Live the Dream in Solana Beach with Ocean Views & a Short Stroll to the Beach
This sunny, oceanfront home with views of the beautiful Pacific Coast is just a short stroll from Fletcher Cove, one of the best beaches in Southern California. Enjoy all the comforts and conveniences of this upscale, fully-stocked home while having everything at your fingertips including a heated oceanfront pool, hot tub, tennis and pickleball courts. This is all within walking distance to Cedros Avenue where you will find so many great local shops, restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, an urban winery and the infamous Belly Up concert venue. Don’t miss the year-round farmers market featuring delicious food trucks and produce from local farmers every Sunday on Cedros Avenue.
Welcome to your home away from home, where all your cares will melt away. This gorgeous, spacious 3 bedroom, 3 full bath condo is right on the threshold of Solana Beach - listen to the waves as serene background noise from morning until night, and walk to so many great amenities this gem of a town has to offer. Located within the highly sought-after Surfsong complex, a secured, gated community with resort-style living, this condo takes a front seat to the beauty of the Pacific Ocean. When you're not lounging about the pool taking in the gorgeous view, or relaxing in the hot tub, get a few rounds of tennis or pickleball at one of the private courts. Take a stroll down the beach, where you'll find miles and miles of shoreline in each direction. Throw on your hiking shoes or bring your bikes to take advantage of miles of local lagoon trails and the Rail Trail that connects to Downtown Encinitas. Ocean toys, boogie boards, beach towels and beach carts are available for guest use. This property offers the best of both worlds to the introvert and extrovert within each of us. A peaceful serene getaway connected to nature where you can turn off the outside world. And also in the heart of this charming beach town where you can plug into a multitude of activities and strike up conversations with the friendly locals.
Inside you'll find a bright interior flooded with natural light. A great deal of thoughtful consideration has been invested into this home to ensure our guests have the most comfortable stay possible. The bluff-side park accessible from the main bedroom is private and picturesque, a perfect spot for sipping a cup of wine while watching the spectacular California sunset. Gather around the large TV for a cozy movie night while enjoying the open floor plan to carry on conversations from the kitchen and dining area. Prepare elaborate meals or on-the-go snacks in the large fully equipped kitchen with state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances. There are plenty of places to rest your head with extra comfortable beds and high-quality linens, along with roomy bathrooms with large showers, tubs, and double-sink vanities.

Loved the ocean views, heated pool, beach equipment, and comfy linens/beds.
We enjoyed our first time to this neighbourhood and really loved the condo property amenities. We didn't realize there would be sand toys, a wagon, pickle ball equipment and boogie boards x 2 so this was a wonderful surprise. The condo was really comfortable and spacious but the number of ants surprised us. We kept the kitchen really clean, but they would show up in the bathrooms, the walk-in closet shelves, and the front hallway. They were tiny, and not harmful, but the kids didn't like them in the home. I've seen other reviews for other properties in the area discussing ants, so I'm sure its a challenging issue for owners to tackle. When we were there we noticed a sign on the property saying the pool isn't heated during the winter months, so if that is important to you I recommend clarifying for your stay.

Beautiful, comfortable ocean stay
This unit was the perfect 3bdrm, 3 bath ocean view for three adults. It was well decorated, comfortable, clean and had all the amenities - well stocked kitchen, beach chairs, towels, fans - beautiful, large master bedroom. The managers were immediately responsive if we had minor issues. Complex smaller so quieter and feels newer. Post office begins early so that was noisy for bedrooms facing, but my only complaint. would highly recommend.

Better than the luxury resort we stayed in last year
We love visiting San Diego and usually stay at a fancy resort in the La Costa area. This beach condo was better. It had all the trimmings of luxury accommodations (plush towels, premium bedding, etc.), but it's also HUGE, on the bluff/beach, and feels more like you're staying at a friend's vacation home (a friend that has very good taste). The location is awesome as others have noted. The hot tub has very strong jets, and the pool is decent for a condo complex. The great room and master suite both have high-end 4k big-screen TVs with Sonos/Bose sound systems/speakers (you can use your Netflix login on the smart TVs). Parking is on the first floor and getting right up to the condo is super easy. The kitchen was stocked with lots of extras (don't worry about bringing the basics like oil, herbs/spices, coffee, etc.). My wife is a bit of a clean freak (ok, so am I). We're both a bit sensitive/allergic so we liked the fact that it's a no-pets, no-smoking place. Even the throws felt like they had just been cleaned. Micah and Alyssa are super friendly/attentive. Highly recommend. I know where we'll be staying next year!!

Needs cleaning
This property is in a nice location and is well decorated. Solana Beach is beautiful, with great shopping and restaurants. Unfortunately, this unit needs a deep cleaning. Carpets were dirty, bathrooms are full of mold. Towels and bed linens need a good wash before the stay. Everything felt damp and dirty. Partly this is because the unit does not have a/c and this area is quite humid. I asked the owner about this prior to my stay and was assure that there would be adequate ocean breeze and fans in the unit. The fans were gross - covered in dust and hair. I really didn’t want to use them. The ocean breeze didn’t really blow into the unit in any way sufficient to cool or dry out the humidity. And it wasn’t even hot when we were there (not above 80 really). It made our stay unpleasant. The carpet is sticky. There is black mold in the showers, the washing machine, etc. the dishes were dirty when we arrived. The property needs a lot of cleaning and attention to warrant the rate we paid.
