My family and I recently stayed at Will’s charming Del Mar home, and it was an unforgettable experience! If you appreciate unique, quirky homes with loads of character, this place is perfect for you. The house has a nostalgic 70s vibe with many original features, which we found incredibly charming. The location is absolutely fantastic. It’s a short walk to the beautiful beach bluffs and close to great local restaurants and coffee shops. We loved taking leisurely strolls to a nearby French bakery for breakfast. The views from the house are stunning, especially from the upper level where you can enjoy breathtaking ocean sunsets. The house itself is spacious and creatively designed. Each bedroom having its own unique bathroom was a huge plus for our family. The koi ponds added a unique touch, and our animal-loving teen enjoyed feeding the fish every morning. Will was an exceptional host, always responsive and helpful throughout our stay. His attentiveness and welcoming nature made us feel right at home. While the house has some signs of age and could be considered “funky” in some aspects, it’s part of its charm. If you’re looking for a sterile, modern hotel experience, this might not be the place for you. However, if you love character-filled homes with history you’ll love staying here. Overall, we had a fantastic stay!

This is a cool funky place to stay. Funky in a good way. We surf and like cool original houses. The back yard is great for grilling and chilling. Location is fantastic.

If you are looking for a kooky fun abode to stay in while in Del Mar this is it! If you are a clean freak, this is not for you! Not that it's dirty, but its hasn't been updated, so has some film of age. Luckily we are the former and not the latter. This is a charming house built in the 70's, with many unique features. The top room is incredibly relaxing with a full view of the ocean. The light system is retro space age. The kitchen is adequate, with accumulated utensils from over the years. The outside koi ponds are inventive, and if you have pets at home and miss them can transfer that to koi feed and care. Will is incredibly responsive and helpful. Each bedroom truly does have a bathroom, so easy to share with friends/family from afar. Beds are a big deal to us (back issues) - the upstairs bed has a nice firm mattress, and the downstairs rooms less firm, so options. The bed linens are premium quality. Would stay again, thank you Will!

Do you love unique, memorable stays? Do you like to support creative individuals who share their own spaces, rather than staying in crowded and generic hotels? If so, you will love Will's place! (As another reviewer said, it is like staying at your cool uncle's house :-) You can enjoy finding all the hand-built wood, tile and stained glass details — and see ocean-horizon sunsets and peek-a-boo views of surfers right from the dining table! The neighborhood above the cliffs in Del Mar is quieter and less crowded than being on the lower part of the beach – which we liked coming back to after busy days of “touristing”. You can easily walk to great restaurants a few blocks from the house, including a delicious French bakery. The location and vibe worked great for us. Although we enjoyed seeing surfers climbing straight down to the beach barefoot with their boards, we took the longer, more mellow routes through town or on the path along the railroad tracks, all being in our 50s and 60s. A main focus of our trip was taking a differently-abled relative to the Zoo and Safari Park for her birthday – and she loved seeing all the fish in the koi ponds each morning. They helped our animal theme come to life every day! Will was kind, welcoming and easy to communicate with - thank you for a great stay!

6 of us spent 6 nights here while checking our granddaughter in at UCSD. Her take on the house: "its like your cool uncles house"! The location is perfect, the view from the main floor of the house is spectacular. The outside room, the backyard with all the koi ponds and outdoor kitchen area were so awesome we found ourselves always gravitating there. We had ample room to spread out. The house was clean and tidy, linens were clean. Communication with Will was super easy. We felt very comfortable and relaxed here and will definitely stay again if/when we come back as a group.

This house is in a great location - walking distance to beach bluffs (and beach if you are a walker - about 3/4 of a mile) and town. The views are unbelievable. All the windows make for an almost panoramic view of the ocean and awesome sunsets. The outside ponds and waterfall are really cool. Will was very responsive when we reached out to him with questions. There were however some things that were not ideal. The biggest issue we had was being comfortable when we slept. The bed itself was comfortable but we were quite warm due to some ventilation issues and no air conditioning. I lived in SD for some years with no AC and never had an issue unless there was a heat wave. The living room would get very warm in the evening after the sun had been beating in the room, but then was very cool at night. I ended up sleeping on the coach a few nights since the bedroom was very warm. The house was definitely clean but there was a very musty smell in the house, particularly in the entry hallway. The bikes had very rusty chains so we never used them but it was nice to have beach chairs and boogie boards available. We did purchase a beach umbrella and left it there for future use. We still had a great time at the house - but thought people should be aware of these things.

This property is unique, quirky and cool. The outdoor sitting and cooking areas are beautiful and relaxing. The bedrooms are very comfortable (although the upstairs bed is a bit hard). But the upstairs living and kitchen areas were the highlight with such a beautiful view of the sunset and ocean. Although you cannot see the beach, it is in walking distance. A lovely, creative, wonderfully cool home. Although the downstairs is handicapped accessible with walk in shower, the upstairs is not.

The house is in an amazing location; walk to the overlook of the beach, walk to coffee shops and restaurants, and a short drive to other near by communities. Amazing views and very spacious. A well equipped and large outdoor kitchen. Awesome architecture!
