Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear the property was well kept. We appreciate your comments and hope to have the opportunity to host you again, whether at this home or any of our 70 coastal properties!
Our House was being painted so decided to book something fun for the week. Our 3 and 1 year old had an absolute blast. It rained 2 of the days so we were stuck inside but other than that most time was spent on the beach. Didn’t have to lug lots of stuff. Could just walk back and grab what’s needed. Quite, peaceful neighborhood, kids lived the train going by ever so often. Would book again if time comes.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us! We're so happy to hear that your little ones had a blast and that the home’s location made beach trips easy and stress-free. Even with a couple of rainy days, it sounds like you still had a fun and relaxing time. I agree that the peaceful neighborhood and occasional passing train add to the charm! We'd love to host you again at any of our 70 coastal properties whenever possible.
The townhouse is beautiful and looks newly remodeled. We walked 2 blocks to the beach every morning and swam. The location was amazing and all the amenities including the AC and the outdoor shower were great. The house rules are rather numerous and overly picky, but would not be a problem for a responsible renter. Going through all the strict house rules does bring added stress when on holiday, so I think that’s the only criticism. Otherwise, the location was to die for and the place was lovely, tasteful & comfortable.
Place was great and clean - love the outdoor shower. It was too cold to go out back but very cute!
As locals here we frequent Del Mar and know the neighborhood attitude but unfortunately it seems the neighbors were pretty uppity and got our 2nd car ticketed for "blocking the driveway" which was not in fact blocked. It appears they think it is their reserved spot and have a stolen Cal Trans cone to block it as the next day they had a guest parking in the same spot (no ticket..)..
Still a great place and of course the neighbors are out of the owner's control but it is not a very rental friendly place (as is common in lots of nicer neighborhoods).
