Monthly rentals ONLY.

AVAILABILITY: No available dates in 2009. Available months for 2010 are April, May, June, August, September and December. Please click Availability below or see the dates on the Calendar.

Our two-bedroom/two-bath condominium is a corner unit condo in the Coronado Shores Resort on Coronado Beach, just south of the Hotel Del Coronado.  Coronado Island is connected to San Diego by the Coronado Bridge, nine miles from the San Diego Airport. We are university professors who rent out our condo for most of the year while we teach in Texas.

Our unit is located in the El Camino building. The El Camino building entranceway and hallways were renovated in 2009 with all new, beautiful floor tiles, carpet, wall coverings and decorations. Our unit offers floor-to-ceiling glass windows with views of Coronado Beach/Pacific Ocean and of the San Diego Skyline/Bay/Bridge/Mountains. Two of the photos on this website, of San Diego Bay and Coronado Beach, were taken from the balcony of our condo.

Our condo was upgraded and completely decorated by Coronado's best known interior decorator Michele Iacuzzo (google "Interiors by Michele"). The kitchen is fully equipped, and includes a disposal and new dishwasher. The glass-topped circular dining room table and chairs seat six. There are two bathrooms, one with a walk-in shower and one with a bathtub/shower.

There are two bedrooms. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and
large walk-in closet. The bedroom has a brand-new California king bed with a Sleep Therapy Aloe Vera pillow-top mattress, and two comfortable reading chairs. The second bedroom has a king bed that is convertible to twin beds with Sleep Therapy pillow mattresses. The living room sofa converts to a queen-sized hideabed.

There are three flat-screen, high-definition LCD TVs in the condo: 37" (living room), 32" (master bedroom) and 22" (second bedroom). DVD players are attached to all three flat-screen TVs. DISH satellite TV (including Sirius Radio) is available on all three TVs. The living room TV has a brand-new top-of-the-line DISH VIP722 Digital Video Recorder (DVR), so you can record over 300 hours of TV programs, and a monthly subscription to all the DISH high definition TV stations (over 70 stations).

Our unit is completely stocked with dishes, bedding, towels, beach towels, hairdryers, binoculars, maps, games, DVDs, books, San Diego guidebooks, etc. Our condo also has high-speed SBC/Yahoo DSL wireless Internet. Free VOIP local and long distance telephone service throughout the United States and Canada is also included.

We are told regularly that our unit is one of the choicest condo rentals because our unit was decorated by Michele Iacuzzo, our beach access is exceptionally easy, and our bay/beach views are among the best at the Shores. We also have flat screen high-definition TVs, the newest DISH DVR and high-definition and HBO TV channels, and fast wireless internet access. There are no other condo buildings close to us so we do not have people looking directly in at
our condo. Lastly, we are not full-time landlords doing this for the rental income. We are university professors renting our condo while we teach in Texas. We are selective, looking for renters who will treat our condo as gently as their own home.

There are ten high-rise buildings in the Coronado Shores complex, each with doormen and video security. The complex includes eight tennis courts and four swimming pools/Jacuzzi. Gas barbecues and picnic tables are available for picnics by the sea. The clubhouse has pool tables, big screen TV and a bar, with an outdoor veranda on the beach, and a table tennis and recreation area where regular events (e.g. dances, card games) occur. A pavilion is available for private parties and special events (e.g. wedding receptions). A fully equipped, staffed fitness center has nautilus, weight lifting equipment and sauna/Jacuzzi. All facilities are available at no charge to tenants and their guests.

Please google our website "VoxProf" (Voice of the Professor) for more information. Previous renters' comments on our condo are also posted along with photo galleries not only of our condo (interior and exterior views), but also of the Shores complex and Coronado.

Permissions:
* No Pets and No Smoking (with no exceptions; we have allergies to both so do not allow them in our condo).
* Our condo is not child-proofed and not suitable for young children due to the extensive glass, electronics, white linens, etc.
* Maximum number of renters in our condo at any one time is limited to four persons.

Outdoor gas barbecues and picnic tables are located in each pool complex.

needing wheelchair access.

Coronado is a village on a peninsula off the coast of San Diego, California. Coronado Beach was recently voted the number two beach in America and the number one family beach by the Travel Channel. The Coronado Shores Condominiums are situated on a strip of land, bordered on one side by the Pacific Ocean and on the other by San Diego Bay and Glorietta Bay.

Local activities in Coronado include world-class golf, bicycling, bird watching, boogie boarding, concerts in the park, fishing, hiking, library, local theater, parks, restaurants, sandy beaches with lifeguards, sailing, surfing, swimming, tennis and windsurfing. There are dozens and dozens of restaurants to choose from in Coronado alone, ranging from family restaurants to world-class gourmet dining at our personal favorite, Chez Loma. If you golf, Coronado has a beautiful 18-hole championship golf course. If you sail, the Glorietta Bay Marina is right next door. If you bike, there are bike trails all around the island. A 20-mile round-trip Rails-to-Trails bike path starts across from our condo. On Sundays in the summer, there are free concerts in the park. The local public library is excellent, with books, movies and internet access. Next door to the Shores complex, there is a new (summer 2007) municipal recreation center with basketball courts and outdoor swimming pool; a skate park is available in Tidelands Park. There is even winter ice skating at the Hotel Del Coronado from Thanksgiving through the New Year! And, of course, there is the Coronado Beach, with miles and miles of white sand, with Imperial Beach further down the Strand.

If you decide to leave the island and take the bridge over to San Diego, major Attractions in San Diego include Balboa Park, Scripps Birch Aquarium, Gaslamp Quarter, Legoland, Old Town San Diego, San Diego Museums, San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, the Wild Animal Park. A day in San Diego might include visiting the pandas at the Zoo, enjoying Mexican food in Old Town, seeing a first-run play at the Old Globe Theater, and then ending up in the Gaslamp Area for the nightlife.
Wonderful restaurants are everywhere, specializing in fresh fish, Mexican delicacies and new American cuisine. An easy drive can take you north to Disneyland, east to the mountains and desert, or south to Tijuana, Mexico.
