About this property

Our Home at the Beach

Start your day enjoying a view of the ocean with a cup of coffee, maybe dolphins, maybe whales, maybe pelicans.

Only steps from the bluff you can enjoy a day at the beach and easily come home for lunch. Torrey Pines State Reserve and the Torrey Pines Annex are just a few minutes walk. Miles of trails are available by bike, as is the entire coastline, a very popular weekend ride.

It's an easy stroll to Del Mar Village and world class dining as well as casual coffee. It's so much fun to enjoy a beverage and the sunset at the Del Mar Plaza, if for some reason one is bored with the perfect view from the front porch.

Whether you want a challenging hike through the Torrey Pines Reserve or a day on the chaise lounge, roll out of bed on 7th Street and you are there. Fall asleep to the sound of the surf.

Our home has been in the family for 47 years and it's comfortable.

Great Location ++
This is a friendly old house in a beautiful location. There is everything you could want in the house and nearby. Short walk to excellent restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

Very Pleasant
If you're looking to just relax and enjoy the ocean... this is a great place to do it! Although you can't just 'dip' your toe easily in the water, since you're high on the bluffs in Del Mar, the sounds and vistas of the ocean are outstanding; and the flowers and fauna along paths along the shore are magnificent. Just a few blocks from "downtown" DelMar and all the restaurants and shopping... We'll be back!

comfortable home in excellent location
This was one of our multiple stays at this property which, when we visit family in San Diego, we choose to return to for its comfortable ambience, its ocean view from the living room and front outdoor sitting area, and its location about four houses down from clifftop walk overlooking the ocean and ten minute walk to beach.

Wonderful week in Del Mar
The location of the house is perfect. The ocean is nearby and it is a short walk to the town of Del Mar with restaurants and shops. You can hear the sounds of the waves all day long and watch the sunset from the patio. There is a nice walk along the bluffs that you can take either to the north or south to enjoy the beautiful view. The trail to the beach requires some navigation down the hillside, but shouldn't be too difficult for someone in good condition. If you don't want to hike down the hillside, there are other public beaches a mile in either direction. The house is on the older side and has a few quirks as a result. But the photos of the house are accurate of what you are getting. We were comfortable with 4 people and worked around the single bathroom. Communication with the owner was easy.

Comfortable home with ocean view
This was one of our many stays at this home which is our preferred place when we come to San Diego to visit family. The location is just a few houses away from the cliff top above the ocean. It is a just ten minute walk to the Del Mar beach. The neighborhood is quiet and calm and the home is a comfortable retreat.

About the host

My Mom bought this property in 1969. I lived here for a while in my 20's, then inherited the property when she passed in 2002. It has lots of good times and good memories attached to it.

Why they chose this property

We are 4th generation San Diegans and we love our town.

What makes this property unique

We swim, bathe in the sun, walk to Torrey Pines, dance Zumba when we can, entertain friends by the fire inside and out, watch the sunset. Our rates include cleaning.
