All BeachHauses are engineered for simple, easy living. All BeachHauses feature self check-in and check-out. They're stocked with beach toys, beach towels, bath towels, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, olive oil, and cooking-ready kitchens.

Drop down the road and onto the beach: it's a 2 minute walk with a great crosswalk, and totally flat. All the better for the beach toys you have in tow, found waiting for you in the shared garage with your own little wagon. Play in the sand, relax back into the sun, boogie board or surf. Then come back to a truly cooking-ready kitchen, an outdoor shower, your own private fenced back yard. The owners spend weeks here every year so you know it's livable. All you have to do is come.

    Seahorse Cottage is a dream. It’s the perfect size and location. We love the decor & having everything we need for the beach or enjoying a night in. The Beachhaus team always delivers!

    Every detail of this small cottage has been thoughtfully imagined and executed. It is extremely well kept, clean and tasteful. The location is excellent being a short walk to the amazing Del Mar beach. Also within walking distance of great restaurants and facilities in Del Mar village. Beach Haus Rentals are very responsive and clearly manage the property in a very professional way. Just two of us stayed at Seahorse Cottage. The property would be perfect for a family of four with children. I think it would feel small for two adult couples. We would not hesitate in booking another stay here.

    The house was perfect for our stay. Super clean with everything we needed. A quick walk across the street to the beach. So convenient to restaurants and the race track! Loved the location and will be back!

    Lovely, comfortable cottage—literally a block from the sand and ocean. Our own patio and parking. They provided coffee and other kitchen items which was great. Washer and dryer a big plus! Would stay again definitely!

    This was a fantastic stay, the property was extremely clean bright and better than the pictures. We loved our stay and so easy to get to the beach. We loved it so much we added an extra day to our stay and the communication was fantastic and everything handled with the utmost professionalism.

    Amazing location literally steps from the beach, and also a close walk to our favorite dog beach. House was spotless, super cute and. had everything we needed and more. Aside from that, which is really already enough for us to rebook - the hosts were amazing. Amazing communication before and throughout. We managed to somehow lock ourselves out of the bathroom and they came over right away to help us. We also forgot my son’s stuffy, and they offered to mail it back to us free of charge. A truly excellent experience from beginning to end! Don’t hesitate - just book! You’ll be glad you did!

    I’ve stayed at dozens of rentals, and this is among my favorites. Beautifully equipped, exceptionally clean. Design-wise, imagine the sample rooms at IKEA. Not everyone’s taste, but it happens to be mine. There are beach carts in the garage. Throw in some provided chairs, toys, etc. and you’re on the beach in a few minutes. Yet you’re in a quiet lovely neighborhood. I can’t say anything about the hosts, because I neither had nor needed any human contact. Everything was meticulously labeled and easy to understand. Please don’t book this property. I want it to be available for my next rental!

    This is an artfully decorated and very comfortable home in a great neighborhood with lots of thoughtful add ons and kitchen and bath items to make the stay even better. The short walk to the beach is convenient.

    This is our second time renting from Beachhaus and it did not disappoint. Seahorse Cottage was the perfect place to stay for my daughter and I for a long girls weekend. Parking was easy, effortless check in, and so close to the beach. The home had everything we needed, super clean and very organized. Beds were super comfortable and the home was very quiet. We will definitely be coming back as this was such a better option than a hotel that we usually do for a short trip. Absolutely loved it!! Thank you!!

    The cottage has absolutely everything you could possibly want, including a lovely backyard and patio. It is a 10-minute walk to the Del Mar Dog Beach, making it ideal for staying with pets. AND there are two parking slots -- very rare this close to the beach. We loved it and will be back!!

    Great location with an easy walk to the beach and restaurants. The cottage is nicely decorated and well-appointed with everything we needed to be comfortable. It was very clean and the beds have the most comfortable mattress and linens. The back yard is beautiful with tall plants all around providing absolute privacy. The grassy area was perfect for our dog to run around. Unfortunately, we had car trouble the day before we were to check out. Since we were driving through the desert to get back to Phoenix we were hesitant to drive home without having a mechanic look at it. I texted Beachaus to see if we could extend our stay but the Seahorse cottage was already booked. However, they found us another unit nearby that was available and we were able to go directly there when we checked out. They turned a stressful situation into a blessing and saved our trip! We will definitely be coming back to this cottage and using Beachaus for all of our beach vacations!

    We rented the Seahorse Cottage while we were in town for my daughter's horse show and we loved our stay! Clean, cozy, well decorated, comfortable beds and everything we needed for our stay. We loved the personal touches and will definitely be back.
