The condo was asthe pictures showed and even more spacious than I imagined. The kitchen was well equipped, newly rennovated, appliances in good shape, and the deck had a nice table for 6. Everything was great except 2 things.... it IS SoCal near TJ, so.... the odor of weed is frequent and the ocean water is "contaminated". If you don't care to go into the water ok, otherwise, you'll have to see which beaches north of Imperial are considered safe. We drove to Coronado Beach, which was lovely, but we always choose a waterfront property for the view and for the purpose of conveniently getting INTO the water. The day we arrived, we wandered out to the sand and immediately noticed a sign warning against swimming bc it "could cause serious illness". We traveled 3k miles..why weren't we informed?!?! ..nothing to be done about it, so we headed north for time in the water. After being there over a day I got a call from a property manager saying something about the dryer being broken as if we'd already spoken about it. We had not. She wanted to have a new one delivered the next morning....fine. No problem at all. The next morning she's there with some maintenance guys, so I hought I'd ask about the water and why were weren't informed? She went off on a tangent about politics and how people go in the water all the time...inferring the closure was not necessary and Coronado was open bc of some political preferential treatment, different ways to test the water, etc. What? I asked why the property manager did not inform us? When I asked again... she then rambled on about how the water is/isnt 'safe' and couldn't be planned for. This is NOT what the lifeguards nor a nearby shop owner told us. The shop owner who was in his 60s said it's been like that his whole life. Then she got rude....and one of the maintenance guys COMPLETELY lied saying I complained about their presence. I said no such thing. If the company had simply told us about the water, I'd have thanked them for the info and planned accordingly. The rude snotty excuses from the property manager is the one and only reason I will not return to this property. And btw... the name of the owner is NOT the same people you'll interact with. The owner hires a group that is not listed on VRBO.
