THE DEEP DIVE
All BeachHauses are engineered for simple, easy living. All BeachHauses feature self check-in and check-out. They're stocked with beach toys, beach towels, bath towels, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, olive oil, and cooking-ready kitchens.

Drop down the road and onto the beach: it's a 2 minute walk with a great crosswalk, and totally flat. All the better for the beach toys you have in tow, found waiting for you in the shared garage with your own little wagon. Play in the sand, relax back into the sun, boogie board or surf. Then come back to a truly cooking-ready kitchen, an outdoor shower, your own private fenced back yard. The owners spend weeks here every year so you know it's livable. All you have to do is come.

Dog Friendly and close to the Dog Beach!
I selected this property specifically for its proximity to the dog beach. I was visiting family and travel with my dog so I wanted him to be able to enjoy the beach as well. The off-leash dog beach is within walking distance of the cottage. The cottage has a fully fenced back yard and a hose to rinse my dog off after the beach and a small deck for him to dry off on. The cottage was charming and comfortable. If you are noise sensitive, you can here the light rail occasionally. We had a super nice stay and would definitely consider staying again.

Loved this place so much. It has a wonderful beach bungalow vibe. Very clean. The back patio and yard were well kept and relaxing. Location was awesome! Owners responded within minutes with any questions we had. I hope we can stay here again the next time we are in the area.

Wonderful location!
This is a perfect location for the beach at Del Mar, while the place is very small, it is perfect for a small family or a couple. I stayed with my adult son during the stay and the living area is small with a small couch and one chair. So there is not much space but the location is perfect-hence the 4 star rating, as another chair would be nice:)

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation in this adorable bungalow. The location can’t be beat! It had all the essentials for our family, including a high chair, toddler step, beach toys and a wagon. We also appreciated how quiet it was at night.

Cute, quaint home, perfect location for beach
I gave 5’s across the board with the exception of cleanliness … only because we found some broken glass between the couch and side table but this could’ve been easily overseen by cleaners… we only found it because of my one year old crawling. We loved the backyard and the proximity to the beach.. it is literally minutes from beach. Only downside is you can’t really walk to get food, it’s on the other side of the (bridge?) not sure what to call it and if you do walk through the neighborhood it’s a good long walk .. not a huge deal but just FYI for anyone who wants to walk to get food or coffee… Overall we loved this home and our stay and the communication with the property team was exceptional. As long as you are good with sharing a wall with neighbors this house is perfect.

Wonderful!
We stayed 3 nights at this little cottage and had a wonderful time! The cottage is very clean and decorated nicely. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and utensils. The queen bed was very comfortable. We took our 2 dogs and we were very pleased with the fully fenced backyard and having the dog beach just down the street. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe. Lots of beach gear in the garage for your use as well as beach towels. We would definitely love to stay here again :)
