and Signe were great and very welcoming. The only downside is that the kitchenette is very small and if you are going to cook you have to use the BBQ that is provided. Dishes have to be done in the bathroom sink which is also a bit challenging. I had a great stay though, the apartment is comfortable and the courtyard right outside the private entrance is beautiful. I would definitely come back again!

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar 2020
So glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Thank you for leaving everything in great shape and we hope you'll stay with us again. It was a great pleasure being your host and we really enjoyed getting to know you and your husband. The kitchenette's microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker, plus the available gas burner & grill hopefully helped with cooking, as well as the sink ,equipped for handling dishes. Hope you got to try some of Coronado's many restaurants and broad price ranges, though. Sorry we couldn't continue the discount we gave you, but there will be other times that a discount is offered in the future.

I'm a long time Coronado resident and retired aerospace engineer/spec home builder. I love beautiful architecture and the island life, so I'm quite at home here in Coronado.

Why they chose this property

Take a lovely walk by the nearby famous Del Coronado Hotel or partake of Coronado Village.

What makes this property unique

Central location with easy access to the beach and bay, courtyard with BBQ, laundry facilities, part of an elegant 1920s spanish home on one of Coronado's most desirable streets.
