Adorable Octopus Hideaway: 2 min walk to the beach!

Great place!!

We have stayed at several BeachHaus rentals, and they are all beautifully appointed places with all the amenities that make vacationing easier for a family with young kids. The Octopus Hideaway is no exception. It is a serene hideaway, tucked in the back of the house and surrounded by lush, tropical landscaping. The beach is a 5-min walk from the house. Not only do Brenda and her team provide everything a busy family would need, from nightlights in the bathrooms to dish and laundry soap pods (fragrance free!), and beach toys, towels, and portable chairs, the team is also super responsive to any inquiries I've ever had. We visit SD at least once/year to see family, and now I book only with BeachHaus, because they really go out of their way to look after us. As a mom of three young kids (and a 4th—my husband LOL), I feel taken care of when I stay at a BeachHaus rental. It's clear that these homes are managed by a busy mom who has thought of everything (with excellent interior design to boot!). This year, our favorite places were all booked, and the team kindly gave me some other options for places that had availability. And now we can add Octopus Hideaway to our list of faves.

We enjoyed our time in this peaceful, beautiful and well appointed cottage. The location was perfect - an easy 10 minute walk from the dog beach and close to great coffee shops and restaurants for humans. Loved it.

Beautiful property and ideal location. Exceeded all expectations and property managers were terrific from booking to departure. Perfect for 2-3 people. Highly recommend.

Cute place, comfortable, lovely enclosed backyard and easy access to beach.

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.

Clean. Good location .

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!

Cute place, right by the beach, nice and clean, just what we signed up for.

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.

Adorable little home, had everything very clean and cute. Would stay again happily

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!

Beautiful little apartment with a killer location just a block from the beach. Del Mar is a cozy little town as well. Would 100% recommend. Perfect for a 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!

Beautiful property and great location.

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.

A perfect stay! Beds were so comfortable. The coffee was amazing. Pristine accommodations. Would absolutely stay here again.

Tucked in the back, nicely fenced with astroturf and well maintained gardens. It was perfect for a few days at the beach with our pups.

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

This is a nice property: super clean and well-managed. The host responded to every question at Olympic speed. Perfect location for the beach. Great size for a couple or a small family. Highly recommend!

This place was incredible. The yard is beautiful and fully fenced, which was fantastic for our dogs. You’re within a few minutes walk to the dog beach. The house was clean and had everything we needed when we arrived. Super comfy bed and couch. Would absolutely stay here again.
