About this property

Coastal Del Mar studio with fabulous views - 10 min walk to the beach!

This newly renovated studio apartment has gorgeous panoramic views of Torrey Pines State Reserve, Peñasquitos Lagoon and the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy the scenery from your windows, private balcony, and large deck. Located in a residential neighborhood, it's a short walk to a coffee shop, 4 restaurants, and Torrey Pines State Beach. Nearby Torrey Pines State Reserve has miles of trails. for every ability. Drive 2 miles north to the seaside village of Del Mar or hop on the I-5 or 56 freeways to easily access within minutes all that beautiful San Diego has to offer.

The studio is bright and airy; windows and skylights provide lots of natural light but black out shades provide darkness when you want to sleep in. We've tried to provide everything we like in a home-away-from home! The modern kitchen has what's generally needed to prepare, cook and store food, but if there's an additional appliance you like to use, we're happy to lend it. The furnishings are contemporary, and we're told that the bed and bath linens are especially comfy. Washer and dryer are on property. Store your golf clubs, bike or surf/paddle board in the secure garage. Beach chairs, towels and umbrella are provided, and there is an outdoor shower to wash off sand. Off-street driveway parking spot is included.

The studio is located above our detached garage. You access it by entering our shared, enclosed courtyard, then have one flight of stairs to your front door and private deck. Motion detector lights illuminate your way after dark.

To help you plan and pack, when you book your stay we'll send you a digital copy of our Welcome Guide which has detailed information about:
- what's in the apartment
- where to get what you need nearby; there are dozens of restaurants, groceries, shops and services
- our area

Thinking about a long stay? Save 20% by booking your dates with these tips in mind:
- We offer a 10% discount for stays of 4 or more weeks.
- Like many cities, San Diego has a short stay Transient Occupancy Tax (10.5 %) which by law Vrbo must add to stays less than one month. Stays of more than a month are exempt from the tax.

Although our setting is generally very tranquil, there are noises out of our control that we would like you to be aware of. Trains occasionally traverse the Peñasquitos Lagoon valley and sometimes aircraft from MiraMar Airbase stray from their normal flight path. All these occurrences are commonplace in coastal Del Mar; we hope they won't impact your stay with us.

Whether you're looking for a beautiful spot to work remotely, a place to call home while you explore San Diego, or just stay put and relax, we look forward to hosting you. Feel free to message us with any questions.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Perfect Place to Stay in Del Mar

Well appointed studio with a beautiful view was a nice place to call home for the week with an added bonus of being able to walk a few blocks to get a great cup of coffee on the way to the beach. We enjoyed our stay and the hospitality was great.

Hands down the nicest, most hospitable and generous hosts we’ve ever encountered. Amazing views of the marsh and Torrey Pines from the balcony and a 5 min walk to the beach. Apartment was very well equipped. Quaint neighborhood of West Del Mar was most enjoyable too … enjoyed that scene. Highly, highly recommend this place!

This is the second time we stayed here and this time we stayed for 32 days. Everything was done to make our stay as pleasant and convenient as possible. Carol and Paul were outstanding hosts and couldn't have been better. Location was also outstanding. Walk to restaurants, beaches, and access to trails and all San Diego has to offer.The Torry Pines Preserves ,minutes away, have world class trais with breathtaking views. To cap it off, a protected 25 plus mile bike trail is less than a half mile away.We are looking forward to returning.

Three Great Weeks in Del Mar

Carol and Paul were excellent hosts. They went out of their way to help us in many ways, which we appreciated, as we were new to the area.The unit was also well-equipped. The location was very walkable to coffee, a few restaurants and, though a bit farther, to the central area of Del Mar and its amenities. And still it was near enough to the rest of San Diego. We would definitely stay there again.
