The good: Excellent location, great yard, beautiful old Spanish style homeThe cons: It's on the ST and loud and the unit is connected to the house and because the house is old you hear movement (very loud creaking boards) and even conversation.

Beautiful beach stay!

This VRBO was perfect and came exactly as listed. So much natural sunlight, comfy bed, and great location. We were able to walk to the beach as well as restaurants/shops. We did notice a trail of ants coming in from outside, and I do wish there was a space for dirty dishes/ a place to wash dishes. Other than those minor issues we were very happy! Would book again:)

Amazing location, great host, perfect California style property

I loved my stay at this lovely studio. The character of the home was perfect California style. I loved the shared courtyard and having the ability to do laundry occasionally. It was within walking distance to everything i needed including walks along the ocean front. Very safe neighborhood near the Navy base, beach, restaurants, movie theater and more. The bike was a bonus. The owner was always very responsive to my questions and requests.

Coronado Studio

Beautiful studio with garden patio area within walking distance of downtown and the beach. Loved the natural light and comfortable room. Older bathroom but had everything we needed. Kitchenette does not have a table for two, just a fridge, toaster and microwave, but there is seating for 6 in the backyard.

Great stay!

The apartment was very nice and cozy. George and Signe were great and very welcoming. The only downside is that the kitchenette is very small and if you are going to cook you have to use the BBQ that is provided. Dishes have to be done in the bathroom sink which is also a bit challenging. I had a great stay though, the apartment is comfortable and the courtyard right outside the private entrance is beautiful. I would definitely come back again!

Coronado February

My stay in the garden room at George’s home was great . The location is perfect and Coronado a safe place with ideal weather, a beautiful beach, and the awesome Hotel Del Coronado. The space is one room and a bathroom with a shower . There’s a microwave and a mini fridge, so no cooking per se ,although I made oatmeal and there are so many little restaurants and also a great little grocery (Bayside)that has healthy deli food . The Patio area outside the French doors is lovely, and there are a couple of bikes to use. The only slight drawback is that since you are part of the main house, you can hear noise as you would in a duplex ,like the stairs .Of course it’s also near the Naval base ,so there are jets and helicopters- but that’s all of the island and much of San Diego.The room is quite private though and the other VRBO renters all friendly.George is just a great guy , so kind and he wants to make sure you have a nice stay . He is there whenever you need anything at all .Best person I’ve rented from in many different locations !

George was very friendly and helpful. The property was in a great location and pictures were very accurate. The studio had a lot of charm. Some reviews complained of the construction going on in the yard, but it wasn't a constant presence.

About the host
