Perfect Place for Dogs!

The cottage has absolutely everything you could possibly want, including a lovely backyard and patio. It is a 10-minute walk to the Del Mar Dog Beach, making it ideal for staying with pets. AND there are two parking slots -- very rare this close to the beach. We loved it and will be back!!

The most perfect stay!

This is our second time renting from Beachhaus and it did not disappoint. Seahorse Cottage was the perfect place to stay for my daughter and I for a long girls weekend. Parking was easy, effortless check in, and so close to the beach. The home had everything we needed, super clean and very organized. Beds were super comfortable and the home was very quiet. We will definitely be coming back as this was such a better option than a hotel that we usually do for a short trip. Absolutely loved it!! Thank you!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation in this adorable bungalow. The location can’t be beat! It had all the essentials for our family, including a high chair, toddler step, beach toys and a wagon. We also appreciated how quiet it was at night.

Two minutes to beach, and immaculate

I’ve stayed at dozens of rentals, and this is among my favorites. Beautifully equipped, exceptionally clean. Design-wise, imagine the sample rooms at IKEA. Not everyone’s taste, but it happens to be mine. There are beach carts in the garage. Throw in some provided chairs, toys, etc. and you’re on the beach in a few minutes. Yet you’re in a quiet lovely neighborhood. I can’t say anything about the hosts, because I neither had nor needed any human contact. Everything was meticulously labeled and easy to understand. Please don’t book this property. I want it to be available for my next rental!

Cozy Cottage

Cozy cottage with close proximity to the beach and easy access to dining and shopping. Parking was a bit tight. Bathroom needs a ventilation system, and there was no air conditioning. Cute decor and plenty of seating in the living room and kitchen. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful location!

This is a perfect location for the beach at Del Mar, while the place is very small, it is perfect for a small family or a couple. I stayed with my adult son during the stay and the living area is small with a small couch and one chair. So there is not much space but the location is perfect-hence the 4 star rating, as another chair would be nice:)

Great location!

The location, check in, check out and communication were fabulous. The place was well-stocked and parking was easy. Unfortunately it’s very small (smaller than a Hyatt Place Hotel), old furniture and not very clean (everything was sticky). It would be fine for 2 people, maybe 3, but not 4. It should be listed at less than $300.

Dog Friendly and close to the Dog Beach!

I selected this property specifically for its proximity to the dog beach. I was visiting family and travel with my dog so I wanted him to be able to enjoy the beach as well. The off-leash dog beach is within walking distance of the cottage. The cottage has a fully fenced back yard and a hose to rinse my dog off after the beach and a small deck for him to dry off on. The cottage was charming and comfortable. If you are noise sensitive, you can here the light rail occasionally. We had a super nice stay and would definitely consider staying again.

Restored my Faith in VRBO

I'm sure I'm not alone in having had some bad VRBO experiences, to the point that I have mostly gone back to staying in hotels. HOWEVER, this rental is the way VRBO used to be! No crazy fees, the place was absolutely lovely, the communication was amazing! I would absolutely stay here again, and I probably will since I'm in the area so much these days. These folks really do it right.
