DEL MAR RETREAT & OCEAN VIEW! Walk to the beach!

STUNNING newly renovated condo overlooking the famous Del Mar Fairgrounds. This beautiful home has breathtaking views of the ocean and racetrack and is located in the heart of Solana Beach and Del Mar. Walk to the beach, bars, and restaurants.

This property is the perfect unit to call home away from home. It has abundant natural light, a fully loaded kitchen for cooking, Netflix, Amazon Prime TV, Disney+, and Hulu, and high speed internet. Master bedroom includes king size bed, desk, two closets, large, en suite bathroom and TV. Second bedroom includes bunk bed-twin over full (crib also available). The second full bathroom is accessible from the hallway. Washer/dryer, iron/ironing board, pool access and pool towels, beach chairs, boogie boards and sand toys! During race season, watch the horses from the comfort of the patio.

Here's what some of our guests (check out our reviews at the "other" big listing site) have to say:
"Anne's home was even more beautiful in person than the photos. The view was incomparable"
"Anne is a wonderful host and quick to respond to answer any questions. It has a great view of the ocean and race track and just a short walk to beach."
"This place was absolutely stunning! I honestly didn’t want to leave the home to go out and enjoy the city."
"The view was incredible and we were even able to watch the horses run in the morning. Everything was super clean and tidy and honestly, it was everything (and more) we could want."

Guest access
You will have access to the entire house, including the private garage with one parking spot. Please note that guests will not have access to mailbox. If you are a longer stay, you will need to open a local P.O. Box for mail to be forwarded.

Great Place to Stay!

We stayed here for just over a week and it was perfect for our family of four. It was clean, spacious, and in a perfect location. Easy access to great food, beaches, the railway, San Diego, the fair (and horse track) and anything else that you might want to do in the area. We HIGHLY recommend and will be back.

Ideal family vacation

Great location with close proximity to beaches, restaurants and all the kid attractions. We did Legoland, Sesame Place, San Diego Zoo and a SEAL tour from Seaport Village and this home provided the perfect kid-friendly home base for adventuring. The house was fully equipped with everything we could need and was even more spacious than the pictures show. We look forward to staying here again!

The home is spectacular with stunning ocean views. It took us a mere 5 minutes to walk to the beach and had all the essentials, from kitchen to bedroom. Our hosts were super responsive and accommodating, from our arrival to departure.

Great Ocean View

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I loved the panoramic view of the ocean. Solana. Beach and close by Del Mar are beautiful beach towns. The place is well kept and clean. A feature that I appreciated is having a garage in which to park my car. Anne is an exemplary host. She is easy to communicate with and will promptly respond to messages. I would definitely stay there again.

Therapy at Dog Beach

The property was fantastic. Two items that could use attention, top sheet on the bed had a rip in it and the plug in air fresheners gave the house an unnatural scent, also a bit more attention to detail in the towel linen area. We loved looking out and seeing the ocean!!! Dog beach was amazing. We sat and watched all the dogs play, it was like being at a broadway show/sitcom. We would definitely stay at this property again

Perfect Condo for Del Mar Races and Access to Local Amenities

The primary purpose of our trip was to attend a couple of days of racing at Del Mar. We had a clear view of the track and enjoying watching the workouts each morning. Even though the home is above a very busy street, we just kept the patio door closed and we heard no road noise. The home was well equipped and had everything we needed during our stay. Really appreciated having a garage for our car. Communication with Anne was very easy and we had no trouble with either check-in or check-out. We would definitely stay at this home again.

Great North County coastal location

Great North County SD coastal location! Quick access to the 101 coast highway and the I-5 freeway. We love the small town coastal vibe of Del Mar & Solana Beach and this condo is located right in between the two. Pictures on-line are an accurate representation of the space. Lots of windows and a view of the ocean. Beds were all very comfortable and showers had amazing water pressure (a small but important detail for women!). The two car garage was convenient for the road bikes we rented as most condos here have only a car port. Anne was always quick to respond via text to any questions we had. My husband would say the only downside was the traffic noise while sitting on the deck, but that can be hard to avoid in such a desirable coastal area.
