Best spot in Del Mar!
From the underground garage spaces to the 1 minute walk to Del Mar’s lovely beaches, this home can provide an ideal vacation. We easily walked to 6 or 7 restaurants. The patio space was terrific for getting that wonderful ocean breeze. The description was accurate, which is key. This is a home to come back to!

Great condo in beautiful Del Mar
My family (husband, teen daughter and 8 year old son) stayed at this lovely condo in Del Mar. the condo was reall well outfitted. The kitchen has everything needed to cook (including all of the things like spices that you don’t want to pack for home). There was little shelf of leave-a-book-take-a-book options (so nice ). There were lots of beach supplies. The beds were comfy. There were extra blankets for the couch on a chilly night. And it was a brag set up for our family with three bedrooms and bathrooms. The location was also amazing — an easy walk to all of Del Mar’s lovely shops and restaurants. We loved that part because of teenager could walk to the beach or into town while our little guy had some time just hanging out at home. In addition to all of those good things I will say that the woman managing the property was amazing. We had a couple of questions and she was both super prompt and very warm. That was lovely too. There were just a couple of minor issues: - The condo definity has some wear and tear. It was clean, but in places a little worn. - The dryer was very slow. It took hours to dry one, modestly sized load. - The pool isn’t heated. I realize that’s an expensive luxury but it would have been really nice. All told, it was a great spot. We’re grateful to have been able to visit.

Coast Del Mar
This is an absolutely wonderful condo! Everything is up to date, it's obvious it has been redone recently. It is very quiet and the sunshine streams in. It has everything you need for a short or long term stay. The kitchen is stocked with all of the basics. Included are beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards in the storage cupboard in the garage. Beach is basically across the street, Jake's and Poseidon Restaurants super close, and a ten minute walk to Del Mar Village proper. Nina was a huge help in getting this unit booked for us and answered all questions very promptly. We will definitely stay here again!

This place is the best and has every detail. Nina, the host, is fantastic. Everything is perfect. Close to the beach, cozy, soft beds, extra towels, a stationary bike which I loved and used frequency, snacks and pops/water waiting for us. Everything was perfect. Parking in a underground garage. I just cannot say enough great things about this place. We loved it. Comfortable furniture, TVs in every bedroom. I could go on and on. I highly recommend Nina and the place. Thanks Nina for the best stay ever. THANK YOU!!!

Ideal location !
We recently stayed at this home for a couple weeks. It's right across from the beach and an easy walk to the village of Del Mar. Nina, the manager, is outstanding. She made everything go smoothly & she really cares! The home is comfortable and extremely well stocked for families. Might be a bit too well stocked not leaving room for renters food items in the kitchen, and closets a bit too full. Other than that, we had a great stay. Another perk is the unground parking garage with 2 spaces. Parking is difficult close to the beach so having dedicated parking was ideal ! Don't hesitate to rent this home!

Perfect Beach Getaway
The property was in immaculate, shape, and fully stocked with everything that you’ll need. There were even toys for the kids and a great amount of beach items (chairs, towels, wagon, etc.). The decor of the place is light and bright and very cozy. The location is hard to beat! We’ll definitely look at booking this one again next time we’re back in California.

Great beach location
The home is well maintained, clean, and had everything we needed to enjoy a beach vacation. Fantastic location for beach access! The house instructions were thorough and clear, the house has labels throughout, fully equipped kitchen, full size laundry, good internet speeds. The kids enjoyed the books and tv in their room. Having a reserved space in the garage was convenient (clearance was low but sufficient for standard SUV). Note for light sleepers - you can hear the nearby light rail train, but the available white noise machines help. It is also a commuter train so does not run all night long. Overall, would absolutely recommend this home and would book it again.

Beautiful, clean townhome that was SO well stocked!
This was our first trip to the San Diego area and we were nervous about what to expect by bringing our 2 year old along. This rental made our trip so stress-free! It was VERY well stocked (from spices and oils to a huge collection of books for my daughter to read) The crib was perfect for her. The location across from the beach was great and the garage parking made getting home from a long day of sight-seeing a breeze. We loved that we could use the beach chairs and toys (it's just a short walk across the street to the ocean.) The place was spotless and all the appliances were top notch. The master bed slept great and we loved having easy access to the washer and dryer. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks so much for a wonderful week!

Great Stay
We had a great trip and thoroughly enjoyed the property. The location can't be beat, as it's right across the street from a fantastic stretch of beach, and it is also just a short walk into the main part of Del Mar. The property has everything one could need - and I do mean everything. It is equipped as if it's someone's own vacation house, not just a rental where the owner is trying to cut corners. It was particularly helpful to not have to haul a bunch of books / toys / beach gear for our little ones - so much there for them to do. Wouldn't hesitate to book again.

One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed!
The home was so great and we were made to feel so welcomed. Nina had a very sweet welcome basket waiting for us along with a book with all the information we needed to have fun. The beach in Del Mar is endless beauty that extends all the way down to Torrey Pines that has extraordinary hikes along with ocean and cityscape views, too spectacular to put words to. The house had everything our family of 6 needed. Plenty of towels, dishes, cookware, beds, beach toys... Del smart was just the location we were looking for to get away, but close enough to venture out to explore new areas on adventure days. The ping pong table by the pool and jacuzzi tub were a hit! Thank you for allowing us to stay in this beautiful home in the middle of paradise. We have left refreshed! The beach was my heaven on earth!

Wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful time at the townhouse. The townhouse is very tastefully updated and very clean. It also included so many amenities that we were able to enjoy. The hot tub and pool were open and the hot tub was heated and lovely. The pool was not heated, but the kids were still able to enjoy it! The beach is a block away, and we went every day, at least, once . There are boogie boards, surf boards, beach chairs, and sand toys that were easily accessible on the private patio. We returned from the beach each day, hosed off the wet suits and boogie boards and left them safely on the patio. Easy peasy. You can walk to a nearby park and restaurants. The location is amazing. This place is a winner!

Walk barefoot to the beach!
I reserved this for a 2 week stay while recovering from brain surgery, we were required to stay close to the hospital. We were shocked at just how close you are to the beach, literally didn't even need to put shoes on. Del Mar is such a wonderful town! This condo had everything. EVERYTHING. Well stocked with blankets and pillows, very comfortable beds, all the beach toys you could ever need, and really well thought out decor. Everyone was comfortable. I can say it was the best Vrbo experience we've ever had. Nina was incredible, give that woman a raise! The pool was great, it was a quiet location even being next to the tracks, there was never a noise issue. I can't rate this high enough. Great family place for sure!

Perfect stay within walking distance to beach
This renovated condo is lovely and clean, with updated decor and everything we needed to cook in the kitchen. The owners thought of everything, from mask hangers in the entry, to bedside clocks with USB ports and quality linens and towels. They had umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards, skim board, beach towels and sand toys, including long-handled sand shovels for dig-happy kids. Lots of interesting books to read for both kids and adults. Great outdoor patio, and a short walk to the beach. Train noise was minimal during dinner on the outside patio (and even an event for the kids to run and try to see), and we didn't need to use the sound machines in the bedrooms at all. Nina was so helpful in every way, and we will definitely book again.

This stay was out of this world! Comfortable from the moment we walked in. We were not wanting for anything. Luxurious, fully appointed, thoughtful. There were things beyond what we even needed. Perfect. Would give more than five stars if we could. There were extra things like shared spices and coffee that were there to use and leave what we had extra for the next guests. So well thought out. Truly a pleasure to stay here. We hope to come again. Thank you so much for sharing this place with us!!!!
