Fantastic location with a 30-minute drive to downtown San Diego, short walk to a public beach, and a great ocean view from the balcony. We also appreciated having off-street parking, beach toys available to use, and some streaming services provided. The neighborhood is very quiet, making it a great place to unwind and relax. Would definitely stay there again.

Home is 1970's beautiful wood frame and 4 houses from the beach trail. The location can't be beat however the photos are misleading. The rooftop patio shown is the neighbors. The ponds are weedy and algae covered fountains. This is an older home that could use a deep clean. Cobwebs in the rafters, toilet and sink not attached to the floor in the bedroom with the king bed. The beds are very firm, and the towels need to be replaced. Screens are missing from several of the windows.

First off the house was a bit dusty and had a few broken screens. Secondly, what an amazing house. I love the quirky aspects of the house. All the windows on the second level living areas gives you a great view of the ocean. The house was incredibly stocked, I have never to been to a VRBO where every type of utensil is there threefold. The outdoor kitchen was great, we used it twice. The kitchen (inside) has all the appliances you need. The location is fantastic, easy walk to restaurants, shops, and bars. Grocery stores are 1 mile to 1.5 miles away. Torrey Pines beach is a little over a mile and an easy walk and the main beach in Del Mar is less than a mile. Will, the host, is great with communication. Would recommend 10/10 times. I can’t say enough good things about the house.

Comfortable ocean-view home with interesting features

This was our second stay in this home. We especially enjoyed the upper level balcony with a view of the ocean; the ocean views from the living/dining/kitchen areas; the quiet setting; the proximity (ten minute walk) to Del Mar beach; and the series of interconnected koi ponds both in the back and in an enclosed indoor-outdoor room. A very desirable place to stay.

Excellent location fantastic host

William has resorted my my faith in VRBO. He was so easy to deal with. No check out requests/demands, Direct communication, effortless, check in process. I highly recommend this property for adults. The view from the main level is breathtaking. The outdoor kitchen was perfect for our group. The koi ponds are gorgeous, but probably not ideal for small children. Great spot for anyone looking to enjoy north county.

We enjoyed our stay, but this home is different and may not be for everyone. The stairs could be a problem with small children and anyone with mobility issues. If you are looking for a comfortable, different place with ocean views in a beautiful neighborhood, this is worth a visit.

We had a wonderful stay in this fun, creative, quirky house. The outdoor kitchen with surrounding koi ponds were what we liked the most, as well as the Del Mar location. Comfortable beds. Plenty of seating areas. Beautiful sunset views. Walking distance (1 mi.) to Powerhouse Park and the beach, with easy access to Del Mar restaurants and shops along the way. The only thing we thought needed improvement was to have better organized kitchen drawers and cupboards. The owner was accommodating and responsive. You should note that this is an older house and not pristine, so if you want an upscale resort setting, this is not the place for you.

Fantastic place for a Del Mar getaway!

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Will’s unique home. Plenty of room for the 5 of us. Really convenient having 3 bathrooms. We especially loved the view from the upstairs living area and spent a lot of time on the balcony overlooking the ocean and beautiful sunsets every night. The outdoor living area and kitchen are charming with the koi ponds. Didn’t get a chance to use the outdoor kitchen, however, because it was a little chilly. Will was a fantastic host and very responsive. Location to beach and downtown Del Mar can’t be beat!

A Home Away From Home

6 of us spent 6 nights here while checking our granddaughter in at UCSD. Her take on the house: "its like your cool uncles house"! The location is perfect, the view from the main floor of the house is spectacular. The outside room, the backyard with all the koi ponds and outdoor kitchen area were so awesome we found ourselves always gravitating there. We had ample room to spread out. The house was clean and tidy, linens were clean. Communication with Will was super easy. We felt very comfortable and relaxed here and will definitely stay again if/when we come back as a group.

This is a wonderful, unique property. We had six 70 somethings and the house worked well especially the patio with koi ponds. That was lovely. The property owner is very responsive and easy to work with. The house has a great location. The only negative I would say is that if you are a clean freak, this might not be the house for you. If you can stand dust and clutter, this is a GREAT HOUSE!!! I am a clean freak and I was able to overlook those things because the rest was so fun! There is an ocean view from the upper deck and you can see the sun set into the ocean every night unless clouds obscure it. Since we are all from Kansas very far from an ocean, we really enjoyed this!

Creatively cool!

This property is unique, quirky and cool. The outdoor sitting and cooking areas are beautiful and relaxing. The bedrooms are very comfortable (although the upstairs bed is a bit hard). But the upstairs living and kitchen areas were the highlight with such a beautiful view of the sunset and ocean. Although you cannot see the beach, it is in walking distance. A lovely, creative, wonderfully cool home. Although the downstairs is handicapped accessible with walk in shower, the upstairs is not.

Other than a hiccup upon arrival and waiting occupy and to unpack, everything was great. Will, the owner, certainly went out of his way to correct the problem and stayed in contact as a courtesy which was most appreciated. Hoping to rent again in the future. There was no property manager but owner responded quickly. Good vibrations felt by all. Kindest regards, Stephanie Stone-Stinson
