Great place with great views! It was a perfect getaway.

This was our first time staying at the DMBC and Christine & Rick's unit was fantastic. We spent hours on the balcony watching and listening to the surf and sea life...so relaxing! The unit was quiet, spacious and equipped with everything we needed. The private stairs to the beach gave us easy access to hours of lounging in the comfy beach chairs provided by our hosts. We will definitely look to stay again on our next trip to the area. Thanks Christine & Rick for a great stay!

Nice beach location with 180 degree ocean/sunset views. Owners are exceptionally responsive to any needs/questions. Dog friendly unit and dog friendly beach. Owners provide beach chairs (really good ones!), umbrella, boogie boards, and sand toys for the children. Overall excellent experience. Would book again.

Del Mar Beach Club is the best place to stay in the area. We have stayed in the complex before and this unit has the best location / view out of the short-term rentals. Pictures / description on VRBO are accurate. Definitely will be back!

The location is perfect. We enjoyed the private beach with our dog and the ocean views from the condo. Host was very responsive and quick to provide support. Can’t wait to return next summer!

We really enjoyed our stay. The oceanfront condo is on the third of four floors, so it has an amazing view of the ocean and the beach below. We saw dolphins on our last full day, and loved seeing and hearing the waves in the background during our whole stay. The pictures are accurate. The tile floor, furniture, and art give it a high-end look, with a long comfortable couch. The kitchen is very well-stocked, exceeding my expectations, and the beach closet has all the beach equipment you would want or need. The rooms feel even bigger than the pictures. There is an elevator from the parking spots in the garage. There are two tennis/pickleball courts and multiple pools in the complex, and you can walk right down steps from the condo to the beach below. If steps are a problem, the Cardiff State Beach is 5 minutes north by car, and is level with the parking lot there and very nice. There is also a Coastal Beach Rail Trail a block from the condo, that you can walk on to the Solana Beach Design District to window shop, or beyond. Rick and Christine were very easy to work with and answered questions promptly. We would definitely recommend this property.

Beautiful Condo-looks just like the Photos on VRBO! Kitchen has everything you need for preparing meals. Condo is very clean. Washer & Dryer are very nice. Great walk-in closet with plenty of storage space. Roll down blinds in living room good condition. Owners are very helpful. Deck is great w/nice seating area & barbecue. Underground parking is very helpful.

This condo has a spectacular 180 degree view of the Pacific. The condo was spacious, clean and well equipped. There is easy access to the beach and a number of very good restaurants nearby. We would definitely recommend and look forward to staying here in the near future.

This condo has amazing views and is very well equipped for a stay on the ocean. Communication with the hosts was great and check-in very easy. It was a pleasure to sit on the deck and watch the sunset in the evenings.

My wife and I booked Rick & Christine's Solana Beach Condo in August 2021. The condo is ocean front with amazing views ! Steps down to a semi private beach. Exactly how presented on VRBO. Along with the awesome views the condo is very conveniently located near many great restaurants in Solana Beach & Del Mar. We had a great, relaxing week ! Loved it so much we're already booked for 2022 !

I enjoyed the view and the weather. Condo was very nice.

Spent a week at this fantastic condo. Within minutes to shops, restaurants, wonderful beach right out door. Gorgeous sunsets. Hosts were easy to work with and responsive. Definitely will stay again

Amazing views off of the balcony, super comfortable, great hosts.

We had a wonderful week at this property. From the moment you walk in the door, the views are breathtaking! We have never stayed oceanfront so this was a treat for us. The stairs right down to the beach right outside the unit were awesome! We have stayed in San Diego on several occasions and had to drive around for half an hour to try to get beach access! The condo was well equipped and it was great to be able to cook and dine on the deck overlooking the ocean! The chairs, boogie boards and cooler were such a convenience for our beach days! We had great communication with our hosts and would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay

Thanks!

While the location and view are fabulous, the condo is outdated. Examples include a stove that appears to be from the 70's, the ice maker was very loud, dishwasher also loud, bathroom towel cabinet without handles. In general, very dated and old inside. Lastly, if you wish to enjoy the beach, but cannot handle many steps, there are 132 steps from the unit front door down to the beach.

We enjoyed our time at the beach

We so enjoyed our week in this lovely condo with ocean view. We were able to stay socially distant while enjoying every minute at the beach with our kids. Close to everything and everything we needed close at hand. Thank you Christine and Rick.

This condo is in a great location. The beach has the softest sand, even though you must take 50 steps to get there. It is an amazing beach to be at with a dog. Then at night, the sounds of the ocean will lull you to sleep.

This unit was so perfectly located for our vacation. We were able to enjoy, see and hear the beach 24/7. The fans in each room were so handy and the furnishings were perfect. We so appreciate the cleanliness and the furnishings. The property owners responded to all questions quickly...and the rollaway was very comfy for our grandchild. Thank you Christine and Rick!

Amazing full-on view of the ocean grabbed us from the get-go. The condo is clean, comfortable, well appointed, and quite spacious. The hosts, Rick and Christine provided all the information needed for easy check-in and check-out and any other information we needed was simple to locate. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Our family came out to stay by the ocean, and we wanted oceanfront views and easy beach access. We got both and were very pleased sitting on the balcony enjoying the sights and sounds of the ocean surf and beautiful beach all hours of the day and night. My husband and I were also working during the day, and our son had online school, and the wifi worked great for all of us. After work and school, we went out to the beach. We appreciated the beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrella and boogie boards. The condo met our needs and satisfaction, we cooked meals and had what we needed, but also great restaurants in the area that were within walking distance or a short drive. The area is lovely and very safe and family friendly. The condo is clean and well appointed, we were very comfortable. Fans and TV's in every room. Very spacious for our family. The outside property is well landscaped and maintained, has several pools and a gym, although they were closed during our stay. The neighbors are very friendly, and if you have dogs, this is the place to be! Very dog friendly property and beach, we loved it! Everyone was friendly and courteous and most wore masks and/or kept socially distant. We had a great stay. Christine and Rick were great to communicate with and made our stay very comfortable. We would definitely stay with them again.

We live in Arizona and it was nice to get out of the heat. Although we were still in quarantine we had walks on the beach and a beautiful view to relax too. Hopefully we can get back there in the future.

Fantastic week at the beach. Awesome ocean views, gorgeous beaches and everything you need to enjoy them. I hope to stay again sometime soon.

From the moment you walk into this condo the ocean is your constant companion. The view truly is world class, and instilled us with peace and gratitude, whether we were in the kitchen or living room. And the deck is spectacular. We ate all our meals out there, and it is an epic spot for reading, coffee, card games, etc. The condo was more than enough space for our family of four, including a 10-yr-old and 7-yr-old. The kids loved boogie boarding and playing in the sand. Easy to hit the beach and walk back up the stairs for meals or to grab beach gear and snacks. Aside from grocery and takeout runs - and daily tips to Handel’s ice cream - we spent the entire week in the condo and on the beach. We will be back!

Our stay at the condo was amazing! Awesome ocean views, gorgeous beaches and everything you need to enjoy them. I hope to stay again sometime soon.

I truly can’t think of anything other than fantastic. Rick and Christine’s place was absolutely wonderful and the care they took to make sure we were comfortable was unbelievable. Particularly during such a unique time dealing with the uncertainty of COVID - the condo was immaculate. Through the duration of our stay, I traded a few messages with Christine (who was incredibly prompt) and any question we had or help needed seemed to happen immediately. We will absolutely keep their place in mind for future visits.

I really hate to rate the property so high as it will make it hard to get back in. The location is fantastic! Balcony gave a great view of the ocean and you could hear the waves all night. We used the health club and the tennis court, took full advantage of the beach. Is nice to cook your own meals and have the wine you like while looking out over the ocean.

We knew very little about Solana Beach when we booked Rick and Christine’s great apartment - we were just looking for an oceanfront spot close to San Diego. As it turns out, Solana Beach is an amazing little beach town, with a great little main drag that includes a brewery and a winery and lots of little shops! The apartment itself is perfect for a beach-side stay. The pictures are very accurate of the view you have - you can watch the pacific as you prepare your dinner! The complex is great for kids. Though there are several pools, only one is heated. We visited in June before it gets hot enough to be able to comfortably use the other pools. Del Mar is a pleasant 35 minute walk away. We took surfing lessons a couple of times during our stay and there are restaurants there as well. A note to others considering visiting the coast in Southern California in late spring -early summer: beware May Grey and June Gloom (and apparently sometimes in July and August too!). Almost every day starts with low clouds that sometimes break in the afternoon and sometimes don’t. Not what many of us picture when we think about SoCal!

Beautiful view, nice location, owners were very responsive.

This was the perfect beach vacation, great condo with a fantastic view of the beach which is right in your backyard. Great amenities, pool, jacuzzi, fitness center. Easy access to shops and fine dinning. We will definitely be returning to this paradise.
