Had a wonderful time at this Del Mar gem! The location is AMAZING and the space was perfect for our family's needs. We loved having use of the beach chairs and beach wagon!

The cottage is on a quiet cul-de-sac just steps from the 25th Street Beach which includes a lifeguard tower, bathrooms, and showers. The area is perfect for running, hiking, walking to restaurants, and watching magical sunsets.{! active.recommendations.description !}

Brenda has a lovely cozy cottage in Del Mar. I grew up in New Jersey and the decor -- warm, bright, friendly -- reminds me of shore towns everywhere and how delightful they are. I was consistently impressed by Brenda's communication, organization, punctuality, and friendliness.

We came back! This was our second stay at Shell Cottage. It is even better than its charming photos! Close proximity to the beach makes repeated forays during the day a breeze! Coffee on the porch was a relaxing way to start each day. Having an ample kitchen makes Shell Cottage a flexible home base for other adventures.
Richard
Brenda is a delightful host . She gives you complete privacy, yet is available by text or email immediately upon inquiry. The cottage is lovely and the location is perfect... a one minute walk to the beach.
Christine
The cottage was wonderful. It was an easy walk to the beach and we loved that there were chairs, toys, beach towels and best yet a wagon to carry everything to the beach. Brenda responded to all of our questions within minutes. My family and I are already planning our next trip.
