This is one of our four charming duplex getaways in the Beach Colony area of Old Del Mar, just a three-minute stroll from the beach. Each unit sleeps four comfortably, and includes a garage space, a driveway space, and a private yard. Beach chairs, toys and wagons included! Calendar and photos always up to date. Furniture last updated June 2018. Our duplex cottage is located on 25th Street in the Beach Colony area of Old Del Mar, just a few houses in from the sand on a quiet cul-de-sac. It is comfortably furnished, with a well-equipped kitchen where you can prepare meals for outdoor dining in your private yard. It’s perfect for a family of four: a queen size bed sits in one bedroom, with two twins are in the other. You won’t have to worry about difficult beach parking. You’ll get your own garaged space and a second space in the driveway. We have beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers and boogie boards for your use, and a wagon to haul it around. 25th Street Beach—just a 3” walk away—is a favorite among the local community. The 25th Street lifeguard tower has bathrooms and showers, and there is a well-respected and well-lit crosswalk to get you to the shore on-demand :). This location is perfect for beach time, running, hiking, and enjoying downtown Solana Beach and Del Mar. Walk to restaurants and playgrounds and parks and bars. Watch magical sunsets, night after night. You won't want to leave! Garage, laundry, and outdoor courtyard is shared with one other unit. Each cottage has its own private patio and yard space. All properties have self check-in and self check-out, so you can come and go whenever you please. You can expect to enjoy full privacy from us, but if anything comes up we live just down the street in Solana Beach. I am a mother of 4 kids within 5 years, and an engineer by degree. I’m very detail-oriented and love to share the coastal San Diego area with all guests, especially as young families build their own beach memories. We have lived in the area since 1993. We love everything it has to offer. From the beaches, surfing, body surfing, mountain biking, trail running, hiking, shops to the restaurants, we know you’ll have a great time here. 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. It’s all enormously walkable, and bike are hugely respected. A main bus line runs one block away on Camino del Mar, and Lyft/Uber are generally at your door within five minutes. If you want to explore the region more broadly, Solana Beach’s train station is 1.5 miles away, and the nearby I-5 can both take you up to LA in 2 hours or down to central San Diego in 30 minutes. If you're looking for a slightly different feel for a beach cottage or if you want to come with more family or friends, check out our full array of beach spots by googling Beach Haus Rentals. Looking forward to having you with us.
