    THE DEEP DIVE
    All BeachHauses are engineered for simple, easy living. All BeachHauses feature self check-in and check-out. They're stocked with beach toys, beach towels, bath towels, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, olive oil, and cooking-ready kitchens.

    Drop down the road and onto the beach: it's a 2 minute walk with a great crosswalk, and totally flat. All the better for the beach toys you have in tow, found waiting for you in the shared garage with your own little wagon. Play in the sand, relax back into the sun, boogie board or surf. Then come back to a truly cooking-ready kitchen, an outdoor shower, your own private fenced back yard. The owners spend weeks here every year so you know it's livable. All you have to do is come.

Perfect Place for Dogs!

The cottage has absolutely everything you could possibly want, including a lovely backyard and patio. It is a 10-minute walk to the Del Mar Dog Beach, making it ideal for staying with pets. AND there are two parking slots -- very rare this close to the beach. We loved it and will be back!!

The most perfect stay!

This is our second time renting from Beachhaus and it did not disappoint. Seahorse Cottage was the perfect place to stay for my daughter and I for a long girls weekend. Parking was easy, effortless check in, and so close to the beach. The home had everything we needed, super clean and very organized. Beds were super comfortable and the home was very quiet. We will definitely be coming back as this was such a better option than a hotel that we usually do for a short trip. Absolutely loved it!! Thank you!!

Wonderful location!

This is a perfect location for the beach at Del Mar, while the place is very small, it is perfect for a small family or a couple. I stayed with my adult son during the stay and the living area is small with a small couch and one chair. So there is not much space but the location is perfect-hence the 4 star rating, as another chair would be nice:)

Wonderful!

We stayed 3 nights at this little cottage and had a wonderful time! The cottage is very clean and decorated nicely. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and utensils. The queen bed was very comfortable. We took our 2 dogs and we were very pleased with the fully fenced backyard and having the dog beach just down the street. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe. Lots of beach gear in the garage for your use as well as beach towels. We would definitely love to stay here again :)

Dog Friendly and close to the Dog Beach!

I selected this property specifically for its proximity to the dog beach. I was visiting family and travel with my dog so I wanted him to be able to enjoy the beach as well. The off-leash dog beach is within walking distance of the cottage. The cottage has a fully fenced back yard and a hose to rinse my dog off after the beach and a small deck for him to dry off on. The cottage was charming and comfortable. If you are noise sensitive, you can here the light rail occasionally. We had a super nice stay and would definitely consider staying again.

Two minutes to beach, and immaculate

I’ve stayed at dozens of rentals, and this is among my favorites. Beautifully equipped, exceptionally clean. Design-wise, imagine the sample rooms at IKEA. Not everyone’s taste, but it happens to be mine. There are beach carts in the garage. Throw in some provided chairs, toys, etc. and you’re on the beach in a few minutes. Yet you’re in a quiet lovely neighborhood. I can’t say anything about the hosts, because I neither had nor needed any human contact. Everything was meticulously labeled and easy to understand. Please don’t book this property. I want it to be available for my next rental!

Cute, quaint home, perfect location for beach

I gave 5’s across the board with the exception of cleanliness … only because we found some broken glass between the couch and side table but this could’ve been easily overseen by cleaners… we only found it because of my one year old crawling. We loved the backyard and the proximity to the beach.. it is literally minutes from beach. Only downside is you can’t really walk to get food, it’s on the other side of the (bridge?) not sure what to call it and if you do walk through the neighborhood it’s a good long walk .. not a huge deal but just FYI for anyone who wants to walk to get food or coffee… Overall we loved this home and our stay and the communication with the property team was exceptional. As long as you are good with sharing a wall with neighbors this house is perfect.

Perfect Space

My husband, my 18 month old son and I stayed here for the weekend. Everything was perfect and everything we needed was there. We didn't have the opportunity to make it to the beach but the number of extras in the garage to use was quite frankly impressive, and super organized (like everything else in the home). The internet worked great. The kitchen appliances were super clean. Additionally, the owners are very responsive. The private outdoor space is a super nice plus and the washer and dryer. Last but not least, great location for Del Mar and Solana Beach. Even San Diego (we did the zoo) was only about a 40 min drive on a Sunday afternoon. I would 100% recommend staying here and hope we get to again. Thank you!!

Perfect beach cottage!

Great location with an easy walk to the beach and restaurants. The cottage is nicely decorated and well-appointed with everything we needed to be comfortable. It was very clean and the beds have the most comfortable mattress and linens. The back yard is beautiful with tall plants all around providing absolute privacy. The grassy area was perfect for our dog to run around. Unfortunately, we had car trouble the day before we were to check out. Since we were driving through the desert to get back to Phoenix we were hesitant to drive home without having a mechanic look at it. I texted Beachaus to see if we could extend our stay but the Seahorse cottage was already booked. However, they found us another unit nearby that was available and we were able to go directly there when we checked out. They turned a stressful situation into a blessing and saved our trip! We will definitely be coming back to this cottage and using Beachaus for all of our beach vacations!
