Enjoyed the amenities of included high chair, Pack N Play and beach toys. Close drive or mile(ish) walk to many great dining options. Great kitchen and outdoor dining made staying in nice too. Loved watching surfers at Powerhouse Park. Would advise light sleepers to pack ear plugs for sleeping as the Amtrak passes at the end of the block, multiple times in the night. ##### Brittany K.

Brenda (the host) was incredibly helpful and asked in advance if we needed anything. There was a surprise for the child, a pitcher of cold water in the refrigerator, nice and clean house, and a location that's 5 minutes from the beach.

May 22, 2024 #### Great Location This is quite literally a block from the beach. It’s a perfect house and they provide so much stuff if you have kids (wagons, Sand toys, pack n play, high chair, seat etc) also love that the patio and front is fenced off. It’s technically a duplex but you don’t notice until you happen to cross paths in the front. I would definitely rent again and plan to have my sister and her kids in the other part of the duplex. Great place for two families that need a little space. ##### Amanda D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natasha C.

It was our first time to San Diego and our first time traveling as a family of four. We couldn’t have imagined a better visit. The hosts were so accommodating and had the best form of communication. The house was kept like a home. The outdoor space was such a safe place for our kids to wonder, explore and play. The bedrooms didn’t leak a lot of light which was great for kids sleep. The house truly felt like a beach home cottage for a family. The neighborhood was so safe and the space made parking hassle free and worry free for a rental cars safety. Thank you for such special memories in such a perfect getaway. ##### Natasha C. Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Pasha A. Sep 6, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good not Great My family had a good (not great) experience at this property. The location is simply fantastic, just steps away from one of the most family-friendly stretches of Del Mar beach. The house comes fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a beach getaway, from chairs to umbrellas and toys - perfect for families or small groups. What also stood out was the responsiveness and accommodation of the host/property manager. However, I was taken by surprise when I discovered that the property consists of two adjoining units that share parking, laundry, and beach accessories. I may have missed it but I don’t believe this was explicitly mentioned in the listing, and this might be important for some guests to know in advance. We also encountered an issue with the tub backing up, and the host’s suggestion to use a plunger to resolve it left us a bit hesitant, especially with kids involved. Overall, we had a nice stay and would recommend this property to anyone seeking a quiet retreat with easy beach access, as long as you’re comfortable with a basic beach cottage setup. ##### Pasha A.
