We loved this place. It was just as described. It’s extremely close to the beach and some excellent restaurants. The host was easy to contact and answered all our questions. We will definitely be back.

Incredible place...shhh don't share
I hesitate to give a stellar review as we want to keep this place undercover so it's available for us again. It is a gem and Steven is fantastic...location and how the place is set-up is such a great fit for us. It has everything you need. We could keep going on and on...but we again we don't want to many ppl finding out about it ;-p

About the host

Hosted by Steven McDowell

Host profile image
Del Mar resident since 2001. Primary Residence's on Forest Way in Del Mar. Semi retired giving me time to still help on the Del Mar Little League Board and where needed elsewhere. Bought our beach place to have somewhere to share with family and friends and a place for our kids to stay in the future when they have their own family.

Steven McDowell

Why they chose this property

Purchased from a family that had owned the place since 1963. Loved the location, have friends with families that live close. Wanted a place to share. This works

What makes this property unique

At the place are towels, beach toys for running out to the surf and more stuff for young children to keep them occupied while you relax or cook. Many items we switch out with our own gear, if you need something just let us know.
