119 Elm Ave · San Diego Beachfront House 60s to sand, surf, pier

Summary:
Look no further, if you are looking to enjoy a San Diego beachfront experience that will keep you coming back year over year, at a price that won't break the bank.

Our house is located directly across from the historic Imperial Beach Pier (less than 100 feet to a sandy beach that goes on for miles), one of only three public piers in all of San Diego county. Its three stories tall, and has 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a 2 car garage.

The Space:
The garage is on the ground level (obviously), and is stocked with all sorts of awesome beach toys so you don't have to bring your own, including wavestorm surfboards, boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, and even a cooler so you can go relax on the beach and not have to worry about transporting your own toys, just enjoying your vacation, yet still have space to park your car in a secure garage less than 50 feet from the pier. Fast EV car charging with brand new Tesla charger gets you up to 42/miles per hour.

This house is all about location. Not only is it in a perfect spot to walk to breakfast, lunch, dinner, and get some drinks and tacos at Mike Hess Brewery, but 10 minutes by car (15-20 min by bike) to the famous Hotel Del Coronado, and less than 20 miles from, the San Diego Airport, Seaport Village, Little Italy, the Gaslamp, Petco Park, the San Diego Convention Center (home of ComicCon), and our world famous Zoo.

We've tried super hard to not only pick the best location but furnish the house in a manner that suits it's awesome location, with hybrid memory foam mattresses, upgraded GE Monogram appliances in the kitchen, LG 4K SMART HD LED TV's w/all apps installed. (65") living room, (55") master bedroom, (55") bedroom 1, (55") bedroom 2, a custom couch in the living room, a BBQ on the patio, blazing fast Gigablast internet up to 1 Gbps download speeds, high end toiletries, non-scarring toilet paper ;), and even keyless entry to the house, so you don't have to worry about losing the key in the sand, when you are taking your afternoon nap in the sun.

The Neighborhood:
The center of downtown Imperial Beach, steps to the pier, restaurants, hotels, surf shops, and award winning Coronado & Hess Brewing.

Getting Around:
There is parking in the garage, and plentiful street parking. A car isn't necessary, due to the proximity to downtown Uber is affordable, and most of your other needs are in under a 5 minute walk from the house.

Other Things to Note:
The house is also as kid friendly as possible, with two adult rooms with a King and Queen, and in the third room, double sized bunk beds (with pull out twin), allowing 5 kids to sleep in one room, perfect if you want to bring two families together for a great beachfront vacation. The bunk beds will support adults as well (top bunk 300 pound limit), so if you have a bunch of buddies looking for a surf weekend, we can make sure you have a great time too. Additional queen sized air mattresses are available in the middle bedroom's closet, to provide even additional sleeping if you have a large party, space to set them up is limited.There is also a full size futon in the foyer.

There is a playground located a couple blocks away at Reama Park, which is located at the corner of Elder Ave. & Second St.

Please check with local lifeguards about ocean water conditions. The beach is always open but there have been some recent water quality issues which is currently being worked on.

Experience was Amazing!!

This was our first time to IB. The location was fantastic. Close to shops, restaurants, and the BEACH! The garage being stocked with beach items was an absolute plus! Our host graciously provided restaurant recommendations- and YES, Tacos El Gordo is an absolute must. All in all it was a great experience and look forward to more adventures in the area.

Fair

The house was great. Communication with prooerty management was good. However the neighborhood is really tight. Parking is tight! The neighbors were extremely loud all hours of the night which made it impossible to get sleep. I wanted the house because it was close to the beach as thay was our plans for the weekend. The beach however was closed due to pollution in the waters and had been for over a year. So do your research before you go to see if the beach is even open before you decide to stay. We had to drive to a beach 40 mins away which defeated the whole purpose of getting this house! Again the house was perfect along with communication! It was clean! Driveway and parking is tight though. If you have small cars or small suvs it would be ok. Definitely not for bigger vehichles!

Amazing!!!

We had the best time! There was delicious food walking distance to the house, our favorites being Brigantine and Mike Hess Brewing for tacos!!! The house was perfect for our family of 6 (4 adults and 2 kids). I would highly recommend staying here. There's delicious ice cream across the street from the house. We had a great view of the beach from the house.

Imperial Beach stay

This property has a beautiful interior including floors, kitchen, and bathrooms. The home is very well outfitted including towels, beach gear and kitchen utensils and appliances which made it a great place to stay with our family. Beds were comfortable. I’d love to see an upgraded shower head in the master bath, but that’s really the only suggestion I have for the owners. Lots of steps so if you have older people with you, just keep that in mind. Otherwise we would definitely stay here again. Very convenient to restaurants, coffee shops, beach and a short drive to Coronado.

Happy Holidays

We met with my son and his family for the holidays before he ships out. We had a fabulous time. We have stayed in Imperial beach before. The location of his condo is great. Right across the street from the beach and pier. The pier is opened back up all the way to the end once again. The Christmas decorations were lit every night and looked great. Can't wait to go back. If you stay here or at another location in the area please check the local church on your way home. They will take anything that is left over from your stay. Food, etc.

Gem across from the beach

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home across the street from the beach and IB pier. The boys loved the bunk beds and the bed in the master bedroom was so comfortable. Having the garage was a bonus since parking around the beach can sometimes be hard to find. There are a lot of places to eat within walking distance. Whether you want to go surfing, walk on the beach, or just relax on the balcony watching the sunset, there is plenty to do and enjoy here.

Wonderful Spring Break

The home was super clean and close to the beach. It is spacious and provided what we needed to cook our own meals and enjoy the beach. The owners have added great little touches of things you might not think of when traveling like beach towels and toys and board games for those evenings inside. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to othes.
