Wonderful property and location!

We had an amazing stay at Stephanie’s place! The home is beautifully remodeled with a clean, coastal feel. It was spacious and comfortable for our group of five, with all the essentials we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location is ideal: just a short walk to great restaurants, coffee shops, a spa, yoga, and more. The beach is only five minutes away, with breathtaking views from the bluffs. The complex itself is quiet and well-kept, with great amenities like a pool, hot tub, and tennis courts. Stephanie was a wonderful host—she was very easy to contact and quickly responded to all my questions prior to our stay. We would definitely love to stay here again!

Even better than advertised! Lovely interiors with a breezy beachy feel, perfect for its location. The unit is just a quick walk from the front door to the ocean front. There are two pools, we frequented one of them with a hot tub and plenty of deck chairs to lay in the sun. Beds/pillows were comfortable, kitchen had all the basic necessities, wifi was strong, plenty of beach towels & amenities such as chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, etc. We stayed as a family of four with two teenagers, plenty of space for them to relax inside and out including a cute balcony area that provided sun and shade. I'd highy recommend staying here!

Here’s a polished version:We absolutely adored our stay! Stephanie was an attentive, genuinely kind, and helpful host, and she made everything easy from start to finish.The space was clean, spacious, well stocked, and very comfortable. It was clear that Stephanie put a lot of thought into the details, and it made our stay with a family of six, including four kids ages 1 to 10, feel easy and fun. The home had so many thoughtful family-friendly touches, including a travel crib, baby gates, baby locks, outlet covers, corner protectors, and a high chair. Our kids also loved having boogie boards and sand toys available.The community itself was quiet, well maintained, and easy to navigate. We visited the beach, pools, hot tubs, and local restaurants daily, and everything felt convenient and accessible.Solana Beach is such a gem, and this was truly one of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed in. It was a wonderful place for a family with young kids, and we would happily stay here again.

I am thrilled to read that you enjoyed your stay and the family-friendly items at the property. I love traveling and making memories with my family and am so happy you were able to do the same. You were fantastic guests — great communicators, respectful of all house/community rules, and left the home in pristine condition. (A huge feat for a family with four kids!) I would be thrilled to host your family again. Thank you so much for the lovely review!

About the host

Host profile image

I'm a San Diego native with a huge love for travel. When I'm not residing in this home, I'm exploring the world with my son!

Why they chose this property

This community provides incredible access to the best of all worlds -- steps from the beach, great restaurants and shops, and proximity to the freeways if you'd like to explore beyond Solana Beach.

What makes this property unique

Community is on the bluffs overlooking the ocean and my unit is adjacent to the beach path, making it super easy to get to the beach multiple times/day (sunset is amazing!) and still super accessible to shopping and dining.
