Great little beach bungalow. The kitchen is quite basic but it’s a great location and a very comfortable home. Brenda is a super responsive host. We traveled with a baby and she provided a packnplay, baby bath and high chair!

Grab your wine glass or your koozie and your beach cooler: it's all here waiting for you. Then stroll out this charming 1940's beach bungalow--one of a charming duplex duo--and you're at the beach. Some say it's a three minute walk, or with little kids you may clock in at four minutes. But it's an easy flat stroll with a crosswalk that flashes and California drivers who attentively halt when you even think about crossing the road. Enjoy Del Mar's locally famous 25th street beach, which rolls contemplative in the morning and bustles during the day. And then come back to your home away from home: our owners consistently stay here and make little tweaks and improvements, so you know it's truly livable and ready for you.

All our properties are well stocked with towels, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, olive oil, cooking-ready kitchens and of course: wine glasses. They allow you to check in and check out without help from us, so you can come and go as you please. If you’ve got little ones, we’ve always got high chairs, pack’n’plays, baby / toddler amenities on request. We can help recommend great babysitters, photographers, and surf lessons for kids and adults alike.
This is part of a duplex, so the garage, laundry, and entryway patio is shared. If you would like to book both duplexes together, they’re listed under “25th St: Your Family Compound.”
Del Mar is your ideal beach town, with swanky shopping walking distance up the hill, parks and beaches galore, and the famous Del Mar racetrack and Fairgrounds just a stone’s throw away. We offer easy walking access to some of the best nature in the world and YogaSix discounts if you want to pop 5 minutes up the road to Solana Beach.
Brenda is an engineer by degree and a mother of four. BeachHaus is a hyper-local operation, based just down the street in Solana Beach. We’ve lived in the area since the early 1990’s, and have come to treasure every twist and turn it has to offer. So if you’re looking for specific bike recommendations or restaurants/cakes for special occasions, let us know. We’ve got you!

Del Mar , CA , United States
The area is safe and quiet, and since you’re on a cul-de-sac this street is especially well suited for a relaxing vacation with minimal traffic and noise.. Del Mar is a wonderful area: you’re a few minutes’ walk from downtown’s shops, restaurants, and playgrounds. You’re right next the Del Mar fairgrounds, and the beach of course. Downtown Solana Beach—with its great art district and gym/yoga offerings—is less than a mile north.{! active.recommendations.description !}

The Turtle Retreat was fantastic! We had such a great time and the place was fantastic. The location, the hospitality, and the space all exceeded expectations. We had our 16 month old son with us and they provided extra amenities for him - a pack n play, high chair and booster seat were out and waiting. He loved playing there and on the beach just a short walk/ride away in the provided wagon. They even had sand toys that he loved! Thanks for being such wonderful hosts. We will be back!

This place had a quiet residential feel with a quick walk to the beach. It was perfect for us with our two year old. They had everything we needed for him and for going to the beach.
Rose
The cutest little retreat in the best location! Perfect for my husband and I. We cooked in and walked on the beach. Thank you Brenda for your amazing hospitality!
