Another nice stay at SUR116

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed at this location many times over the years. The location is perfect with a top floor view of the ocean, waves, and beach. Access to the beach is very easy with showers at the top of the stairs. The furniture and appliances and blinds are a bit dated. The afternoon sun really heats the place up with no AC. Compared to the other properties nearby overall we enjoy this one the most which is why we keep coming back.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Sept 2026

Thank you for being such a loyal guest and for sharing your experience. We’re glad you continue to enjoy the top‑floor ocean views and easy beach access, it truly is a special spot. We appreciate your feedback on the furnishings and afternoon heat, and we’ll be sure to share those notes with the owner. It means a lot that, even with those details, this remains your favorite place to stay. We look forward to welcoming you back again.

Fantastic Views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The views were fantastic. Very nice comfortable unit. The fans in the unit need a cleaning but all else was very nice. Parking for two cars underneath. Very security conscious condo complex. absolutely gorgeous landscaping on the property from the private stream to the ponds with fish and the pool and jacuzzi. Very unusual plant life (I still don't know the type of trees). Would recommend this unit!!

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Sept 2026

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the fantastic views, comfortable unit, and the beautifully maintained grounds, the landscaping truly is something special. We appreciate your note about the fans and will make sure our team addresses it. Happy to hear the parking and security made your stay even better. We’d love to welcome you back again.

Liked: Location

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy

Although the location is great and the views from the balcony are absolutely amazing, this place is very outdated and needed deep cleaning and updates. We had to spend half a day just to wash dishes for the kitchen. Everything is very old and has gathered dust and dirt over the wear from many years. We put linen over the furniture to make it feel a little more fresh. Additionally we had problems with ants, broken blinds, and on top of it you get a long list of things you are not allowed to do and associated penalties. We believe these comments are consistent with some of the other reviews. Not a place to stay if you want a modern, fresh and clean experience.

Overall happy, but be aware

We had a wonderful 8 night stay here. The view cannot be beat and that was the most important thing for us. So, we are overall very happy. That said, be aware that this unit is a bit beat up. There were electrical outlets that didn't work, an outdoor door that didn't open, and a other things not being listed here. The furniture and carpeting are quite worn out, saggy, and mostly uncomfortable. Important cleaning was good (kitchen counters and bathrooms), but we found some surprises . Bedrooms were comfortable and the bedding was nice. A little inexpensive love would make this place amazing. Stubbs replaced a broken patio chair and provided a long electrical cord, so we could use the lamps in the living room that needed the broken outlets to use. The other issues I guess are the owner's. If the view is what you care about, this place will make you happy.

Beautiful View, good location. Dated Unit

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit does have a beautiful ocean view and easy access to the beach. It is conveniently located and walkable to restaurants and services. However, the unit is in serious need of updating, particularly with respect to the stained carpets and cratered living room furniture. We had several insect bites from sitting on the living room couch. We used bed coverings and towels to cover the furniture and purchased a hall runner to cover part of the carpet. The unit is poorly insulated and this made for difficult sleep during a San Diego summer "heatwave". The provided fans didn't compensated adequately. We purchased a room AC unit so we could get decent sleep. Happily, the master bedroom mattress was a good one, while the second bedroom mattress was acceptable. Window coverings did not really block nighttime light well. There was no screen on the main patio sliding door which made ventilation risky. While the ocean breeze was cool, the design of the unit did not allow airflow from the beach side of the unit to the bedrooms. The staff at Stubbs was consistently sympathetic to our needs and supportive of our efforts to make the unit livable. That was much appreciated and we would recommend their services, if not this particular unit.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 July 2026

Not what you think

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property unit was very disappointing. I thought I was renting what I saw online. What I got was dirty carpets, kitchen floors with ants and sticky substance under a rug, a broken pocket door in the guest bathroom, dirty furniture that we had to cover with sheets to sit on. I could go on but please do not rent this, you will be disappointed. Managment company told me they can't get the owners to clean the carpets. The only good thing, was the view. Outside furniture just as bad as inside. But had to make the most of it. Like the area but NOT this unit.

A value unit with great ocean views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property description was accurate. Stubbs provided excellent cleaning and management. Some pictures are not updated. 2nd bedroom now has a queen bed but picture and description shows a smaller double bed. A great property in general with some owner upgrades needed so this can be a level up on the Stubbs rating system. Vertical blinds throughout are in disrepair and give little privacy in the bedrooms. The blinds fall to the floor constantly & have scotch tape holding them up. We hung towels where some were missing, as the neighbors can look into bedroom. The grill needs to be replaced or replace the unusable rusted grate. We bought a replacement grate for our use. We bought new pillows for our use, they were stained. We also bought 2 frying pans as they were in rough shape. All the screens in the unit need to be replaced. Buying the few items we needed for our 22 days made our stay really nice. The location, bathrooms,parking garage,appliances,ocean view, beach access and condo gardens are really nice. They had 4 floor fans which gave a nice breeze.

Repeat customer, repeat perfect trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second year staying a week Above the Waves. This time the grandkids came for a few days and a trip to Legoland. It was during one of the unusual hot spells which was great for the beach but a bit warm inside the unit since no A/C. Many more pros than cons. PROS: Stubbs service was fantastic, view incredible, kid friendly beach just a few stairs away, market and restaurants within walking distance, gated garage, plenty of running and riding trails, beach chairs, boogey boards, umbrellas, towels provided, and more. CONS: unit a bit dated, fridge door full of grease/rust, unit is warm with afternoon sun. Pros far out weigh the cons.We will be back.

It’s a great location, amazing view, beds comfortable and unit pretty clean. If someone would just spend a little time to purchase some basic (new) kitchen items, spend a little on seating, especially patio it would go a long ways
