Beautiful and Relaxing Getaway

What a perfect place to stay! From the amazing view to the incredible proximity to the beach/ocean to the wonderful attentiveness of Stubbs (the rental company), we absolutely enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again. We highly recommend Sea La Vie (and Stubbs).

We'll definitely be back!

We just returned from a one week stay here, and are already thinking about it for next year (even longer!). The photos from the listing are 100% accurate-the place is so bright and open feeling. The views are SPECTACULAR-we spent many hours on the deck watching the ocean and surfers. The beach is easily accessible, and a good workout (100 steps down and back up to get to and from the beach). The unit was incredibly well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Great location in a quiet area. Restaurants and shops within 5-10 minutes. This was a heavenly get away, and we will definitely be returning!

Thank you for your review, Valerie. We will discuss your feedback with the owner. We feel that the secure underground gated parking garage is very convenient to the unit and have not heard of any other guest's vehicle scraping. We do hope you stay with us again soon. Check out all our properties and perhaps there is something more suitable.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. A couple of concerns: Both sliding doors, one to the balcony oceanfront and the balcony off the master bedroom Do Not Lock. We had hiking sticks that we placed for security. This needs to be fixed please.

Exceeded my expectations

Walking into the unit to the ocean views was a literal thrill! I spent hours sitting at the windows watching the surfers, dolphins, sea lions, pelicans and sea gulls. At this time of year there was much coastal fog, known as "the marine layer", but that didn't stop me from joining the other beach walkers and dogs. The unit was cute and clean. Great location! The real estate management company, Stubbs, was easy to work with and always helpful!

Oceanfront rental

It was just great! Right on the ocean- we watched the surfers each morning. Just the right size for 2 people- 1 bedroom/1 bath. Plenty big enough kitchen. Cute little patio. Two (very small) complaints- water didn't stay hot enough for a whole hot tub full. But still nice. And there was not enough light in bedroom to read by. But all in all, delightful property and would stay here again!

Beautiful stay

This property was absolutely fabulous. It is very thoughtfully put together. I enjoyed the master bedroom and my 23 year old slept comfortably on the blow up bed. Plenty of pillows and blankets to be really cozy. The pool and jacuzzi were very clean - and very close to this unit. But the best part was the ocean. Sometimes we chose to sit on the balcony to enjoy the cool air, and other times we sat inside. Either way, we were able to enjoy the waves, clouds, birds and surfers :) The sound of the waves were wonderful to fall asleep to. Planning on using this rental again!

Fantastic view, comfortable stay!

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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at the Sea La Vie property. Access to the beach was excellent and the complex was quiet and relaxing! The place was comfortable and clean for the most part. The couch is really soiled and should be replaced. The sliding door to the deck could also use some attention. The requisite meeting with the community ambassador was unpleasant. The message we took away from the meeting was "we don't really want you here and we don't trust you."
Response from VrboOwner on 2 Oct, 2024
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the beach access, quiet atmosphere, and overall comfort of the Sea La Vie property. We’re sorry to hear about the couch and sliding door, and we’ll speak with the owner about making improvements. We also apologize for the experience with the Del Mar Shores Terrace community ambassador—that's not the welcoming environment we aim for, and we’ll be looking into this. We appreciate your comments and hope to provide a better experience next time!

Perfect Beach Retreat

The unit faces the ocean, so we spent lots of time on the balcony watching the surfers, listening to the waves, drinking coffee in the morning and enjoying a glass of wine in the evenings. My husband enjoyed the pool and hot tub every morning, and we both enjoyed long walks on the beach. Great restaurants are in Solana Beach and Del Mar, and we enjoyed the local shopping as well. We could have cooked but didn’t (kitchen was well supplied). Lack of air conditioning was a non-issue. Laundry room was located about 50 steps away and perfectly fine. The unit is very spacious and laid out nicely. In short, we loved it so much that we already made our reservation for the same time next year.

Enjoyable stay in San Diego.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There used to be a standing fan that could be used in the bedroom. It is now gone. The bedroom gets very stuffy without it. It would be great to have it back, or a ceiling fan. Two of the small light bulbs above the mirror were burned out. Made it more challenging to put makeup on. If you have any rentals with air conditioning, let me know. It gets rather damp and a little stuffy without it. This is a minor detail, but the hot tub is uncomfortably hot, almost burning. Just an FYI.

Good memories

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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My mom, sister and I had stayed at this complex often for the past 26 yrs and some of the stays were in #17, which was “Helen’s condo).. always a lovely place. This November when I walked in, it looked very much the same but also had not been taken care of. Peeling paint on the slider areas and windows, tape on the sliders, a really worn out sisal rug leading to balcony. Stains in the couch cushions etc. Another issue was no instructions for operating the tvs. Kevin came over and fixed/explained operation but next day could not get l. r. set to work. The view and easy walk in to the unit is a major good feature! The unit was well equipped and comfortable. The staff at Stubbs was wonderful and efficient. A nice welcome basket was appreciated. One drawback that Stubbs could not control was the renovation going on next door. Pretty constant drilling and hammering was not very peaceful! The unit had been cleaned well etc. it was a great visit but appearance and maintenance disappointing. Would recommend to friends with caveat of appearance.
Response from VrboOwner on 11 Dec, 2024
Thank you for your detailed feedback and for staying with us again after so many years of wonderful memories at this complex. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the views, convenient access, and the welcome basket, and that our team, including Kevin, was helpful during your stay. We sincerely apologize for the maintenance and appearance concerns you mentioned, as well as the disruption from neighboring renovations. While we cannot control the timing of nearby projects, we’re committed to addressing the condition of the unit and will be sharing your comments with the owner. We’re glad the unit was well-equipped and clean, but we appreciate your honesty about the areas in need of attention. We hope to welcome you back soon and provide a more polished experience. Thank you again!
