Coastal Del Mar studio with fabulous views - 10 min walk to the beach!

This newly renovated studio apartment has gorgeous panoramic views of Torrey Pines State Reserve, Peñasquitos Lagoon and the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy the scenery from your windows, private balcony, and large deck. Located in a residential neighborhood, it's a short walk to a coffee shop, 4 restaurants, and Torrey Pines State Beach. Nearby Torrey Pines State Reserve has miles of trails. for every ability. Drive 2 miles north to the seaside village of Del Mar or hop on the I-5 or 56 freeways to easily access within minutes all that beautiful San Diego has to offer.

The studio is bright and airy; windows and skylights provide lots of natural light but black out shades provide darkness when you want to sleep in. We've tried to provide everything we like in a home-away-from home! The modern kitchen has what's generally needed to prepare, cook and store food, but if there's an additional appliance you like to use, we're happy to lend it. The furnishings are contemporary, and we're told that the bed and bath linens are especially comfy. Washer and dryer are on property. Store your golf clubs, bike or surf/paddle board in the secure garage. Beach chairs, towels and umbrella are provided, and there is an outdoor shower to wash off sand. Off-street driveway parking spot is included.

The studio is located above our detached garage. You access it by entering our shared, enclosed courtyard, then have one flight of stairs to your front door and private deck. Motion detector lights illuminate your way after dark.

To help you plan and pack, when you book your stay we'll send you a digital copy of our Welcome Guide which has detailed information about:
- what's in the apartment
- where to get what you need nearby; there are dozens of restaurants, groceries, shops and services
- our area

Thinking about a long stay? Save 20% by booking your dates with these tips in mind.
- We offer a 10% discount for stays of 4 or more weeks.
- Like many cities, San Diego has a short stay Transient Occupancy Tax (10.5 %) which by law Vrbo must add to stays less than one month. Stays of more than a month are exempt from the tax.

Although our setting is generally very tranquil, there are noises out of our control that we would like you to be aware of. Monday mornings the trash pickup is at 7:00 am; trains occasionally traverse the Peñasquitos Lagoon valley and sometimes aircraft from MiraMar Airbase stray from their normal flight path. All these occurrences are commonplace in coastal Del Mar; we hope they won't impact your stay with us.

Whether you're looking for a beautiful spot to work remotely, a place to call home while you explore San Diego, or just stay put and relax, we look forward to hosting you. Feel free to message us with any questions.
This apartment's great location gets high marks from our customers. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. Breakfast (surcharge) and concierge services are available. The apartment includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.

Del Mar Delight Delivers
We loved this cozy little nest. The suite is very well outfitted with everything we needed for an enjoyable 12 day stay. We really appreciated the orientation guide and the use of the State Parks Pass. Carol and Paul were friendly, and it was a pleasure to chat with them. The location gave us great access to hikes, beaches, and a fine selection of local restaurants. The bed was super comfortable. We would be delighted to stay there again.

Our hosts were incredibly hospitable and helpful! The property itself had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable and wonderful visit. The outdoor terraces provided beautiful sunset views of the Pacific and Torrey Pines State Reserve along with easy access to the beaches and hiking in the Reserve.The studio's close proximity to Bird Rock coffee, Roberto's and of course the towns of Del Mar and La Jolla also make this an ideal location for a relaxing getaway.

Great stay at Del Mar CA.
Great stay in a fantastic location. Property just minutes from the beach as well as incredible walks on top of Torrey Pines . There are 2 balconies, one with a few chairs and umbrellas. The other with a table and a couple of chairs with a great view where we ate breakfast every day. The hosts, Carol and Paul (lovely people) have outfitted the condo with everything one would need. In addition, as a cyclist, I found a protected bike trail less than a 1/2 mile from the property that goes a significant distance with a lot of spur trails to explore.

Wonderful Experience and Gracious Host
We stayed at the Coastal Del Mar studio for nine days. The unit is very well situated near the Torrey Pines State Park, and we found the place well furnished and sparkly clean when we arrived. The unit included all the amenities that we could imagine, and even some that we could not have imagined (like the white noise box to ensure that we sleep like babies!). Carol and Paul are very warm, gracious and helpful hosts, and meeting them made our stay extra special. They provided a pass to the Torrey Pine State park which we used on several occasion during our stay. Carol also provided a detailed booklet with information on their condo as well as places of interest in the area. We highly recommend this place for anyone who is visiting this area.

Beautiful views, close to it all!
Have to say my wife and I were pretty dismayed at the selection of properties available in San Diego, then we looked just a little further afield and found this absolute gem of a property in Del Mar - just a few minutes up I-5! The studio was perfectly located in the quiet but gorgeous Del Mar, just a short walk to an incredible beach and a short drive to anything and everything going on in San Diego. We were able to explore beautiful nearby Torrey Pines State Park with the park pass the owners lent to us, and were steps away from a great New York style pizza place and local burrito/taco stand. The apartment itself was perfect and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was a nice secluded guest apartment at Carol and Paul’s beautiful home - separate from the main house and with its own entrance, it was perfectly private, but with probably the best views of the whole place! Wish we had made more use of the separate terrace! Our hosts were extremely accommodating and accessible, and met all our impromptu needs. Can’t say enough good things about our stay with Carol and Paul!

Wonderful!
The place was perfect. There was so much thought that went into the set up - I wanted for nothing. The bed is super comfy - the kitchen / bathroom is so well stocked with essentials and more. It had everything. Carol & Paul are delightful host. Amazing communication and beyond kind. They made the stay even better! The place is perfectly located near Torrey Pines Beach - I walked to Del Mar a couple of times - a few miles with ocean views. Close to the highway. If a small place will work for you - it is absolutely perfect! I couldn’t recommend it more! They go out of their way to make sure your stay is a great one! I will stay again!

The apartment was perfect, and Carol was so helpful and kind. It was comfortable, clean and well equipped. We made good use of the park pass. Absolutely loved Torrey Pines! My daughter and I felt safe and the location was perfect for exploring the southern coast. (We had a car.). Spent a day at Balboa Park, saw seals and sea lions in La Jolla, enjoyed the sandy Solana beaches and the towns of Cardiff by the Sea and Encinitas. Highly recommend this lovely place!
