Spa retreat
Review by Nancy C. — January 29th, 2026
Hacienda Palms was such a relaxing, peaceful escape. I especially enjoyed the waterfalls, beautiful gardens, ocean views, serene spa and pool. Highly recommend for a quiet retreat.

Modern Comfort on the Bluff
Review by Alan M. — September 16th, 2025
Loved the open, airy feel. The view from the balcony is even better than the photos; not an ocean view but stunning and ever-changing with the light! Comfortable furniture and beds, and great artwork. Kitchen is bright, spacious, user-friendly with plenty of counter space. The portable a/c was awesome. All the appliances worked. It's just an easy (ha ha) walk down to the beach, which has been replenished with fresh sand. Pool, hot tub, easy walk/drive to stores and restaurants.

Trusted Getaway Since 1987
Review by Michael — June 30th, 2025
We've been coming here since 1987. The units are nicely equipped and always comfortable. Over the years, we've rented multiple properties and have consistently been impressed. Tyler, Kenvin, and Jenny are courteous, professional, and helpful.

Beach Retreat
Review by Pete Z. — July 27th, 2024
Great property for a family! The home was clean and had everything we needed for our vacation. The complex was quiet and neighbors were so nice. The beach gear was in great shape. The kitchen had all the tools we needed for family meals.

Hacienda Palms- SUR168 EXCELLENT!
Review by — June 19th, 2024
This condo is an excellent place to stay. It was clean and tidy with modern furniture. Tasteful décor and a great kitchen with everything you need. The primary bedrooms are downstairs and the office upstairs has a small fold-out bed that could accommodate a single adult or two kiddos. Great pool and hot tub, easy beach access.

The Best Beach Getaway
Review by Emily H. — May 9th, 2024
My friends and I stayed at Hacienda Palms to celebrate my bridal shower and had the best time! The location cannot be beat with it being only a few steps from the sand, and restaurants/bars. The condo itself is comfortable, relaxing, and outfitted with every amenity you could ever need. We ended up spending the majority of our time either in the condo or on the beach because it was so nice and had everything we needed to relax. We started every morning on the couch with coffee overlooking beautiful views from the balcony, and we had the best night's sleep because the beds were super comfy. One of the best parts was that the condo has every beach toy, umbrella, chairs, etc. that you could ever want, so going to the beach is easy. We also ended up cooking quite a bit, since the kitchen was so nice and had all the tools we needed. We will definitely be coming back. This place is a hidden gem for anyone looking for a San Diego beach getaway!

Spacious, clean, & comfortable
Review by Lacey D. — April 28th, 2024
Our family LOVED our stay at Hacienda Palms & we hope to be back again in the future! We loved the spaciousness, location/short walking distance to SO many places, gorgeous views on property, comfortable beds, artwork & the vibe it created, record player, master bath heater, hot tub & heated pool, and the list goes on... Stubbs was very helpful too - professional & prompt in communication, and they even helped cart our bags (& stroller and car seat) across the street since we didn't rent a car. I will say I would hesitate to recommend Seascape Sur for anyone who has limited mobility, as hills & stairs are required to access the condo & complex.Our favorite restaurants were The Naked Cafe, Pizza Port, Lofty Coffee, Station Sushi, and Gelato 101. We look forward to returning again next year!

Delightful California Getaway
Review by — March 14th, 2023
We are seasoned VRBO users and would return again. Spectacular, bright, spacious condo, elegantly refurbished and tastefully furnished, likely by interior designers. Fireplace and south-facing patio were welcome during an unusually cold weather pattern. Only drawbacks were an uncomfortable couch in the living area and a little dampness on the sleeping level, most likely due to unusual, rainy weather. Excellent location on an indescribably beautiful beach under the cliffs hosting the condo complex. Stubbs service was great; the staff immediately gave us towels that were missing.

Fantastic condo and location
Review by Richard R. — March 9th, 2023
This a lovely and comfortable condo. We rented it for 3 weeks, and wouldn’t hesitate to rent it again. The living room, dining room and kitchen on second floor were great. The furniture was cozy and welcoming. The kitchen had everything we needed for a longer stay. There were plenty of games and books for entertainment. The beds were really comfortable.We loved the location of the property. Just steps from access to the ocean. We also fell in love with Solana Beach with lots of great restaurants, shops and grocery stores.Stubbs Rental was great to work with. We had a couple very minor things (ie. Burned out light bulb, etc) and they were fixed right away.

Beautiful appartment
Review by — October 4th, 2022
I would say this is the perfect beach side rental. It's beautifully renovated. The living/dining/kitchen area is very spacious. The second bedroom could be a bit bigger, but there is a lot of storage space. The only downside, and I am sure, this must be temporarily, maybe due to the recent renovation: the first floor is very moist. There were several electric and non-electric de-humidifiers, but still the air was always a bit moist and stuffy (right word?). We tried to air the rooms out as much as possible and it became slightly better through our stay. I hope that with time, this will go away.The beds are very comfortable. There is an extra matrass if needed. The washer and dryer are premium quality and work perfectly. The kitchen has a lot of counter space and all the pots and pans you can wish for. It's the best equipped kitchen I ever had in a vacation rental. The living/dining area looks exactly like the picture. All rooms have screened windows or doors, so mosquitos are not an issue, neither are spiders. There is a lovely patio at the entrance and a balcony with barbecue on the second floor. The appartment comes with beach chairs and parasols. There's even a yoga mat. Lost of books to read and several games to play.The neighbourhood is very quiet. The beach is just three minutes and some stairs away. We would love to stay there again.Stubbs property management was always very helpful. It was a pleasure renting through them

Thank you for your helpful feedback, Marin! We spoke to the owner about the moisture issue and he is actively working on it. He is replacing the dryer which may have had a venting issue that contributed to the humidity. We are glad you enjoyed the property and we look forward to hosting your next stay!
San Diego Soccer Vacation
Review by — July 4th, 2022
the unit was comfortable and modern with nice amenities associated with the community. it was very close to everything we needed and much more laid back than some of the locations we visited closer to San Diego. the Stubbs staff, particularly Kevin, were all helpful, friendly, and highly responsive. would definitely recommend booking directly through Stubbs rather than vrbo.

Amazing time!
Review by Tad — May 16th, 2022
My wife and I had an amazing time in Solana Beach, and we loved staying at the Hacienda Palms. The location and weather was perfect for our getaway. The condo was clean and updated - all the furnishings were new - we later found out we were the first ones to stay there. It was great being able to walk to the beach, restaurants, and the grocery store. The condo was also super close to Del Mar and La Jolla as well. The condo had a well stocked kitchen, plenty of beach chairs and towels, which was a great convenience to lighten our already heavy suitcases. Definitely would stay again!

Highly Recommend!
Review by Stephanie W. — May 9th, 2022
I have stayed at The Hacienda Palms twice, once for a girl's weekend and the other with my teenagers, both times were so much fun! We hung out on the balcony with coffee or wine, walked down to the beach. The condo had beach chairs, towels, etc. I highly recommend if you are looking for the perfect getaway close to the beach yet convenient to everything you need. We will be making this a tradition!
