This is the perfect home to relax and enjoy your family and the beach. It was super comfortable and set up beautifully to enjoy the beach. We loved sitting on the patios both upstairs and downstairs. We would love to go again.

Our family absoltely loved staying at this wonderful beach house! Rio Del Mar holds a very special place in my heart since I grew up coming here as a child, and this house and location can't be beat. We loved waking up to the sounds of the ocean waves, and easy access to the sand and beach. Will be coming back again!
