HOT TUB, Parking, A/C - Near SeaWorld, Beaches, MCRD, Barnes Tennis, PLNU!

Uniquely inspired, Le Chateau Jolie is as romantic as it is charming. Packed with amenities, it would be a serious challenge to get bored.

This 1 bedroom 1 bathroom vacation home is only a few minutes from several of San Diego's best beaches. It is ideally located such that getting to all of San Diego's main attractions, museums, and cultural centers typically takes under 15 minutes. We have a 37-acre wildlife wetland preserve just across the street and we have a wonderful view of SeaWorld's fireworks displays looking out all of our North-facing windows. The San Diego International Airport is 3.5 miles away and Mexico is only 22 miles away.

WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT THIS PLACE?
“It just feels so warm and inviting, can't I just live here?" and "You really have thought of EVERYTHING!" Those are the types of comments I most often hear.
The entire apartment is adorned with beautiful, vaulted wood ceilings, which make it feel much more spacious than you would imagine.

The patio area is fantastic! Amenities include: 6-Person hot tub with adjacent 2-person bar seating (for those that want to chat but not get wet), BBQ grill (what says vacation more than the smell of grilling up dinner?), fire pit & seating area (s'mores anyone?), 6-chair set for patio dining, shed FULL of beach & park equipment, outdoor shower, and even a surfboard & easy-on/off roof mounts!

The location is excellent. Not only are we central coastal, and just 1.4 miles from the beach, but our kitchen and bedroom windows display SeaWorld's FIREWORKS displays. And if that weren't special enough, we are just across the street from Famosa Slough, a 37-acre wetland area that is vital to supporting threatened and endangered species. San Diego is one of the most biologically rich counties in the US. This wetland attracts all kinds of migrating birds and has a lovely walking path along its shoreline.

WHAT IS THE BUILDING STRUCTURE LIKE?
This 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment is the front half of the second floor of a two-story triplex. There is one flight of stairs, which is near the reserved parking spot. The stairs are enclosed, well lit, and have a handrail. The apartment shares only one wall with neighbors. There is a long-term tenant next door and a vacation rental below you.

WHAT ARE THE ROOMS LIKE?
First off, you will be pleased if cleanliness is important to you. It is very important to us too.

The spacious bedroom has wood vaulted ceilings, a ceiling fan, ROKU TV, DVD player, bedside reading light, a well-lit reading chair, and a huge walk-in closet. Triple pane windows block nearly all sounds from outside, and that coupled with a comfy Queen-size bed, nice linens, and black-out window dressings encourages a wonderful night’s sleep and lazy vacation mornings.

The living room has a wonderfully comfortable sofa that folds flat into a full-size bed. There is also a ROKU TV, DVD player, large DVD library, dozens of books, and a huge game cabinet full of board games, toys, puzzles, and arts and crafts. Take a good look at the furniture, and yes, several pieces are constructed from real cigar boxes (and no, we don’t smoke cigars)! Truly fun and unique.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook as you do at home. There is a gas stove, oven, full sized fridge and freezer, dishwasher, built-in microwave, taster, toaster oven, and a dual coffee machine that brews both k-cups (complimentary) as well as carafes. In the kitchen you will find an array of spices, resealable baggies, saran & foil, food storage containers, cleaning supplies, and a 30-cup PUR water filter. A wave of your hand lights up the countertops.

The bathroom has a shower/tub combo with excellent water pressure, plenty of fresh white linens, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, shaving mirror, and an entire floor to ceiling cabinet packed with helpful forgot-one items. You will also find oversized quick-dry Turkish cotton beach towels in your linen cabinet,

In the dining area there is a fold-down desk and chair, which makes for a nice workspace if you have a few last-minute work items you weren't able to get done prior to heading out of town.

Shared spaces include a laundry room and a patio. If you come to town for a private event, such as a graduation or a wedding, you may want to inquire about the other vacation rental in the building, which is three bedrooms and sleeps up to ten.

If you would like exclusive use of the patio for a particular time block, you may request it. There are no additional fees involved in doing so.

AIR CONDITIONING?
Do not assume just because you are near the beach, you do not need A/C! Trust me, you do, and we have it.

DO I GET OFF-STREET PARKING?
This apartment comes with one off-street parking space. Inquire further if you need a second parking space, as one may be available for reservation.

EV charging available, complimentary.

CAN I DO LAUNDRY?
A coin-op laundry room is just outside your front door. Coins are made available for purchase.

LOOKING FOR UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES ON A BUDGET
Over the years I have been compiling an extensive "Totally Cool & Mostly FREE Things to See & Do" list. This list has grown to about 40 pages now and is very reader friendly. Guests often mention they really got a lot of great ideas from it.
FAMILIES TRAVELING WITH BABIES
The walk-in closet is very large. Families traveling with little ones will at once appreciate that the complimentary Pack 'N Play takes up only 1/3 of the closet and the closet effectively can be used as a quiet nursery. Extra pillows and blankets and dedicated boogie boards are also stored here.
Rubber eating utensils/plates, various sippy cups, baby wellness, books, toys and a highchair are provided. Hard-to-pack baby items are available upon request and include pack & play w/bassinet & changing table, portable shaded play yard, beach mesh tent, and more. Entertainment includes toys, picture books, and an animated DVD library.

DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS – AM I GOING TO END UP FEELING LIKE A VIP OR A GROUPON HOLDER...?
Great forethought has been put into the way the property is appointed, such that guests are often inclined to feel cared for and attended to, which is an experience that is difficult to articulate because it is subtle but potent. It’s personal and you can feel the love that surrounds you from the hand-made cigar box furniture that Kim created with her oldest daughter to the wall murals which were hand painted by her youngest daughter. The devil is in the details as they say, which is shown by so many of the reviews mentioning "attention to detail"... It is no one thing but it is everything.

WHAT ARE SOME OTHER THINGS I MIGHT NEED TO KNOW?
• Internet connection speed is limited by the capabilities of that particular device’s configuration as well as local bandwidth congestion.
• San Diego’s International Airport is located right beside several communities including ours. We have installed triple-pane windows throughout for a very peaceful experience. However, newcomers will notice the noise from the overhead planes when out on the patio. If you think this will bother you or if you have experience as a very light sleeper, then please be willing to try out the supplied ear plugs/white noise/nature machines, which should be more than adequate to have you sleeping very comfortably and soundly. However, PLEASE REFRAIN from booking if you think airplane noise will take away from you having a positive experience. We'd MUCH rather you book somewhere you are more certain to have a 5-star experience.
• Please DO NOT book a reservation if you are less than FULLY committed to respecting, and ensuring all House Rules as follows: No unregistered guests. No pets. No parties/loud gatherings/adversely intoxicated social get-togethers on or about the property without prior authorization from the host. Be fully committed to being an EXCELLENT neighbor (friendly/quiet/respectful). No parking in anyone else’s parking space. If you break or stain it, admit it ASAP. WE RELY ON EXTERIOR CAMERAS to monitor noise/unregistered guests/parking issues/unauthorized pets. We have invested in your experience, please help us... help you... enjoy it!
