Perfect stay!
My husband and I rented the cottage for PLNU Parents Weekend. We even had our son stay to get a break from dorm life. While it is a little drive from PLNU we still enjoyed it. Del Mar is beautiful. The cottage is in a wonderful neighborhood and had all you need for cooking or just relaxing. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. The backyard is charming. On our last full day we walked across the street to enjoy some relaxation on beach. The garage had towels, boards and sand toys for us. We highly recommend it and would love to stay again.

Adorable place
Everything was great except sleeping was difficult without air conditioning in the bedroom as it was hot and muggy that weekend. But so great otherwise and so near the fabulous dog beach— We’ll definitely go again! Wonderfully responsive hosts. Private, quiet, comfy.

Great value especially for the location
The property is quaint and cozy. Very pleasant. Well maintained landscaping. It is a 2 unit house so another guest could be renting the front of the home while you stay in this unit in the back but you do have a nice private area of the yard gated off for just this unit which is a pleasant place to relax. Comfy beds and beach supplies available for use makes this a really great option for small families with kids!

Family reunion
Our family has been going to San Diego for many, many years. My siblings and I are grown with young adult children now who have all grown up going to Solana Beach and Del Mar. My husband, our adult daughter and I stayed here. Other family were in the neighborhood. This place was clean, comfortable, and had easy access to the beach. We also liked the private yard. We will be back.
