We loved our stay in Del Mar! Great property with a private pool and hot tub. We stayed with a family of six and it was a very enjoyable and comfortable stay. The kitchen is immaculate and very well stocked, with all modern appliances. One of the nicest surprises was the massive fish tank in the main room. Great stay and highly recommended!

This property is as advertised. It’s a top shelf, luxury property, close to everything and far enough away to give you the privacy needed to slow down and enjoy Southern California at its best. Wolf appliances in the kitchen. All finishes were as expected and were a delight. From the sheets to the towels, we were so comfy.The host was very responsive and helpful. Willing to answer questions and provide guidance, they’re truly wonderful.

A beautiful home and incredibly gracious, thoughtful hosts. Our family of (7) parents, adult children and plus ones had a wonderful visit to the San Diego area, made even better by the fabulous house and hosts. The house is very well appointed, with many extra touches that made us feel welcome (fresh flowers, bottled still and sparkling water, starter coffees and teas, a few spices, fun family games and other thoughtful items like toiletries and laundry starters that so many hosts don’t provide). Brad provides a list of local attractions and restaurants-we took in many and had a great time at all. The pool and rooftop deck were fan favorites-great sunrises and sunsets from the rooftop deck. It is easy to get around, too. We walked a lot-including to the beach (uphill on the way back but a great workout!) but there is also a ton to do in the Del Mar downtown, which is a quick 5 minute drive. Easy access to the highway to get to the city, La Jolla, Mission Bay, etc. Check out in and check out are easy; the hosts were accessible and helpful throughout our stay. Just an all around great location, great hosts, and great house. Don’t miss this one!

LOVED Every Minute!From the moment we arrived at Recuerdo Del Mar, we were impressed! The beautiful pool was so inviting, we wanted to jump right in. Opened the front door to this spacious and clean modern home and our kids immediately ran to the HUGE salt-water tank filled with dancing, colored coral and darling fish. Living Art for sure! The kitchen was gorgeous and well-appointed. We loved grilling and dining with the lanai windows opened wide, right out to the pool and spa area overlooking views of the Torrey Pines Reserve. Just writing this makes me want to go back again and stay even longer next time! Amazing master bedrooms with private decks made it feel so relaxing to enjoy a morning coffee or a glass of wine at sunset. All the beds were so comfortable; loved the master shower with steam room. Ahhh! The rooftop deck had a full kitchen, table, and couch under the stars. Fabulous location too! Del Mar is a charming village with awesome beaches, upscale dining, and fun adventures. Our hosts, Brad and Sharon guided us to The Best of The Best, were professional, responded promptly and were very thoughtful with even the small details. Excellent experience from start to finish. We made lots of great memories and will be back! Highly Recommend!
