About this condo rental
Nestled in Imperial Beach, this charming condo for $367 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. ππππππππππππππDue to the ongoing issues with Mexico's water treatment pumps, the ocean is not guaranteed to be open at this time.. They do test the bacteria levels daily, but the majority of the year the Ocean has been closed from the Border, past Imperial Beach up to Coronado Beach. If swimming in the ocean is a major priority you need to consider this. You can still walk on the beach. Here is a site that shows the closures. The red dots indicates closures. The yellow dots indicates a warning but not a closure: http://www.sdbeachinfo.com/*** Please be aware that the property owner has no control over the weather or governmental inaction to resolve this ongoing issue.

Wonderful experience for Thanksgiving. Everything you could possibly need to cook, serve, and enjoy a holiday or any day meal. Then relax on the deck in the sun facing the crashing surf. Finish with cool outside breezes or cozy coverlets on great beds. Thanks to Nancy & the mermaids.

This was a wonderful stay for our family vacation visit, the condo is located right on the beach with the cutest decor of mermaids and seahorses everywhere. I loved the patio it is rather sizable and basically right on the beach with a good divide between you and the sand which is important for me since I have a little boy. The shed on the patio is filled with lots of sand toys which my son loved so much and took a huge relief off me knowing he had plenty to play with. The patio furniture is high quality and great for lounging on to watch the surf in the morning, my mom and I hung out there while my son played so I'd say it's a very good space. The condo is clean stocked with infinite towels and lots of pillows to build forts with. This property sits right on the sand and it is nice being so close and taking a walk with my little one. Imperial Beach has evolved over the years it's definitely got a family friendly vibe these days. The ocean water has always had issues dating decades back so this is not news to me. For a good swim I highly recommend Crown Cove at Silver Strand State Park (I hold an annual park pass - expensive but worth it!) it is on the bay side of the park and a ten minute walk from the main Silver Strand parking lot but it's a waveless cove great for kids or folks looking to get a swim in. My son is terrified of waves so going to Crown Cove was perfect and only 10 minutes away. Also, the walkability of everything is a gem of this sleepy beach town.

WOW WOW WOW what an amazing experience. My wife, family and friends enjoy everything about the theme and newly remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. We bbq and took tons of pix, and walked on the beach had many meals and drinks with our family and friends and I didnβt want to leave. You know how when someone tells about a great movie or restaurant and that you have to go so they set the bar / expectations so high and you go for your self but you donβt get the same experience and you question why or what made tell you about it or what was the big deal. Weβll let me tell you that Iβm setting the bar high in this Vrbo Rental because itβs going to blow your expectations away. Also Iβm very blessed to travel often Thank God and Iβm a business - service owner myself and Nancy was an absolute sweetheart, sheβs very easy to work with and she knows how to run her business. You know when you do a good job when your own neighbors even speak highly of you. Canβt wait to rent for her again. I hope whom ever is blessed to enjoy this beautiful condo / Nancy will have the same or even better experience as my wife and I did. (Enjoy)

The kids loved the condo and hearing the ocean come in. It was quiet at night and contained books to read, games to play and pots/pans to cook with. The condo was clean and just as described and Nancy is a great communicator and made the whole process streamlined. The only problem we had was out of Nancy's control....the water pollution didn't allow us to play in the water. We had to go north to find a beach that was safe to swim from.

We had an amazing stay. The property and the host were amazing. We loved our stay right on the beach!! Enjoyed the sunset views every evening. The only disappointment was the sea water is not clean in the area. Thereβs notices everywhere about the water being toxic and polluted. Cleaner beaches are at least 15-20 minutes away. Nonetheless the property is everything we wished for and Nancy makes it very easy to checkin and checkout.

The property was amazing, very clean and host was kind and helpful. Only negative was the location and ocean water. Could not go into water due to pollutants, had to travel 30 plus minutes to find clean water and beach.

Our family of five loved this property. We mostly chose it just for the view. However, there is everything you could ever think of needing in this property and the owner is so sweet and her communication is on point. My kids enjoyed the pool as well. We would highly recommend booking this for your stay in San Diego.

Our family of four and friends with a one-year old had a fantastic time! Nancy was very responsive and a great host! The place was just as described, clean, comfortable beds, and more than what you would expect for amenities. Plenty of options for food and drinks nearby. The best part was the patio right on the beach with plenty of seating options!

For a short family vacation with family spanning three generations, this was the perfect place. It was exactly as advertised, and at a location that is both lovely and convenient. The neighborhood was very pleasant, with a good variety of food spots within a short walking distance (the tacos at Mike Hess Brewing, two blocks away, were killer). The owner, Nancy, obviously takes a lot of pride in this place, and it has everything a visitor could need. We would definitely stay there again!

Serenity by the Sea was better than we anticipated! The condo is decorated in a way that we knew we were going to have a special get away. Nancy's attention to detail is amazing and the beds were so comfy. I look forward to coming back with my husband and kids for a relaxing getaway. And the neighborhood is adorable with all sorts of great places within walking distance.

This Condo has the best view of the Ocean, & Pier. The Sunsets are Spectacular!! This is by far the Best Stocked place ever!! The beds are comfy, itβs so clean, & everything WORKS !! But, the Best part is you have 2 parking spots in a safe gated area. To me Peace of Mind is the Best while on Vacation. This place has it ALL.

Wow what an awesome picture perfect view! We had a great thanksgiving together and would highly recommend this vrbo to anyone looking to spend some time at the beach. The vrbo was stocked with everything you need and have at home. We always cook and it was wonderful to have cookware and basic seasonings

Our stay at serenity at the sea is exactly what we were looking for! The location is perfect, right in the heart of imperial beach, directly on the beach but raised so there is never a worry about a curious pedestrian getting too close. Every restaurant we wanted to visit was within walking distance and each one was phenomenal! Nancy is available should you need anything at all. She over communicates a bit at the beginning, but don't worry, she doesn't intrude or bother during your stay. You can see that Nancy has been updating the unit over the years and the updates are great. My only criticism is there isn't a good place to lounge inside the unit if exhausted, but why would you want to lounge inside when you are surrounded by so much beauty? Especially when the porch right on the beach is so comfortable!

Beautiful property in an amazing location, this was a wonderful experience! There is something for everyone. My boys enjoyed the boogie boards and football on the beach with dad. My parents loved relaxing on the patio with great views. I loved watching the diving pelicans and occasional jumping dolphins! We all also had a great time exploring San Diego which is just a short 15 minute drive.

From the moment we walked in we were impressed! Myself, husband and 6 year old nephew HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL WEEKEND. I wasn't sure about the area as I have never been but ended up loving the vibe!! We were able to walk to all kinds of fun little restaurants and hang at the beach so easily. Watching the Dolphins play in the ocean every morning was my favorite part :) I will be back with our best friends to do a grown up relaxing weekend next time. Thank you so much Nancy for your wonderful place and amazing communication.

We had a wonderful time in this unit over the last week. It was very clean and the proximity to the beach was ideal. Nancy, the owner, could not have been more helpful. She had everything we would have needed. In fact, next time, we will not have to pack as much as she has it covered.
I highly recommend this rental for a nice relaxing week at the beach.

Everything was great! The only issue was the gate to the garage did not close and it did concern me because of security. The check-in instructions did not include that a key was needed to use the elevator; I suggest it be included. Overall every thing was wonderful we havenβt stopped reminiscing and hope to stay at the mermaid house again.

This is a great place to be! The property is very well maintained and has a great location. The owner couldn't be nicer and she takes extra care to make sure everyone has a good time. She is in constant communication.
We hope to be back next time we're in Southern California. This place is a gem!

My family stayed a week in the βSerenity by the Seaβ condo and LOVED it! You canβt beat the location, in the heart of IB close to everything and right on the beach. It was so relaxing just watching the surf and other beach activities, especially the dolphins and surfers. Nancy was a great host, sent easy instructions for check in and out, and made sure we had everything we needed. The condo itself was perfect for our party of 6, and although we didnβt use the pool we did use the propertyβs barbecues more than once with no problems. All in all a great vacation - we will definitely be back!
