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!!

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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation in this adorable bungalow. The location can’t be beat! It had all the essentials for our family, including a high chair, toddler step, beach toys and a wagon. We also appreciated how quiet it was at night.

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!

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.

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 :)

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!!

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!!

Amazing location literally steps from the beach, and also a close walk to our favorite dog beach. House was spotless, super cute and. had everything we needed and more. Aside from that, which is really already enough for us to rebook - the hosts were amazing. Amazing communication before and throughout. We managed to somehow lock ourselves out of the bathroom and they came over right away to help us. We also forgot my son’s stuffy, and they offered to mail it back to us free of charge. A truly excellent experience from beginning to end! Don’t hesitate - just book! You’ll be glad you did!

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!

I'm sure I'm not alone in having had some bad VRBO experiences, to the point that I have mostly gone back to staying in hotels. HOWEVER, this rental is the way VRBO used to be! No crazy fees, the place was absolutely lovely, the communication was amazing! I would absolutely stay here again, and I probably will since I'm in the area so much these days. These folks really do it right.

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!!

Location
A standout location: a short walk to the beach, with several mentions of the Del Mar dog beach and proximity to restaurants, town, and local attractions like the racetrack and fairgrounds. The neighborhood is generally quiet.

The rental was well located right by the beach. It was clean and well equipped and was perfect for our stay. I would recommend it!

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!

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.

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!!

We loved this property, it's excellent location - across from the beach in a quiet area, the private patio - the yard was perfect for our dog, and the little notes and touches from management. Just lovely. Management was also very helpful and accommodating.

Amazing location literally steps from the beach, and also a close walk to our favorite dog beach. House was spotless, super cute and. had everything we needed and more. Aside from that, which is really already enough for us to rebook - the hosts were amazing. Amazing communication before and throughout. We managed to somehow lock ourselves out of the bathroom and they came over right away to help us. We also forgot my son’s stuffy, and they offered to mail it back to us free of charge. A truly excellent experience from beginning to end! Don’t hesitate - just book! You’ll be glad you did!

Lovely, comfortable cottage—literally a block from the sand and ocean. Our own patio and parking. They provided coffee and other kitchen items which was great. Washer and dryer a big plus! Would stay again definitely!

Every detail of this small cottage has been thoughtfully imagined and executed. It is extremely well kept, clean and tasteful. The location is excellent being a short walk to the amazing Del Mar beach. Also within walking distance of great restaurants and facilities in Del Mar village. Beach Haus Rentals are very responsive and clearly manage the property in a very professional way. Just two of us stayed at Seahorse Cottage. The property would be perfect for a family of four with children. I think it would feel small for two adult couples. We would not hesitate in booking another stay here.
