We stayed one night and chose this property for its advertised “on the beach” location. Unfortunately, it did not meet expectations for the price. The room was decent but outdated, with no air conditioning. To get airflow, you must open doors/windows, but there are no screens, so bugs come in. Privacy is also limited, as people from the nearby park can see directly inside. A major issue was the train, which runs every 10–20 minutes and is very loud. Since the tracks sit between the property and the ocean—and windows must stay open—you hear it constantly. The property is not truly “on the beach.” A railroad track and cliff separate it from the ocean, and beach access requires walking through a nearby park. While not far, this feels misleading. Additional drawbacks included no breakfast or on-site dining, limited laundry (2 machines), cleanliness issues (cobwebs), and construction noise disclosed only after booking a non-refundable stay. Checkout expectations (taking out trash, loading dishwasher, etc.), along with a tip envelope and reminder text, felt excessive. While the kitchen was nice and the beach is nearby, the stay did not justify the cost and felt misleading overall.

Great place to stay in Del Mar! We are in Del Mar not infrequently for soccer tournaments. Not sure how we’ve never stayed here before. A bit dated, but tons of space, friendly staff, plenty of towels, directly on the beach, easy parking, walkable to all the cute shops and restaurants, and reasonably priced considering location and size of the apartment. Will absolutely book here again.

The property was absolutely gorgeous right on the cliff of Delmar Beach! it was spotless, spacious ,and the office staff was very friendly! The only thing is the train noise was very loud as the train track is only hundred yards away -not the regular train, but the freight train was very loud . I would still book it again, regardless.

Loved waking up with an ocean view. Back patio area to sit and enjoy the view and next to a park, so not looking into another building or window. Poll was heated, so able to swim in the morning, sit in the jacuzzi before checking out. The only surprise was the train track goes right by the beach front, so you could hear the crossing horns every couple hours throughout the night. I think you'd get used to that if staying longer.
