Hacienda Palms - SUR168

Property was as advertised. Clean and well equipped with comfortable beds and a great living/dining area for family meals. Loved the sliding glass doors that opened onto the upper deck and lower patio! Small issue shortly after check-in with a used/dirty towel in the kitchen that the host rectified immediately. Portable A/C unit upstairs in the living room efficiently cooled the property down in the afternoons and early evenings after we returned from daily outings. Great beach access and significantly less busy than others in the area, but be prepared for the many stairs required to get to and from the beach. Washer and dryer were nice, but small and with limited capacity. Great local pizza, gelato, and fish & chips. We plan to come back!

Hacienda Palms was such a relaxing, peaceful escape. I especially enjoyed the waterfalls, beautiful gardens, ocean views, serene spa and pool. Highly recommend for a quiet retreat.

Thank you for the lovely review. We’re so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting and amenities at Hacienda Palms. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back.

Loved the open, airy feel. The view from the balcony is even better than the photos; not an ocean view but stunning and ever-changing with the light! Comfortable furniture and beds, and great artwork. Kitchen is bright, spacious, user-friendly with plenty of counter space. The portable a/c was awesome. All the appliances worked. It's just an easy (ha ha) walk down to the beach, which has been replenished with fresh sand. Pool, hot tub, easy walk/drive to stores and restaurants.

Great Location - Steps from the Beach. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils. Bed were comfortable along with furniture in the unit. Could of used a dining table on the patio. Unit had all beach accessories.

Great property for a family! The home was clean and had everything we needed for our vacation. The complex was quiet and neighbors were so nice. The beach gear was in great shape. The kitchen had all the tools we needed for family meals.

Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad your family had a great stay and found everything you needed for a relaxing vacation. It’s wonderful to hear that the beach gear and kitchen setup worked well for you. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

This condo is an excellent place to stay. It was clean and tidy with modern furniture. Tasteful décor and a great kitchen with everything you need. The primary bedrooms are downstairs and the office upstairs has a small fold-out bed that could accommodate a single adult or two kiddos. Great pool and hot tub, easy beach access.

Our family LOVED our stay at Hacienda Palms & we hope to be back again in the future! We loved the spaciousness, location/short walking distance to SO many places, gorgeous views on property, comfortable beds, artwork & the vibe it created, record player, master bath heater, hot tub & heated pool, and the list goes on...

Stubbs was very helpful too - professional & prompt in communication, and they even helped cart our bags (& stroller and car seat) across the street since we didn't rent a car. I will say I would hesitate to recommend Seascape Sur for anyone who has limited mobility, as hills & stairs are required to access the condo & complex.

Our favorite restaurants were The Naked Cafe, Pizza Port, Lofty Coffee, Station Sushi, and Gelato 101. We look forward to returning again next year!

Location très agréable. Bien située. Loueur très professionnel et arrangeant.
Bon séjour.

We are seasoned VRBO users and would return again. Spectacular, bright, spacious condo, elegantly refurbished and tastefully furnished, likely by interior designers. Fireplace and south-facing patio were welcome during an unusually cold weather pattern. Only drawbacks were an uncomfortable couch in the living area and a little dampness on the sleeping level, most likely due to unusual, rainy weather. Excellent location on an indescribably beautiful beach under the cliffs hosting the condo complex. Stubbs service was great; the staff immediately gave us towels that were missing.

This a lovely and comfortable condo. We rented it for 3 weeks, and wouldn’t hesitate to rent it again. The living room, dining room and kitchen on second floor were great. The furniture was cozy and welcoming. The kitchen had everything we needed for a longer stay. There were plenty of games and books for entertainment.
The beds were really comfortable.
We loved the location of the property. Just steps from access to the ocean. We also fell in love with Solana Beach with lots of great restaurants, shops and grocery stores.
Stubbs Rental was great to work with. We had a couple very minor things (ie. Burned out light bulb, etc) and they were fixed right away.

I would say this is the perfect beach side rental. It's beautifully renovated. The living/dining/kitchen area is very spacious. The second bedroom could be a bit bigger, but there is a lot of storage space. The only downside, and I am sure, this must be temporarily, maybe due to the recent renovation: the first floor is very moist. There were several electric and non-electric de-humidifiers, but still the air was always a bit moist and stuffy (right word?). We tried to air the rooms out as much as possible and it became slightly better through our stay. I hope that with time, this will go away.
The beds are very comfortable. There is an extra matrass if needed. The washer and dryer are premium quality and work perfectly. The kitchen has a lot of counter space and all the pots and pans you can wish for. It's the best equipped kitchen I ever had in a vacation rental. The living/dining area looks exactly like the picture. All rooms have screened windows or doors, so mosquitos are not an issue, neither are spiders. There is a lovely patio at the entrance and a balcony with barbecue on the second floor. The appartment comes with beach chairs and parasols. There's even a yoga mat. Lost of books to read and several games to play.
The neighbourhood is very quiet. The beach is just three minutes and some stairs away. We would love to stay there again.
Stubbs property management was always very helpful. It was a pleasure renting through them

Thank you for your helpful feedback, Marin! We spoke to the owner about the moisture issue and he is actively working on it. He is replacing the dryer which may have had a venting issue that contributed to the humidity. We are glad you enjoyed the property and we look forward to hosting your next stay!

We have stayed at another unit in this complex before. The unit was large, airy and was well stocked with towels, kitchen items, etc... However, the place was not super clean. Our feet and socks became dark quickly from walking around the house without shoes and the sheets had stains (and hair). The property also probably housed some pets before as it still smelled as such. Overall, location was great, complex was nice, but cleanliness can be improved.

Hello Lung, We have found some sheets have scorch marks from being professionally laundered and pressed. We apologize for the dirty floors. This is unacceptable and had we known, we would have sent over our housekeepers to do a touch up and replace the sheets. We will address this with all of our housekeeping teams to prevent this from happening again. There have been no pets in this property since Stubbs began managing it. We do wish you had reached out to us so we could have handled these items right away.

the unit was comfortable and modern with nice amenities associated with the community. it was very close to everything we needed and much more laid back than some of the locations we visited closer to San Diego. the Stubbs staff, particularly Kevin, were all helpful, friendly, and highly responsive. would definitely recommend booking directly through Stubbs rather than vrbo.
