A glorious get-away on Glorietta Bay

My husband and I could not stop raving about this condo! We are going back again next year for 1 month and highly recommend this condo. The overall decor is uncluttered, soothing, and up-to-date. The appliances and amenities are top of the line. The condo was clean and shiny when we arrived.
The view from the front balcony is fantastic. We enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle of the 10-story condos on the beach. Being on the bayside gave us the opportunity to look at the saibloats in the marina and to watch the sun rise from the balcony as we had our morning coffee/tea.
The quiet patio on the backside was a great place to sit and read and to enjoy the water feature. The back door also provides a quick way to get to the beach at the famous del Coronado ( 1 and 1/2 blocks away). We also enjoyed being able to step out the back door and get to the Village of Coronado one block away. The village of Coronado has unique shops, restaurnats and parks.
One of the best features for us was the ability to lock our bikes up right in front of our garage stall - which was located right below the condo. We could explore the island or take our bikes on the ferry to San Diego and ride around to acitivites like the Italian Farmers Market on the weekend.
The condo has all the cooking utensils one needs. The bathroom has a jacuzzi tub and the entire stall and tub are surrounded in marble.
The condo is located in a building with 23 other units. The residents are very quiet. Pomona Street does get busy at rush hour (as people head toward or from the Coronado Bridge) yet if you keep the balcony doors closed, you don't hear the traffic.
Cherie and her Mom were available via phone if we needed anything during our stay. They were both very responsive -- answering loads of questions - when we were deciding whether or not to stay there. Our deposit check was at our home before we got home!
Restaurants in Coronado: Peohe's and Il Fornaio down at the Ferry Landing. You can sit outside and have a view of the San Diego Harbor. (They also have happy hour priced food if you do not want an entire meal).
Restaurnats in San DIego: El Prado at Balboa Park
Attractions: sunset at the del Coronado, trolley ride around San Diego to get your bearings, Balboa Park, Wild Safari Park (we toured via Segway bikes) - 30 miles north of Coronado, San Juan Capistrano (90 minutes via Amtrak), biking on Mission Beach, ......
