This condo was clean, comfortable,quiet and well located. Nearby steps led to the beach and a dog off leash beach only a few minutes walk away. We could walk to nearby restaurants and shops. The hosts were responsive to any requests. It was great to have beach items supplied as well. We would definitely recommend staying at this condo.

Very Nice Stay at the Beach

We had a lovely vacation at the Sanctuary. Very close to the beach and the shops and restaurants in Solana Beach and convenient to San Diego. The kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms were well appointed and had everything we needed. It is also quiet and private. There are stairs up to the kitchen and dining room so renters should keep that in mind. We had a wonderful stay!
