wow, this is the best place ever. I had an amazing vacation. The staff was most hospitable. easy parking. I could hear the ocean at night while I slept. makes for a heavenly sleep only a 5-minute walk to the beach, but you could see the ocean from the room.

Bryce at check in was very helpful and informative. Check in was a breeze thanks to him. We booked a room last minute and it was ready when we arrived. Clean and spacious. A good kitchenette for cooking some meals. Easy parking in the lot. Close to the park and easy to walk to the shore or to eateries along the main road. We’d happily stay here again. Worth noting, there was no AC in our room, which was fine for us. We saw a few ants, so be wary of leaving food out.

Great place to stay in Del Mar! We are in Del Mar not infrequently for soccer tournaments. Not sure how we’ve never stayed here before. A bit dated, but tons of space, friendly staff, plenty of towels, directly on the beach, easy parking, walkable to all the cute shops and restaurants, and reasonably priced considering location and size of the apartment. Will absolutely book here again.

The property was absolutely gorgeous right on the cliff of Delmar Beach! it was spotless, spacious ,and the office staff was very friendly! The only thing is the train noise was very loud as the train track is only hundred yards away -not the regular train, but the freight train was very loud . I would still book it again, regardless.
