Solana Beach

"The condo is clean, updated and beautifully furnished. It is a short stroll down to the beach. It is a large, open space. perfect for a weekend gathering or an extended stay. Guy was very helpful getting us instructions and was always available if we had questions. I look forward to coming back!"

"Our family of four stayed at this property during our vacation to the San Diego area June 12-17. The condo met every need we had...clean and comfortable and in a great location! The condo complex is on the older side but it's well maintained and easy to navigate. We got good use of the kitchen for breakfast each morning. The fridge is make your own cubes so if you have a larger group, make plans for ice. We went to the local Von's the evening we arrived to stock up on drinks, snacks and breakfast stuff. Day 1 was spent up the road in Carlsbad at LEGOLAND...20 min drive from the condo. Nice park and the kids loved it. Day 2 we drove to San Diego to visit the zoo and take a harbor tour via boat...roughly 30 min drive. Highly recommend both...the zoo is everything you've heard and the boat tour was great. The booth to buy tickets for the harbour tour is near the USS Midway on the boardwalk. TIP - buy a 2-day San Diego Go Pass. The pass includes admission to LEGOLAND, the zoo and the boat tour. We saved $$ hundreds buy purchasing the cards instead of individual tickets to each attraction. Day 3 we headed to Anaheim and did Disneyland. Can't use the Go Pass for Disney so be prepared to pay $100 per ticket...no biggie...it's Disneyland and it's a memorable time for the family. Drive was an hour each way but seemed to go by fast. We set aside Day 4 for a beach day since we knew we'd want a day to chill before heading home. We drove five minutes north on Hwy 101 to the Cardiff-by-the-Sea Beach State Park. Used the cooler provided in the condo along with the chairs and boogie boards. Water temp was 68 but didn't phase the kids. Spent the afternoon in the surf, playing Frisbee and walking the shoreline. It was a great afternoon. For dinners we went to Jake's in Del Mar twice (the first and last nights). Highly recommend. Great food and be sure to save room for Hula Pie. Also a great spot for sunset pictures. We did Pizza Port in Solana Beach night 2. Great pizza joint...almost a "dive" feel but cool for parents and kids. Great craft beer selection and the pizza was top notch. Day 3 we ate at the famous Hodad's for burgers in downtown Ocean Beach. The line out the door meant a 30 minute wait but it moves. Once inside we were glad we stuck around. Awesome burgers. Day 4 on the way back from Disneyland we had tex-mex in Carlsbad at Las Olas on Hwy 101. Get a burrito and a couple margaritas on the rocks...you'll be glad you did."
