Spectacular location
Property equals or exceeds all positive promises. Location, location, location. Ocean views from deck, master bedroom and front yard. Short walk to oceanfront parks and beach and one block walk to varied restaurants. House is well equipped and instructions comprehensive so that we had little reason to call on manager. Lauren was very responsive to all pre arrival questions.

Perfect beach location
Ideal location for a beach vacation. Very short walk (5 mins) to playground and beach and only a block away from shops and restaurants. Lauren was a great host and quickly responded to any questions or needs. Kitchen is very well stocked and Lauren has provided everything you need for a day at the beach (umbrella, chairs, towels, etc).

Del Mar home in a wonderful location
Our family enjoyed our stay in this adorable Del Mar home. The owner is very nice and quick to respond when needed. She owns the attached home on the back side as well as this front home. It is an attached two unit property. The walk is a short one to all the restaurants and beach spots that we have loved over the years. It was great to visit beautiful Del Mar again. Don’t forget to spend time in the comfortable hammock out front.

Amazing trip
Definitely one of the most well stocked places that we have stayed at. Probably the only thing that you need to bring extra are chairs and an umbrella. The area was great. Close to shopping and restaurants. It was about a 10 minute walk to the beach. We had a great time!

Fun and safe in Del Mar
Super location (block to end of road to watch sunset, block to restaurants and shopping). Super clean - for a dog-friendly place we expected less. Easy street parking except mid day when surfers and sunset watchers are in abundance. Would not recommend for little kids as stairs could be tricky, but for 2-3 couples or one older family it's ideal. Kitchen had everything we needed and laundry was great for our extended stay as well. Loved the deck and tree hammock. Wish water was warmer to try their surf/boogie boards, but great beach chairs and beach towels. Everything well stocked and Lauren (owner) couldn't have been nicer to work with. Great get-away.
