THE DEEP DIVE
All BeachHauses are engineered for simple, easy living. All BeachHauses feature self check-in and check-out. They're stocked with beach toys, beach towels, bath towels, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, olive oil, and cooking-ready kitchens.

Drop down the road and onto the beach: it's a 2 minute walk with a great crosswalk, and totally flat. All the better for the beach toys you have in tow, found waiting for you in the shared garage with your own little wagon. Play in the sand, relax back into the sun, boogie board or surf. Then come back to a truly cooking-ready kitchen, an outdoor shower, your own private fenced back yard. The owners spend weeks here every year so you know it's livable. All you have to do is come.

What a lovely cottage! Very well maintained and spotlessly clean with nice sheets and towels, comfortable furniture and bed and a well stocked kitchen. In the garage there was everything we might possibly need to enjoy the beach - toys, boogie boards, umbrellas and chairs with a wagon to take it all down to the beach. And the beach is accessible without stairs to manage! Crossing the street felt very safe with a well marked lighted crosswalk that led right to the 25th street lifeguard station. Our dog enjoyed the patio and yard and time spent at the beach with us. Communication with Beachhaus Rentals was excellent. We will definitely look forward to staying here again.

Adorable cottage in a great location

Every detail of this small cottage has been thoughtfully imagined and executed. It is extremely well kept, clean and tasteful. The location is excellent being a short walk to the amazing Del Mar beach. Also within walking distance of great restaurants and facilities in Del Mar village. Beach Haus Rentals are very responsive and clearly manage the property in a very professional way. Just two of us stayed at Seahorse Cottage. The property would be perfect for a family of four with children. I think it would feel small for two adult couples. We would not hesitate in booking another stay here.
