Notes from the host
Spacious Family Friendly Home Near Beach
Our house features high speed internet coverage throughout - indoors and out - making it an ideal year-round option for families to meet their remote working and distance learning requirements in a great vacation setting.
We thoroughly sanitize, deep clean and air-out the house between guests to maximize safety and peace of mind.
There is no finer place than Coronado - with its Mediterranean climate - to experience the best that coastal Southern California living has to offer. Our spacious, well-furnished home is well equipped for families with children of all ages, from infants on up. The beach is in easy walking distance - 2-½ blocks away - and our large heated pool and spa provide a comfortable alternative for just hanging around or taking a break from San Diego’s many tourist attractions.
Enjoy indoor-outdoor living with French doors leading from our modern kitchen to our poolside patio, from our living room to our outside dining patio, and from our Master and adjoining bedroom to our second story deck.
A child-proof fence encloses our swimming pool and its attached spa providing parents with security and peace of mind. This house is a good choice for large or small families, and multi-generational families. Because of its ample size and layout, families can have as much togetherness as they want, with the opportunity to find a quiet place.
The renter’s experience is enhanced by the spacious nature of the interior and exterior, and the comfort and quality of the furnishings. This is not a vacation home - it is our home that my wife and I make available to families that would like to enjoy the Coronado vacation experience from a home rather than a hotel.
This well-maintained house has four bedrooms, two and one-half bathrooms, and will comfortably accommodate eight guests. Originally built prior to World War I, we have chosen to respect its historical charm and character while updating it with modern amenities. The house fronts on a wide street and is set away from the neighbors on either side, providing privacy while allowing an open feeling. The large rooms and yard provide great versatility: our home is equally suitable for families with infants, young children, or older children, or for adults without children. In all cases guests will have as much togetherness or enjoy as much privacy as they want due to the spaciousness and layout of the interior and exterior. The living room has a 52' Samsung flat screen HDTV.
HOUSE DESCRIPTION - The house, while furnished with nice pieces, is also child friendly – our four children were raised here and our grandchildren are frequent visitors. Decorations include art, antiques and collections from around the Pacific Rim and Latin America, many of which we acquired on our travels. The living, dining and sleeping areas are set off by hardwood floors, accented by oriental rugs.
The remodeled kitchen features an open layout with granite countertops, a counter eating area which seats four, and French doors which access the outside patio and swimming pool.
POOL AND SIDE PATIO - The brick poolside patio has a glass-top table which seats 6 to 8, and a gas fire-pit around which 8 can comfortably gather. Two chaise lounges provide a good space to relax or read. For outdoor grilling, we have a large, 5-burner stainless steel gas barbecue, and a bar-countertop for preparing and serving food and beverages. The heated swimming pool and attached spa are enclosed behind a child-proof fence.
LIVING AREAS AND BACK PATIO - The large living room has two large sofas, a rocker and a wing back chair, from which to watch the 52' HDTV with DVR, premium movie channels, Netflix and DVD player, or enjoy the fireplace. Two sets of French doors access a lovely sunroom which houses a playroom which is a magnet for the younger ones. A large toy cabinet along one wall is filled with toys, a comfortable carpet and a small table with four child-sized chairs provides a great play area, and a rattan sofa gives adults a comfortable place from which to watch. The house is wired for Wi-Fi broadband internet.
French doors at the back of the living room open to a covered patio with a large Colonial-style wood table from South America, which seats ten. An additional, shaded, outside table which seats four. A café table with two swivel arm chair/rockers with ottoman provide for a pleasant place to read or have a cup of coffee in or out of the sun. A patio umbrella provided shade if required.
UPSTAIRS - The upstairs is accessed by a wide staircase with oak steps. Each of the four large bedrooms is furnished in a unique and appealing style. All four bedrooms have in-room air-conditioning units. The Master Bedroom is furnished with a beautiful dark oak Henredon campaign-style bedroom set with King Size bed. It has a 42" flat screen TV with digital cable and DVR. It opens through French doors to a large outside terrace with potted plants and Bistro table and chairs. The en-suite bathroom has been remodeled and features a granite counter-top and a large step in shower with overhead and wall-mounted shower heads.
The adjoining bedroom has a Queen sized bed, desk, and an easy chair with ottoman. It also opens onto the outside deck.
There are two bedrooms across the hall, each of which face onto the swimming pool. The front bedroom contains a comfortable Ethan Allen swivel rocker with ottoman,and can be set up with either a king or two twin size beds. The rear bedroom has two twin beds.
