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

George the host very responsive to address questions or unfortunate concerns. He’s a 5The home as described quaint aged home, which does have its creeks and sounds from adjoining home. The shower enclosure needs repair soon. Very notable crack and drop w slope. Water is Shared with main home and hot can be intermittent. New Washer/Dryer but SHARED. 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. Suggest they update their ad photos. Some furnishings have been substituted If staying in this room. Don’t plan to eat in unless bag type lunch or fruit breakfast. Felt Safe and secure. Plan ahead leave outside light on or have your phone flashlight handy.

The good: Excellent location, great yard, beautiful old Spanish style homeThe cons: It's on the ST and loud and the unit is connected to the house and because the house is old you hear movement (very loud creaking boards) and even conversation.

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:)

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.
