Kim Dotter could not have been more helpful. Communication was good. ( we called her many times )Location was great. We walked Del Mar beach daily…heavenly. Hope to return.
Beautiful unit and complex. Location was convenient to restaurants, shops and the 5 fwy to get anywhere.The unit itself was very clean and offered many amenities. Only missing shampoo and soap for shower and a hair dryer. Would definitely look at renting again for future visits.
Enjoyed our week in this great condo. Kim is a great host and was very responsive. Easy access to the beach. Close to shopping. Spent a good amount of time enjoying the pool and jacuzzi. Made for a great getaway!
We had a great time during our almost three week stay in Del Mar. The property was great - clean and functional! We were close to the steps down to the beach (though that is trek!) and the beach is amazingly clean and quiet. We would absolutely stay at this property again - thank you again for hosting us!
Nice size condo, well stocked. We enjoyed how close it was to Del Mar Race track since this was the main reason we were visiting. FYI, there are a lot of steps to get to the beach but the beach was very uncrowded and nice.

Wonderful condo in great community in Solana Beach
What a great little place! When we arrived, I was surprised to find that it was so much nicer than it appeared in the photos. The owner is very responsive and super nice. The unit is right next to the pool, you can see it from the dining room. I hopped in the hot tub every morning. There are two beautiful ocean-front pools. It's literally just a few steps to the stairs to the beach, which feels private and the waves are excellent for boogie boarding and body surfing. There were lots of surfers, too. There's a huge deck with nice deck chairs and benches for watching the sunsets. Lots of friendly people around. There is no AC in the unit and we were there in hot, hot July, but there were several fans that we situated to keep the air circulating and it was fine. Close to the freeway, very easy to get to and close the shops on Cedric. We had a beautiful, relaxing time with our little family of four. Thanks, Kim!!!!

Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy
Mostly Just Ok
Overall, I would rate this as just an average vacation rental. The beach club, access to the pool and access to the beach are fantastic, but the condo itself was not great.
To begin with, the Del Mar Beach Club is a quiet spot, and the beach was great and pretty private/quiet as well. There are a lot of steps to get down the cliff, but you can see those in the pictures so that was fine. It's only about a 5 minute walk to the beach from the condo. The beach club is right by the Del Mar race track, and traffic was very congested due to an event there.
The pool is right outside the back door from the condo and again was never very busy. We enjoyed that.
Things we didn't like:
The check-in instructions we received from Homeaway were apparently not the instructions the manager expected us to get. A few phone calls upon arrival (she was very helpful) got us in, so it was only a mild irritation.
The condo itself smells very musty/damp. We opened windows and ran fans the whole time we were there and it helped a little, but not much. There were lots of little things that just show a lack of attention to detail throughout; I won't list them all but there were enough for us to notice. The wifi was a constant struggle; kept having to reset it to get signal and even then you wouldn't get it out in the living room, only back in the master bedroom where the router is located.
We've stayed at many Homeaway/VRBO places, and every other place there has been some sort of note/instruction out on a counter or table for you to help explain the rules and also welcome you to your vacation rental. In this case, we had to search through the drawers and found a stack of old papers and the instructions for check-out were somewhere in the middle of the stack of paper.
In the end, we enjoyed the location and access to the beach and pool, but the rest was average.
Can't say enough good things about the property. Great location right by the beach, close to the pool and jacuzzi in the facility. Some much to do in the area, you'll never be border. Recommending this stay to everyone I know!
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect stay! Kim provided us with an amazing space that met all of our needs! It was the most perfect location…steps from heated pool and amazing beach!
Kim’s condo was very comfortable and in a wonderful location. We truly enjoyed the quick beach access and super close proximity to the pool. The beach was fantastic and never crowded. Great family times. The condo had great internet access which allowed me to work virtually for part of our stay. Highly recommend and would stay again without hesitation :-).
Bottom line - Loved the condo and the location was in the center of all the So Cal fun. Right near the ocean - Close to cool towns and great eating - easy access to San Diego - the place was a great find.
My wife and son visited Solana Beach and it’s a great location. Condo had everything you might need and really close to the pool. Beach is very close and not crowded. Not too far from Disney Land. San Diego is really close too. It was a relaxing quiet trip with everything we wanted to do a short drive away. Kim communicated very well with us. We are already planning our next trip!
We had everything we needed for our stay. Easy check-in and check-out. The property is so close to the beach and many restaurants and has many amenities. Kim was so easy to work with and responded quickly. We would stay here again.
The location of this property is awesome - the beach is close and the area feels very safe. No need to cross major streets or anything. The heated pool and hot tub are also steps from the condo. The grill is in the pool/hot tub area and we used it one night without any issues. Another bonus was the beach toys and buckets. I noticed on the last day that there is a large umbrella for the beach in the closet but we never used it. Beach towels are not provided so be sure to bring your own. You will also want to bring coffee filters, shampoo, conditioner and some of the basic cooking supplies you may need (olive oil, Pam, spices, etc.). The kitchen was well stocked with all the kitchen supplies we needed (skillets, pots, measuring cups, etc.). It was nice having a TV in every room with DVR capability on the TV in the living room. Living room also has a DVD player. The full size washer and dryer was also very convenient. We stayed with our 5 year old son and the place was more than enough room for the 3 of us. We went to Legoland 2 days in a row and it was an easy 15-20 minute drive from the condo. We hope to stay here again in the future.
Kim, the property manager was excellent to work with. There were just a couple of small issues but once we notified her, she got right on it and took care of all of our needs. I would definitely return to this property.
