About this property

Cottage by the beach, restaurants and shopping

Newly Remodeled 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom! Quiet guest cottage with a private entrance is just an easy 4 minute walk to the Cedros Design District and a 6 to 8 minute walk to the beach or train station. From the train station, you can take the free shuttle to the Del Mar Racetrack during race season, or take the train to Old Town, Disneyland or Downtown San Diego. It’s also just a short walk to the farmers’ market, and dozens of restaurants and shops.
I also have another guest bedroom with a bathroom available that sleeps up to 2 people with a queen bed. See my other listing for details. You have the option of booking 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for 4 people or 1 br/ 1 bath for 2, Inquire for further details.
This immaculate attached cottage has Brazilian wood floors, ceiling fans in all bedrooms, a full kitchen with granite counter tops, new stainless steel appliances, and dishwasher. Also features 2 large flat screen LED TVs with digital channels. Cozy combo Dining/Living area with TV includes Roku with a Netflix subscription and hundreds of free streaming channels, and well as a Work space with a desk. Also has WiFi, gas BBQ, washer and dryer, and lots of closet space. (read FAQs for more details)

This is a great location that is ideal for one couple looking for a quiet and restful getaway or for a professional businessman or woman who are here for extended periods of work. As much as we would like to, we are not able to accept visitors at any time for legal reasons, not even for a few minutes, no exceptions, no guest exchanges. But we do have lots of cafes around us where you can visit with family and friends. Thank you for complying with the contract rules.

Central heating max temperature is 70 F. If you have a condition that requires higher indoor temperatures, this may not be the right place for you.

Public EV charging station walking distance nearby at 330 S Cedros.

We are close to the ocean and have never had the need for AC, but we recently installed a central AC system which is available for an additional charge of $20/night. (This is charged as an add-on fee to keep the nightly rate lower as it is rarely used).

4-What is the size of the bed?
Queen size
6-Does the cottage have a private yard?

8-Can we check out late?
Due to cleaning schedule we are not able to offer early check-in or late check-outs.
9-Can I mail packages or letters to the cottage?
The cottage is on the back side and has no mail service. Regular USPS mail in the name of a guest will be blocked at the post office. FedEx, UPS and other delivery systems are okay and will arrive to the main house, and we will bring to the cottage upon request. If you disregard this guidance and use USPS to send mail or packages to the house, please do not request your package from me, because there is nothing I can do about it.
10-Can I have visitors?
No non-registered guest permitted on premises-inside or out, including our shared driveway as we are located on a private drive. It's a stipulation of our insurance and the local home owners. We do have lots of public places like cafes and restaurants around us to visit with friends and family. $150/per unregistered guest
11-Can I keep my maximum of 2 guests, but exchange some for others during the stay? No, just your original registered guests only, no exchanges. We keep the changes to a minus out of respect for our neighbors on the quiet private drive where the unit is located.
12- If I rent this cottage as a one bedroom instead of 2, would there be any share space? No, we have this cottage available for rent as a one bedroom or 2 bedroom option, but when we rent it as a one bedroom we just lock the second bedroom and second bathroom and they stay unused.

A Gem Of A Location
This is a real find, my husband and I have spent about a month in Solana Beach and Del Mar for most of the last 13 years. Without a doubt this is the favorite location we have found and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. You couldn’t ask for a more available and pleasant host who is very helpful and responds quickly. The entryway is private, large and a nice place to sit in the afternoon sun The unit is very nice, the furniture comfortable, layout functional and pleasant to be in. There is a full sized refrigerator and gas stove/oven as well as an assortment of cookware. We didn’t avail ourselves of it but there is also gas BBQ. The bedroom and kitchen/living room both have ceiling fans which is all the cooling you will likely need. The living room consistently catches a nice breeze which is very pleasant. The full-size washer and dryer are very handy if you’re on an extended stay. There are bikes and an assortment of beach toys, chairs, umbrella etc to keep you entertained. The location is very convenient, especially if you like walking neighborhoods and beaches; the hosts can help you out with recommendations. If you enjoy the outdoors you’re not likely to run out of things to do. This is an excellent choice for a vacation or business stay, I highly recommend it.

Great stay!
Our stay was just perfect! The location was convenient to so many restaurants as well as the beach. We also used the bikes almost every day. We highly recommend this lovely cottage to anyone visiting Solana Beach!

Great location in Solana Beach!
I didn't spend much time in the room, other than sleeping, because I was in town to visit family and friends. The owner's were great communicators, especially when there was a brief electrical outage. The beaches, restaurants and shops in the vicinity are all within walking distance and well....as a native of the area, Solana Beach is just great! I will look forward to staying there again on my next return to the area.

Cozy haven
Having lived in Del Mar for many years, my wife and I visit North County once or twice a year, and have never used Solana Beach as our base. We are very glad we stayed at Martha's cottage this time. The space was quiet, immaculate and very well appointed with every creature comfort in mind. We will be very happy to return on a future trip.

The unit is located in a quiet area just a block from Cedros, the main drag in Solana Beach, where you can find 2 good coffee shops and a few decent restaurants (overall Solana Beach is lacking in good restaurants, which is a shame). It is well-designed and super airy with plenty of light and no noise, and extremely comfortable I would highly recommend it.

Solana Beach is a great place to relax.
This cottage was extremely clean with a great kitchen. The location close to the beach was nice, but parking was a challenge. We did not realize that the cottage was on an upper level, and that was a disappointment. Everything else was great. The proprietors were most cordial.

Beautiful cottage near the beach
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Martha's cottage! It was clean and comfortable and walking distance to the beach, stores and restaurants. We appreciated use of bikes to explore the area. Martha also gave great recommendations for local restaurants and trails.

Great great away!
My husband and I were in town to visit family. The cottage was conveniently located, very well equipped, very clean and very quiet. The property manager and her husband are onsite and welcomed us when we arrived late Friday night to be sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed walking down to Peet’s for coffee. The beach was short walk from there. The weather was perfect. It was a great weekend! Looking forward to visiting again. Thanks you!
