This quintessential fairy tale cottage is located in the heart of Del Mar Village. With its quaint white picket fence, rose hedge, and whimsically restored interior, this enchanting cottage was once featured in Better Homes and Gardens. Today, this cozy beach town getaway is equipped with everything you will need for your stay.

A wood deck off of the primary bedroom offers ocean views and opens onto a beautifully landscaped backyard with a large lawn, as well as fig and lemon trees. The outdoor shower is perfect to rinse and relax after a day at the beach. Additional amenities include:

A swing
Wetsuits
Surfboards
Boogie boards
Beach toys
Beach umbrellas
2 Electric Bikes
Scooters

Located close to L'Auberge resort between 15th and 13th streets, this cottage is just a few blocks away from the best shopping and dining in Del Mar. Other nearby attractions include Del Mar Race Track and the Del Mar Fairgrounds (about 1.5 miles away).

If you plan to venture further afield, Del Mar is an easy drive to Sea World, Legoland, San Diego Zoo, and Wild Animal Park. 20-minute drive to downtown, and close to the train station.

    The house was well stocked and very comfortable. We had the things needed to feel at home—like napkins! And soaps at the sinks! Great location despite having no view. Liked the deck. We sat there a lot. Clean. Easy check-in. Parking!

    We love this beautiful beach cottage! This was our second stay and we will definitely be back! Gary is a great host, he is fast to respond and provides all of the details we need. We love the boogie boards, beach chairs, chef’s kitchen, beautiful gardens, bbq, patio and laundry. My husband left a baseball hat on our last stay and it was there to welcome us. We love the location, and can’t wait to go back again!

    We really enjoyed our stay. Check in and check out were super easy. The house was very close to the beach and shopping. Ceiling fans in at least 2 rooms helped on warm days. The house was clean and had everything we needed, including things for the beach. Loved the outdoor shower. That was a huge bonus. Our host was helpful in his communications to us. We had a great vacation and would stay here again.

    Had a wonderful time. House is located in a great spot within walking distance to everything we needed, and so close to the beach. Cottage is beautiful and kept up pretty well. Wish we could have used the treehouse, but it needs some repairs and to be cleaned out. Overall, great experience.

    This adorable fairy tale cottage is the perfect fit for our family. (My husband, myself, our teenage twin granddaughters and our little dog) We're repeat guests and would love to spend every spring break here! We love it that much! A nice little break from the Colorado snow. The location is perfect, with nice private driveway, close to parks, beach, shopping and dining. We only used our car twice in the week, to go to the market. The Cottage is very well maintained, with a warm, homey feel. Beautiful kitchen for cooking, deck for eating, reading and sunning. The garage has everything needed for a fun day at the beach. Laundy in basement was handy. We consider it our perfect getaway place! The Lallier Family

    The kids loved the treehouse and swing. The warm outdoor shower was a novelty for them after a sandy beach adventure. The best part was that they could walk everywhere.
