Great location - one block from the beach, walk to everything - restaurants, shopping, even the track. Funky, retro vibe, well equipped with lots of beach gear, very comfortable. Host was very communicative, even compensated for slightly delayed check-in. We hope to return for another stay.

The best feature of this property is it's location just steps from the beach, a few more steps to Jake's, and an easy 10-min walk to the center of town. In addition, the host was very responsive, met us to let us in, and answered all my questions about what to do in the area. The top unit, where we stayed, has a small view of the ocean and lots of light. The street in front is very quiet, and we enjoyed watching the surfers park each morning. However, it is smaller than it appears (aren't they all?), but we fit in five adults and a dog just fine. The decor is definitely more seaside shabby chic than urban sleek. The plumbing and fixtures seem to be original to this sixties-era (i'm guessing) unit, but they mostly worked fine. The shower has great water pressure! Once we found the softer pillows, space heaters, etc., we were happier. It is a nice, laid-back cozy place, good for pets and kids, and the only way the location could have been better is to be right on the beach, an option we could not find.

We were very impressed with the property. The owner was very responsive to our questions and our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful beach week at this property. It was an ideal spot with grandparents and small kids age 4 and 6. There were lots of beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, body boards to enjoy the beautiful Del Mar Beach which is our favorite beach anywhere. The outdoor patio was a lovely spot to enjoy meals. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great spot to enjoy a beach vacation.

This house is in need of a complete renovation and cleaning. The upkeep is very poor and I am questioning how they were able to list on VRBO. Every time we have rented from VRBO especially in Del Mar, we have had such a positive experience except for this rental. There is no air conditioning which is understandable but absolutely no ceiling fans and all the fans provided were dirty and dusty which is why we all probably got sick staying in this home. The kitchen cabinets are from the 1950's, the refrigerator sticks every time opening it. Only 2 burners worked on the cooktop and the faucet on the sink was so cheap, I thought it was going to break. No disposal in the kitchen. The jack and jill bathroom cabinet fell on my foot the first day because it isn't properly placed, sinks wouldn't drain and neither would the bathtub which is beyond gross. The tub was so slippery it was concerning. The jack and jill doors in this bathroom were so poorly installed it was difficult to open and close. The patio was very dirty and the furniture is all broken. We almost fell through the chairs. The washing machine ran poorly and cycles took forever. The money they charge a night comes along with a certain expectation and they did not meet that expectation. We were so disappointed on many levels. In the past when renting, it has always been by a management company which is professional and takes great care of the property. This is run by the homeowner who comes and washes loads of laundry while staying at the property which was weird and awkward. I am not sure who wrote the reviews we read when deciding on a rental but we would never rent this place again or recommend renting it in the future.

We had a wonderful stay - the location couldn’t be better. The bedrooms were big. Lots of gear and toys for use. The hosts were very responsive and super friendly.

This is our second time renting this home - stayed in both units. Had a wonderful time. You cannot beat the location for this price in Del Mar. The house is in walking distance to everything that you need - including the beach. I had my 7 year old with me, easy walk back and forth to the beach throughout the day. The house has all the gear included, great wifi and direct tv for relaxing - we can’t say enough great things about this spot!

Terrific deck. Everything you need . Great beach access. Steve has thought of everything to make your stay easy and enjoyable.
