Outdoor Retreat with Panoramic Ocean Vistas, Sunrises, and Sunsets.
Imagine waking each morning in a sunlit coastal haven where ocean, sky, and sand meet to calm the spirit and inspire a sense of renewal. Step inside and find yourself wrapped in the gentle glow of a freshly remodeled retreat, every detail thoughtfully chosen to enhance your peace of mind. Elegant marble touches, open living spaces, and panoramic windows invite the beauty of the Pacific and the colors of each sunrise and sunset into your daily rhythm.
Unwind in the sanctuary of a luxurious primary suite, where an adjustable California King bed—with customizable head and foot settings—promises restful nights, and a spa-inspired bathroom indulges with a rain shower and rejuvenating body jets. Down the hall, a cozy second bedroom with twin beds and a trundle welcomes laughter and easy rest for families or friends, while extra air beds stand ready for additional guests. For moments that call for utter relaxation, the second bathroom features a convenient shower/tub combo—perfect for a soothing bath or a refreshing rinse. As the waves whisper beyond your windows, everyone finds their perfect place to recharge, with flat-screen TVs, streaming apps, and high-speed WiFi always at hand.
The kitchen is a welcoming space for both culinary adventures and quick bites, equipped with modern appliances and everything you need to feel at home, while a washer and dryer make it easy to keep things fresh during your stay. Open the doors and let the salt-kissed air sweep through as you step onto your expansive, private patio. Mornings begin with coffee under the umbrella, afternoons invite you to bask in the sunshine or sink into a novel with the ocean as your backdrop, and evenings are reserved for sunset dinners as seabirds glide past and the gentle surf creates a perfect soundtrack for heartfelt conversation. As night falls, two fire pits offer cozy warmth, making it easy to linger outdoors and savor the magic of the coast, even on the chilliest nights.
Beyond your patio, a world of resort-style amenities awaits. With your personal keys, you can dip into the year-round heated pool or soak under the stars in the Jacuzzi. Stay active in the fitness room, share laughter at the BBQ grills, or unwind in inviting lounge areas. The amenities extend your living space, elevating each day with new possibilities for relaxation and connection.
When your feet crave the sand, you’re just steps away—simply stroll from your patio, past the grills, and out onto the wide, welcoming shore. Imperial Beach is yours to explore, whether you delight in quiet off-season mornings or the vibrant energy of summer. Treat yourself to a meal, a drink, or a soothing spa visit next door at the South Pier Resort, always moments away but never intruding on your sense of retreat.
Here, comfort and freedom are woven into every aspect of your stay. You'll have all the privacy you desire, yet peace of mind is close at hand—contact information for both Rochelle and her assistant is posted inside if you need anything at all. After a day of sun and salt, rinse sandy feet and swimwear at the warm-water shower by the elevator—a favorite touch for guests. Every thoughtful detail helps preserve the beauty of our gardens and ensures a relaxing, welcoming environment for all.
*Please note that at times, ocean use may be restricted due to elevated bacteria from nearby river runoff; your comfort and safety always come first. Arrive, settle in, and let this tranquil sanctuary by the sea take care of the rest—your only task is to relax, recharge, and experience the Zen of true coastal living.

Amazing experience. The host went above and beyond to ensure our tenancy was exceptional and any and all requests were met quickly and efficiently. The amenities available were exquisite and high end. Throughly enjoyed. From the Master bath shower to the power function Master bed and guest bath bedet toilet. The beautiful view and gorgeous sunsets also exceeded our expectations. The local shops are within minutes of walking distance and the atmosphere in town is one of comfort and relaxation among all the locals we came in contact with. The only issue we had was the last few days there were tenants above us with small children that were running back and forth for hours non stop. This was obviously out of anyone’s control, but once mentioned to the host, they made every effort to try and correct it by contacting the owner of the unit above. The pool was great, and the hot tub in the pool yard was awesome. There is a basketball court right outside the facility along with a small workout station for additional recreation. There were gas grills in the courtyard that we did not utilize, but assuming they’re operational, I would’ve liked to cook on them had we stayed longer. Everything within the unit worked, kitchen appliances, washer / dryer, TVs, etc. The private covered community garage was secure and there is an elevator and shopping carts for transporting groceries/luggage/etc. I would definitely recommend this unit and its host, and I would absolutely stay here again.

Not for us
The property description and pictures are pretty accurate. Our biggest concern was the homeless people with obvious mental or substance abuse issues outside the patio area, and the nightly fights outside the patio area. For us personally, this was enough of a safety issue to render the patio useless. Additionally, the patio windows didn’t lock so knowing there were numerous unhoused people right outside, with windows that didn’t lock, increased our sense of unease. This just wasn’t the relaxing getaway we usually experience, but this may be perfectly fine for others or possibly a different experience during peak season with more visitors in the area.

Beautiful beach condo
This unit is exactly as advertised! Beautiful patio directly overlooking the beach and Imperial Beach Pier. Patio gets sun from morning straight through until sundown. Well appointed unit with large TV screen and comfortable living room seating, well-stocked kitchen, and dedicated indoor parking spots. Lots of food options in walking distance. Easy access to Coronado and to points north via I-5. Highly recommend Brigatine for dinner (great food, drinks and service) and Babycakes for the best cupcakes ever! Would definitely stay here again!

IB Club 103
103 was very well appointed. We definitely appreciated the updated interior that has been competed on this condo. Large deck overlooking the park was awesome. Not all adults had to be at the park to keep an eye on the kids since we were so close. Kids loved waving to those watching from the deck too! Deck is raised so little risk of strangers wandering in or around. Propane fire pit is a nice feature as we were there in late April and nights were still chilly. Master was very comfortable. Kids were content in 2nd bedroom. Plenty of room in kitchen and dining area and very comfortable great room furniture! 103 is on our short list of places to consider on our next visit.

Amazing Getaway!
This property was perfect for a relaxing getaway. Rochelle, the owner, met us at check-in to show us how to access the property and gave us a tour of the condo. The condo was in an older condo complex in Imperial Beach but this unit is definitely one of the nicest in the place. We ended up using the porch (with an amazing ocean and pier view) every morning, afternoon and evening. The fire pit was a nice bonus. While the weather wasn't the best during our stay (not very warm or sunny) it was still muggy, so it was nice to have A/C. The bed was probably one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in away from home. Other pros: 2 free parking spaces (in secure, underground garage), beach chairs, toys and towels provided, Netflix, great restaurants, shops and the pier within walking distance, and easy, private access to the beach. Cons: the outdoor jacuzzi/hot tub wasn't working while we were there, the pool area was pretty run down with only 2 lounge chairs available (but the weather wasn't nice enough for us to use it anyway), also the amenities listed a weight room but we couldn't find it anywhere in the complex. Overall, we had a great, comfortable stay and I'd recommend this condo to anyone looking to visit Imperial Beach, San Diego.

Great condo steps from the beach
This condo is as-advertised, a wonderful spot to enjoy a little old-school meets new-school San Diego beach scene. Walk to the beach in a few steps, walk to the pier only a hundred yards. The master suite is really nice, with a huge bed, nice shower, and dual sinks. The second bedroom has 2 beds, but they were a little small for my son (he's 6'3" though, so normal humans should be fine I suppose). Great parking that was easy to get in and out of. All around we were very happy we picked this place to stay.

Beautiful Beach Stay
My husband and our 18 year old son and I stayed here for a week in June. The condo is clean, and everything was in working order. The beds were comfortable to sleep on. There were room darkening window coverings for sleeping in. The view of the beach is incredible. The beach is right outside the complex. There were plenty of beach toys and towels available. The beach itself is clean and family friendly. We had plenty of space to ourselves here, but nearby lifeguards are reassuring. There were so many shops and restaurants within walking distance. There is even a grocery store within walking distance. There is also a beautiful nature preserve down Seacoast Drive. The town feels safe and friendly. We did not rent a car during our stay, just used Uber, which usually came within 10 minutes of our request. We did day trips to LaJolla, Coronado, Balboa Park, the zoo and a Padres game. The condo building is very secure with locked garage and access to the grounds only accessible by use of a key. We did not use the pool or hot tub while there. We spent a few evenings and mornings on the most amazing patio, which has both sunny and shady spots depending on what you prefer. This was an amazing family vacation spot.

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing time. Rochelle was easy to communicate with about anything that came up. The beach and waves are some of the best in San Diego, and my son greatly enjoyed the surf. If you planning on being in the water, pay attention to the safety notifications. They can change daily.

Beautiful home and beautiful view!
We loved sitting on the patio people watching and the access was ideal for exploring IB on foot. The apartment is very spacious and had everything we needed. The kitchen is well-stocked compared to many VRBOs - there are a few spices and things to help you get by, lots of dishes and pans, and a couple of decent knives.
Rochelle was very accommodating and made sure everything was the way we wanted. She checked with us once we got there to make sure there were no problems. The complex is very quiet and secure. We intend to return!

Perfect location for kids!
We just spent a week at this condo with our four kids and it's fantastic. The proximity to the beach and playground cannot be matched. It was immaculate upon arrival with most everything you could want for the beach. The commute to the local attractions is very reasonable, anywhere between 20 mins and 45 mins. The property manager was efficient and very responsive to any questions and requests. Would love to stay here again.
