We enjoyed our stay at this place. It is close (10 min walk) to the beach and even closer to shops/restaurants. It was very clean and comfortable and the host is responsive to questions. We enjoyed the deck with the views of the sunset. We had everything we needed for our stay and we enjoyed cooking meals in the well appointed kitchen and on the bbq. Would stay here again, thank you!

We had a wonderful week in Solana Beach!! The home was perfect for two people (and our pup!), it was walking distance to everything we love; restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, the beach. The sunsets from the deck were beautiful, with a good view of the ocean. The home was equipped with everything we needed. We cooked in a couple nights, and the kitchen amenities were great, including spices/olive oil/coffee pods/tea, etc. (which many places do not provide). Jonathan was very communicative and welcoming throughout the whole process of renting. We will definitely be back!!

We liked the location in proximity to Cardiff State Beach and Del Mar North Beach. The kitchen was sufficiently stocked, but was lacking a sponge to clean dishes. The parking is designed only for small compact cars, but we fortunately gained agreement with the other tenant to park parallel to the street instead of in the perpendicular stall which would have had both cars protruding into the street.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed the location near Cardiff State Beach and Del Mar North Beach, as well as the well-stocked kitchen. We apologize for the missing dish sponge and will ensure our cleaning team doesn’t overlook this in the future. Had we known during your stay, we would have been happy to provide one right away. Regarding parking, the listing specifies it is best suited for a regular-size car, and past guests with larger vehicles have successfully used free street parking nearby. We appreciate your feedback and are glad you enjoyed your visit.

Very cute place, well designed, immaculately clean, and terrific location. The ocean view from the bedroom and balcony was quite a treat! You really feel like you're on vacation, overlooking all the palm trees and the ocean itself. And with the doors and windows open, there's a wonderful cross-breeze, so the place stays nice and cool. The only caveats: 1) If you're bringing your pooch, the upper unit (this listing) isn't supposed to have access to the yards below for doggies to do their business. There's a little park area across the street - but it's dirt, not grass. So just be aware if your pup needs a grassy area. 2) And, it's a remodeled attic with slanted ceilings, so if you're tall, this may not work for you. If these aren't issues for you, then don't hesitate. Very responsive host, and easy check-in and out. Had a great stay.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m so glad you enjoyed the design, the ocean views, and those breezy open windows—it really does feel like a little getaway spot up there. Just to clarify for future guests with pups: since this is the upper unit, the outdoor spaces belong to the other unit on the lower level and aren’t accessible for dogs. The listing doesn’t advertise a grassy yard for this unit, and most guests with dogs (and even our neighbors) take their pups just a couple of blocks away to the grassy areas, which works out well. I really appreciate your thoughtful feedback and am so happy you had a great stay. You’re welcome back anytime!

Great location. Very clean. Loved the deck. Very nice having some starter provisions such as laundry soap and Keurig pods. Something we didn’t think about was the angled ceilings, which are obviously present in a property such as this. Not the best thing for someone over 6 foot . But after a few bumped heads, we figured it out.We really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back to Solana Beach. Thank you, Jonathan!
