    Nice and clean little home base for our stay in Del Mar, a quick walk to the beach and plenty to do in the area. We would stay again next time we’re in the area.

    This is a well-appointed property in a great location. Easy walk to the beach (and all of the beach supplies are there waiting for you!). Beachhaus staff goes above and beyond with their communication and attention to details before, during and after our stay. This property was remodeled 2 years ago and everything is top notch!

    The property itself was great! Only issue was the bed wasn’t super comfortable. Location was good but the property management gave us the wrong information about dogs being allowed on the beach. Our entire trip was planned just to take our dogs to the beach for the first time and when I asked them about it they said they were allowed on a leash at the beach across the street, and off leash at the dog beach. We found out the day we got there as we were walking our dogs that they are only allowed on the dog beach and have to be on a leash. Management was apologetic then tried to blame me for not doing my own research. Had we known we would have made other arrangements.

    They had all of the beach gear we needed and are a quick walk down to the sand. We loved the luscious plants in the backyard and of course the 2 bedrooms. Perfect space for our family of 4!

    This home was just what my family needed during our spring break! The owners were communicative and friendly. They also had a little gift for my twin 7-year olds! The home is clean and comfortable. We loved drinking our coffee in the garden every morning. The beach is a quick 5-minute walk and perfect if you have a dog. The home is located in between Carlsbad (Legoland) and San Diego (we went to the zoo and Seaport Village). We hope to stay here again!

    We traveled from Palm Springs for a dog show in Del Mar and stayed this pet friendly duplex. The yard was lovely and very secure. Nice outdoor sitting area. The inside was nicely decorated and the bed was very comfortable!!! You are literally a 2-3 minute walk to the beach. We did not cook on this trip but the kitchen is well stocked. Lovely welcome note and coffee that was very appreciated) Also very close to the Del Mar race track so would love to stay here again and walk to the track!!!

    We enjoyed our stay at the Octopus Hideaway! We wanted something close to the beach and this was a super close walk! The house is a convenient location to restaurants and shopping. Although we didn't stay long enough to use the kitchen for cooking, it was well stocked. The home was clean and very nicely decorated.

    Our family (me, wife, dog) needed a reprieve from the AZ heat and this was the perfect escape. The home is everything that listed / shown and more. I was really impressed with ample closet space, having the dog beach so close, and how every amenity the home offered was right at your fingertips. We 100% want to stay here again asap.

    We really enjoyed staying at the Octopus Hideaway. Such a tasteful decoration and so useful amenities… Great location. We were able to take long walks on tje beach. Really enjoyed our stay. One suggestion would be to have more light options for different corners of the garden. It would have been more enjoayble and possible to have dinner outside

    My girlfriend, dog and I loved staying at the Octopus Hideaway. It's very near dog beach and the commercial shops in Del Mar. The property is also private with a fully fenced yard. The house is stocked with all the necessary items to live and cook during the stay. We look forward to coming back in the future.
