Relaxation
Perfect location for spending all day relaxing on the beach. Definitely more of a locals beach, so not very busy on the week days. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. This condo is extremely comfortable and the views are incredible! We plan to stay here again next time we vacation in Southern Cali…

Amazing place and an Amazing Time
Mack’s shack was the perfect place for our little beach getaway. Communication with the host was easy, check in was smooth, and the location was great! Being right on the beach was a huge plus, and the vacation rental having beach towels, chairs and umbrella made going to the beach a breeze! Overall, this place is amazing and we will be booking again in the future!
My stay was absolutely amazing! The view is so stunning and the whole beach is truly beautiful. The hot tub and pool overlooking the ocean were great, too. It’s such a quiet and peaceful place - truly paradise. Tons of great restaurants around. Excellent communication with the host. I am dying to go back!

Awesome Oceanview Condo!!!
Well-appointed condo in a laid-back, quiet complex. Parking was super convenient to unit. Oceanfront Pool and Spa. Stairs to beach was right next to property, which is not so common in this area. We've stayed at many VRBO ocean-front rentals from Leucadia to Del Mar and this was one of our favorites. Scott, the host, was also top-notch with his communication and efforts to make our stay the best possible. We stay at VRBO properties in various parts of world, so know how important a good host is. We look forward to returning!

Grateful
We are retired snowbirds that feel very grateful we found this Vrbo. If offers a wonderful 24/7 view of the Pacific Ocean. Has comfortable furniture, has a well stocked kitchen. Cozy location at the end of the condo complex which meant plenty of privacy. Spacious bedroom. Lots of bedroom furniture, cedar closet for our things. Easy parking easy few steps to door if that's a concern.
Already going back next winter!

FANTASTIC GETAWAY PLACE AND LOCATION
Hi Scott,
The Mack Shack is overall wonderful … cleanliness, the condo layout and location, the condo is outfitted with everything anyone would need, the kitchen had everything a cook needs along with nice dishes and great glasswares.
The view is fantastic and the beach is as well … saw a few seals and a bunch of dolphins.
No problem finding good restaurants close by.
I highly recommend to anyone seeking some great time away.
Thanks much - we really enjoyed,
Dick and Karin

We enjoyed our beach vacation despite the rain and cold because we had the view from the perfectly placed chair by the window. Kitchen was well equipped and we used it. Comfortable bed and furniture. We enjoyed exploring the small beach community. Walking distance to great cafes and shops.

Perfect beach getaway
This property is outstanding! The pictures show the great view but it is amazing in person. Big windows, unobstructed view of the beach and ocean which are only steps away. Watch sunsets, storms, surfers, dolphins, pelicans and fishing boats from the deck or living room, it is never boring! The unit is stocked with absolutely everything needed for a comfortable stay and is very clean. Scott is wonderful to work with, answered questions immediately and even got us a rental tv next day when the living room one quit.
We have already looked to book here next winter. Mack's Shack is definitely our favorite spot!

Wonderful Week in Solana Beach
My wife and I spent an awesome week at the condo. All is as advertised. The view is fantastic. We watched surfers, whales, brown pelicans, dolphins and even a Coast Guard rescue of a floundering sailboat from the living room. The sailboat and occupants were fine. Scott was very easy to communicate with as well. Beach walks, shooting hoop at Fletcher Cove, hiking at Torrey Pines and Annie's Canyon Trail, the Birch Aquarium at Scripps, seals and sea lions at La Jolla Cove, a violin recital at the Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, great outdoor dining on the beach with sunsets at Poseidon in Del Mar (ask for Dave)... A fantastic trip, a fantastic rental and a fantastic hose. Thanks Scott, we'll be back. Andrew and Gail
