THE DEEP DIVE
All BeachHauses are engineered for simple, easy living. All BeachHauses feature self check-in and check-out. They're stocked with beach toys, beach towels, bath towels, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, olive oil, and cooking-ready kitchens.
Drop down the road and onto the beach: it's a 2 minute walk with a great crosswalk, and totally flat. All the better for the beach toys you have in tow, found waiting for you in the shared garage with your own little wagon. Play in the sand, relax back into the sun, boogie board or surf. Then come back to a truly cooking-ready kitchen, an outdoor shower, your own private fenced back yard. The owners spend weeks here every year so you know it's livable. All you have to do is come.

Super spot .. great amenities .. enjoyed our 3 day stay .. will return one day to this home!

We rented the Seahorse Cottage while we were in town for my daughter's horse show and we loved our stay! Clean, cozy, well decorated, comfortable beds and everything we needed for our stay. We loved the personal touches and will definitely be back.

Great location with an easy walk to the beach and restaurants. The cottage is nicely decorated and well-appointed with everything we needed to be comfortable. It was very clean and the beds have the most comfortable mattress and linens. The back yard is beautiful with tall plants all around providing absolute privacy. The grassy area was perfect for our dog to run around. Unfortunately, we had car trouble the day before we were to check out. Since we were driving through the desert to get back to Phoenix we were hesitant to drive home without having a mechanic look at it. I texted Beachaus to see if we could extend our stay but the Seahorse cottage was already booked. However, they found us another unit nearby that was available and we were able to go directly there when we checked out. They turned a stressful situation into a blessing and saved our trip! We will definitely be coming back to this cottage and using Beachaus for all of our beach vacations!

My husband, my 18 month old son and I stayed here for the weekend. Everything was perfect and everything we needed was there. We didn't have the opportunity to make it to the beach but the number of extras in the garage to use was quite frankly impressive, and super organized (like everything else in the home). The internet worked great. The kitchen appliances were super clean. Additionally, the owners are very responsive. The private outdoor space is a super nice plus and the washer and dryer. Last but not least, great location for Del Mar and Solana Beach. Even San Diego (we did the zoo) was only about a 40 min drive on a Sunday afternoon. I would 100% recommend staying here and hope we get to again. Thank you!!

I selected this property specifically for its proximity to the dog beach. I was visiting family and travel with my dog so I wanted him to be able to enjoy the beach as well. The off-leash dog beach is within walking distance of the cottage. The cottage has a fully fenced back yard and a hose to rinse my dog off after the beach and a small deck for him to dry off on. The cottage was charming and comfortable. If you are noise sensitive, you can here the light rail occasionally. We had a super nice stay and would definitely consider staying again.

Really wonderful location, and a very cute property. The yard is great for a dog and a casual bbq dinner.

Loved this place so much. It has a wonderful beach bungalow vibe. Very clean. The back patio and yard were well kept and relaxing. Location was awesome! Owners responded within minutes with any questions we had. I hope we can stay here again the next time we are in the area.

This is a perfect location for the beach at Del Mar, while the place is very small, it is perfect for a small family or a couple. I stayed with my adult son during the stay and the living area is small with a small couch and one chair. So there is not much space but the location is perfect-hence the 4 star rating, as another chair would be nice:)

Property managers do a good job. House was in good condition and well equipped. Would stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation in this adorable bungalow. The location can’t be beat! It had all the essentials for our family, including a high chair, toddler step, beach toys and a wagon. We also appreciated how quiet it was at night.

I gave 5’s across the board with the exception of cleanliness … only because we found some broken glass between the couch and side table but this could’ve been easily overseen by cleaners… we only found it because of my one year old crawling. We loved the backyard and the proximity to the beach.. it is literally minutes from beach.
Only downside is you can’t really walk to get food, it’s on the other side of the (bridge?) not sure what to call it and if you do walk through the neighborhood it’s a good long walk .. not a huge deal but just FYI for anyone who wants to walk to get food or coffee…
Overall we loved this home and our stay and the communication with the property team was exceptional. As long as you are good with sharing a wall with neighbors this house is perfect.

We stayed 3 nights at this little cottage and had a wonderful time! The cottage is very clean and decorated nicely. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and utensils. The queen bed was very comfortable. We took our 2 dogs and we were very pleased with the fully fenced backyard and having the dog beach just down the street. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe.
Lots of beach gear in the garage for your use as well as beach towels.
We would definitely love to stay here again :)

I'm sure I'm not alone in having had some bad VRBO experiences, to the point that I have mostly gone back to staying in hotels. HOWEVER, this rental is the way VRBO used to be! No crazy fees, the place was absolutely lovely, the communication was amazing! I would absolutely stay here again, and I probably will since I'm in the area so much these days. These folks really do it right.

We loved this property, it's excellent location - across from the beach in a quiet area, the private patio - the yard was perfect for our dog, and the little notes and touches from management. Just lovely. Management was also very helpful and accommodating.

I came into town, for a family wedding. I knew that my grandchildren would love the location, and they did. There were wagons and children's toys, plenty of beach towels, washer, dryer, and beach chairs. It was just perfect.

My wife, son, and I stayed here for a wedding that we were in town for. Property was perfect for the 3 of us and the location doesn’t get any better with a magnificent beach right across the street. Highly recommend this property and would definitely stay again.

Great location!
The location, check in, check out and communication were fabulous. The place was well-stocked and parking was easy. Unfortunately it’s very small (smaller than a Hyatt Place Hotel), old furniture and not very clean (everything was sticky). It would be fine for 2 people, maybe 3, but not 4. It should be listed at less than $300.

Perfect location, wonderful house
We had a wonderful stay at the Seahorse cottage! The location was spectacular— just a few short blocks from an expansive and breathtaking beach. The property was perfect, with a great outdoor sitting area, lovely living room area and three comfy beds. The place looks and feels exactly as described. The host was incredibly accommodating is so many ways and helped make our stay comfy and special. Del Mar is a fantastic spot for families, a gaggle of girlfriends or a couple on a getaway. And the Seahorse is the ideal spot to enjoy it. I would def come back! Thanks for a great stay.

Great Del Mar beach cottage
This cottage was wonderful! It is so close to the beach at 25th street in Del Mar! We could easily walk down the beach to Del Mar restaurants. The cottage was very clean, easy to enter, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen had every thing we needed. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a convenient beach location that isn't a hotel!

Lovely!
We had a lovely stay! The bungalow was adorable and very clean. Just a short walk to the beach. We loved that we were so close to dog beach and great eateries as well. The recommendations that were left for us were perfect. Couldn’t ask for more.

A perfect little cottage
We were on a roadtrip to tour colleges in Southern California and decided to stay near the beach to have a bit of fun in between. What luck we picked the Seahorse Cottage! This turned out to be my daughter's favorite part of our 4 leg trip. We stayed in 4 different rentals over 10 days, and this one was the overall winner. It's compact, but very livable. It had everything we needed, and when we couldn't figure something out the owner responded immediately to help us out.
We loved the private backyard and ate all our meals there. It's also very quiet at night, which is something you don't always get with a beach rental. Really wonderful and we definitely hope to return.

Cozy Cottage
Cozy cottage with close proximity to the beach and easy access to dining and shopping. Parking was a bit tight. Bathroom needs a ventilation system, and there was no air conditioning. Cute decor and plenty of seating in the living room and kitchen. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Perfect little beach cottage
We loved the beach cottage it was just what we thought a beach cottage should be, . Comfortable, cute and in a great location. We also liked the backyard and having the garage full of surfboards, beach chairs and even a wagon so we could transport beach accessories to beach that was a few
Blocks away.
