Del Mar Retreat on 2/3 Acre-Canyon, Ocean and Mountain views.

Beautiful home and location! Owner is quick to respond to inquiries. No clean up required at check out. Great vacation!

This is a wonderful property, a true garden oasis. Perfect for a visit to Del Mar. Walkable to downtown restaurants and the beach if you are up for a hilly return trip. Beautiful back country views of Crest Canyon and beyond. The house is well maintained and stocked with everything you need for the beach trips, etc.

Dog friendly in premier neighborhood with beautiful bluff views.

This was my family’s third summer staying at Don’s house in Del Mar. you can’t beat the location and the house is a great setup for both my kids (7 and 10) as well as having a nice office area if you are working remote. Don is a great host that is responsive, checks in to make sure everything is going smooth and an overall nice guy. We hope to be back for a fourth summer next year!

My wife and I loved the house and location and especially the multiple outdoor sitting areas and the view from the back.. Depending on how you count there are 7 sitting areasor so! Don was very engaging and emailed to check on us a couple of times. We will stay again next time in San Diego.

This was our first time staying in Del Mar and we absolutely loved it. Overall our stay was great. The location of this place is impecable and the house is super comfortable, we had everything we needed. Don, the owner, is very accesible. We had a few minor hiccups regarding cleanliness and access to some of the listed amenities, but nothing serious, we truly enjoyed our stay and would gladly recommend staying here.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Casa Instone. Great views, peaceful house. Lots of interesting art and knick-knacks. Owners were very responsive to inquiries.

Online description not accurate: First time at Del Mar. Love the town not so much the property we stayed at. Landscaping is beautiful! View from the back of the home stunning; however, with the interstate bustling 24/7, not so peaceful. Neither is a big and loud barking dog to the north of the home. Ironically, we had to sign off that our dog would not disturb the neighbors, as we would be cited. Also, lots of ongoing construction one block north of the property. Not very peaceful with construction vehicles and personnel working all week long and on Saturday. The homes being worked on are amazing, but not a place to vacation if you are trying to leave a big city for R&R. The home needs TLC. The musty smell of the home was overwhelming and when I informed the owner he played the I don't know card. The smell improved somewhat with windows, doors and fans, but still intrusive to the olfactory nerves. Finally, the spa, hot tub, was empty when we arrived. Don was abrupt and abrasive in communication when I insisted that the hot tub be filled, stating that it broke that morning and it would take 2-3 weeks to get a repair person When the latter was not on option for my family, he got his gardener/ handyman to come the next day and miraculously it worked. The spa was a highlight for my family and very peaceful. Thanks Don! Giving three stars because of the memories, not for the not-so-peaceful stay at Casa In-Stone.

This was our second summer staying here and we hope to be back for a third next year. Very comfortable house with a convenient location to downtown Del Mar and the beach. Thanks Don!

Absolutely loved the home and yard. Did not want to leave! Very peaceful areas - and beautiful views in the front and back. Plenty of space and an amazing office. Love!
