Sea'Esta by the Shore - Spacious Townhome w/ Dual Master Suites

we have used VRBO for our last 3 vacation properties in the Del Mar area, they were managed by a host/owner. These properties were in tip top condition and stocked with all amenties, paper products, excellent cooking utensils, even coffee and tea. This years property was hosted by Stubbs Vacation rentals and we were floored at the horible condition and location of this property! The pictures on the listing of ocean views were across the street in another section of the property, there were holes in the tile floor, the carpets were dirty, mouse turds in the laundry room, rust on the dryer, knobs missing on the clothes dresser. After complaining to Stubbs Realty, Tyler(manager?) apologized, moved us to another smaller Stubbs property but with actual ocean front view.This second location was a great location but multiple issues. Sliding screen doors didn't work or lock,cupboard door broken, junk utensils, bathroom GFI plug didn't work properly, only left a half roll of toilet paper (we had to supply all paper products). Too many iritating problems to list, Ttese properties should NOT be furnished by Goodwill or the Dollar Store. Customers who rent from VRBO should be treated with the same consideration as the clients who pay to put their properties on your sight. Stubbs Vacation Rentals should make sure their properties sites meet the same ethical standards that VRBO usually represents.

Everything was clean, comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The only drawback was the dryer wasn’t very powerful and took a long time to dry. It would also have been great to have one more gate key so we didn’t have to coordinate going to the pool or beach.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was exactly as described. It was a bit dated yet very clean and was a perfect place for our family for the week. The beach access across the street was fun and shops/coffee/train station were within walking distance (under a mile to everything). The only thing I could gripe about was the fact that almost of the blinds were broken but it was a minor problem really. We would definitely stay again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we had a nice stay at this rental. We were able to save some money booking directly with Stubbs as opposed to VRBO or AirBNB. The condo was clean. No AC wasn't really an issue until the last couple of days which were hot. Location was great because it was only ~25-30 min from downtown SD and ~1 hour from downtown LA. We had ants crawling around here and there but that was taken care of right away after contacting the management company.

Played tennis everyday!Only problems were trying to turn on lights and fans with remote on the wall. Maybe need battery check. Kitchen is good but could use some larger mixing size bowls. Will definitely stay there again!

We enjoyed the location of the VRBO in that we could go across the street to view the ocean any time we wanted. It was nice to have a heated pool for our grandchildren when they came to visit. The kitchen had the supplies to make our meals there. There was one significant drawback, you could not control the heat in the living room....it was locked at one temperature and the time it was on was locked too.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really liked working with Dave Stubbs Rental. They are accessible and helpful when we have a question or issue. We also liked Delmar Beach Club (east side). The location of the development is very nice. Our rental was fine. Our complaint was that it was very chilly inside and we could never warm it up adequately. It’s also located next to a neighbor who plays music with her windows open. Mildly annoying. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

The unit and the community worked out well. Everything worked as advertised. Location and proximity to ocean is terrific. Rental office did nice job of communicating proactively and responding when necessary. Unit itself was cold temp-wise as it is winter. Difficult to heat in mornings. We had a great time and would come back.
