Let me start by saying that my family is inherently high maintenance, having a 2 and 4 year old. This was the most comfortable place we have ever been aside our own home. The location was so clean,comfortable, close to the beach, playgrounds and the fairgrounds. And the yard was perfect for little ones needing to scamper around. This is the best vacation we have had. We will be back!

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. 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 !}

Octopus Hideaway
Octopus Hideaway
It’s all about location and this cottage is in a great area! We appreciated the use of a beach wagon (use 25th st for wagon access), boogie boards, towels and chairs and were on the beach within minutes. The crosswalks are very pedestrian friendly which also made for a smooth walk to beach. The beach itself is clean and monitored by lifeguards. Even after busy sight seeing days the proximity to the beach made it so easy to visit daily. Grocery store is close by and we used kitchen for breakfasts. We are a family of 4 (kids 20 and 16) and we knew it would be “cottage sized”; however it wasn’t an issue for us. It is a cute space and because of location, I would easily stay again.

I don't travel much during global pandemics, but when I do, I prefer the Octopus Hideaway. At a time when a change of scenery was desperately needed, Brenda and her team provided the ultimate escape. There's a reason this house has a perfect 5-star rating - the adorable beach cottage has everything you need: it's perfectly situated directly across the street from one of the nicest stretches of beach in North San Diego. Just a 2-minute walk to the sand, and that's with hauling all the beach chairs and umbrellas and toys and boogie boards that Brenda supplies for you - so you don't have to worry about bringing anything with you. It's only a few minute drive to downtown Del Mar and Solana Beach - home to some terrific restaurants that do takeout and delivery. Brenda recommended a breakfast spot - Claire's on Cedros - and we ended up eating 3 meals there. The ricotta-stuffed french toast is worth the trip alone (sorry this is turning into a food blog). In addition to excellent recommendations, Brenda left a nice personal note, small gifts for the kids, a complimentary bag of coffee - and a very clean and comfortable house. There's a cute backyard with a picnic table where you can relax and BBQ (get the Tri-Tip from the grocery store in Cardiff!). And an outdoor shower to rinse off all the sand from your day at the beach. I'm sure I'm forgetting things - but rest assured Brenda didn't. Stop reading this tome and book already. -Eric

I cannot give a strong enough recommendation for this property. The unit was amazing and we really loved the private outdoor space. It was a short walk to the beach and restaurants. The beach supplies in the garage were wonderful. The owners were easy to contact and very thoughtful.

Fantastic Airbnb! Absolutely loved staying here. The beach house is adorable, quaint & cozy! Fun beach decor. I loved the beautiful outdoor space. And the location couldn’t be better! Just a two minute walk to the beach. There were lots of little touches that make you feel welcome, like fresh ground coffee, beach toys for kids, beach towels, beach bags etc. The home was also sparkling clean. Didn’t worry about my 2 year old running around the house and yard. You never know what to expect and I’m thrilled I chose this air bNb. Would definitely stay here again!
