Relaxing stay by the beach
Beautiful property and such a quick walk to the beach. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony over looking the water each morning. Located in between many fun activities just a short car ride away. We will be coming back again!

Beach luxury
This is such a great property with everything you need for a beach centric stay. We enjoyed the stay tremendously. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen stocked with all plates and utensils you’d ever need and beach toys are available as well. I highly recommend. I would definitely stay again. Small caveat - this is not the place for you if you don’t like trains. They don’t bother me at all. They do go by frequently but are super short and are past the house in seconds.

This home is charming and well maintained with luscious gardens around, both natural and manufactured. The walk to the beach is simple if you find the secret steps to the tube. So much fun and a wonderful place. We will definitely be going back.

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights and absolutely loved it. We spent a lot of time sitting on the back deck enjoying the view of the ocean. It also was a quick walk to the beach and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in this house about 10-12 years ago. It was nice but a little dated. It has since been refurbished and has been updated with all amenities fairly new. The proximity to the beach was great. Would highly recommend it.

Great Del Mar Getaway
My husband, 7 year old son and myself had a great stay over spring break week. It was easy to find, super private and we didn’t have to drive at all for meals, Del Mar shopping or the beach. It was also centrally located on the coast for all of our driving needs. The neighborhood was very quiet and although the train goes by near the property, it only interfered with our sleep once and that was the one time we heard a freight train go through. I would take that one interruption for the location, the view and the neighborhood. The home itself is a bit tired but it’s more like a larger, charming beach shack. I was thrilled by the laundry in the primary bedroom area and bath. We definitely appreciated that after days at the beach. Also the yard was a perfect place for our little dog to explore. All in all a pleasant experience!

Del Mar / Outstanding views and access
Lovely little cottage with 2 bedrooms and a pullout sofa. Awesome ocean views from the upstairs open floor plan -- every area --living room, dining room, kitchen -- has the view. And the wraparound deck is fantastic. A great barbecue and firepit area outside; we made smores every night! 3 minute walk to the beach and beachfront restaurants. Highly recommend. Loved it so much we asked if it's for sale (it's not). We'll be back.

Cozy Beach Cottage
Great time in Del Mar! The cottage was everything we expected and more- clean, well stocked and wonderful appliances. Cozy. secluded and comfortable with lots of open spaces to spread out. The extended outdoor space had picnic table and grill - great place to relax and hear the ocean waves. Beds were comfortable and having 3 bathrooms was especially helpful in allowing everyone some privacy. The unobstructed view from the living room and patios was wonderful, great place to read our books and drink our morning coffee. The accessibility to the beach and Powerhouse Park was only minutes away and extremely convenient by using the tunnel under the train tracks. The trains weren't ever an issue. The kitchen was stocked with wonderful pots, pans and cookware. The beach vibe was carried throughout and made for nice seated dinners. No lack of dishes or utensils! Wifi /internet worked well during our week stay, can't say enough about the easy check in and out. Arron was quick to respond to questions and needs. Our teenage granddaughters were in heaven with the space at the cottage and the proximity to the beach! We will be back!

A great house in a unique location
This house is everything described in its listing - and more. It’s a kind of “upside down” house in that the two bedrooms are downstairs and the living area is upstairs. But that allows you to enjoy the views of the ocean and the Powerhouse landmark from the main part of the house. We are former Del Mar residents and we had no idea this little Grand Avenue neighborhood existed. And we loved the perspective we got of Del Mar from this unique location. And a quirky bonus is that you can walk through a tunnel under the nearby tracks to get to the beach - just a short stroll away from the house. The house was clean and well stocked — from the kitchen to the closets and bathrooms. We also loved the big deck with lots of places to sit outside. There was a nice big (for Del Mar) yard and lots of room to park cars. The property managers were just a text away and we’re always very responsive. This is our new favorite place to stay in Del Mar.

This property is great. We live locally and needed a place to stay during a construction project on our home. We stayed for over 2 weeks and had a great "staycation". Views from the deck are great for morning coffee, evening sunsets, or just listening to the ocean while you read your book. Kitchen was equipped with truly everything you need...large built in fridge, tons of cookware and serveware, crock pot, mini food processor, blender, big roasting pan if you're here for the holidays, (has an old school coffee maker and a French press, no Keurig). Outdoor BBQ and fire pit were fun in the evenings. The train tracks are right in front of the house, but honestly we didn't mind the Coaster going by at all. We walked to Jake's a few times for dinner, and Poseidon for brunch. Del Mar plaza is a 5 min walk, and the beach is 2 minutes. Great spot on the north end of the beach to let your well behaved dog off leash. Host responded immediately to any questions we had. Wifi was great. Lemons, limes, oranges and pomegranates grow in the yard...perfect to add a slice to your sunset cocktail! Master bedroom is spacious with attached bathroom with a good shower, dual sinks with large medicine cabinets for storage, large closet, smart TV, and stackable washer and dryer. Second bedroom is on the smaller side and is probably best suited for one person or children...not a lot of space to put your stuff. Second bedroom also had a smart TV. There's a Whole Foods about 5 min drive. Enjoy!

Great location with AC
Stayed with my wife and 3 teen daughters. We frequent Del Mar. The location of this property is fantastic. Even though you're on the crowded coast this place is private. The train was not an issue whatsoever. No rumbling the house as its far enough away. There's a nice ocean view from the upper level and no obstructions from other houses so you get the nice ocean breeze. The walk to the beach is less than 5 minutes and you have restaurants within walk distance as well. The plus with this property is the AC. Very hard to find for those rare times when the coast is a little too warm. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen and furnishings were well appointed.

Exactly as advertised
This cute little beach house is exactly as advertised. It has a great location. You can walk to beach and shopping in Del Mar. It is very close to the train tracks, so I was initially worried, but the train is very quiet and did not wake us up. We had a large pickup truck, so it couldn’t fit in the garage, but there was plenty of room behind the house to park it off the street. The owner was easy reach and responded very quickly during our communication. I would stay here again.
