A Wave From It All - SUR42

Property was bright and cheery. We loved the deck and ocean views, but, the outdoor deck furniture needs replacing. The home was comfortable and clean. The security of the gated community was a nice feature for 2 women traveling alone. There are allot of steps, so anyone with physical limitations I would not recommend.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re so glad to hear the home felt bright, cheery, comfortable, and clean, and that you enjoyed the deck and those beautiful ocean views. We also appreciate your note about the outdoor furniture; we’ll be reviewing that with our team. It’s wonderful to know the gated community added peace of mind during your stay. You’re absolutely right that the steps can be challenging for guests with mobility limitations, and we appreciate you mentioning it. We’d love to welcome you back whenever you’re in the area again.

Property location is perfect, the unit is comfortable, views from the deck are terrific and the management staff could not be more accommodating. That said, the unit needs a serious updating and major scrubbing. Even down to the light bulbs, non match the same wattage, only one lamp puts out enough light to brighten up the space. I enjoyed my stay and would choose another unit next time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Solana Beach. Seascape Sur is a great vacation complex/community with a great location to enjoy the beach, sunsets, and other nearby seaside towns and shops.
Stubbs made it easy to reserve a rental property, pick up keys and info on the unit and community and they were always available to answers questions and concerns.
We will definitely use Stubbs again and recommend.
As for our rental unit... we would not rebook or recommend it.
It has a great location for watching the sunset and surfers but there are too many things that need some updating.
The biggest thing is the step up and downs of the raised floor area in the indoor upstairs living area!!
Very weird and dangerous as it’s a huge tripping concern. As able bodied people we maneuvered up and down ok but placed chairs at two of the weird step locations to alert people to the step up and down. Anyone with any mobility issues regarding steps would have a huge problem.
I think this issue should be mentioned to potential renters in the future.
Other updates needed.... Screen repairs, blinds needing replaced , all outdoor furniture and cushions need replaced/ updated.
The plumbing needs some work (maybe some new toilets) as the toilets were always running.
On a positive note, the blue and white colours are lovely and the living room sofa and window bench were comfy and cozy.

Condo was ideally located for ocean view and sunsets. Both bedroom beds were comfortable. Condo was well decorated, but needed some hard cleaning. Outside deck needs to be power washed, very dirty. Living room couch needs to be cleaned. We covered it with towels so the the dirt wouldn’t show.

We had a nice visit, but the vacation rental was just okay. The place was pretty run down and there were basic issues with the place like the screen to the ocean door being broken which meant we couldn’t leave the door facing the ocean open. Also I called ahead of time to see whether the place was family friendly and I would say the layout is incredibly difficult for a family. We had two strollers and there was no place to put them bc the living area is upstairs. The white couch in the place was also incredibly stained and dirty.

Not beachfront, but a beautiful view of the ocean from the comfortable deck off of the living room, and somewhat from the living/dining areas. Unfortunately, no umbrella so you can’t stay out there for long periods. There is a covered patio off of the dining room and the kitchen area which is very comfortable and nice for morning coffee or actually any meal. The bedrooms are very large and beds are comfortable. The closets are large. There is a tv in the master bedroom only. The bathrooms are very clean and good sized. Although the kitchen is good sized and very well stocked, there was a terrible ant problem. I noticed ant traps on the counter when we arrived. I left an apple on the counter overnight and found the entire counter covered in ants the next morning. They were also all over the trash can and a cabinet next to it. I contacted the management company and their response was that ants are to be expected near the beach! They offered to spray, but I declined because of health reasons. They offered more traps, but never brought them. Needless to say we were very unhappy about not being able to use the kitchen at all. Ants were out on the counter and in the sink every day. I felt cheated. The grounds are beautifully maintained. There is a nice, but small pool. It is some distance from the parking spots in the garage to the unit, requiring you to go up stairs, which makes taking your belongings to and from the unit a chore. This place is not handicapped friendly. Overall, we had an okay stay, but I wouldn’t return.

Loved seeing and hearing the ocean. Felt like I had a month of step aerobics. The management Company was very responsive but the HOA is not maintaining the locks and keys. Too many times I had to run around to the garage gate to get into the garage to get luggage in or out. Felt uncomfortable having a white sofa with grandkids. Otherwise the property was well stocked on dishes etc. A toaster would have been nice. Loved the little back patio but it was not clean and the screen kept falling due to the runner not being maintained. The small bath toilet ran constantly. My son in law took it upon himself to just fix it. I would suggest the ice maker be turned off when no guest coming soon. It was a solid block of ice when I arrived. I turned it off when I left. Overall it was a positive experience.

Being from San Diego and having sold our home in November of 2018. We had set out on a 14 month road trip / book tour.
We were in Sedona Arizona and had made a trip to Durango Colorado when David had a medical emergency. His cancer had returned. We came back to San Diego for treatment. Now we needed somewhere to stay and fast.
All I can say is THANK YOU to Stubbs Vacation Rentals and their exceptional staff!!
Jennifer and Jeffrey are AMAZING!! Their expertise, warmth, patience and kindness have meant so much to me during this time.
The rental is perfect. . . Again, exceptional.
Thank you Stubbs Vacation Rentals, because of your establishment, we were blessed with a miracle!
With gratitude,

Jane
