Check in was easy though if arriving later in the evening, it is difficult to locate the entrance to the condo. Condo was spacious, comfortable and clean. There was a musty smell, but may be because it's so close to the ocean. perfect location to walk to eat and the beach which was amazing! The grounds are pristine. Beautiful area to stay in! would definitely come again!

renter

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, reasonably satisfied but here are a couple of items that were annoying:1) AC had to be drained because of a gurgling sound. Once by a tech and twice by renter.2) the master bedroom door locked had to be replaced because the renter was locked in the bedroom and had to remove the door to get out3) Screen doors constantly jammed
Response from VrboOwner on Oct 6, 2026
Thank you for your feedback, and we're glad you were reasonably satisfied with your stay. We apologize for the issues with the AC, the master bedroom door lock, and the jamming screen doors.

Perfect beachside getaway

We had a great stay here. We loved the pool and close beach access. The home had everything we could want and was the perfect place to relax after a long day of playing and sightseeing. The beds were comfortable and the home was clean. You can’t beat the location for uncongested access to Solana Beach.

Our family absolutely loved the location and the unit. Great views and walking areas with access to the beach. Rooms were spacious and clean. Having a washer and dryer was especially appreciated considering how often the kids were wet from the pool and ocean. Parking also a major plus, and the shopping and restaurant scene nearby is easily walkable.As a bonus suggestion, hiking nearby in Annie's Canyon and the San Elijo Lagoon is a nice stop for birding and interesting terrain.The property managers were nice and explained the layout well.

Perfect vacation!

This condo was everything we could have asked for...the complex was quiet and serene with the beautiful landscaping and stream running through, located right on the beach, stocked with all the beach accessories we needed and within walking distance to great restaurants and shopping. The condo was immaculate and the beds very comfortable. We enjoyed our time there and highly recommend it to others.

Solana Beach getaway

This is a perfect location to see all San Diego has to offer including beaches, restaurants and areas of entertainment. The property is very comfortable, well-kept, and has a nice pool and an area to see the beautiful beaches and sunsets, with easy access down to the ocean. Wish we could stay longer as there is so much to enjoy! Thank you!

Very nice place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Place was very nice. It was clean and everything we needed was there. Pool and hot tub were perfect. The condo overlooks the road, but it was quiet. The only negative was the amount of steps and distance to the car made it hard to load and unload if you have a lot of baggage. We were there a month.
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 14, 2026
Thank you for the kind review. I’m so glad the condo was clean, well‑equipped, and that you enjoyed the pool and hot tub during your month‑long stay. Being on the beautiful bluffs in Solana Beach does mean the community has quite a few stairways, and that can make loading and unloading feel like a bit of a trek. We note this in the listing so guests can plan ahead, but I appreciate you sharing your experience. It was a pleasure hosting you.

It doesn’t get much better than this

We stayed here in this condo in Solana Beach for a week and had an amazing time. It’s right by the pool and an extra large Jacuzzi which we used a ton. It’s very close to the ocean so we went there a bunch of times too. I brought my electric scooter and went down the 101 visiting different coffee shops restaurants and breweries. This might’ve been our best vacation to San Diego. I’m definitely coming back!

Condo View

We were disappointed in the location. We were hoping to get at least a garden view, instead of the view of the road in front of us.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. The pictures accurately depict the unit and there is no view noted in the amenities. The location is within a few hundred feet of the ocean which most guests find appealing. Please use filters in the future to narrow your search to homes with the view you desire. Thank you for staying with Stubbs!

Absolutely fabulous! This is a remodeled modern beautiful condo with tons of room in the Seascape Sur neighborhood. 5-10 mins walk to beach. Pools with hot tubs on sight. 3 min walk to cliff overlooking beach. 10 walk to coffee shops and restaurants. San Diego condos do not have AC, so you will need the fan on to keep air moving. However, this unit has windows on both ends, so air flows through nicely. We are definitely coming back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice 2 bedroom apartment. Arrived late on Christmas Eve, and the real estate company was very helpful in accommodating our arrival. Great view of the beach and ocean from the other side of the condo complex. Finally, Solana Beach was the perfect place to stay. It had a nice medium sized town feel, while still being only 15 to 30 minutes from all places of interest in LaJolla and San Diego.

Cheerful condo in excellent location

The Solana beach condo is in an excellent location, perched above the bluffs and beach just north of Del Mar with great walking access to restaurants and shops. The unit itself is off the street so there is some noise and limited light and airflow, but the on-site pool and hot tub are very close, the parking is easy, and the development itself is charming and very convenient. The condo is large and nicely spread out for a family or small group, and it has many conveniences (laundry, extra bedding, beach chairs and towels, stocked kitchen). The only drawbacks for us were the lack of air-conditioning (which probably only matters in the hottest weeks of summer) and the somewhat dated beds and bathrooms. But overall, the decor is cheery and attractive, and this condo is a great option for the price point given its waterfront address, amenities and size. Cynthia was very responsive, communicative and helpful.
