About this property

Stunning 5BR Terrace Home | Incredible Ocean Views

Summary:
Perched high on the foothills in the elevated Del Mar Terrace neighborhood is this stunning architecturally designed home giving you 180 degree views out over the ocean.

The home offers space for the whole family or group over its 3 levels of luxury living with a gourmet kitchen, 5 bedrooms with 5 full bathrooms, 2 living areas and stunning decked balconies on each level. Walk just 15 mins to the beach or drive to the heart of San Diego and all its attractions just minutes from your door.

The Space:
Relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet within this stunning, architecturally designed home that offers all of life’s little luxuries and everything you could need for a comfortable stay set over three levels of stylish, contemporary living.

Make yourself at home within the open living space where you can slide open the glass doors and step out onto the expansive deck and take in the 180 degree views over the Torrey Pines State Beach and Los Peñasquitos Lagoon.

After you’ve soaked up the views, step through into the gourmet chef’s kitchen that comes fully equipped with high-end integrated appliances, a coffee station, sleek stone countertops and all the quality cookware, dinnerware and utensils you could need.

Off the kitchen is the elegant dining area surrounded by windows and a second living space with inviting sofas and a wall mounted Smart TV. Take the gently winding stairs up to the second level of the home where you will find the two master suites. Both master bedrooms feature a beautiful sun-filled space with sparkling ensuite bathrooms, comfortable hotel quality beds and access to the private upper deck.

Bedrooms three through five are located on the lower levels and also feature their own full bathrooms along with two queen beds and two twin beds giving everyone their own space to relax. Catch up on work or study with gorgeous workspaces overlooking the water along with mini libraries for when an afternoon of reading entices you and a mini home cinema in the upstairs master for a movie night spent tucked up in bed.

On a sunny day, slide open the large glass doors on the main level to create a seamless indoor/outdoor space and let the cool ocean breeze inside. Fire up the BBQ for lunch and enjoy meals together alfresco style with an outdoor table or simply sit back in the inviting butterfly chairs and admire the sweeping, endless views as you sip your morning coffee or evening glass of wine.

So if you’re looking for the perfect space for your next family gathering, special occasion, girls’ weekend away or for a corporate retreat, all just minutes from the beach, attractions and the heart of the city, look no further than this glamorous Del Mar Terrace home.
We can’t wait to welcome you.

Guest Access:
Guests have private access to the all three levels of this luxurious home including private balconies and a BBQ on the main level. You’ll also have access to free Wi-Fi, free parking, complimentary coffee and access to streaming apps on the Smart TVs.

The Neighborhood:
The stunning architecturally designed home is located right in the heart of the scenic Del Mar Terrace neighborhood only 15 minutes from the heart of San Diego, one mile to the beach and only 15 miles to the Del Mar Fairgrounds giving you the ideal place to stay for the horse racing or the County Fair.

From the house guests can walk to the beach in just 15 minutes with some great restaurants, cafes and a Gelson’s supermarket along the way where you can pick up a snack or supplies for a night in.

Enjoy the thrills and spills at Belmont Park (14 min drive) located right on the beach with rides for all ages, great local food and even fit in some shopping. Visit the largest water park of its kind in the world, Mission Bay Aquatic Park, which offers everything from kayaking and stand up paddle boarding to water skiing, sailing, kite surfing and everything in between. If you’d rather stay on land, families can bike ride, picnic, barbecue or celebrate with bonfires right next to the water all just 10 minutes from your door.

See dolphins, orcas, sea lions much more at SeaWorld just a 6 minute drive away or experience the thrills and spills at Belmont Park a quick 15 minute drive from the house.

Experience the Old Town Historic Park, an open air living history museum then wander down to Pacific beach for some great shopping, food or for a night out. Visit the picturesque Lake Murray, a favorite green space for locals. The lake is surrounded by paved trails, making it the perfect place for an evening walk, a picnic in the afternoon or explore the water on a rented kayak.

For even more green space, make your way to Balboa Park with 1,200 acres of pristine emerald green parklands right in the heart of the city. Here you can explore 17 museums then visit the San Diego Zoo which is always #1 on the best zoos in the world list and definitely worth a visit.

Find fun activities on the water at Mission Bay Aquatic Park, which offers everything from sailboat rentals to bike paths. Explore can’t-miss shops and hangouts in neighborhoods such as the Gaslamp Quarter, the East Village, North Park and Old Town then be spoilt for choice when it comes to food with a mix of fine dining through to food trucks serving up some of the best fish tacos you will every taste!
There is something for everyone to enjoy all just 10 to 15 minutes from your door!

Getting Around:
The best way to get around is by car with free parking included with your stay or by bus with a stop only a 10 minute walk from your door.

Guests can also use a taxi service or a ride share company like Uber with plenty of cars at any time of the day or night.

When you visit San Diego, you can’t miss the bright-red trolleys transporting people all over the city. This iconic is a great way to see the city with 3 different lines (blue, green, and orange) that cover approximately 50+ miles.

Or if you want to see the city at your own pace, look out for the on-demand electric scooters and bikes that are just an app away and located all around the city area.

Other Things to Note:
This property is professionally managed and cleaned to provide stellar service for all of our guests! Think of it as a hotel-like experience in a spacious furnished apartment!

All units are stocked with bath towels, hairdryers, Irons, and hotel-style body wash and shampoo/conditioner. If you need anything additional during your stay, please feel free to reach out!

Interaction with Guests:
I will not be present during your stay, which allows you more privacy and convenience. However, I am always here anytime you need to reach out. If you need anything or have questions, just send me a message and I’ll be quick to respond.

Beautiful property with great views of the ocean.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay here. It’s in a relatively quiet neighborhood with a few nice restaurants nearby. The views of the ocean from all three levels was great. The home was very comfortable and spacious.

All was well

Most everything fine. Suggest you add needing a pan on stove before turning on. Could not get island garbage disposal to work. Would recommend property to others and likely use again if we return. Our stay focused around golfing at Torrey Pines. Thank you for your hospitality.

A house and a view to die for

This house was absolutely amazing. It was very clean, very well laid out for a group of people to stay at the house. I brought my team in from all over the US to visit our San Diego office and this house was perfect for our needs. We even grilled out on the final night on the patio and looked out over the ocean.

Excellent Stay

Via Grimaldi was perfect for our family group in San Diego for our daughter’s college graduation. The location is great. Near the campus, Torrey Pines beach, and downtown Del Mar. The house was clean and spacious. Plenty of room to spread out, and a great kitchen and family room to gather and hang out together as well. There were no problems, but Evan was checking in periodically to make sure everything was ok anyway. Would definitely stay here again.

Pretty good

The view is very nice, but the patio furniture seemed a bit dirty. Overall, the house was pretty clean. The beds are quite comfortable which is really important and kind of rare for me to find. The finishes are very nice, though a bit worn in some areas. The two main bedrooms upstairs are connected with a pocket door. That worked well for us because our little kids slept in the other room, but if it was another couple, that might have been awkward. The king bedroom upstairs is very bright in the morning, I’m glad I brought a sleeping mask. The couches and a few areas of the carpet are stained. Kitchen well stocked, though some pieces of silverware were a bit dirty. The water for the nice bathtub upstairs won’t get very warm even though the other shower does fine. The shower sprayer holder in other large bathroom is broken. The blinds wouldn’t open in king bedroom upstairs (remote not working) so we missed out on that view. The screens are quite dirty and they are on the inside of the window so that’s not great. The induction cooktop needs instructions nearby. My husband is super handy and we still had to Google instructions and it also didn’t seem to work fully on the large back burner. The spiral stairs might be difficult for elderly and young children and everyone has to use them to get from the entry level on the top level down to the kitchen and living level. So that’s something to consider. Parking with a large van was possible but a little tricky.

Wouldn’t suggest If you want a premium experience. Not worth the money.

We paid a lot for this home- because we needed and expected it to be a premium property and experience. It wasn’t that. The garage didn’t work so we had to go around to the back of the unit every time to get in and then run and hop over the lazer in garage every time we left. The stove top wasn’t working so we lost out on a few hundred dollars worth of groceries that we wanted to cook. One of the windows upstairs doesn’t close correctly so it was freezing inside the home at night. None of us slept well because of this due to our 2yr old having to sleep in bed under the covers with us to keep warm… she got a fever a few days later. There was only one shower with good water pressure. There was cobwebs in a lot of corners and basically every window sill. The chairs outside weren’t put together. I brought all of this up to host and kindly asked for just one night to be refunded- he refused and said he would only refund $150!! That didn’t even cover our groceries.. and wasn’t even what we paid for the “convenience fee”. I asked another 2 times and brought up that we didn’t even sleep because it was so cold and we couldn’t use the stovetop- 2 of the reasons why we booked the place. He didn’t care. I even contacted VRBO support- but if you don’t know, they are terrible and said it’s only up to the host. Will absolutely not recommend. People pay this high price for a premium experience.. that’s NOT what you will get with this home. Nor will you get an understanding host with common decency for people being uncomfortable and not having things that the listing claimed to provide.

Great!

This home is huge and very upscale, and the views are spectacular from every level. The two bedrooms on the top floor were perfect for the four adults in our party, and the three bedrooms on the bottom level allowed our teenage boys to have their own private quarters, too. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the deck, exploring the neighborhood, and walking down to Bird Rock Coffee and Roberto’s. I did have some concerns about the safety and cleanliness of the property, but was impressed with the place overall.
