Del Mar, California
Enjoy this special vacation home among the Torrey Pines in Olde Del Mar with ocean and canyon views, close to all, however with privacy and serenity. This beautifully furnished home accommodates 6 with 1 king sized bed, and 1 queen sized bed and two long twin beds. The open beam wood paneled living room offers a cozy oversized wood burning fireplace and opens to the wide veranda overlooking Crest Canyon and the easterly views of the mountains. There are 3 HD TV's one in the living room, one in the master bedroom, and one in the kitchen. The kitchen also features its own wood burning fireplace and is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, flatware, serving dishes, and all entertaining necessities. Take a moment to enjoy the ambience of one of the three patios with the sound of the birds, fountains and waterfall from the pond. The spacious property also includes a very private outdoor shower, outdoor barbeque, access to hiking trails in Crest Canyon, many great restaurants and abundant stores for shopping. There is plenty of private parking on the property for guests. The Del Mar Beach and Seagrove Park are within walking distance or just a short drive if preferred. It's truly a retreat to stay in this home.
The owner will require guest to sign the included Short Term Rental Agreement and Rental Rules and Addendums and provide a valid drivers license in order to gain occupancy to the property.
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!
Awesome summer family trip. Very nice location with a good setup for remote work, if needed. Dog friendly a nice plus. Hope to be back.
This is our second year staying here and we absolutely loved it…again!
Overall worked well for 2-6 adults.
The pictures do not do justice to this perfect home. Originally we were to be 2 couples, but last minute changes resulted in just one couple. The directions were perfect, arriving on a winding, 15mph road to the home looking out over Crest Canyon. The entire home was spotless and reflected the loving care of Don & Susan. A few minor questions were immediately handled with a quick call to Don. As mentioned in the VRBO description, there is no A/C; however, the wonderful breezes made A/C completely unnecessary. Our master bed, a king, was comfortable and provided for great sleep. One pillow was a bit large but a replacement was available in the closet. Water pressure in the shower was fine, as was the quick availability of hot water. We ate our meals out so did not use the kitchen. As people who like to cook, the appliances, including an induction range, appeared to be top notch. The living room proved to be very comfortable for watching TV or just relaxing. That having been said, we spent most of our time on the patio overlooking the canyon. We loved the quiet and the beauty below. We did not use any of the trails into the canyon, but did see people doing so. We used the large office quite often and the internet proved to be just fine for our needs. We are sorry to leave after such a short stay but certainly plan to return. What a beautiful home!
Friendly, enjoyable and well located. Would recommend to othrs.
The house was gorgeous and peaceful! Just a like bit of a hike to the beach. Tough to bring the boards back and fourth. Other than that the place is a real a gem! Would definitely go back!
