Gorgeous Beachfront Retreat in sleepy beach community

I had to check-in / reserve the place twice, due to manager not knowing the process. The only access to the place is via the garage car door. Can't access front door because the code to gate doesn't work. Also had to pay full amount upfront. Past experience s pay partial at booking and rest later. The place was not clean. Whole place needs a cleaning and painting and remodeling. Bedsheets needed washing due to hairs on the bed. No checkout instructions. Told to wash the towels before leaving. There is more but.....

The property manager was a delightful human! The house was very dirty and needs some maintenance. It did have everything we needed to cook which was important as we had to feed 8 people. It was great that everyone had their own bathrooms too. Overall it was great except the cleanliness. There were no cleaning supplies for us to clean the floor, but even the walls had stains on them. Because it is right on the ocean the humidity makes the metal rust and all the metal in the house was rusty like the light switches and vent covers etc. It is not recommended to drink the water from the faucets so you need to get your own water, a good water filter would go a long way in this house. Also coming from the midwest we did not know that Imperial Beach is contaminated and swimming is prohibited. That information would have made an impact on our decision. Imperial beach is a great little town with plenty of food options. We enjoyed the sea breeze and the sound of the waves, just too bad we couldn't enjoy the water.

Lee's place is wonderful. Imperial Beach is a small, local spot with everything you need, including this place. Many thanks,

This property was perfect for our 4 day weekend family reunion. We were 3 families of 9 people looking for a place by the beach to get together, catch up, and relax and that was also large enough that we didn't feel like we were on top of each other. This property fit the bill perfectly. The house was clean, spacious, and had all the amenities we needed for our stay. The house layout was great, with the downstairs and front patio perfect spots to get together and look out over the beach. The rooftop patio was a great place to relax and watch sunsets over the ocean. The bedrooms were quiet and comfortable. The location in Imperial Beach was convenient. Several restaurants and bars were within easy walking distance, with grocery and drug stores a 5 minute drive away. Parking was not an issue with plenty of room in the garage for 2 mid size SUVs. Even though it was a July weekend at the beach, the area did not feel overcrowded and was not overrun with tourist shops and beachgoers you would normally expect in the summer. The owner Le, was very easy to work with. She responded promptly to all my questions prior to and after booking. During our stay, she checked in with me daily to ensure things were going well and to address any problems. When it was time to checkout, she stopped by personally to ask us about our stay and was genuinely interested in our feedback on what she could do to improve our experience while there. I would definitely stay there again!

Right on the beach. Owner very helpful

great place plenty of walking distance food and a couple of shops. quiet beach.

Overall my family enjoyed this property. Imperial beach area was walking distance for everything.

16 people 4 extended families and a sister in law! What could go wrong!?!? Nothing here!!! Great location in IB. Right on the beach, 6 to 7 excellent restaurants in walking distance. Small corner store for misc items you may need. Grocery a short 5 minute drive. Perfect weather, nice beach, everyone had a great time. This is our 3rd year in a row and plan to be back next year! Thank you Le!

This is a lovely home and it was exactly what we needed for our large family! Unfortunately the washer and dryer were not functioning when we were there and there was a slight plumbing issue; however the host Le addressed and resolved all concerns. 430 check in with a 30-45 minute walk through is a struggle when the group is anxious to settle in, but we survived and it was worth it!

We had a great stay with our pretty big family group (12). The location can't be beat and Le was very responsive when we had an issue. Thank you Le!
