Les points faibles : Communication et emplacement
The house is fine for what it is, but there was no working dishwasher and we werenât allowed to use the fireplace. The screen doors had corroded shut from the salt air.The neighborhood has a few homes but the peninsula is quite desolate with what appears to be an abandoned development.
Had a beautiful time with family, house was clean when we arrived, it had all the amenities anybody would need, it has a very big fire pit outside that was perfect for all the family to be around, stores are super close if youâre missing any supplies, beach was clean no trash, just want to say thank you for letting me rent this beautiful house to spend time with my family, they had a wonderful time
We were looking to get a way for a few days, away from the 4th of July crowds but close to the beach. Sol Vista delivered and exceeded expectations. The place was situated right on the water, close proximity to dining options and crowds if we wanted to. Best relaxing stay in a while. If you are looking for some peace and quiet with options, this is the place to stay.
Second time at this house always a pleasure to stay. Clean home, easy check in and out. Comfortable beds and good wifi connection. Enjoyed raining weather with a cup of coffee. House has everything you need from pots and pans to outdoor grill.
Always a pleasure staying at this property once again. Check in is easy and house has everything you need to make a large meal. Fans in every room is a plus. It makes the room fresh enough to sleep during summer nights. There was a lot of mosquitoes two days only but there was insect repellent to help out. I will continue to stay at this property at least twice a year. Neighbors were really nice and friendly.
Very clean property, private beach area. Each bedroom has a complete bathroom a plus. All cooking utensils available. New refrigerator, stove, outdoor grill. Enough gas to cook thanksgiving dinner. Pet friendly. Me and my family will return again soon.
The property is in need of updating and AC. It is on the beach which was awesome. The internet is is so slow that I had to turn off the wifi on my phone to do any online stuff.
We were three adults, two teenagers, and five dogs, here for a week's vacation. The place is quite wonderful - lots of room, nice patio with the clear wind break, just yards from the ocean. The beach is really quite peaceful, not a lot of people there except the few staying at the other houses on the beach. The fire pit on the patio was a nice touch - we had a fire two nights we were there, and the sight and sounds of the fire blended with the sounds of the ocean in a very magical way. The mattresses were quite nice - firm the way we prefer them. We had brought extra blankets and used them to cover the couches from the dogs, which was a smart idea. We would love to stay here again!
The first property was good but then when the water ran oout we had to move another house because we weren't going to get any water till the next day so that's the part that I didn't like k ow the other house was good but it wasn't in front of the the beach that the part that I didn't like so all in all I give it a C
Had a wonderful time both at the house and in Ensenada. House is as described very nice and pleasant. Few things I would fix. The chairs by dining room table my mother fell because the casters were broken. Turns out all chairs were broken. The pressure in the showers all 3 drip at best. May just need to be cleaned but pressure anywhere else like in sinks was good. Other than that very nice views beds were comfortable and would stay here again. Not sure why punta banda was almost abandoned. They have very nice beaches! Thanks.
We had a wonderful stay at this home. We arrived in the evening and had an issue with the TV that night but Irka took care of it the next morning. She is the most delightful property manager and made sure we really enjoyed our stay. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and having the beach just steps away was really the highlight of our trip.
Property was great, fully stocked kitchen, perfect front beach location, and check in/out was easy. We had a great time there. Will definately be back!
This property seems to be well kept and maintained. The outside patio is great and loved the view. Each bedroom having its own bathroom is a plus. The kitchen is well stocked. However when we first arrived the water heater was turned off and took a few hours to heat up the water. There did appear to be some issues on the messages through Vrbo. We ran out of water the next day in the evening. After multiple calls back and forth, water arrive a bit before noon the day after.

We were fortunate family friends rented a nearby property as we had to use their house for showers/toilets as we did not have access to water/water pressure for half of our visit. We arrived late on a Friday. On Saturday morning the water pressure was super low but we were able to shower and use the sinks. On Sunday morning we woke up to no water whatsoever. .We called the PM who promptly ordered more water. When the water was delivered we had water again. We went out for the day and returned that night to, again, no water. A burning smell was in the garage where the water pump was. A handyman was sent out who fixed the pump. He noted the pump had been improperly repaired before which caused some sort of short. He was surprised the breaker had not been tripped and was also surprised the pump had not been irretrievably broken. He replaced a part on the pump and got it to work again. He noted the kitchen sink had low water pressure probably due to some sort of blockage in the sink pipes. This we could live with. These repairs took place on a Sunday night. On Monday, we woke up again to no water, called the PM who again sent out a handyman who diagnosed the issue to a running toilet and said we had low water. (I checked the plancha for water and it was full). We had already left to our friend's house because we had to use their facilities. While I am not expert, I am 99% the issue is with the pump. When the PM initially came out just prior to the handyman, she noted that pumps are expensive to replace. The burning smell, the prior repairs, the new part all suggest it probably needs to be replaced.
Not having WIFI, no use of the fireplaces or dishwashers, hard beds, but most importantly no water made for a disappointing visit. We wish that we had been offered a partial refund.
We are so grateful for the week we spent in this beautiful home. My husband and I travel to the area frequently to visit mom, but havenât brought our dogs. This time, we AND the dogs had SUCH a nice time. The backyard is to die for and secure for dogs. Itâs far enough down the spit that the beach was almost exclusively ours. WiFi was great enough for Netflix on my iPad, Zoom meetings on my laptop, and Xbox live on the TV all at the same time! (Xbox not included). If you want a peaceful escape where you can watch and hear the ocean all day and night, but is safe for dogs and kids to have outdoor freedom, Do. Not. Hesitate.
