Coronado Does Battle with Clearwater

July 5, 2011 by Comments

Cyndee Haydon, premier Clearwater Beach Realtor, seems to think that muggy Clearwater can somehow best Coronado Beach real estate! Cyndee is a dear friend and prolific blogger, but San Diego real estate and Coronado homeowners in particular, should take note of Miz Haydon’s observations. Do YOU think Clearwater playgrounds are superior to San Diego beaches? Is pricing built into value? Here’s what Cyndee writes: Recently I was reviewing the Top 10 Best Beaches in America by Dr. Stephen Leatherman, aka … [Read more...]

by Roberta Murphy We frequently get inquiries regarding oceanfront homes in San Diego--and love showing those properties. Therefore, it truly snagged our interest when we heard that Earl Charles Spencer, Princess Diana's younger brother, was searching for a home along the San Diego coast. If you recall, Spencer gave the touching eulogy for Princess Diana at her funeral--and is a noted historical author as well as a reproducer of fine royal antiques. It seems he looked at beach estates for a couple of days, … [Read more...]

Coronado Shores Condominiums

by Roberta Murphy Years ago, when I first considered moving to Southern California from Houston, I used to stay with friends at the Coronado Shores on Coronado--which sat just across the bay from downtown San Diego. My friends' Coronado Shores condo didnt overlook the San Diego skyline (which it might have done had it been across the hall); rather, it overlooked the Pacific Ocean and the glorious beach below. These Coronado high rises reminded me of the oceanfront complexes in Fort Lauderdale and … [Read more...]

Hauntings at the Hotel del Coronado

December 6, 2007 by Comments
Hotel del Coronado

Reports of hauntings at the Hotel del Coronado have circulated for years. The most famous ghost is a young woman who reportedly committed suicide near the turn of the last century. I don't recall exactly where she stayed that fateful night at the Hotel del Coronado, but I do recall a desk clerk giving me the room number (Room 3227?) during a stay there a few years ago. Unable to resist the temptation during that stay, I went by that small interior room in the hotel (with windows that opened into the hallway), … [Read more...]
