The Solana beach condo is in an excellent location, perched above the bluffs and beach just north of Del Mar with great walking access to restaurants and shops. The unit itself is off the street so there is some noise and limited light and airflow, but the on-site pool and hot tub are very close, the parking is easy, and the development itself is charming and very convenient. The condo is large and nicely spread out for a family or small group, and it has many conveniences (laundry, extra bedding, beach chairs and towels, stocked kitchen). The only drawbacks for us were the lack of air-conditioning (which probably only matters in the hottest weeks of summer) and the somewhat dated beds and bathrooms. But overall, the decor is cheery and attractive, and this condo is a great option for the price point given its waterfront address, amenities and size. Cynthia was very responsive, communicative and helpful.
