What a wonderfully serene property this is. The hubub of downtown Del Mar is just a block away for when we wanted to go to shops and restaurants, and less than a block in the other direction was the Pacific. The house is so comfy and cozy and has lovely beachy decor. More than anything, tho, was the great care taken of us by Lauren was a gift. I’d stay here again at this gem of a home with a gem of a host over and over.

We just returned from an unforgettable New Year’s getaway at a beautiful house in Del Mar, and we couldn't be more thrilled with our experience! **Location:** The property is perfectly situated, just a short stroll from the stunning beach and vibrant local shops and restaurants. We loved being able to enjoy morning walks along the coast and having easy access to everything we needed.**Host:** Our host was exceptionally welcoming and accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and communication was excellent. Best host experience. **Overall Experience:** We enjoyed cozy evenings in the spacious living area and appreciated the well-equipped kitchen. We’re already looking forward to our return next month! If you’re considering a stay in Del Mar, this is definitely the place to be. Highly recommended!

Perfect beach location

Ideal location for a beach vacation. Very short walk (5 mins) to playground and beach and only a block away from shops and restaurants. Lauren was a great host and quickly responded to any questions or needs. Kitchen is very well stocked and Lauren has provided everything you need for a day at the beach (umbrella, chairs, towels, etc).

Lovely place in perfect location

We have stayed in Del Mar area several times and this house is perfect for hanging out on a beach weekend. Our 23 year old son and his girlfriend met us here and we hung out at the beach, walked to restaurants, ran along the river...location can't be beat. The house is updated and is private with plenty of privacy between the master and other bedrooms. Will be back!

Amazing trip

Definitely one of the most well stocked places that we have stayed at. Probably the only thing that you need to bring extra are chairs and an umbrella. The area was great. Close to shopping and restaurants. It was about a 10 minute walk to the beach. We had a great time!

Beautiful home, wonderful to see and hear the ocean!

The interior decoration is beautiful. One of the best spots is outside on the deck, where you can see down the street to the ocean and wonderful sunsets. Only 5-7 minutes away is good access to the beach and a great dog park. Lauren was a good communicator both before and during our stay over Christmas week.

Our property is located on 13th Street overlooking the ocean, taking in deep breaths of ocean breeze, and perfectly situated in the center of all that our favorite city in the whole wide world has to offer!

What makes this property unique

There are various options in Del Mar when choosing a home or hotel to accommodate you. Not many can offer you the location of 13th Street or deliver the amount of home you are looking for as you are away from home. The wood shakes on the outside of our custom home to the grassy yard placing you in the midst of the action and tranquility are disarming from the moment you set sights high on the property. Upon entering our home, you will know why we want to share the love of our life with our guests!
