Reviewer Comments:
Found the property last minute and it was perfect! Great communication and easy checkin process. Starter kits were a plus. No parking or AC with the unit but were manageable. Lots of on street parking mostly a challenge during load in/out. Cannot beat the view and location. Will be back.

Great, great, great! This condo was very clean, organized, and had everything we needed. My wife and I spent a week here soaking in the relaxing atmosphere, getting great sleep, and eating wonderful fresh seafood. We love Solana! Solana Beach is a magical community. We walk everywhere. The beach is amazing and perfect for the photography lovers! We always book with Stubbs and already have another trip booked in July at another Stubbs managed property.
