Del Mar Dandy — fantastic house & location
You can’t beat the location — walk to ocean / walk to Del Mar Pizza for a slice or just enjoy the patio. House has everything you need — just bring a smile and enjoy — the host does an awesome job and the dog is cool….

Lovely place in perfect location
We have stayed in Del Mar area several times and this house is perfect for hanging out on a beach weekend. Our 23 year old son and his girlfriend met us here and we hung out at the beach, walked to restaurants, ran along the river...location can't be beat. The house is updated and is private with plenty of privacy between the master and other bedrooms. Will be back!

#1. Great location. A block or two from the beach or great restaurants. #2. The view. Doesn’t get much better than sitting on the patio drinking coffee and looking out over the pacific. #3. The host. Lauren is a great host. Very helpful and communicative. We love Del Mar and we loved staying here.

Perfect beach location
Ideal location for a beach vacation. Very short walk (5 mins) to playground and beach and only a block away from shops and restaurants. Lauren was a great host and quickly responded to any questions or needs. Kitchen is very well stocked and Lauren has provided everything you need for a day at the beach (umbrella, chairs, towels, etc).

Amazing trip
Definitely one of the most well stocked places that we have stayed at. Probably the only thing that you need to bring extra are chairs and an umbrella. The area was great. Close to shopping and restaurants. It was about a 10 minute walk to the beach. We had a great time!

Beautiful home, wonderful to see and hear the ocean!
The interior decoration is beautiful. One of the best spots is outside on the deck, where you can see down the street to the ocean and wonderful sunsets. Only 5-7 minutes away is good access to the beach and a great dog park. Lauren was a good communicator both before and during our stay over Christmas week.

Spectacular location
Property equals or exceeds all positive promises. Location, location, location. Ocean views from deck, master bedroom and front yard. Short walk to oceanfront parks and beach and one block walk to varied restaurants. House is well equipped and instructions comprehensive so that we had little reason to call on manager. Lauren was very responsive to all pre arrival questions.

Del Mar home in a wonderful location
Our family enjoyed our stay in this adorable Del Mar home. The owner is very nice and quick to respond when needed. She owns the attached home on the back side as well as this front home. It is an attached two unit property. The walk is a short one to all the restaurants and beach spots that we have loved over the years. It was great to visit beautiful Del Mar again. Don’t forget to spend time in the comfortable hammock out front.

Fun and safe in Del Mar
Super location (block to end of road to watch sunset, block to restaurants and shopping). Super clean - for a dog-friendly place we expected less. Easy street parking except mid day when surfers and sunset watchers are in abundance. Would not recommend for little kids as stairs could be tricky, but for 2-3 couples or one older family it's ideal. Kitchen had everything we needed and laundry was great for our extended stay as well. Loved the deck and tree hammock. Wish water was warmer to try their surf/boogie boards, but great beach chairs and beach towels. Everything well stocked and Lauren (owner) couldn't have been nicer to work with. Great get-away.

The wood shakes on the outside of our custom home to the grassy yard placing you in the midst of the action and tranquility are disarming from the moment you set sights high on the property. Upon entering our home, you will know why we want to share the love of our life with our guests!
