Great Fall Escape in Sunny Solana Beach
We spent a wonderful week at Sea La Vie in beautiful Solana Beach/Del Mar. It was a return to our favorite Southern California region, having lived in Poway for seven years previously. The location was ideal with easy access to Del Mar, Encinitas, La Jolla, Interstate 5, and all the other wonderful places in the San Diego area. The condo overlooked Solana Beach with a location where daily from sunup to sundown, surfers filled the sea and dogs from nearby dog beach chased one another in and out of the waves. The condo (with covered parking) was very accessible from Via de la Valle, and also had a beautiful pool, hot tub and easy access to the beach. The condo was fully furnished, including beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys (if you have kiddos) and anything else needed for a great day at the beach. We like to cook, and enjoyed all the kitchen amenities. There were a couple of cabinets that needed a little work on the latches and a sliding screen door that kept jumping its track, but the view and the attached balcony made those small flaws easy to overlook. Ceiling fans in the bedroom and living room helped on the warmer days, so beware that there is no AC if you there when heat is expected. The location did provide some great ocean breezes. Even though some of the condo felt a little dated, it was clean, the initial supply of paper towels, etc., was sufficient for the week and free access to the complex's laundry was a nice added benefit. It was also nice knowing the management team was just up the street should we have any special issues (which we did not!) Sea La Vie was a wonderful escape in a beautiful location!

Location, location
This was a comfortable, nicely located one-bedroom unit from which guests can both enjoy ocean views and easily access the pool and beach. It was well-equipped. We would rent it again, maybe for two weeks, though the rates for the same time next year appear to be increasing by over 1/3. The cleaning regimen could be improved a bit; e.g., bedroom rug and closet had significant dirt on and in them. I understand the owners will be renovating the unit. While it may be considered slightly tired, the unit is after all a beach “house,” which shouldn’t be held to the same standard as other rentals.

Beautiful and Relaxing Week Away
What a beautiful and perfect place to stay! From the incredible view to the amazing proximity to the ocean/beach to the attention from Stubbs (the rental company), we enjoyed every minute of our stay. We highly recommend Sea La Vie (and Stubbs).

Definitely coming back!
We stayed in this rental for a week, and absolutely will do it again. Fantastic location, spectacular view, quiet area. The condo was extremely well stocked with everything you could possibly want. The Stubbs rental staff were incredibly receptive and helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this unit, as well as working with Stubbs Vacation Rentals. We'll be back next year!

More Than We Were Looking For
Bo had experienced a software issue that had a slight impact on us. To our supreme delight Bo did everything he could and over delivered on getting this little glitch to be nothing and ultimately, because of his service, my family and I had a fantastic stay at the place. Thanks Bo!

Enjoyable stay in San Diego.
There used to be a standing fan that could be used in the bedroom. It is now gone. The bedroom gets very stuffy without it. It would be great to have it back, or a ceiling fan. Two of the small light bulbs above the mirror were burned out. Made it more challenging to put makeup on. If you have any rentals with air conditioning, let me know. It gets rather damp and a little stuffy without it. This is a minor detail, but the hot tub is uncomfortably hot, almost burning. Just an FYI.

Beautiful Oceanfront Condo
This was a beautifully appointed condo with a spectaculer view of the Pacific Ocean just outside our Living Room window. We enjoyed the cool ocean breezes and the sound of the breaking waves from our oceanfront balcony. The kitchen was completely stocked with all necessary dishes and untensils. There was an abundant supply of immaculate bed linens and towels. It was a pleasure to stay in this unit. Our only complaints were a "too-soft" king-size mattress, and a non-functional sofa bed with a slipcover full of animal hairs that we suspect to be cat hairs. This was a problem because of allergies. Everything else was clean and neat and quite lovely.

DMST17 for US Open
We rented this unit for our visit to the US Open Golf Tournament. View from the front room and balcony was excellent; my wife enjoyed watching the ocean surf and it was refreshing to hear the soft roar of the ocean. We could walk to the bus stop which took us to Torrey Pines. Amenities of the unit were very good. I would recommend this unit to my friends.
