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.

Grab your wine glass or your koozie and your beach cooler: it's all here waiting for you. Then stroll out this charming 1950's beach bungalow--one of a charming duplex duo--and you're at the beach. Some say it's a two minute walk, or with little kids you may clock in at four minutes. But it's an easy flat stroll with a crosswalk that flashes and California drivers who attentively halt when you even think about crossing the road. Enjoy Del Mar's locally famous 25th street beach, which rolls contemplative in the morning and bustles during the day. And then come back to your home away from home: our owners consistently stay here and make little tweaks and improvements, so you know it's truly livable and ready for you.
