About this property

Start your day enjoying a view of the ocean with a cup of coffee, maybe dolphins, maybe whales, maybe pelicans.

Only steps from the bluff you can enjoy a day at the beach and easily come home for lunch. Torrey Pines State Reserve and the Torrey Pines Annex are just a few minutes walk. Miles of trails are available by bike, as is the entire coastline, a very popular weekend ride.

It's an easy stroll to Del Mar Village and world class dining as well as casual coffee. It's so much fun to enjoy a beverage and the sunset at the Del Mar Plaza, if for some reason one is bored with the perfect view from the front porch.

Whether you want a challenging hike through the Torrey Pines Reserve or a day on the chaise lounge, roll out of bed on 7th Street and you are there. Fall asleep to the sound of the surf.

Our home has been in the family for 47 years and it's comfortable.

comfortable cottage in great location

This was one of many times we have stayed in this house when visiting family in the San Diego area. Located several houses back from the edge of the cliff above the ocean, it has a good view of the ocean from the living room and the front sitting area, and is a ten minute walk from the Del Mar beach.

The location is great and the view is beautiful. The home itself is old and dated and could definitely use a refresher. Although we enjoyed the view and location, we wouldn't stay there again.

Great location and view

Perfect!

Our family had a wonderful time here. There was plenty of space, it was well equipped, quiet and had beautiful views and scent of the salty ocean. The house is so close to many good restaurants, stores and beach access, we hardly drove anywhere. We would love to stay here again.

Cozy house with a great location

It felt like we were staying at my grandma's beach house, which made it inviting and cozy with cute quirky decor. The location is fantastic and the garage parking was very convenient to have. The rooms are fairly lsrge, except the kitchen, but has most things stocked. There is a lovely back patio thats fairly private. The dawback is that it does not have AC (nor windowsl unit ac) or ceiling fans and it was very hot when we were there. It was hard to cool off the house with one box fan and we wish we knew that beforehand as we were staying with our 23 month old.

Delightful Home

Perfect location with a lovely view of the ocean. The home is cozy, filled with love & warmth. We loved the collection of heart shaped rocks lining the front porch window and all of the art work, beautiful oak flooring & cute backyard. The kitchen has everything and I appreciated the spices & mustard (some VRBO’s don’t even have salt!!) Many thanks for the enjoyment

comfortable home in excellent location

This was one of our multiple stays at this property which, when we visit family in San Diego, we choose to return to for its comfortable ambience, its ocean view from the living room and front outdoor sitting area, and its location about four houses down from clifftop walk overlooking the ocean and ten minute walk to beach.

Great place

The location of the house can’t be beat. The beach was accessible via path down the cliffs and is a locals only beach (ie not crowded at all). The pictures of the house don’t do it justice. It is clean, efficiently laid out and welcoming. Would definitely stay there again.

Very Pleasant

If you're looking to just relax and enjoy the ocean... this is a great place to do it! Although you can't just 'dip' your toe easily in the water, since you're high on the bluffs in Del Mar, the sounds and vistas of the ocean are outstanding; and the flowers and fauna along paths along the shore are magnificent. Just a few blocks from "downtown" DelMar and all the restaurants and shopping... We'll be back!

Great location and Cozy Home

I had the pleasure of staying at this lovely home. It was the perfect set up for my little family of three. The home has everything you need for a beach stay. The neighborhood provides easy access to the beach and a lovely neighborhood park for kids about 1 mile away. You can take a stroll along the bluff just a block away. There are ocean views from the living room and front porch. I enjoyed having my morning coffee on the patio. The owner was easy to communicate with and was responsive to any needs or questions. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it for anyone with a small family.

Comfortable home with ocean view

This was one of our many stays at this home which is our preferred place when we come to San Diego to visit family. The location is just a few houses away from the cliff top above the ocean. It is a just ten minute walk to the Del Mar beach. The neighborhood is quiet and calm and the home is a comfortable retreat.
