Staying at this Del Mar coastal cottage was a dream! Well equipped, spacious and quiet with a great outdoor patio! A wonderful experience all around – I’d definitely stay here again.
We loved the Zen Cottage. It was a great location in Del Mar. The home was very clean and well stocked. Gina was an excellent and responsive host. We would love to stay here again in the future!
The property is beautiful and the location is absolutely perfect. We encountered an issue after check in and the property manager, Gina, was absolutely professional, responsive, and accommodating. We were very pleased with our interactions with Gina.
The Zen Cottage in Del Mar is even better in person than the pictures. It’s spacious and airy. All the amenities in Kitchen and Bathrooms. We enjoyed having our morning coffee ☕️ sitting around the fire pit. Easy walking to the beach and neighborhood restaurants and shops. We will definitely stay here again
We enjoyed our stay! Such a beautiful property and we loved spending our days and evenings on the outdoor patio with ocean views. Great location and the house was set up with everything we needed during our stay.
Google Maps takes you to the back alley rather than the front parking location so we had some confusion there but the host helped us out right away.
I wouldn’t say it was the _best_ property for young toddlers (glass tables, lots of small decor, ledges on patio) but we figured it out just fine and would love to visit again!
This is a beautiful place in a gorgeous location. Everything we needed was available in the place. The location was great as far as proximity to the beach and shops. The host was very friendly and responsive.
Wonderfully furnished and located vacation villa! This property is absolutely stunning. Located just three houses from the ocean it provides a nice quiet escape with very nice ocean views from the outdoor areas and several rooms. The home is so nicely furnished it feels like you are staying in a friends well cared for home. Easy walking distance to many shops and restaurants. We’ll be back!
The Zen Cottage was the perfect place for my husband and I. The location was great and we enjoyed the ocean views. We loved sitting on the patio and watching all the hummingbirds feed among the flowers. The space is beautifully decorated and has all the bells and whistles. Everything is well thought out and 5 star luxury all the way.
What a great place to stay. The house is on a very quiet street and is very relaxing. The patio area is amazing and a nice place to entertain and enjoy being outside. There is access to the trails to get to the beach, but getting to the beach is a short walk away. The town is an easy 5 minute walk away too which was very nice. The house was very well appointed with supplies and also had beach chairs, etc.We had an amazing time and will definitely come back!
I loved this place and Gina the property manager has impeccable taste. It is great to have a local contact to interface with re questions and this place will just keep getting better. The location and outdoor spaces are exceptional.
