What a wonderful place to stay! The photos and descriptions don't give it justice. My wife and I took our 2.5 year old and Grandma down for a week. The place was perfect. There was lots of room for the little guy to run around (both inside and out) and things were tidy, safe and well organized. The owner met us and gave us a great tour of the property. Our son loved playing with the beach toys, knee-board and other sports equipment. The Cedros Design District is just a 2 minute walk away and we wer lucky to be able to go to the Farmers' Market on our second day there. A new Whole Foods is also a five-minute drive away. The beaches nearby were fantastic and the location provides for easy access to Legoland, the Zoo, the Botanical Gardens, La Jolla, etc. We will be back!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway.

Terrific hosts, great house that's well maintained and stocked. We stayed with our three young kids and everyone loved the place, and the property managers/owners were very responsive and great to work with.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

My family rented this lovely home in October. We had wonderful time enjoying beautiful Solana Beach. This house is in the perfect location for a stroll to the farmer's market, boutique shopping or the beach. Christy, the owner is a wonderful host, and has thought of just about everything to make your stay most confortable. We would definitley return.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

This condo is precisely what one would expect from the photos and description. As a SD native I can assure you the location is ideal. Whether you want to use the 101 or the 5 you are perfectly situated between both to get to any SD location you would like and if you want to hit the race track, or the Del Mar Fair depending on the time of year, you could walk. Also, if you are into walking, jogging, or biking you can easily, and safely, do all three from the condo. I went jogging or walking with my 4 month old every morning using the pedestrian sidewalk that runs parallel to the 101 and is just a short distance from the condo. As far as beaches go, I put my 2 year old in the stroller everyday and walked her to Pillbox which is a beautiful beach that also has a fabulous grass area and playground for kids ages 1 1/2+. To the south you have Del Mar, which is also within walking distance, and boasts a dog beach in addition to your typical beaches. There are good restaurants and shops within walking distance on Cedros. I have racked my brain for helpful criticism for future renters and I have come up short. If I could say anything it would be there there is no A/C, which is the rule vs. the exception in CA, and even then, we stayed there during the hottest time of year, during a heat wave, and I did not have a problem so long as we had the fans going. The owner, Christy, could not possibly be anymore kind, welcoming, accommodating, or helpful. She was happy to be contacted for even the smallest question via text and she was always very quick to respond. She was truly wonderful. You will not be disappointed with this rental.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, pet owners, sightseeing.

Loved the place! Super clean, fun interior and every amenity a family or group of friends would need for a nice get away. The condo was just a short walk to the water, racetrack and fun shopping. Grocery stores are a short drive away. We enjoyed our time inside the condo as much as the rest of our vacation. The owner has truly gone out of her way to make sure guests have everything they need and was even available for questions during our stay. We were traveling with kids ranging in age from 6 to 15, the space was great for all of them. I can't believe that we were so lucky to have found this place.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The property is immaculate -- very tidy and beautifully maintained. The owner has truly thought of everything -- all the necessary amenities are provided; the furniture is very comfortable; everything works perfectly; etc. The location is super, and we did not notice the train at all. We would definitely stay here again.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

What a great place to stay! We felt as if we were at the beach the moment we stepped into the townhome...casual coast decor. The townhome is more than well-stocked! I don't believe there was anything Christy hadn't thought of. She is quite the host! Beaches were an easy walk, as well as great restaurants, the weekly open-air market, and the Coaster train were a stroll away. San Diego was a quick car ride south, and Legoland north. This was a family vacation with boys 7 and 9, and grandparents. We were very comfortable in the townhome, enjoyed the garden, and the boys played basketball almost every evening! The only issue was that we weren't ready to go home after our week's stay! We would certainly stay at Christy's agian, given the opportunity!!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Spent a week in Solana Beach in March with my wife and 2 children ages 2 and 3. The House was in a great location. Close to the beach and tons of great places to eat. The place was set up perfectly for a family. Kids had there own room and we could hang out downstairs while they were sleeping. Having a garage to park in was also very convenient. Made lots of our own meals in the well stocked kitchen. Beds and bathrooms were great. I will definitely stay here again. Christy was great and easy to work with.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

This was my family's second year in a row here, and we had another great time. The location is ideal for So Cal activities -- Del Mar Beach (personal favorite), Disneyland and Legoland to name a few. Excellent value, especially for the holiday season. The property is immaculately maintained, and the decor is fun. Thanks to the homeowners for welcoming us back. We hope to return in the future!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Well-decorated, clean, lovingly cared-for property! Photos do not do the place justice. I actually told the owner that! Plenty of room for the five of us, which includes an 18, 6, and 4 year old. Thoughtful touches including a nightlight in the kids' bathroom, plenty of videos for the whole family, shell decor, games, tons of closet space, extra linens, etc. Beach amenities were a plus- we didn't have to pack chairs, beach towels, sand toys, etc., because they were all available at the property. Great location, close to beach - I dropped off people and beach items, but you can easily walk to and from North Beach. Easy walk to Cedros Design District for lunch, shopping, Sunday farmer's market. 10 minute drive to Del Mar shopping area. Walking distance to Del Mar racetrack and fairgrounds. Quick 15-20 minute drive to Legoland and Carlsbad Outlet Mall. Easy freeway access. 5 minute drive to major grocery store- perfect for preparing meals in the well-stocked kitchen, which can comfortably seat 8. Washer and dryer is very handy and on site. Complex is clean, well-lit and modern. Grassy area on property is perfect for using the included BBQ, playing croquet, frisbee, basketball and running around. Owner is fantastic answering questions and replying to e-mails. When you break down the weekly cost vs. a local hotel for 5 people, you really can't beat the value and amenities. I hope to return soon - highly recommended, except now that I wrote this review, the property will probably be booked!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

We stayed in this condo during spring break and had a wonderful time. After a long flight from Indianapolis, it was nice to be personally met by the property manager and shown around the condo. Not only was Christy warm and hospitable, but she went the extra mile and had personalized beach toys for our two boys. The condo is immaculate, well organized and is even cuter in person than in the photos. It is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The location in Solana Beach is perfect for families trying to get away from the hustle and bustle of San Diego, yet close enough to sight see. The Naked Cafe and Tony's Jocal were the two best restaurants we tried in Solana Beach. We even ate at The Naked Cafe twice. The pancakes there are probably the best I've ever had. I highly recommend this property.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

I stayed at this townhouse from July 30th to August 5th with 6 friends who had come to town. Though we had originally chosen this location to be near the Del Mar racetrack, it was also closer to the beach and local restaurants than we had thought, which was great. The owners are very friendly and easy to work with, and the townhouse itself was spacious for our group. Overall a very positive experience contributing to a fun vacation.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1
