Cottage holiday rentals in Del Mar

We have stayed in this community many MANY times. I will say this.... You can't beat the location! The views and accessability to the beach, pool, parking was phenomenal! The beach toys and extra fans were great! The artwork in the unit was awesome and the owners brought a new table for the patio that was really nice! On the other hand.... this not the most updated condo, not the best equipt kitchen, and not the comfiest beds we have ever had in this community. For the extra money we would likely choose another unit next time.

This location is by far my favorite during my many visits to SD. Cutest cottage with the perfect location. Walkable to some amazing coffee shops and to the beach! Although the street has a lot of foot traffic, the cottage was very peaceful. It was never noisy and parking was never an issue for myself and guests that visited. Kristine and Clint were very responsive and gave simple instructions for us. This is a great place to relax and unplug! Thank you for an amazing time!

Really enjoyed our stay. Lovely neighborhood. ( neighbor cut me one of her roses)Easy to get around. Ocean Beach so close. I would like to recommend that some safety bars placed in the shower. It was slippery Also, microwave was difficult to get at on top of the fridge for us short er folks. But the stay was wonderful. Would recommend it to others!

This place is incredible! The beds are so comfy, the location is ideal to the bay and an area restaurants etc! The outdoor space is lovely. And the pool and hot tub are awesome! We did not want to leave! Aurrora is a wonderful host too. You can’t go wrong with this place!

The location was beautiful! The kids had fun visiting and feeding the farm animals. The glass (chickens) were very kind and provided us with delicious eggs. The host cared about our comfort and went out of their way to respond to our questions and needs. Being able to enjoy fresh citrus every day was a great plus!

Beautiful area, amazing house to stay in. Very private and the animals were so fun to see. The air conditioning worked so well, all the appliances, TV and hot water/shower were great. Her instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Was able to reference them when I needed. Driving to the house was harder than I expected…the road became one way and ran into an opposite coming car that made it difficult for us to move around each other. Overall it was a unique experience!! Loved hearing the animals and peacocks!! Would stay again and would recommend!

Lovely place to stay at. It felt like you were at home. It was very peaceful and clean. It was easy to find and street parking was not hard to find. Would love to come back and try the jacuzzi.

A true coastal haven indeed! This place was the perfect weekend getaway! Just a short walk to the beach with tons of great shops and cafes nearby—everything in Ocean Beach is so accessible. Having overnight parking made it easy to explore more of San Diego, from paddle boarding in the bay with super convenient gear rentals to quick trips to SeaWorld and downtown for the nightlife. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing stay with friends. The spa was a highlight—clean, cozy, and perfect for winding down after a full day. Plus, our pup loved the private patio with a pet relief area and had a blast at the nearby dog park and dog beach. Highly recommend for couples, families, or friends looking to enjoy the beach life with all the comforts of home. We’d absolutely come back—and don’t miss grabbing some Hoagies while you’re here!

My wife and I enjoyed staying in “The Loft” guesthouse. It was clean, cheerful and located in a quiet neighborhood. The host is friendly and responded quickly to questions. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom is large and well stocked with towels and washcloths. The guesthouse was located close to shopping, restaurants, and major San Diego attractions. The kitchen had everything we needed. We recommend The Loft for your stay in San Diego.

We fully enjoyed our stay at Russell's bungalow. He was very welcoming, responsive to our needs, and always available. The place was well represented by the description and in the photos. The bungalow is in a very nice and quite neighborhood and close to the beach and restaurants.

The location is a great distance from downtown to local restaurants and most of what San Diego has to offer. The area felt definitely safe to walk around in the morning and overall we had a good experience. It is in a hilly area fyi for anyone that may have trouble with that. Other than that it was great.

Was fabulous. Far more noisy than expected & was uneasy about the gate not being secured. But these things are so minor compared to the accommodations. We loved it.

Very well description of place and location and will be looking forward to coming back

Exactly as advertised. PB is a lively area and being less than a block from the beach/boardwalk was perfect.

We had really good time It’s really cozy and walking distance to lot’s of places.

We had a great time staying at Terri’s place for a week. It was me, my husband, our 1.5 year old daughter and dog. The space was perfect for our little family and gave us so much flexibility. It is walking distance to a grocery store, casual and fine dining, bodegas, taco shops, bakeries, ice cream shops, you name it. We were able to enjoy our afternoons out and then cook or grab takeout for dinner after bedtime. The patio was a great place for us to hang out during the day and night. Others mentioned the noise of La Jolla Blvd but we didn’t mind it at all! In fact there was great people watching and we still felt like we had privacy enough to sit out in PJs. Thank you so much for letting us stay! I definitely recommend for small families looking to explore La Jolla and Bird Rock.

Such a beautiful Airbnb, we had everything we needed. Jordy was a very nice and communicative host, would recommend this place for a nice get away! Included parking was also extremely helpful, very walkable neighborhood. Thanks Jordy!

Perfect spot for our needs. Comfortable beds, quiet neighborhood, and had everything we needed! We would love to stay again.

I stay at air bnb’s about every other month and Robert’s place is by far the best! Fridge was stocked with sodas and water, snacks galore on the counter. Robert even delivered pastries, which were amazing, on Sunday. I will certainly try and book this place for my next trip! Thank you Robert you definitely are the super host!

This cottage was exactly what I needed. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of calm I hadn’t experienced in a long time. The place is super well-designed—cozy, comfortable, and with so many little thoughtful touches that make it feel like a true retreat. It’s one of those places where you instantly feel at home. What really stood out to me was how peaceful it was. I’d wake up to birds chirping in the morning, and at night, I’d hear coyotes howling softly in the distance. It was the kind of quiet that just lets your mind relax, which was perfect for me since I’ve been working a really high-stress job. Being able to come back to this space every day felt like a reset button for my brain and body. And I can’t say enough good things about Marina. She’s such a kind and genuine person—so easy to communicate with, always quick to respond, and just incredibly thoughtful. You can tell she really cares about her guests having the best experience possible, and it makes a huge difference.

We absolutely loved our weekend getaway as a family of 3. Our almost 1 year old had the perfect accommodations and Rachel truly thought of everything we may have needed. The location of this cozy cottage is perfectly situated between the beach and the bay and we loved all we got to explore within walking distance. It's also a direct shot to nearby places and was a great launching point for our MLB game and trip up the coast. So happy with our stay.

We had a great time in Ocean Beach, his place is super close to the beach and all kinds of restaurants and target. it is not loud at all at night time. the guy next door at the cycle shop is nice. I felt safe being there with my kids. I read reviews so brought my own toaster, no big deal. Smelled and felt clean. my kids liked the pull out couch. The only suggestion I would make for the owner is clean up the outside area where we park it's realy dumpy looking. But will definitely stay again.

First and foremost thank you for the hosts for the local suggestions and most importantly the hospitality into their home. Being able to stay in a peaceful and mellow area while being able to be so close to the waves of the ocean was one of the best experiences. Not only is it surrounded by good food but also by amazing experiences that the person has to look for. Overall a 10/10 experience and I would recommend. One of the only exceptions would be the parking situation but it’s understandable for the capacity of the neighborhood surroundings.

Perfect location and wonderful place to stay! The hosts were super responsive and helpful when I had any questions. Highly recommend staying here.
