A perfect vacation!
Review by — April 17th, 2023
Fabulous! We have stayed in this property many times and simply love it! It's a true home away from home. The views, the proximity to town, the activities nearby all make this place the perfect holiday spot.

Lights out at Sunny Side Up
Review by Zachary Z. — July 5th, 2022
This vacation rental had an excellent location and matched the property description very well. The property was clean, well-maintained, and had convenient parking. Unfortunately, during our stay the power went out to our unit. The main breaker for the unit was tripped and needed to be reset. This should not have been a big deal to flip the breaker and get on with the rest of our vacation. The breaker, however, was in a locked room attached to the building. The manager (Stubbs) did not immediately respond, but the owner of the unit showed up to try to help gain access. Stubbs (and maybe the HOA?) continued to try to say we could just flip the breaker and refused to believe the door was locked. The owner was not able to get access to the breaker and we were left the rest of the day and night without any power in the unit. There were no flashlights in the unit and it was a very hot night with no fans. One family member was without their sleeping machine and did not sleep. The power was restored the next day after being out for more than 15 hours. Overall, this was a terrible experience for something so simple as a breaker. Stubbs did apologize profusely and offer a small refund (less than 40% of one night rental fee) in response to the situation.Other small things that could make the property better: -Property lacked on some cooking utensils (no pizza cutter, ice cream scooper)-Property has fairly transparent blinds with sidewalk lights outside the unit, so the window's will not be dark at nightPositives:-Great Parking-Welcome packet and unit binder were thorough with instructions and rules-The available surfboards and boogieboards made our week!-Unbeatable view-Responsiveness of owner-Excellent location-Great neighbors (most of which are permanent residents - not renters)

Thank you for your review, Zachary. We are so sorry the for the after-hours electrical issue. The owner was available to access the fuse box within the unit, but then found that the issue was with at the building level. Only the HOA has access that exterior box and they were not available until the next morning. We do apologize for the disruption. Your suggestions have been noted and flashlights, a pizza cutter and an ice cream scooper have been added to the unit.
amazing view of ocean and amazing condo
Review by Pam V. — April 26th, 2022
The views of the ocean were amazing. The condo was clean, updated, very comfortable, everything we needed. We were very happy with the condo, location, and with Stubbs. It's our second time renting from Stubbs, different condo, but always have been impressed. P.S. loved the bedit.

Review by Deborah K. — April 24th, 2022
Everything about this condo was wonderful. Beautiful updates throughout, very nice furnishings, and the bed in the master bedroom was fabulous, we had the best sleep all week long! The Stubbs Vacation Rental team were one of the best to work with, A+ all around!

Amazing Beach and Ocean Views!
Review by Jane M. — April 3rd, 2022
In my opinion this is a very comfortable unit. Loved the ocean views! If that is your priority this is the place for you! The kitchen was updated and well equipped. The bathrooms have been updated, nice shower, Toto/bidet toilet. Would have appreciated a chair in the master bedroom, a dresser with drawers that open and close without difficulty, and bed linens that fit the bed. The pillows were king size with standard size pillow cases, the “fitted” bed sheet was much too large for the low profile mattress. I was also not happy with the bath towels, Motel 6 quality. That said, this unit was not a disappointment.

Great Location and Property - Unlucky Timing
Review by — March 20th, 2022
This property is in a great location and the property itself is amazing. We were just unlucky with our timing in that the unit below us was under renovation and they spent the entire week we were there putting in a new patio right below our porch. So the porch we paid extra for was pretty much unusable during the day while the workers were working below us. They were nice enough but not something you want when you're on a vacation. We talked to Stubb's about it and were basically told they couldn't do anything for us unless the workers were making too much noise or working outside of the HOA approved hours. It would have been nice to have any sort of support from Stubbs like a discount on the rate, or a care package of some sort, rather than saying they couldn't do much of anything for us. Other than that like I said the property itself was great and had everything we needed and would recommend it to someone else - just hope there isn't a renovation happening nearby during your stay. The remainder of the experience with Stubbs was great and straightforward but just didn't appreciate the lack of support after we paid extra to have a beachfront condo to use the porch.

TERRIBLE rental company. Had two bad experiences with them
Review by Diane S. — January 4th, 2022
The first year we used Stubbs the unit was FILTHY. i. e. dried food and grease on ALL silverware and pots. They called the same people back in to clean that did a terrible job the first time. Nothing was improved. The second year the unit was great but we smelled mold so wanted to move to another unit. They refused, in the rudest way, as the did last year. For these prices boththe units and the customer service should be at least good, if not excellent. Not so. Stubbs struck out twice so if we book with them again we are the fools.

Manager Response:
We are sorry you were disappointed with this unit. The first part of this review has nothing to do with this unit, so we will disregard that. This unit is meticulously maintained by the owner who recently renovated the entire condo. There is no evidence of any mold anywhere in the property. This gorgeous property has 17 reviews aside from this one of which 16 are 5-star. Stubbs strives to provide excellent customer service to all our guests.
Totally awesome home in every way!
Review by Mark W. — December 8th, 2021
The apartment was just as pictured. The view from the deck was amazing. My partner and I spent hours just sitting on the deck. The place was so clean. The bed was so comfortable. The blankets and linens were very high quality. This place is worth the stay. Perfect perfect perfect. I already tried to talk my brother into bringing his wife here for her birthday. I would give it more than 5 stars!!

Will Definitely be staying here again!
Review by Natalie W. — December 3rd, 2021
Absolutely loved this place- I came here with mymom and it was the perfect place for us. Picturesare exactly what the place looked it. Propertymanagement- Stubbs was wonderful to work withand would recommend them to anyone. Lovedhaving a covered parking spot, full kitchen, veryclean place, and very peaceful/quiet area. Theviews are unbelievable- best location north of SanDiego. Great access to the beach- 128 steps toocean or you can walk less than 1/2 mile to a rampto the beach- no steps. Only con I have is thesecond room blinds are see through and as Ifemale felt uncomfortable changing at night. Butthe entire complex seemed super safe with a lot oflocal residents. I can't wait to come back to thisplace!!!

Booked again for next year
Review by Donna B. — November 7th, 2021
Great location, view, and amenities - including linens and comfortable beds. The place is obviously updated and cared for and it shows. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches of having binoculars and surfboards available as well as a well-functioning outdoor grill. Despite lots of fog, we plan to return.

The View Looks Good From Here
Review by Michael W. — April 5th, 2021
This condo is phenomenal. The view from the balcony, kitchen, living room, and master bedroom is stunning. The condo complex is beautiful; the landscaping is so pretty with lots of flowers and streams and waterfalls. The pool is huge and sparkling clean and there are two hot tubs which are also very nice. The kitchen has been updated and is gorgeous with plenty of space and appliances. There are boogie boards and beach chairs and surf boards to use, all in great condition. The linens are so clean and felt so nice. Solana Beach is one of our favorite places and this condo made it even better.

Wonderful Condo
Review by Carol W. — March 5th, 2021
We haven't traveled in over a year but needed to for medical reasons & found this condo. The view alone & waking up to the sounds of the ocean were so healing for me. In addition, it is very clean & well equipped. A trip to nearby Whole Foods & great meals were easily prepared. The bed was very comfortable as well. We will definitely stay here again.

Healing Vacation
Review by Carol W. — March 2nd, 2021
We have not traveled since Covid began but we had to come to Southern California for medical reasons, & this is where we stayed. The condo was the perfect choice. It was so healing to have this beautiful view & the sounds of the ocean during our stay. The property was very clean, the bed was very comfortable, & everything that we needed for cooking was in the kitchen. We sat on the balcony every night & watched the sunset. We also used the convenient access to walk the beach. I am so sad to be leaving this lovely condo. We will definitely return!

Wonderful condo in a great location!
Review by Sandy K. — December 2nd, 2020
Views are amazing! The unit was perfect for my family of 3. Beds were comfortable. Showers and sinks were all good. The cleaning crew could spend a little more time cleaning. The kitchen still had sticky food residue on a few of the cabinet handles, but aside from that, the kitchen had all the amenities you could need. Dishwasher was a little finicky, but, was able to get it to work on one cycle. Having a fireplace was great and easy to use for cool nights. Patio deck was sufficient to enjoy the amazing ocean views. 2nd level was nice because you weren't directly on the walkway. Easy access to parking garage and no stairs to contend with to get to the unit. Overall, this was a great stay. I would absolutely stay here again!

Location, location, location
Review by David B. — November 25th, 2020
My wife and I keep coming back for the ocean view and to hear the ocean waves at night. Otherwise, the accommodations are mediocre, with the new kitchen appliances a plus and the master bath a real negative. We ignore the problems to have the view and sound.
