Great Stay at Once Upon a Tide
Another great stay in Solana Beach. We appreciated the upgrades made to SBTC312, new windows, flooring and furniture were great! Stubbs was great to work with as always and we had fabulous weather to top it off!

Decent rental with million dollar view
We were staying a few days on spring break and this unit was very reasonably priced. The complex is well cared for, however it could use some better wayfarer signage. I thought it was difficult to find the unit at 3 am when we wearily arrived from a full day of travel in the middle of the night. The building has a different number on the exterior, so that was super confusing to us.I would return but the bedding and decor could use some updating. There were teeny ants that were on the counters and floor of the guest bedroom. The Stubbs office was super friendly to give us a few traps which took care of the ants and some extra beach towels. The area is a great pivot point to see many attractions.

Perfect beach location
Lovely location, well equipped condo with beautiful views and nice grounds. Very comfortable and extremely clean.We found even though it’s dates part of the charm. The only down side, no beach chairs and the gates did not work consistently for entry.

Dated but doable
This condo is nicely situated in the Solana Beach area near restaurants and shopping but the unit is dated. The Tennis Club provided amenities but the hot tub was in need of cleaning and at least one of the tennis courts should be converted to pickleball courts.

Manager Response:
Thank you for your review! We're glad you liked the location near restaurants and shopping. We appreciate your feedback about the unit and the hot tub; however, please note that the HOA manages the hot tub and tennis courts, so we have no control over those aspects. Your suggestions are valuable, and we hope to welcome you back for an improved experience!Paradise at the beach
Completely unwind and relax at the beachfront while unceasingly watching the waves ebb and flow night and day!!!! Do this at a comfortable, third floor condo inside or outside on the deck!!!!

Beautiful View
The condo itself isn’t all that spectacular. It’s nice. Very well equipped with all you need, just add food! The view was nothing short of spectacular.There were only a few downsides for me.The master bed was way too firm. That’s a matter of choice.The second bedroom was hot. Only way to cool it down was to leave master windows open at let the fresh air flow through. We made the best of it.Electrical needs to be updated. Few outlets available.My only other issue was a text I received stating unit was available an extra day at discounted rate. When I asked for late checkout, the best that could be done was for 2 hours at $50. If the u it was not rented out, didn’t understand why it was so costly to stay an extra 4 hours.Nice place. Close to a lot. View was second to none.

Beautiful oceanfront location
We had a very nice week in the unit in Mid-October. Unit location is perfect, and it is exactly as described on the site. Checking in and out was very easy and fast. Kitchen is fully equipped, and you have anything you may need to cook a large meal or a quick snack. Does have some basic supplies to start.It was clean and ready, and we had no issues with that part of the rental. Please note that it is an older complex and its age can be noticed in the appliances and bathroom fixtures, but everything worked fine. Really appreciated STUBBS response to a plumbing problem we had in the kitchen – it was resolved very quickly and to our complete satisfaction. Looking forward to a future stays

Another lovely beach vacation
Once again, we thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Solana Beach and Tennis Club. You certainly cannot beat the location. The condo was lovely and it is such a treat to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean waves. We love to boogie board at the beach, walk to the gym and stores and restaurants, and enjoy the pool too!
