Hooray, it’s the ocean!!!!!

Hard to find that at night when you’re first getting there so should probably arrive during the day. The location is really excellent close to things and it’s worth the effort to stay there. Can’t see the ocean directly from your unit because there’s a berm in front of it that’s OK you just walk outside and you’ve got the entire Pacific Ocean in front of you. Great stay, thank you.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We liked the location of our rental and the location of the resort. The rental could be charming if it was updated. It was very dark with a strong sewer smell. The patio area has lots of potential, update the furniture, maybe have a shovel on hand for all the sand.we loved the proximity to the beach, ocean, restaurants, shops and walking paths! The management dealt with all the issues as they came up.they came immediately and were helpful!

Take Good Care To Choose Where To Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We came to Solana Beach with other family members to celebrate an early Thanksgiving celebration together.We would highly recommend staying at the Del Mar Beach Club.We, personally, do not recommend staying in unit 101 at the Solana Beach Tennis Club, unless you are highly motivated to save some money.The Del Mar Beach Club which is a very nice property. Everything was new and very well kept up. They have a beautiful heated salt water pool and a huge whirlpool tub which easily seats 8 people. Their unit was very clean, well supplied, and had comfortable and clean furniture. We stayed at Solana Beach Tennis Club which is a very old and a very run down property. The pool was unusable; it was partially covered and filthy, full of sand. The hot tubs were unusable; empty and so small that only one average sized person would fit but not comfortably. We stayed in unit 101 which is the corner unit located right next to a public walkway giving access to the beach making it a very high traffic area. With people coming and going, the iron gate clanked continually. When there, we did not experience privacy in any sense of the word.The unit was filthy, never cleaned. The kitchen was the worst kitchen I have ever seen. Drawers re difficult to open and the countertops are shot! It was very poorly supplied. All of the knives were dull and near unusable, pots and pans that should be thrown away, unsafe to use and not even one rubber spatula! The refrigerator, washer, dryer are all rusted. The refrigerator door squeaks so loud, you think you're disturbing the neighbors. The table is rickety. The couches and chairs need to be taken to the dump. They are totally uncomfortable and filthy! The only good and clean thing was the bed. The sheets were clean on the bed. The bed was very comfortable.

Perfect Condo for 2 on Solana Beach

Loved this condo! Close to the stairs down to the beach so easy to carry beach chairs, boogie boards , etc! Kitchen had everything we needed and living area was big enough when our kids visited. Comfortable bed and tvs were easy to use. Property Management was great! We will be back!!

Great three week vacation!

Excellent condo, ground floor, overlooking the ocean, very close to stair access to ocean. The property needs to remove the carpeting in the hallway and bedroom which was filthy. The property needs better outside patio furniture.

Great location and excellent customer service

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 had originally chosen another unit in Del Mar, but a month or so before our arrival, Stubbs cancelled that reservation, and offered this unit in Solana Beach for the same price. We were appalled at first,but this apartment was located by the ocean, even though it had only one bedroom instead of two, and i + bathroom instead of two full bathrooms. The original apartment was also bigger and updated. The apartment my husband were switched for one week at the end of July 2022 is old and not renovated, but the location is great. It has a beautiful front ocean view, with direct access to the beach via a long series of ramps. There is no air conditioning, however, so during the day it gets very warm. In the afternoon and at night by opening the sliding doors (old and clunky), a cooling breeze brought down the indoor temperature. We had problems with the garbage disposal, which broke, a low water pressure and unstable temperature control in the shower, leaking faucets in the bathroom, very old and rusty kitchen equipment, and a dim light in the living room. Also the washer and dryer are very old. The patio at the entrance needs some attention as well. The management was very good at fixing things promptly, and in general they were very kind and professional. But of course the question is whether one wants to deal with being on the phone with the management to fix broken parts while on vacation and paying very good money for it. We wasted our time, to say the least. All in all, our stay was pleasant, particularly as I said in terms of the unit's location. I would say, in closing, that it would be great if it were updated in order to be more comfortable and meet the current standards and expectations in line with the considerable rent and fees paid. I would also say that being switched to a different unit caused some problems since we had planned to have our son visit, and it would have had his own bedroom and full bathroom had we stayed in the apartment we had picked.

Nice location, very tired unit

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location along the cliffs of Solana Beach. The place is very dated and in desperate need of a paint job, and major carpet clean (probably needs to be replaced). It is also just adequately equipped- no better. The light in the main bathroom is completely rusted, the closet doors slide right out of the runners (and weight a ton), and they could use a fan or two since there is no air conditioning. It would also have been nice to have a backup set of sheets and pillow cases, instead of the 15 beach towels. A couple of beach chairs would also have been nice. They could buy a decent can opener, and perhaps have a few dishes that match, and more than 2 decent coffee mugs (for those of us who prefer more than an 8 oz cup.) Great location if you don't mind everyone who walks past gaping into your living room (we figured out how to close the blinds just enough to let sun in and keep peepers out.) Overall it was fine but for what we paid, which I know was less than other places, it's very tired and it seems as thought the owners just don't care anymore. Nevertheless, we made the best of it and had a nice vacation.

Amazing location - excellent manager, but needs renovation

Cant beat this location. Stubbs property management was FANTASTIC! Excellent customer service, especially the fellow from New York - sorry can't remember his name. Check-in/out was great. The unit is on the ground floor, so only a peek ocean view when inside the unit, but once you step outside its phenomenal. The unit itself needs a lot of renovation and is very dated. But if you can look past that, it was a great deal! Very clean and everything I needed,

Ocean front Bargain. Steps from the Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we absolutely loved the location and the condo. Mornings were bagels from Einsteins on the patio and then a couple mile walk on the beach. A visit to the pool in the afternoon for a bit of swimming laps and floating. Watched the sun set each night from the patio or the beach and then finished the day with a stroll to one of the local pubs for a bite to eat. We left the sliders open a bit at night and fell asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing on the shore. Thank you to the office staff for working with us on our late check in and early check out due to our flights. We will be using this unit again on our next trip.
