Best location ever

We had a terrific month in Del Mar here. We loved the location which allowed us -- in about 30 seconds-- to get to the bluffs/path overlooking the ocean -- a gorgeous walk, morning, noon, or night. Easy, fun walk into town for restaurants. A really quiet neighborhood where most folks walk. Lots of light with windows all around, all could be opened for fresh air and cross breezes as needed. Gina got back right away when we had a question. My only comment is that if you like to cook/eat in a lot during your stay vs. go out to dinner, the kitchen is quite basic with its tools and serving dishes.

Spend MORE time here!

We booked here thinking it would be a nice place to get ready and recover from a show at the nearby concert venue, The Sound (that was a decent+ site), but upon arrival we wished we had booked more time there. Everything in the house is as described, and the manager has thought of every extra you might need. The bed is comfortable (though I would have liked a second TV in the bedroom), and the living room being entirely separate upstairs made it a mindful space, indeed. For resting my mind in any case. The porch has the view described, though why the property owners don't, or didn't in our case, have the gardener cut the the trees between the next house just a bit more so you can actually see the ocean is so confusing as to suggest maybe they cannot cut it or round the edge or something? It was helpful to have laundry machines available, loads of beach equipment -- the beach trail along the cliff side is nice. There's a train frequently in the day time, but it must not run at night, as we couldn't hear it. All of our questions were answered, but we had complete privacy. The kitchen was stocked for cooking, everything smelled fresh, and the cleaning is certainly mindful as well (not a hint of anyone else having been there). So, book this place with confidence that what you see is what you get -- and more -- with great help from Gina (?) the property manager.
