DEL MAR RETREAT & OCEAN VIEW! Walk to the beach!

STUNNING newly renovated condo overlooking the famous Del Mar Fairgrounds. This beautiful home has breathtaking views of the ocean and racetrack and is located in the heart of Solana Beach and Del Mar. Walk to the beach, bars, and restaurants.

Master bedroom includes king size bed, desk, two closets, large, en suite bathroom and TV. Second bedroom includes bunk bed-twin over full (crib also available). The second full bathroom is accessible from the hallway. Washer/dryer, iron/ironing board, pool access and pool towels, beach chairs, boogie boards and sand toys! During race season, watch the horses from the comfort of the patio.

Here's what some of our guests (check out our reviews at the "other" big listing site) have to say:
"Anne's home was even more beautiful in person than the photos. The view was incomparable"
"Anne is a wonderful host and quick to respond to answer any questions. It has a great view of the ocean and race track and just a short walk to beach."
"This place was absolutely stunning! I honestly didn’t want to leave the home to go out and enjoy the city."
"The view was incredible and we were even able to watch the horses run in the morning. Everything was super clean and tidy and honestly, it was everything (and more) we could want."

We stayed here for just over a week and it was perfect for our family of four. It was clean, spacious, and in a perfect location. Easy access to great food, beaches, the railway, San Diego, the fair (and horse track) and anything else that you might want to do in the area. We HIGHLY recommend and will be back.

Great Ocean View

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I loved the panoramic view of the ocean. Solana. Beach and close by Del Mar are beautiful beach towns. The place is well kept and clean. A feature that I appreciated is having a garage in which to park my car. Anne is an exemplary host. She is easy to communicate with and will promptly respond to messages. I would definitely stay there again.

Therapy at Dog Beach

The property was fantastic. Two items that could use attention, top sheet on the bed had a rip in it and the plug in air fresheners gave the house an unnatural scent, also a bit more attention to detail in the towel linen area. We loved looking out and seeing the ocean!!! Dog beach was amazing. We sat and watched all the dogs play, it was like being at a broadway show/sitcom. We would definitely stay at this property again
