Love Solana Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: This is our 4 rental in Solana Beach and our 2nd stay with Stubbs. Perfect for a family of 4-5. Bummed the pool and hot tub were closed during our stay but the beach access was perfect.
