About this property
Charming Rio del Mar Vacation Rental
Permit #221113
Located in picturesque Rio Del Mar, this charming home has been owned and mindfully cared for by the same family since 1944. The third and fourth generations are pleased to and for the first time offer their family vacation home for rental. This truly is a much loved home, not just a place to stay.
The street level contains the living space, kitchen, and a queen bedroom. Six stair steps down from street level, the second level has a large primary/master suite with a full bath with tub, a smart TV [guests can stream from four sources using their personal accounts], and a DVD player. This level also has a second full bath with large stall shower and a bedroom with twin beds. Twelve further stair steps down, the third level is a sitting room or twin bedroom for one person with a wash basin. From this room, a doorway opens to a separate laundry room with toilet. Off the laundry room is a small railed back porch.
While the kitchen is small, it is mighty and thoughtfully contains everything guests might need to meet all their cooking needs. Wi-Fi is available throughout the house, with modems in the living area and master bedroom. The living space contains a smart TV with DISH service [guests can stream from multiple sources using their personal accounts]. There is a bar available for guest use, fully stocked with glassware. There is a mini-frig available in cupboard under TV for water/beverage storage. Beach toys, some beach chairs, boogie boards, beach bags, several sand umbrellas, and beach games are available for guest use, along with various board games, jigsaw puzzles, and a personal library with many books about the area. The patio has a table and chairs, flagpole, shade umbrella, four Adirondack chairs, and a Weber charcoal barbeque.
This home is located just a short drive away from many exciting things to do and see, as well as grocery stores, good restaurants, and other amenities. Best of all, the beach itself is located a short walk away, as are a dinner restaurant and a great spot for lunch.
