Embracing a beachside casual ambience with elite modern living, the upper level of the cottage features the expansive main living floor, stone fireplace, dining area, and full bathroom. A manicured courtyard is the ideal spot for a sunrise morning coffee or a sunset cocktail experience. Also upstairs, a petite Chef’s kitchen awaits guests, offering Bosch appliances, 4-burner Wolf range and stove, and stone quartzite countertops.

Perfect winter getaway
The Beach Cottage was just right for our stay in Del Mar. Just a few blocks to shops, restaurants, and the beach, it was the perfect base for exploring the area. Fresh flowers in vases graced the tables. Its well-stocked cook's kitchen, luxurious bath suites and cozy living and family rooms meant we often just stayed in to prepare meals and read by the fire. By afternoon it was warm enough to soak up sun on the patio in the comfy teak lounge chairs. What few questions or issues we had, the owner, Colette, immediately and graciously resolved. We couldn't be happier with the experience and hope to return for another visit.

Beautiful Beach Cottage
My husband and I were in town for a special birthday party and we stayed at this wonderful new house. The house was immaculate, and Colette was very accommodating for early arrival. We really appreciated the Quality linens, towels, and special touches throughout the house. Super proximity to the town of Delmar and the ocean. Everything was walkable.. We will gladly stay here again! 😊

Cottage living at its best
Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay at the cottage in Del Mar. it really couldn’t have been a better set up! You can even walk to the beach or town for dinner. The location is in a really great part of Del Mar! We were very comfortable with a full kitchen and having 3 bathrooms was an added bonus. The patio was perfect too. We will definitely book again!

Perfect Del Mar stay
There is a reason this property has all five star reviews. The property itself is fantastic. The furnishings are beautiful and everything is in excellent condition. The thought that went into the design and finishes of this house are apparent. Beyond the property at self, the location is perfect if you’d like to walk into Delmar for meals and shopping. It is far enough removed from the busier part of town. It is an easy walk down to 15th St. to access the beach. It is also walkable to the Torrey, Pines Beach, and even the Torrey Pines reserve if you are up for a longer hike. Colette is a great host and was very responsive to our questions and requests. We will be back!

We have been spending our thanksgivings starting years ago for our daughter playing soccer at Surf Cup. Our family has also been visiting the area since the 50's. Hence, we have spent a lot of time there with family, friends, or previous rentals. This was one for the books....

Why they chose this property

We have lived in Del Mar for 20 years and are passionate about what it offers. A pristine and beautiful coastline. Breathtaking walks high above the Pacific or down along the sand with your feet in the ocean.... Early morning walks watching the pelicans dive or evening strolls hoping to catch the elusive green flash. This small town is unique and retains a character not often found along the Southern Californian coast anymore. There are a wonderful selection of restaurants to enjoy from morning coffee, crepes, organic green smoothies to sophisticated and elegant dining options. Many restaurants offer an ocean view with a breathtaking sunset. Add a glass of bubbly to any Bistro style experience which helps punctuate a simply delicious meal. The beaches offer a variety of prevailing swells and accessibility. Surfing, stand up paddling, body surfing, or just paddling in the shallows. Lounging on the sand with a book is an option everywhere!

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the Del Mar bluffs location where the cottage is built. The impressive proximity to both the beautiful coastline as well as access to the urban lifestyle afforded by the city of Del Mar is incredibly unique. Simply put, to be able to walk to all these activities makes for an extremely relaxing vacation.
