About this apartment rental
This newly renovated studio apartment has gorgeous panoramic views of Torrey Pines State Reserve, Peñasquitos Lagoon and the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy the scenery from your windows, private balcony, and large deck. Located in a residential neighborhood, it's a short walk to a coffee shop, 4 restaurants, and Torrey Pines State Beach. Nearby Torrey Pines State Reserve has miles of trails. for every ability. Drive 2 miles north to the seaside village of Del Mar or hop on the I-5 or 56 freeways to easily access within minutes all that beautiful San Diego has to offer.
The studio is bright and airy; windows and skylights provide lots of natural light but black out shades provide darkness when you want to sleep in. We've tried to provide everything we like in a home-away-from home! The modern kitchen has what's generally needed to prepare, cook and store food, but if there's an additional appliance you like to use, we're happy to lend it. The furnishings are contemporary, and we're told that the bed and bath linens are especially comfy. Washer and dryer are on property. Store your golf clubs, bike or surf/paddle board in the secure garage. Beach chairs, towels and umbrella are provided, and there is an outdoor shower to wash off sand. Off-street driveway parking spot is included.
The studio is located above our detached garage. You access it by entering our shared, enclosed courtyard, then have one flight of stairs to your front door and private deck. Motion detector lights illuminate your way after dark.
To help you plan and pack, when you book your stay we'll send you a digital copy of our Welcome Guide which has detailed information about:
- what's in the apartment
- where to get what you need nearby; there are dozens of restaurants, groceries, shops and services
- our area
Thinking about a long stay? Save 20% by booking your dates with these tips in mind.
- We offer a 10% discount for stays of 4 or more weeks.
- Like many cities, San Diego has a short stay Transient Occupancy Tax (10.5 %) which by law Vrbo must add to stays less than one month. Stays of more than a month are exempt from the tax.
Although our setting is generally very tranquil, there are noises out of our control that we would like you to be aware of. Monday mornings the trash pickup is at 7:00 am; trains occasionally traverse the Peñasquitos Lagoon valley and sometimes aircraft from MiraMar Airbase stray from their normal flight path. All these occurrences are commonplace in coastal Del Mar; we hope they won't impact your stay with us.
Whether you're looking for a beautiful spot to work remotely, a place to call home while you explore San Diego, or just stay put and relax, we look forward to hosting you. Feel free to message us with any questions.

We loved our stay! The owners were very kind, accommodating, and generous. The space was impeccable. Cleanest bnb I've ever stayed at. It had everything we needed and was a close walk to restaurants, the beach, and Torrey Pines trails. Beautiful view of Torrey Pines from the house. Highly recommend!

Great stay in a fantastic location. Property just minutes from the beach as well as incredible walks on top of Torrey Pines . There are 2 balconies, one with a few chairs and umbrellas. The other with a table and a couple of chairs with a great view where we ate breakfast every day. The hosts, Carol and Paul (lovely people) have outfitted the condo with everything one would need.
In addition, as a cyclist, I found a protected bike trail less than a 1/2 mile from the property that goes a significant distance with a lot of spur trails to explore.

Really enjoyed our stay at this clean, cozy, airy property. Very convenient to the beach, restaurants Torrey Pines, etc. Apartment has pretty much everything needed for a comfortable stay. Carol is a wonderful host, one of the best I’ve encountered in my VRBO stays.
Would recommend to anyone looking for a place for 1 or 2 people.

The place is impeccable, everything you can possibly need is there for you in this adorable apartment. Carol is a top notch host. The views are gorgeous. Great food options are around the corner. We travel a lot but this place is definitely in top of our list now. We can't wait to come back.

We stayed at the Coastal Del Mar studio for nine days. The unit is very well situated near the Torrey Pines State Park, and we found the place well furnished and sparkly clean when we arrived. The unit included all the amenities that we could imagine, and even some that we could not have imagined (like the white noise box to ensure that we sleep like babies!). Carol and Paul are very warm, gracious and helpful hosts, and meeting them made our stay extra special. They provided a pass to the Torrey Pine State park which we used on several occasion during our stay. Carol also provided a detailed booklet with information on their condo as well as places of interest in the area. We highly recommend this place for anyone who is visiting this area.

This adorable space had absolutely everything needed and was in a fabulous location! It’s in a quiet spot with nearby restaurants and very close to the beach. Hosts were very communicative and helpful along the way—would love to come again!

Have to say my wife and I were pretty dismayed at the selection of properties available in San Diego, then we looked just a little further afield and found this absolute gem of a property in Del Mar - just a few minutes up I-5!
The studio was perfectly located in the quiet but gorgeous Del Mar, just a short walk to an incredible beach and a short drive to anything and everything going on in San Diego. We were able to explore beautiful nearby Torrey Pines State Park with the park pass the owners lent to us, and were steps away from a great New York style pizza place and local burrito/taco stand.
The apartment itself was perfect and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was a nice secluded guest apartment at Carol and Paul’s beautiful home - separate from the main house and with its own entrance, it was perfectly private, but with probably the best views of the whole place! Wish we had made more use of the separate terrace!
Our hosts were extremely accommodating and accessible, and met all our impromptu needs. Can’t say enough good things about our stay with Carol and Paul!
5.0
The place was perfect. There was so much thought that went into the set up - I wanted for nothing. The bed is super comfy - the kitchen / bathroom is so well stocked with essentials and more. It had everything.
Carol & Paul are delightful host. Amazing communication and beyond kind. They made the stay even better!
The place is perfectly located near Torrey Pines Beach - I walked to Del Mar a couple of times - a few miles with ocean views. Close to the highway.
If a small place will work for you - it is absolutely perfect! I couldn’t recommend it more!
They go out of their way to make sure your stay is a great one! I will stay again!

The apartment was perfect, and Carol was so helpful and kind. It was comfortable, clean and well equipped. We made good use of the park pass. Absolutely loved Torrey Pines! My daughter and I felt safe and the location was perfect for exploring the southern coast. (We had a car.). Spent a day at Balboa Park, saw seals and sea lions in La Jolla, enjoyed the sandy Solana beaches and the towns of Cardiff by the Sea and Encinitas. Highly recommend this lovely place!

We had a wonderful week long stay in beautiful Del Mar.
The studio has a fantastic location, convenient to everything with a great view. Hosts were very communicative and had many great recommendations for our stay. Perfect place for two people with plenty of storage space and a well stocked kitchen. Having laundry access was a plus as well. We really appreciate your king hospitality and look forward to our next visit!!

This studio apartment has all you need. Cozy, clean with the essentials. Proximity to restaurants and the beach. Sunsets you see on postcards. Carol and Paul are the nicest people. If you don’t require lots of space this is your dream.

Carol & Paul ensured that everything would be--and was--wonderful with their rental studio apartment. It was beautifully clean, serene, relaxing, and well stocked in ways that matter, allowing guests to focus upon enjoying their relaxation time. They are wonderful, thoughtful, warm human beings whose home was a very welcoming and lovely place to land. They are incredibly caring, accommodating, and their home reflects them. Looking forward to future visits with gratitude. :)

Gorgeous views of the Los Penasquitos Lagoon and Torrey Pines Sate Natural Reserve and coastline. Lots of hiking trails at the Reserve or just down the road at the Torrey Pines Extension, as well as miles of beach to walk. Many good restaurants within walking distance.
The studio itself is very clean and well appointed. There are 2 deck areas for morning or afternoon sun. The hosts, Carol and Paul couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating.
The only minor problem with the area is the amount of air traffic from the San Diego Naval Air Station, which can be loud at times.
Would definitely recommend!
5.0
A super fabulous place! The apartment was charming, spacious and very bright. It was very clean with all the amenities. It is walking distance to the beach and a few eateries along the way including a coffee shop. The location is very easy to get around and sight see. We went to several different beaches. Whole Foods is not far. The coastal cycling trail is so easy to get to and the bird watching in the wetland preserve from the balcony was a favorite thing for me to do. If you like bird watching do not forget to bring your binoculars! The hosts are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend staying here.

This place was absolutely perfect for my husband and I's month long stay in Del Mar. Everything we could have needed was provided for us (parking pass for beach, beach chairs, beach bags + towels, kitchen supplies, laundry, etc). Anything we needed or asked for was promptly responded to by our amazing hosts. It is the perfect location - distant ocean view, walkable to the beach, and walkable to a couple restaurants + a coffee shop. The bed was comfortable, and even though the place is a studio it had plenty of room for my husband and I to work from home for the whole month. The cherry on top was the patio that we were able to sit out on and enjoy the weather + view from. 100% would recommend this VRBO!

We were here for a week. The studio was immaculately clean. All appliances were top of the line. The unit was like brand new... attractively painted with nice furnishings. It was convenient to have a dresser for clothing and a large closet as well. One of our favorite features was a small writing desk that was beneath a window. The view was out to the Penasquitos Lagoon and the north side of Torrey Pines State Park. Lovely. There was also a sweet little outside balcony area terrific for morning coffee or wine and sunsets.
Owners were courteous, friendly and responsive to a few requests we had. Only con was traffic noise from a very busy road nearby. We found that good quality ear plugs worked well for sleeping. Bring if you are noise sensitive like we are.
Carol and Paul were great hosts. We would recommend.

The studio has so much light, it is heaven sent. The beautiful windows allow you to look out on the preserve and contemplate for hours. It was so destressing, I felt like I went to a spa for the week. There is a beautiful deck to sit out on and a smaller balcony to enjoy your morning coffee. Carol and Paul could not be more accomodating hosts. Two of the most interesting and kind people I have had the pleasure of staying with.

We had a wonderful stay at the flat. The space is immaculately curated, and the hosts are wonderful. Very much enjoyed the view and the location close to the ocean. we would love to come back! Highly recommended!

Everything was really great. Location is absolutely perfect, with so much to do within walking distance. The best NY pizza west of New York is 5 minutes away by foot. 5 good restaurants within walking distance. Beach is also walking distance or you can park using the hosts Annual Pass at no charge. Host provides umbrella and beach chairs, towels etc. Driveway parking at the property. Only thing I would have preferred is the chase lounger and fire pit to be on the ocean side of the Casita. They are behind it but not a deal killer. We will be back for sure!

The apartment came just as advertised and was as neat as a pin. Paul and Carol couldn’t have been nicer or more responsive. I would certainly stay there again and recommend it to others.

This was our first time in San Diego and we had no idea what to expect. We have stayed in at least 25 VRBO homes in both the States and Europe over the years. Carol and Paul's level of hospitality was unmatched. Every detail (including personalized breakfast choices) was met. The place was spotless and the bed was perfect. By far, our favorite spot was the two seater table overlooking the Torrey Pines State Park. Carol provided a parking pass (normally $20 a day) that also allowed us to drive to the top of the park and walk as many trails as we could handle (Breathtaking views). We hit many beaches, Old Town, Gaslamp district, and more. My husband golfed at four spectacular courses with his favorite (Torrey Pines) being just 5 minutes away. You are truly in the center of everything. I am already missing our sanctuary and hope to go back very soon. Thank you, Carol and Paul for a wonderful vacation!!

We really enjoyed our three week stay at this Vrbo. Exceptionally clean and well stocked with beautiful views. The location is fantastic with a short walk to the Torrey Pines State Beach, a coffee shop and a few restaurants, plus easy access to touristy coastal towns as well as downtown San Diego. The hosts, Carol and Paul, are super gracious and thoughtful. Del Mar is a lovely town with nice restaurants, parks, and beaches, plus a nice farmers market on Saturdays. Our dog really enjoyed our morning walks at the Del Mar Dog Beach. We would love to stay here again and highly recommend this Vrbo!

A completely delightful stay from start to finish! It feels so safe, so clean, and so well thought out to maximize comfort. Everything is lovely, from the bathroom towels, to the art, the bedspread, the paint colors, etc. And I've never stayed at a rental property that was so well stocked with everything I could possibly need.😍
The hosts are incredibly thoughtful, friendly and accommodating. I felt right at home and would love to stay in this property again!

We had a wonderful three week stay in this beautiful private studio. Carol and Paul were gracious, very responsive, and helpful hosts. We especially appreciated the proximity to the ocean and Torrey Pines State Park and our two terraces, both with sea views. Several nearby restaurants and a convenience store were handy and delightful Del Mar is just a short drive away. This is the perfect retreat for relaxation, hiking, and exploring San Diego’s many attractions!

The apartment was clean, comfortable, light & bright. They thought of everything and added nice little touches everywhere. You really do not need to bring a thing with you for a beach vacation, they have supplied everything you need to enjoy the area.

Well-appointed solitary efficiency unit. Great views and light from larger windows. Excellent location with several restaurants within walking distance. Adjacent to Torrey Pines State Park with trails and cliff views of the coastal Pacific. Your hosts (Paul and Carol), provide for all your needs, to ensure you have a pleasant stay. Excellent for couples visiting Coastal San Diego County.

Our stay in Del Mar was fantastic! The luxurious studio was equipped with all the amenities we could have desired and the host was incredibly accommodating to our needs.
Additional highlights included: the bright and airy studio, easy access to beaches and parks, and a peaceful location that was just outside of the busy downtown area, but still offered plenty of nearby conveniences.
As someone who loves being in nature, the stunning views of the ever-changing lagoon and breathtaking sunsets were truly rejuvenating. We can't wait to come back and experience it all again!
