Coastal Del Mar studio with fabulous views - 10 min walk to the beach!

This newly renovated studio apartment has gorgeous panoramic views of Torrey Pines State Reserve, Peñasquitos Lagoon and the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy the scenery from your windows, private balcony, and large deck. Located in a residential neighborhood, it's a short walk to a coffee shop, 4 restaurants, and Torrey Pines State Beach. Nearby Torrey Pines State Reserve has miles of trails. for every ability. Drive 2 miles north to the seaside village of Del Mar or hop on the I-5 or 56 freeways to easily access within minutes all that beautiful San Diego has to offer.

The studio is bright and airy; windows and skylights provide lots of natural light but black out shades provide darkness when you want to sleep in. We've tried to provide everything we like in a home-away-from home! The modern kitchen has what's generally needed to prepare, cook and store food, but if there's an additional appliance you like to use, we're happy to lend it. The furnishings are contemporary, and we're told that the bed and bath linens are especially comfy. Washer and dryer are on property. Store your golf clubs, bike or surf/paddle board in the secure garage. Beach chairs, towels and umbrella are provided, and there is an outdoor shower to wash off sand. Off-street driveway parking spot is included.

The studio is located above our detached garage. You access it by entering our shared, enclosed courtyard, then have one flight of stairs to your front door and private deck. Motion detector lights illuminate your way after dark.

To help you plan and pack, when you book your stay we'll send you a digital copy of our Welcome Guide which has detailed information about:
- what's in the apartment
- where to get what you need nearby; there are dozens of restaurants, groceries, shops and services
- our area

Thinking about a long stay? Save 20% by booking your dates with these tips in mind:
- We offer a 10% discount for stays of 4 or more weeks.
- Like many cities, San Diego has a short stay Transient Occupancy Tax (10.5 %) which by law Vrbo must add to stays less than one month. Stays of more than a month are exempt from the tax.

Although our setting is generally very tranquil, there are noises out of our control that we would like you to be aware of. Trains occasionally traverse the Peñasquitos Lagoon valley and sometimes aircraft from MiraMar Airbase stray from their normal flight path. All these occurrences are commonplace in coastal Del Mar; we hope they won't impact your stay with us.

Whether you're looking for a beautiful spot to work remotely, a place to call home while you explore San Diego, or just stay put and relax, we look forward to hosting you. Feel free to message us with any questions.

Quite gem

The studio was such a great retreat. The bed was very comfortable and everything was very clean. The kitchen was well stocked for the times we wanted to make our own meals. The patio was nicely appointed with lounge chairs, chairs and a fire pit. We walked to the beach and to the local eateries that were very good.

Great Studio Apt.

Really enjoyed our stay at this clean, cozy, airy property. Very convenient to the beach, restaurants Torrey Pines, etc. Apartment has pretty much everything needed for a comfortable stay. Carol is a wonderful host, one of the best I’ve encountered in my VRBO stays. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place for 1 or 2 people.

Del Mar Delight Delivers

We loved this cozy little nest. The suite is very well outfitted with everything we needed for an enjoyable 12 day stay. We really appreciated the orientation guide and the use of the State Parks Pass. Carol and Paul were friendly, and it was a pleasure to chat with them. The location gave us great access to hikes, beaches, and a fine selection of local restaurants. The bed was super comfortable. We would be delighted to stay there again.

Perfect

The apartment was perfect, and Carol was so helpful and kind. It was comfortable, clean and well equipped. We made good use of the park pass. Absolutely loved Torrey Pines! My daughter and I felt safe and the location was perfect for exploring the southern coast. (We had a car.). Spent a day at Balboa Park, saw seals and sea lions in La Jolla, enjoyed the sandy Solana beaches and the towns of Cardiff by the Sea and Encinitas. Highly recommend this lovely place!

Perfect Place For Relaxing

Gorgeous views of the Los Penasquitos Lagoon and Torrey Pines Sate Natural Reserve and coastline. Lots of hiking trails at the Reserve or just down the road at the Torrey Pines Extension, as well as miles of beach to walk. Many good restaurants within walking distance. The studio itself is very clean and well appointed. There are 2 deck areas for morning or afternoon sun. The hosts, Carol and Paul couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating. The only minor problem with the area is the amount of air traffic from the San Diego Naval Air Station, which can be loud at times. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic Casita

Everything was really great. Location is absolutely perfect, with so much to do within walking distance. The best NY pizza west of New York is 5 minutes away by foot. 5 good restaurants within walking distance. Beach is also walking distance or you can park using the hosts Annual Pass at no charge. Host provides umbrella and beach chairs, towels etc. Driveway parking at the property. Only thing I would have preferred is the chase lounger and fire pit to be on the ocean side of the Casita. They are behind it but not a deal killer. We will be back for sure!

Unbelievable Getaway in Del Mar

This was our first time in San Diego and we had no idea what to expect. We have stayed in at least 25 VRBO homes in both the States and Europe over the years. Carol and Paul's level of hospitality was unmatched. Every detail (including personalized breakfast choices) was met. The place was spotless and the bed was perfect. By far, our favorite spot was the two seater table overlooking the Torrey Pines State Park. Carol provided a parking pass (normally $20 a day) that also allowed us to drive to the top of the park and walk as many trails as we could handle (Breathtaking views). We hit many beaches, Old Town, Gaslamp district, and more. My husband golfed at four spectacular courses with his favorite (Torrey Pines) being just 5 minutes away. You are truly in the center of everything. I am already missing our sanctuary and hope to go back very soon. Thank you, Carol and Paul for a wonderful vacation!!

This is the second time we stayed here and this time we stayed for 32 days. Everything was done to make our stay as pleasant and convenient as possible. Carol and Paul were outstanding hosts and couldn't have been better. Location was also outstanding. Walk to restaurants, beaches, and access to trails and all San Diego has to offer.The Torry Pines Preserves ,minutes away, have world class trais with breathtaking views. To cap it off, a protected 25 plus mile bike trail is less than a half mile away.We are looking forward to returning.

Amazing Location and Hosts!

Our stay in the Coastal Del Mar condo was spectacular and so were our hosts, Paul and Carol. They were so helpful with beach gear we might need, to helping us with a get together of 6 of our friends on the larger deck. Carol brought out a banquet table for us, and Paul made sure we had enough chairs and wine glasses. thank you so much.The location is amazing. Bird watching, sunrises and sunsets all are here! Several restaurants and a liquor store nearby. It really is only .6 mile walk to the beach through the North Torrey Pines State Park parking lot. From there you can go north into town or south to Torrey Pines (up the big hill with fantastic views!).If you get a chance, go to the Poseidon Restaurant in Del Mar for happy hour. Great appetizers and drinks at almost half price; Plus the ocean view. If you have your bike or want to hike/walk, there is a very good bike path just east of the condo. It is the SR- 56 Bike path which parallels the Ted Williams Parkway. It is a tad noisy at times due to the cars but very pretty. For the two of us, there was plenty of space in the condo. Already looking forward to our return trip back. Again, thank you to such amazing hosts.

Three Great Weeks in Del Mar

Carol and Paul were excellent hosts. They went out of their way to help us in many ways, which we appreciated, as we were new to the area.The unit was also well-equipped. The location was very walkable to coffee, a few restaurants and, though a bit farther, to the central area of Del Mar and its amenities. And still it was near enough to the rest of San Diego. We would definitely stay there again.
