About this house rental

Start your day enjoying a view of the ocean with a cup of coffee, maybe dolphins, maybe whales, maybe pelicans.

Only steps from the bluff you can enjoy a day at the beach and easily come home for lunch. Torrey Pines State Reserve and the Torrey Pines Annex are just a few minutes walk. Miles of trails are available by bike, as is the entire coastline, a very popular weekend ride.

It's an easy stroll to Del Mar Village and world class dining as well as casual coffee. It's so much fun to enjoy a beverage and the sunset at the Del Mar Plaza, if for some reason one is bored with the perfect view from the front porch.

Whether you want a challenging hike through the Torrey Pines Reserve or a day on the chaise lounge, roll out of bed on 7th Street and you are there. Fall asleep to the sound of the surf.

Our home has been in the family for 47 years and it's comfortable.

Our family had a wonderful time here. There was plenty of space, it was well equipped, quiet and had beautiful views and scent of the salty ocean. The house is so close to many good restaurants, stores and beach access, we hardly drove anywhere. We would love to stay here again.

Perfect location with a lovely view of the ocean. The home is cozy, filled with love & warmth. We loved the collection of heart shaped rocks lining the front porch window and all of the art work, beautiful oak flooring & cute backyard. The kitchen has everything and I appreciated the spices & mustard (some VRBO’s don’t even have salt!!) Many thanks for the enjoyment

I had the pleasure of staying at this lovely home. It was the perfect set up for my little family of three. The home has everything you need for a beach stay. The neighborhood provides easy access to the beach and a lovely neighborhood park for kids about 1 mile away. You can take a stroll along the bluff just a block away. There are ocean views from the living room and front porch. I enjoyed having my morning coffee on the patio. The owner was easy to communicate with and was responsive to any needs or questions. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it for anyone with a small family.

If you're looking to just relax and enjoy the ocean... this is a great place to do it! Although you can't just 'dip' your toe easily in the water, since you're high on the bluffs in Del Mar, the sounds and vistas of the ocean are outstanding; and the flowers and fauna along paths along the shore are magnificent. Just a few blocks from "downtown" DelMar and all the restaurants and shopping... We'll be back!

The location of the house is perfect. The ocean is nearby and it is a short walk to the town of Del Mar with restaurants and shops. You can hear the sounds of the waves all day long and watch the sunset from the patio. There is a nice walk along the bluffs that you can take either to the north or south to enjoy the beautiful view. The trail to the beach requires some navigation down the hillside, but shouldn't be too difficult for someone in good condition. If you don't want to hike down the hillside, there are other public beaches a mile in either direction. The house is on the older side and has a few quirks as a result. But the photos of the house are accurate of what you are getting. We were comfortable with 4 people and worked around the single bathroom. Communication with the owner was easy.

Perfect long weekend getaway for my wife and I in Del Mar. Carol was a wonderful host, chatted twice during our stay. House was cozy, location fantastic, no A/C but used fans at night were fine. Short walk to ocean, Board and Brew for a turkado sandwich, and drive to everything else. Hope to come back again in future years.

The location of the house can’t be beat. The beach was accessible via path down the cliffs and is a locals only beach (ie not crowded at all). The pictures of the house don’t do it justice. It is clean, efficiently laid out and welcoming. Would definitely stay there again.

This was one of our multiple stays at this property which, when we visit family in San Diego, we choose to return to for its comfortable ambience, its ocean view from the living room and front outdoor sitting area, and its location about four houses down from clifftop walk overlooking the ocean and ten minute walk to beach.

Property was spotless! Perfect location close to the beach and all that Del Mar and Torrey Pines has to offer. We've stayed here previously and it never disappoints!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this property. The house itself it charming and well stocked. The location is amazing. From the living room window and front yard you have an incredible view of the Pacific Ocean and some if the best sunsets you'll ever see. There's a reason that the neighbors all flock to the cliff tops and beach each evening to take in the breathtaking sunsets and scenery. The property is also centrally located, walkable to downtown restaurants and shops and a short drive to many family friendly beaches. The beach at the end of the street is beautiful and a popular destination for local surfers, though probably too difficult to reach with my 3 year old. My 7 year old however had no issues navigating the path down to the beach. We would gladly stay again.

Our second stay in this house in Del Mar was ruined by an unscrupulous deal arranged by Carol, the owner, with her brother next door, Will. While in San Diego, my son was injured in a sporting event. He, his wife, their 14-month-old, and I needed to stay longer for him to recuperate. Carol connected us to her brother next door, who was willing to rent to us at the last minute for a high nightly fee, with a steep deposit. We paid him by Zelle. The brother’s house was a mess. For example, power tools were lying on the floor in the bedroom, the fire alarm was beeping because the battery was dead, and when I pointed out that the staircase was unsafe, Will said, “just buy a 4 x 8 piece of plywood and drill it to the post.” We canceled before moving out of Carol’s, and asked for a refund. To date, Will still has not refunded the money, and Carol has not stepped in to make us whole. Turns out, WIll's house is also on VRBO, #313025. Buyer beware.

My wife & I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The majority of our time at the home was spent on the front patio soaking in the gorgeous ocean view. It is a great location and exactly what we had hoped for. Another positive was that we did have some questions about the property before our stay, and the homeowner was prompt & attentive in addressing our inquiries. The house interior was quaint, and we had no problems with the somewhat old-school-California feel. However, some things around the house either needed replacing (worn & rusty) or were silly cheap (i.e. lamps). We've stayed in several VRBO properties, and this one was below average with respect to general furnishings and decor. It's a shame, because it is a charming, million-dollar plus home, and it would not take much to make it a gem. Our other criticism of the home was that airflow within the house was not good...even with all of the windows (that weren't painted shut) opened. We were lucky that the weather was not too warm during our stay. I believe ceiling fans in the bedrooms would have helped immensely. Finally, getting in & out of the shower is tricky. If one has mobility issues, this could prove to be a real obstacle. I don't mean to be too harsh in my review of this property. Overall, it was welcoming, and we were very pleased with our stay. We appreciate that the owner has made it available for rent. We would certainly recommend the property to future prospective renters, but also want them to be aware of what to expect.

Cozy and charming cottage on a quiet street a block from the ocean. You can't (or I couldnt) directly access the beach from there as it is quite steep. The surfers somehow negotiate with their boards though! Wonderful views from the ridge and access to the beach nearby. Owner was very responsive. Great place! lots to do in Del Mar and surrunding area.

Greatly disappointed in our accommodations. Bed linens/mattress and pillow cover were stained, ie blood and whatever else it was? This house " cottage", is in dyer need of repair and general overall cleaning and painting. Appliances are very antiquated, outside grill unsafe to use due to RUST. The location is convenient to the beach and the view from the front patio area is correct as stated online, but that's where it ends. . .
