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.


Monthly rates are for a max of 2 people. Monthly rates vary, ask for rates.

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.

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).

It was very nice....clean, close to everything, had everything you would need to stay awhile. It was just not what I would call a cottage. But, with that said I would stay there again. Wonderful orange and grapefruit trees on the property. Wish I had tried one..

Peaceful getaway
Kirk H. The four of us have been coming to Solana Beach for many years. We’ve done hotels and rented condos – but nothing compares to this sweet setup. The main room (you first see on the site) is very workable for four to lounge, eat, play games or watch TV. The opposite facing wall is a nice kitchen with fine appliances and cabinets. And the very thoughtful hosts can guide you to lovely beaches, walks, eateries, shopping, and a small music venue nearby. Note that both beds are queen, but one of us is 6’3” and slept just fine. To wrap-up our fondness for this rental, we agree with every happy comment below - and those soon to be above. Safe travels.

Great location; friendly host
We were in the area to visit friends and for our son to attend a week-long surf camp and a skateboarding competition. We were only really home to sleep, and the location was perfect. Having a full kitchen helped us with making breakfast every morning and the occasional snack. Our hosts were thoughtful in sending daily information about events in the area. There is so much to do in the area. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect for a weekend wedding stay
We needed a place close to Del Mar while attending a wedding at L'Auberge Del Mar. The cottage was comfortable and provided easy access to the communities along 101 as well as I-5. Host provided several tips on restaurants in the area and responded quickly to questions.

Cozy space with comfy beds
Four of us (my sister, parents and I) stayed at this wonderful space while visiting friends who live nearby. The space is really wonderful -- two bedrooms (one with attached bathroom; other with bathroom off the living space) and a studio like kitchen/living/dining space. The beds were very comfortable (a major plus when traveling!) and the kitchen was well stocked for our needs (primarily breakfast and tea/coffee as we ate at our friends' house for other meals). Bed linens were really comfortable (again, not always the case when you travel) and the ceiling fans in all rooms were great for circulating air, along with opening windows to the smell of citrus trees. I used the outdoor sitting space to take some calls during the day. Our host was always attentive with messages about local places to eat and visit which was very much appreciated. The neighborhood is lovely and a 5-10 minute walk to several coffee shops and other walking/shopping/beach. We were all delighted with our time in Solana Beach.

Good small unit
This is a small, very clean little unit that would work well for families with one kid, or two smaller kids (ours were 3 and 6). There’s not much of a yard, so when our kids got antsy we needed to get them in the car and go somewhere. Luckily the beach, which is a lot calmer and less crowded than La Jolla, is two blocks away. Good coffee shops nearby, but we did not find them truly “walkable” with kids our age. Grocery store and pharmacy within a 5 min drive, no freeway required.

What a wonderful place to stay! It was clean, warm, and the hosts were so welcoming. The best possible location for me and my girls. No more than a 30 minutes drive to all big attractions and a quick walk to wonderful restaurants as well as a lovely beach. I cannot say enough about the property. Best possible getaway!

It ticked all the boxes!
We are a family of 3 with a nearly 2 year old daughter and this home worked perfectly for us! The space is clean and updated and was exactly what we were expecting given the pictures. The location is prime. We brought a wagon (I think they had one available to borrow too) and the trip to the beach and a beautiful park (Fletcher's Cove) was our only item on the itinerary each day. Solana Beach was a new destination for us and we were very pleased we chose it. Restaurants and markets are easily accessible which worked perfectly for us. The kitchen was fully equipped which made toddler meals simple too. The icing on the cake was the chance to do a load of laundry as stackable washer/dryer are inside the unit. We really appreciated all the conveniences and would highly recommend their place. Thanks for opening your home to us - our family had a very fun and memorable beach getaway!

Major restrictions
This place has MAJOR restrictions! Property is attached to the owners home and under their watchful eye. Expect threats of eviction and calling the police. We were scolded for playing music in the house (not too loud), having a mature couple over for dinner (only 4 bodies allowed in the place at any time), although I understand the no smoking rule, ecigs aren't allowed outside, we were scolded for playing Frisbee, being on the roof top deck after dark and having cocktails on the roof top deck. The restrictions are plentiful and a hindrance to having a good time. Also, ant infestation in the kitchen sink area. We were evicted after 26 hours and left scrambling to find alternative accommodations. Neighbors are obviously not in favor of renters and make a pleasant stay challenging.
