Gorgeous Beach Cottage, Minutes Walk To Beautiful Del Mar Beaches Or Restaurants
Constructed in 2016, the Del Mar Beach Cottage is a modern coastal masterpiece designed to refresh the senses and deliver the perfect seaside escape. Visitors frequently note its impeccable architecture, refined details, and the effortless elegance that defines every corner.
At 1,800 square feet, this Cape Cod–style cottage on the Bluffs offers a glimpse of the ocean, golden sunsets, and the gentle rhythm of seaside breezes. Just outside your door, three miles of coastal trails and pristine beach access beckon for morning walks, sunset strolls, or a day of sun and surf.
Soaring ceilings and large windows frame the picturesque ocean and lush landscape, bathing the home in natural light that highlights every refined detail. The layout is airy and inviting, blending casual beachside comfort with elevated modern living.
The upper level hosts the main living area, complete with a stone fireplace, dining space, and a full bathroom. Outside, a manicured courtyard is perfect for sunrise coffee or sunset cocktails. Also upstairs, a petite chef’s kitchen awaits with Bosch appliances, a 4-burner Wolf range, and stone quartzite countertops. Chic European white oak flooring, Italian marble tile, and stone surfaces enhance the home’s sophisticated coastal charm.
The lower level of the cottage is thoughtfully designed as a comfortable and private sleeping retreat. It features a beautiful master bedroom with a well-appointed en-suite bathroom, creating a relaxing atmosphere ideal for unwinding. The master suite also includes a generous walk-in closet, a welcome convenience for longer stays. This level additionally offers a charming second bedroom with two twin beds and an adjacent cozy bonus room. The second bedroom includes its own private bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy for all guests.
Step outside, and the allure of Del Mar continues. Turn right to stroll down the lane to the beach and coastal trails with sweeping ocean views and magnificent sunsets. Turn left, and within minutes, the charming Del Mar Village awaits, offering boutique shopping, fine dining, and the vibrant energy of the seaside town.
Experience the allure of Del Mar at the Del Mar Beach Cottage. You’ll be thrilled that you did!

Beautiful home and very comfortable for adults. Del Mar is very charming and the beach is gorgeous. Access to the beach was a little tougher than expected even though the home is in a very desirable location with being in close walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the main beach entrance.
Fantastic cottage decorated and furnished in extreme luxury. Easy walking to beach and tons of awesome restaurants. Even better than advertised. Hassle free check in and check out.
We enjoyed another great week at the Beach Cottage. Everything about the property is wonderful and communication with the host is very easy. The location in Del Mar couldn’t be better.
Colette’s home was a dream! I loved everything about it. Our family of 6 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Perfectly close to the best beach in San Diego! Beautiful kitchen, natural lightning, cute little patio for breakfast and comfortable beds. I am picky about sheets and happy to report they were cotton! Colette even left the most beautiful, fragrant garden roses in each room. I would definitely come back. Cannot recommend enough.
Exceptionally well-equipped property, comfortable, impeccably clean, with high-end appliances and finishes. Short walk to beach, cliff-top overlook of ocean, and restaurants.
Thank you for an absolutely amazing stay at your gorgeous beach cottage! We had everything we needed and more for the most relaxing vacation. We would love to stay here again for our next visit to Del Mar.

Thank you Julie! I so appreciate your kind words and am delighted that you had a wonderful vacation!
What a beautiful spot. The owner takes great care of the cottage and it’s in a great location - only a few minutes to the beach. We had a terrific time and will hopefully be back for another stay soon.
Our family had the most relaxing beautiful stay! Colette was the most kind and gracious host and we could not have asked for a better location or more beautiful home. We will be coming back every year to this little part of heaven.

Why they chose this property
We have lived in Del Mar for over 20 years and are passionate about what it offers. A pristine and beautiful coastline. Breathtaking walks high above the Pacific or down along the sand with your feet in the ocean.... Early morning walks watching the pelicans dive or evening strolls hoping to catch the elusive green flash. This small town is unique and retains a character not often found along the Southern Californian coast anymore. There are a wonderful selection of restaurants to enjoy from morning coffee, crepes, organic green smoothies to sophisticated and elegant dining options. Many restaurants offer an ocean view with a breathtaking sunset. Add a glass of bubbly to any Bistro style experience which helps punctuate a simply delicious meal. The beaches offer a variety of prevailing swells and accessibility. Surfing, stand up paddling, body surfing, or just paddling in the shallows. Lounging on the sand with a book is an option everywhere!
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with the Del Mar bluffs location where the cottage is built. The proximity to both the beautiful coastline as well as access to the urban lifestyle afforded by the city of Del Mar is incredibly unique. Simply put, to be able to walk to all these activities is an incredible luxury.
