Beautiful Beachfront Condo With Fantastic Views - Great Rosarito Alternative!

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. Situated at the southerly end of the beach boardwalk with all of its restaurants, bars, shops, coffee houses, etc. Two bedroom, two bathroom, remodeled, and fully furnished condo on the beachfront in beautiful Playas de Tijuana, Mexico. Just 10 minutes from the San Ysidro U.S. border and 15 minutes to downtown Rosarito and the world famous Papas and Beer. Located on the top (5th) floor of condo building, it offers panoramic views of the ocean, mountains and town nearby. Custom made marble dining room table and living room coffee table and brand new leather couch and love seat. Tastefully appointed artwork. Free Wi-Fi. Fully furnished kitchen (dishes, utensils, and pots and pans) with gas stove oven, microwave, refrigerator, as well as, a trash compactor, and coffee maker. Tankless water heater for multiple hot water showers. Small balcony with 180 degree views from the ocean to the city. Playground, tables and barbecue on-site in the common area all overlooking the ocean. Ceiling fan/lights in living room and each bedroom. Porcelain tile floors in a wood motif that looks like real hardwood floors. Dining room table seats 4 with wood and leather covered chairs. Just steps away to the sand and ocean. Beautiful sunsets, ocean, San Diego, island, and mountain views galore. Three high-definition TVs; one smart TV with built-in Amazon system in the master bedroom; another bedroom with a CD player; and another large screen with stand-alone DVD/VHS and Kodi player in the living room; all TVs receive huge quantity of various digital broadcast channels in many languages. Large movie library with DVD's and VHS tapes for your viewing enjoyment. Kodi box is enabled with wireless remote for your streaming pleasure. If you don't know how to use Kodi, simply enjoy the video library and digital broadcast tv. Ample closets and dresser storage. Alarm clock radios in each bedroom. Ice chest, and two beach chairs are available for your use. Street parking for multiple vehicles and on-site parking for one vehicle. Steps to the beach and adjacent to Playas boardwalk, which makes for a beautiful walk to catch the sunset. There are lots of eateries, coffee houses, and street vendors offering food and crafts. Also located in Playas is a Walmart, as well as a Cineopolis Multi Movie Theater. Playas is a greater option than Rosarito Beach due to its close proximity to the border, boardwalk, walkability, no toll roads, near downtown Tijuana and yet very close to Rosarito Beach, Popotla, wineries, Ensenada, etc. Downtown Tijuana has a lovely cultural arts center with a botanical gardens. A casino is located a few blocks away from the property. Casinos and racing events are also in downtown Tijuana. Depending upon the tide, the beach is sandy and right in front of the complex. If the tide is high, walk about 1/2 block north for a deeper sandy beach with a gentle sloped walkway leading to it. For more privacy, you can walk southerly along the ocean with fewer beach goers for more privacy and better fishing along the shore. The elevator is permanently out-of-order making the unit not accessible for disabled persons or others unable to climb stairs.

Being close to the border makes this ideal for day trips to San Diego, Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Legoland, Disneyland, etc. Save hundreds of dollars per night when comparing it to U.S. beachfront vacation housing costs.

Have fun on your vacation!

OXXO has a large inventory of food, drinks, and most other things you may need.

Bookings must be paid by site registered person requesting the reservation due to prevalent fraudulent credit card activity.

There is no heating or air conditioning system as is typical in Mexico. Heating is done the old fashioned way with blankets and snuggling at night. Cooling is via the ocean breezes and ceiling fans on rare hot days. No candles because they are a fire hazard and spilled melted wax causes damages.

Don’t sit on coffee table or put anything heavy on it otherwise it will crack and break.

No smoking. Go to the beach and enjoy a smoke there, smoke on the balcony, walk to the boardwalk, or enjoy a smoke in the community grounds overlooking the ocean.

Pets are allowed under certain circumstances. They must be housebroken, potty trained and are not allowed on any furniture whatsoever. Any pet hair found on furniture will subject you to an extra cleaning fee and damage fee of $100 or more. Also, note that previously unleashed allowed pets were attacked by other unleashed dogs resulting in hospitalization. Also, pets must have immunizations in order to bring your pet back to the U.S.

Don’t place anything on any glass surfaces that may cause them to break.

Don’t lean or sit on dining room table as it is not affixed to the base and may break.

Before sliding the vertical blinds open, first gently open the louvers so that they are completely perpendicular to the window opening. Then gently slide the blind to open. To close the blinds, verify that the louvers are perpendicular to the window, gently close, and then adjust the louvers as desired.

Before pulling the horizontal blinds open, first, gently open the louvers so that they are completely perpendicular to the window opening. Then pull chord to fully extend open. To close the blinds, verify that the louvers are perpendicular to the window, gently pull chord to release locking mechanism and slowly and smoothly lower. Adjust the louvers as desired.

This is a 3rd world country. Sometimes there are problems with government provided electric, water, and sewer. Unfortunately, these are all out of the control by all the recipients of these utility services. As this is not a large 5 star commercial hotel, there are no backup generators or alternative water supplies. No liability will be accepted for any consequential or inconsequential damages whatsoever. There are no refunds as these utility services are the full responsibility of the Mexican government. Should utilities be interrupted, enjoy the quiet time or get out and see Mexico.

Because of fluctuations in government furnished voltage, it may sometimes be necessary to hard boot the internet cable modem to reset it. Do so by unplugging it and re-plugging it back in.

If you are not already an experienced user of the KODI streaming box, please do not use it as settings can be erroneously changed and programs deleted. If you are an experienced user, the fluctuations in voltage may necessitate a hard boot by unplugging and re-plugging in the Android box.

Playas de Tijuana Stay
Breat condo but definitely be prepared for: a) No elevator to 5th floor; b) occasional water service interruptions. Great location for coffee shops and restaurants and the beach. Quiet family residence.

Playas are fun,busy and beautiful.
Our stay was fine. My vehicle was safe in our own assigned semi-secure parking lot. We are fortunate that we are somewhat young and physically able to climb five stories to the condo. And glad that the climb is worth it, the apartment is roomy and clean and the beds were comfortable. Great view and wonderful breezes. I would recommend the condo but make it clear that the condo is on the fifth floor.

I do not recommend and its far from what I expected
This place was far from what I had expected. There were a number of things that made it so uncomfortable and I could not see myself ever recommending anyone spend their money to stay here. Or to expect to have a relaxing/vacation here. Terrible gas smell from water heater that is located in the master bathroom. Bullet/bb holes in glass of the windows in the patio. Damp throughout the inside of condo. May have been cleaned after last guest but was not cleaned prior to our arrival, very dusty. I had to sweep and dust the entire condo. It is cold and drafty. Dog feces in stairwell, a lot of the neighbors in this place have dogs and they seem to let them poop throughout the stairwell.. There were so many flies at the entrance of this place, at all times. I had to spray for flies and would quickly open/close the door so that we would not be infested with flies inside condo. A lot of homeless people that stay outside the OXXO convenient store, and that walk and sleep throughout this neighborhood. Very outdated interior. During our stay there was so much construction next door, banging on the concrete cement walls all day, every day of the week. Nonstop barking dogs from the neighbors in the building. Stained bed sheets in both bedrooms. Slow internet and unreliable. Flickering electricity almost daily. We could feel the metal springs in the mattress. Front door and east side bedroom leaks in when it rains, that happened often throughout our stay. I hope my honest review helps anyone who is considering staying here.

Deanna A.

It was as stated. We truly enjoyed our time as a family, in this rental.
We arrived on Sunday, realized the elevators were not working, and began the five story trek up the stairs. We got to our condo, and found that we were given the wrong pin code. We immediately searched out to Maya, and I emailed David. Mays came right up and helped us gain entry, thankfully, my husband speaks fluent Spanish. David texted me back as well. The condo was clean and equipped with everything for our week long stay. The view from the balcony was remarkable even when the weather was less than desireable, it rained a lot while we were there for spring break. The condo was conveniently located near to restaurants, coffee shops, convenient store, laundry facilities, the movie theatre, and of course the beach. We really didn’t have to drive, but we did, to get anywhere. We truly enjoyed our time together in this wonderful beach condo. Thank you to David and Maya for allowing our family the ability, to share a memorable and quality family time, in their beautiful beach condo. We would recommend this condo to others. The only downside, was the initial entry debacle. The jostling for a parking space, but if you walk everywhere, which you can, it wouldn’t be so bad. Also five flights of stairs is not recommended for an older person, or a person with bad knees. The view however is completely worth the workout. Thank you again. We will be back, in the summer.

Apartment was clean and just a short walk to the beach.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this relaxing beachfront condo. Although the apartment was older it was very clean and well taken care of. Even though the apartment is on the top floor, we did not at all mind the climb since it is so close to the beach, shopping and restaurants. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Mexico. I would recommend this condo to families or couples wanting to visit.

Why they chose this property

This property is one of the very few available rentals on the beachfront. You won't find a better deal along the ocean with this exceptional view amenity. The boardwalk begins from the sidewalk at the property.

What makes this property unique

You cannot beat the views or proximity to the beach at this price. Proximity to Rosarito Beach makes this an excellent alternative choice. Note that most Roasarito Beach advertised rentals are nowhere close to downtown Rosarito, Rosarito Beach proper, or Papas and Beer. With this rental, you will get the convenience of being close to the border for adventures to San Diego, Sea World, Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, San Diego Zoo, Legoland, etc. No expensive toll roads necessary unless you care to go further south to Papotle, Rosarito, Ensenada, winery, La Buffadora, etc.
