Gorgeous Oceanfront Beach House, Walk to Beach, DEL MAR / SOLANA BEACH

Location, location, location! Perched on the cliff overlooking Fletcher Cove, this newly remodeled home has a unique panoramic view of the Solana Beach community main beach, the coast line, and the ocean, right above a surfers spot. The Del Mar Racetrack is a mere 8 minute drive, Belly up and Cedros Design District are a 5 minute walk.

Our family has been coming together here for over 20 years to spend activity-filled summers, to celebrate special occasions, to relax and recharge, or just to watch the beautiful and ever-changing California sunsets.

This is an amazing place to spend your time, and particularly the summers, since the house is 10 minutes away from the Del Mar Racetrack (racetrack season is July-Sept), the beloved Del Mar Fair (May 31-July4), and so many beautiful nearby beaches (open year round).

If you're not catching a glimpse of dolphins or whales from the expansive garden/terrace backyard, a 60 second walk will leave you toes-deep in the Fletcher Cove Beach sand. We're situated 100 feet from the Fletcher Cove ramp, and 200 feet from the stairway to the more secluded Tide Cove. When you're back from the beach, an exterior shower awaits so you can indulge in a splash of fresh water after your salty ocean dip.

Completely remodeled in 2018, there are stone and wood floors throughout this sprawling 4 bed/4 bath home. Four of the five bedrooms have private terraces, and 3 of those bedrooms have ocean views. One of the bedrooms will be used as storage space for the owners, which is why we updated the listing to mention 4 bedrooms instead of 5. The spacious interiors include a gourmet kitchen, an open dining room, a TV room and a living room. If you're looking to spend your time outdoors, a large patio and grassy backyard await on the edge of the ocean.

What we most like about the house is that you can be a big group and co-exist, but it never feels crowded. The property boasts a very expansive private entertainment backyard, with plenty of shaded areas and a constant ocean breeze. The space has a built-in lounging couch with a gas fire pit, a 10-person dining table, and lounge chairs, and the large pad of grass makes this backyard the perfect space to stay away from the crowd.

But if you want to venture out, the house is also walking distance from the Solana Beach Amtrak train station, and dozens of cafes, restaurants, yoga studios, organic juice/food places, the Cedros design district, shopping, and of course, the beach. The list does goes on - in fact, ask us and we'll happily send you our list!

The house has the best of both worlds - it's laidback like a vacation home, but is also a custom-built designer home. It looks like it belongs in a magazine, but it's also incredibly comfy, inviting, and well-thought-out.

If you enjoy cooking, or have friends that can cook for you, our fully equipped gourmet kitchen will dazzle you:
2 Dacor ovens, 2 Thermador warming drawers, a brand new Bosch dishwasher, a Subzero refrigerator, and 2 sinks.

We love to play music, especially while we're cooking, so the house is setup with Sonos in all the common areas and also outdoors. Each of the bedrooms has its own TV, and all of the bathrooms have floor-heating systems.

The TV room has a giant 65-inch LED TV and is ideal for movie nights (or simply marathon-watching your favorite episodic TV).
