Great apartment in excellent location

         
Review by — February 9th, 2026
The apartment is in an excellent location - the complex has a nice relaxed feel and the people we met there were very friendly, it felt very secure. The apartment is very well fitted out and equipped and was a very comfortable and pleasant place to spend time. The parking was excellent.
5 out of 5 stars
Manager Response:
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the location, the friendly atmosphere, and the comfort of the apartment. We’d love to welcome you back anytime.

Excellent service and highly recommended

         
Review by Michael P. — October 10th, 2025
I booked a unit through Stubbs and unfortunately the next door unit started building work the day I arrived. Kevin at Stubbs quickly moved me to an alternative unit . The service was excellent in the circumstances as this was clearly not their fault but in any case they accommodated me and I enjoyed my stay. I would definitely use them again. Mike
5 out of 5 stars
Manager Response:
Thank you so much, Mike! We're truly sorry for the unexpected construction next door, but we're glad Kevin was able to step in quickly and find you a great alternative. Your kind words mean a lot, and we’re thrilled you still enjoyed your stay. We’d be honored to welcome you back anytime!

Love Solana Beach

         
Review by — August 1st, 2025
This is our 4 rental in Solana Beach and our 2nd stay with Stubbs. Perfect for a family of 4-5. Bummed the pool and hot tub were closed during our stay but the beach access was perfect.
5 out of 5 stars

Nice condo on the beach

         
Review by Peter W. — January 3rd, 2025
 We had a great stay on Solana Beach at this well appointed condo. Pool and hot tub were great to have. Beach access was easy and convenient. Condo provided everything you needed. Staff was helpful and friendly. Would rent again. /pc
