A repeat stay for us as we enjoyed the stunning ocean view, beach, quiet complex, pool, tennis courts and location to other restaurants and activities. The unit does need a thorough cleaning as the kitchen drawers had crumbs in them and dust bunnies throughout the condo.
The property manager was responsive to our requests as needed.

This 2 BR/2 bath condo has a stunning ocean view! Quiet neighbors, quiet complex, very relaxing.The condo decor is nice, if a bit dated. Kitchen supplies were adequate, appliances were modern. We did find some crumbs in kitchen drawers and cupboards, and dust bunnies/hair underneath beds and couch that needed to be taken care of. For the most part, though, it was fairly clean and comfortable. It was disconcerting that internet streaming sometimes got disconnected for no reason. The owner was responsive to requests/comments and was very nice.

Our stay was spectacular. Kitchen well equipped, furnishings inside and out most comfy. Even the screen doors work well, which is often not the case with beach front condos. Bath towels and sheets need upgrading. Otherwise, the ocean sounds and sunsets make for a magical experience! We will be back!

It was great! The only thing we were expecting and didn't find were beach toys and good chairs. The grill and front porch were dirty and we had to clean, sweep it off and clear away the spider webs ourselves.
The kitchen was well stocked and the unit itself was very clean.

Delightful condo with lots of amenities! We throughly enjoyed the lovely condo. It has the best equipped kitchen we have ever experienced in a VRBO, tastefully decorated, comfortable beds and furnishings and an excellent reading selection. We loved watching the surfers and the children’s swimming classes from the great balcony. The complex is very attractive with nice landscaping. The location is perfect—- easy access to shopping, restaurants, San Diego and villages along the coast.

Pros: Great updated condo with beautiful views of the ocean, well equipped kitchen with high end appliances, clean, nice amenities in the unit for guests to use such as boogie boards, beach chairs etc. Amazing beach even though it's a hike getting back up the stairs, but so beautiful and uncrowded even in the summer. Dolphins put on a show for us several times and it was fun watching the surfers during the high wave advisories. Amazing sunsets. Plenty of supplies like dishwasher detergent etc, you just have to do a bit of searching in cabinets and shelves. Loved having the washer/dryer as well. Appreciated the care put in to the unit to make it feel like home. Great location near restaurants, shops etc in Solana Beach and Del Mar. Easy drive into the city and to other attractions. Cons: Musty when you first walk in bc of lack of AC. We kept the windows and sliding doors open as much as possible. We were comfortable enough sleeping under the ceiling fans, but it was stuffy and musty with all the windows closed at night. Be prepared to possibly wash some blankets, bath mats etc when you arrive. Clearly had not been done in a while. Tiny little ants in the kitchen and some other areas. Do not leave any open food or candy out (we put everything in the fridge upon discovering our little visitors). I communicated the laundry and ant issue to the owner after checkout and did not receive a response. Only hiccup with check-in process was the code to the parking gate did not work. This was remedied by the owner as soon as I messaged her. Not a big deal although a bit concerning when we first arrived and found we could not get into the parking garage after a long day of travel. I have traveled extensively and my family rents a beach condo in various locations almost every summer. This is a 4 star property that could be 5 star with certain modifications. The complex is nice but dated and but could use some updating like new windows etc. Lovely condo in many ways though, and it was very hard to leave that view and balcony on the last day of our trip!

Great views and location
This property was perfect for my family’s needs. We were in town for a soccer event and it offered close proximity to the fields and a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean- an absolutely beautiful view! Well equipped kitchen and w&d were great to have in unit. I would definitely stay here again. The lack of AC took a few days to get used to but we acclimated quickly- it was a wonderful getaway!

Summer family getaway!
Loved being so close to the beach. The view on the ocean is stunning. Coffee in the morning on the balcony is the best. Thanks !

Incredible Views
This is a quirky property with incredible views. Things like uncovered upper windows in the main bedroom, a wonky shower head and broken cabinet doors suggest an older property. The views made up for those inconveniences. The sound of the ocean surf was restorative. The convenient location allowed for a lovely combination of sight seeing and relaxation.

Awesome place and responsive host!
Overall the pictures don't do it justice, it really does have the best views in Solana Beach. The place is very comfortable for 4 people, and the host was responsive to any questions or needs within a few hours. Will definitely stay there again on another trip to this area.

Sea Forever
This is a very nice, comfortable, adequately stocked property in a quiet complex with a beautiful ocean view. We especially appreciated upgraded TVs with good cable access, plenty of seating in the great room/dining room area with an ocean view and, comfortable bed(s) creating a home-away-from-home atmosphere. The owner is very pleasant and considerate.

Amazing!
This was my second year staying in this fabulous home! It is truly a little slice of heaven here on earth. From the comfort of the home itself, to the view and the terrific location it definitely checks all the boxes. If a wonderful beach retreat is what your looking for then this is definitely where you would want to stay. I can't wait to go back!

Perfect location
Check in was a breeze. Maren was very informative and helpful. We love the location with the perfect view. The compound had tennis courts and direct access to a beautiful uncrowded beach. So tennis in the morning and boogie boarding in the afternoon were our daily activities and it never got old. We are looking forward to returning again and again.

Amazing property
Absolutely amazing property. Beautiful views from bedroom and living room... clean, fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Could not have dreamed of staying at a better place. The owner was quick to respond to every question. Check-in, check-out seamless. This place was very reasonably priced and worth every penny. Would definitely return

Ideal for beach goers with young kids
The unit is located right next to stairs that lead down to the beach which makes carrying a two year old, long board, umbrella, sand toys, wetsuits, etc (you get the picture) easily done.
This unit comes with sand toys, umbrella, beach towels, boogie boards, robotic vacuum, fully stocked kitchen – all the fixings for a comfortable family stay.
There’s also a pool which is great for swims inbetween beach sessions.
The property is also a (walkable and stroller friendly) stone’s throw from
the Fletcher Cove playground and CVS.
Would absolutely stay again and highly recommend this property.
