I just happened upon this site, and I am a bit schocked at the reviews of Playa Mar and Kim Wallis. I suppose we all have different experiences, and different expectations, but I love this place. Yes they are older townhomes so the appliances and design are a bit dated, but the location is awesome, my neighbors are great, and the price is reasonable! It's a pet friendly community so if you don't like dogs, you might want to take that into consideration before moving in and then complaining. Kim has always been friendly, professional, accomodating, and available. I just re-signed another year lease here...and honestly I see a lot of long term residents here too. The price is great for the location...spoiler alert, Encinitas is not cheap and this place is less than everything else I looked into that was comparable. The parking is tight, but that is pointed out the minute you look at the place...again don't hear it, move in, then complain about it. I am very happy at Playa Mar and would reccomend it to ANYONE I LIKE!
