This private home is located in the charming Del Mar Beach Colony area. Steps to the white sand beaches, with staffed lifeguard towers and well kept restroom facilities.

Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac with friendly neighbors this beautiful, private home is perfect for families or small groups. U-VERSE TV & WIFI, Apple TV, and wireless indoor/outdoor surround sound stereo -all included! Our home also has AIR CONDITIONING which is a nice luxury in Del Mar.
The fenced in backyard is truly the place to entertain - a hot tub to soak and relax in, a built in BBQ and outdoor fridge, wireless sound system to listen to all your favorite music as you dine outside and plenty of room for kids to play and for you to entertain without feeling cramped. It is an easy walk to the beach, or down the street to the unique shops and restaurants in Del Mar. Great surf beaks within walking distance!
The home has 3 bedrooms -
Master has a king bed with tempurpedic mattress, Guest Room has a queen bed with pillowtop mattress, Kids Bunk room has 4 new twin pillowtop mattresses, and the Family Room has a Potterybarn Sleeper Sofa which makes into a full size bed - Sleeping 10 comfortably.

After your fun day at the beach, shower off the sand in the outdoor shower and put your surf board in our rack!

Just like our home, Del Mar has something for everyone. Famous for its beaches, fairgrounds and the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club 'Where the turf meets the surf', there are many other reasons that make Del Mar so special. Torrey Pines State Park is 5 miles down the road and is a beautiful place to hike all year. Its centrally located to many of San Diego's favorite 'must sees' -Scripps Aquarium, Legoland, Sea World & SD Zoo are all short drives (20-30 min) and Disneyland is a 2hr drive. Great surf, sunshine, picturesque coastline, white sand beaches, tennis, fine dining, horse racing, and world class golf -Del Mar will keep all your friends/family fully entertained.

Perfect for girls weekend

Seven of us ladies stayed at Stephanie's house and it worked out great. The location is excellent and very close to the beach, restaurants, and shops. It has great gathering areas in the backyard and in the living room. It's nice that it's on a dead-end street as it made things very quiet. Stephanie was extremely accommodating and responsive. Great experience.

Solid A

Nice little beach house, walking distance to beach, driving distance to shops/restaurants and located on a quiet cul-de-sac. Perfect location. Just an FYI (because I didn't realize prior to) the property is very close to train tracks. It wasn't super disturbing but just good to know if it might impact your decision. I probably would stay again even with the train as it didn't run through the night and wasn't super loud. Property owners were very responsive and no issues. Solid A.

Great Del Mar House Near the Beach

Wonderful stay and very responsive owner. The house is a short walk to the beach, less than 5 minutes. All amenities in the house, including a fully stocked kitchen. The house has large bedrooms and plenty of linens and extra towels. On demand hot water heater. The hot tub and backyard area is excellent, including an outdoor TV that we enjoyed. Overall, the house is A+ and we will be back to visit again!

Perfect beach retreat

Our family traveled from all over the country to enjoy a reunion at eve beach. This was the best place for that to happen! The garage provided all the toys for the beach and a wagon to carry everything! The house was clean and had plenty of toys for the kids. The adults enjoyed arcade games and the hot tub. Definitely recommend this place.

We had a great week with our family in Del Mar and can’t wait to come back! The house was perfect for our family - so close to the beach, great kitchen, family room for our kids, lovely back yard and everyone loved the hot tub. The house had all of the amenities we needed and we loved all the beach supplies (the chairs, our kids used the boogie board and wet suit, sand toys and more). We will be back!

Amazing family vacation site

We have only great things to say about this home. The only thing we would have changed would have been to stay longer! We were a group of 7 family members ranging from 7 to 65+ years, and the house was perfect for everyone. The proximity to the beach was ideal - close enough to walk there on a whim, but the street ends nearly at the house so there is no through traffic keeping the area quiet. The route to the beach is flat and takes just minutes. They have all the beach supply and backyard games you could think of - which kept our kids easily entertained. The outdoor shower was super handy, and the hot tub was a bonus after a swim in the ocean. The house was comfortable and clean. We bought groceries and had the majority of our meals at the house. They had everything we could have needed or wanted. The host was a pleasure to work with. She was kind, welcoming, and prompt with her responses. We will definitely be back!

August 2022 Stay - Family of 4

The property is a cute "cottage style" beach house that is very functional and comfortable. Each bedroom has sufficient closet space and comfortable beds. The A/C works very well. It has a nice backyard with table that seats 8 people. It is very well stocked with many beach items (chairs, umbrellas, toys, etc). Best part is an owner who is very responsive and interested in providing a great experience.

Cute, well stocked house by the ocean

This is my second time staying at this house, and it is such a great VRBO! I have stayed at several other VRBO's, and this is, by far, the best stocked house. The owner tries to anticipate your needs, and it is so nice that you don't have to go out and buy items that you won't finish using during your stay. She is very proactive and her communication is outstanding. The house is in a great location (2 block walk to the beach and 1/4 mile to downtown Del Mar). Our family had a great vacation!

Perfect Beach Cottage!

What a treat to stay in this fabulous beach cottage in Del Mar! The location is perfect - on a quiet side street, only 3 blocks from the beach. The garage is stocked with everything you need for a day at the beach, including a wagon to carry it all! We enjoyed the quaint village for wonderful restaurants and shopping - a short 15 minute walk or a less than 5 minute drive. Stephanie, the owner, was welcoming and always available for any questions. Thank you Stephanie for sharing your home! We have stayed in a lot of beach houses along the California coast and this was by far our favorite one! It really is a special place! We can’t wait to come back!

Love this place

This place was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Stephanie was awesome with communicating promptly and allowing flexibility. The location is great with an easy walk to the beach and up into town. The house is in a cul-de-sac near the rail but the train is very quiet and noise was never a problem. The house was excellent for kids of all ages with an enclosed backyard with clean turf. We'll definitely be going back!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Sakayan

I grew up in a near by beach town and even though we moved away we found ourselves back here often. As our family grew and our children fell in love with coming to San Diego we made the decision to purchase a vacation home here. Del mar has always been one of my favorite places and beaches! My kids love the flat open beaches, and walking to the near by shops and restaurants, playing at the park and taking our dog to doggie beach. I hope you and your family will fall in love with it too!

Why they chose this property

I wanted this home to have the perfect mix of feeling like home but also on vacation. The location allows us to walk anywhere we need - nothing is more than 15 min (and thats with the kids)! For it to feel like our own home, and comfortable for those staying there, when furnishing/decorating it everything was of high quality. From the linens and towels, to stocking the kitchen and the furniture - it is all of nice quality to help provide comfort and luxury for those who are staying there.
Del Mar is perfectly situated, its 15-20 min to most of the big tourist attractions - Sea World, Zoo, Legoland, etc but is not highly populated so you are never having to search for a spot at the beach! The limited parking access to the public helps keep the Del Mar beaches open and spacious - so our house having a driveway that can fit 4 cars a big win for our friends and family:)

What makes this property unique

During the day I love opening the top part of the front door while I'm inside and letting my kids run around the front and play. Because we are on a cul de sac it is a nice quiet and private street with little pedestrian flow but quick beach access. Less than 2 minutes from door to sand.
At night, sitting in the hot tub with a glass of wine after the kids have gone to sleep is as relaxing as it gets!
