Heads up: Coronado bans short nightly and weekend rentals in its residential zones. The city defines transient as 25 consecutive days or less, so 26 consecutive nights is the shortest legal stay. You will often see this rounded to a "30-day minimum," but 26 nights is the real line. Most visitors stay in hotels or day-trip over from downtown San Diego.
