THE DEEP DIVE
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.

Grab your wine glass or your koozie and your beach cooler: it's all here waiting for you. Then stroll out this charming 1950's beach bungalow--one of a charming duplex duo--and you're at the beach. Some say it's a two minute walk, or with little kids you may clock in at four minutes. But it's an easy flat stroll with a crosswalk that flashes and California drivers who attentively halt when you even think about crossing the road. Enjoy Del Mar's locally famous 25th street beach, which rolls contemplative in the morning and bustles during the day. And then come back to your home away from home: our owners consistently stay here and make little tweaks and improvements, so you know it's truly livable and ready for you.

    A great place to stay for a weekend. We parked the car on Saturday morning and didn't use it again until we left on Monday morning. Beach walks, strolling into town, drinking wine on the patio. Definitely recommend

    Beautiful property that has absolutely everything you could possibly need. We booked last minute and they were super accomodating. A very short walk to a gorgeous beach, and the fairgrounds are just around the corner. We hope to come back soon!

    Turtle Retreat is a great property for a small family. Comfortable living room and bedrooms. Has all the amenities you need for a multiple night stay - kitchen appliances/supplies, beach chairs, etc. Very short walk to a main beach access point. Loved our stay!

    It’s such a lovely property. Great location in Del Mar. The space is really wonderfully designed with plenty of attention to detail. And the cute backyard is perfect.

    Maybe even better! We loved staying here and will definitely be back! I travel a ton for work and often stay at rental homes and they often do not live up to their photos. This place did! It was spotless, beautifully taken care of and just so cute! thank you for a wonderful stay!

    We had a a great stay. The walk to the beach was wonderful. They do a great job maintaining the property. The only issue we had was our dog. He would bark when the gate that was next to our apartment opened and closed. No protective mini Goldendoodle - no problem…

    We really enjoyed our experience! The rental property was amazing. It was incredibly clean and decorated very nicely. The location to the beach was perfect. I'd highly recommend this rental property, as well as this rental company. They are very good with their communication.

    I love BeachHaus Rentals and their properties. I have been taking my family to Del Mar for a week every summer and know the best locations. The BeachHaus properties on 25th and 26 have great locations for going to the beach. The units are super clean, and the host is extremely responsive. I am very happy.

    This place was perfect for us. Extremely comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. We cooked breakfast every morning and enjoyed a glass of wine in the evenings on the back deck. We took morning and afternoon walks on the beach which was just a few minutes walk away from our front door. We look forward to a future stay. Thanks for hostessing us.

    We enjoyed the 4th of July holiday at the Turtle Retreat. We enjoy our stacation every year in Del Mar and this year was no exception. This adorable cottage has an excellent location just a block or so off of the beach. We were able to easily walk to Downtown Del Mar, back and forth to the SD Fair and into Solana Beach for restaurants, drinks and fun. We will absolutely stay again!

    Every morning we walked two short blocks from the house to take a walk on the beach and swim in the ocean. We would repeat this every evening at sunset! The house is small, but perfectly outfitted with beach toys, wagon, towels, etc. We ate our meals at the outdoor dining patio and had easy access to the washing machine and dryer. It was perfect and stress-free!

    This is quite literally a block from the beach. It’s a perfect house and they provide so much stuff if you have kids (wagons, Sand toys, pack n play, high chair, seat etc) also love that the patio and front is fenced off. It’s technically a duplex but you don’t notice until you happen to cross paths in the front. I would definitely rent again and plan to have my sister and her kids in the other part of the duplex. Great place for two families that need a little space.
