    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!

    Wonderful fenced property with ocean views and coastal breezes. The natural light well appointed decor was beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, morning walks to Stratford Cafe. The outside swing bench that also faces the ocean with a view made it where you just didn't want or need to leave, so we enjoyed dinner and card games in the afternoon with no need to go anywhere :)

    We absolutely loved our stay! The house was beautiful and cozy, with comfortable beds that made for a great night’s sleep. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Del Mar, with a tunnel just steps away that leads directly to the beach and some of the area's top waterfront restaurants.One thing we weren’t expecting was the train noise, but we quickly got used to it and it didn’t take away from our overall experience. Being able to walk everywhere and leave the car parked was a huge bonus. Overall, a wonderful stay in a prime spot!

    Our family of 4 adults loved our stay at your home. It was the perfect location for us as we attended a family wedding next door at the L'auberge Hotel. We enjoyed sunset cocktails on the balcony each night and cooking meals here. Easy to get to attractions in the city and beaches. We walked to shops and restaurants in Del Mar town. A fabulous place and would definitely stay again

    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!

    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.
