Breathtaking views from uniting Amazing Solana Beach

Second time to this area and it was amazing for a full week. Huge views of the ocean from the condo and an updated access systemTo and from the beach. Solana offers many places to eat and spend time but is also in close proximity to the busier areas aka Del Mar. great host and super clean place; very quiet!

A wonderful condo with a very close up fabulous view of the ocean! We found it to be very clean, comfortable and well furnished. The kitchen has everything you would need for any task. We enjoyed watching the surfers just off the deck as well as the sunsets. It is close to shopping and restaurants. We also appreciated the assigned covered parking space which was very close to the unit. Our host was great and very helpful and communicative. A 5 star property in our opinion. We will definitely return!

Beautiful Ocean View

This property is as advertised! Awesome ocean view which was a great way to start every morning with a cup of coffee on the patio! Many great options in the area for dining or spending time at the beach. Short distance from our parking spot to the condo as well! Communication with Scott was outstanding prior to and throughout our stay as he quickly responded to any questions we had. We would definitely recommend booking this property for a nice relaxing getaway!

Relaxation

Perfect location for spending all day relaxing on the beach. Definitely more of a locals beach, so not very busy on the week days. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. This condo is extremely comfortable and the views are incredible! We plan to stay here again next time we vacation in Southern Cali…

FANTASTIC GETAWAY PLACE AND LOCATION

Hi Scott, The Mack Shack is overall wonderful … cleanliness, the condo layout and location, the condo is outfitted with everything anyone would need, the kitchen had everything a cook needs along with nice dishes and great glasswares. The view is fantastic and the beach is as well … saw a few seals and a bunch of dolphins. No problem finding good restaurants close by. I highly recommend to anyone seeking some great time away. Thanks much - we really enjoyed, Dick and Karin

The view...

We enjoyed our beach vacation despite the rain and cold because we had the view from the perfectly placed chair by the window. Kitchen was well equipped and we used it. Comfortable bed and furniture. We enjoyed exploring the small beach community. Walking distance to great cafes and shops.

Grateful

We are retired snowbirds that feel very grateful we found this Vrbo. If offers a wonderful 24/7 view of the Pacific Ocean. Has comfortable furniture, has a well stocked kitchen. Cozy location at the end of the condo complex which meant plenty of privacy. Spacious bedroom. Lots of bedroom furniture, cedar closet for our things. Easy parking easy few steps to door if that's a concern. Already going back next winter!

Awesome Oceanview Condo!!!

Well-appointed condo in a laid-back, quiet complex. Parking was super convenient to unit. Oceanfront Pool and Spa. Stairs to beach was right next to property, which is not so common in this area. We've stayed at many VRBO ocean-front rentals from Leucadia to Del Mar and this was one of our favorites. Scott, the host, was also top-notch with his communication and efforts to make our stay the best possible. We stay at VRBO properties in various parts of world, so know how important a good host is. We look forward to returning!

About the host

Hosted by Scott MacKinnon

Born and raised in Southern California and live 20 minutes away in Elfin Forest. Love the beach!

Why they chose this property

Love the view and watching sunsets with a glass of wine. The beach below is less crowded than most beaches and there is surf right out front. Literally miles to walk on the beach. The place itself is beautifully decorated and completely furnished. Very comfortable bed with Beautyrest pillows.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful view from balcony with comfy chairs--beach below provides long walks on the sand--walk on the beach to Fletcher Cove (half mile) and enjoy the restaurants and bars there.
