Amazing location! the communication was a bit difficult, since the phone number listed was not correct and I needed to call Vrbo a few times to get the contact to the management company and we were not informed that we needed to send more information to get inside until I reached out 24 hours before.

This uniquely shaped house in Del Mar is near the beach and has beautiful landscaping. It is also a single-family home converted into two rentals, with little consideration for quiet. This is a loud home not because of your next door neighbors, but because of the other vacationing family under the same roof, separated by only a few inches of drywall. I found the check-in process incredibly annoying. They called, texted, and emailed me repeatedly leading up to my check-in day. I had to acknowledge this rule and that rule and sign several forms. I couldn't get my check-in code until I verbally confirmed over the phone that I understood and would abide by all their house rules. At least, I thought, my co-occupants in the other unit would also be considerate and well informed about the rules. No. Every day I was here, I was awoken to the sounds of life from the family sleeping above and beside me. I called and was empathized with. It must have been so frustrating for my wife and me. However, half-hearted corporate apologies were all that could be conjured by the host. The disturbances continued for the rest of my stay, despite repeated notifications to the host. I fully expect this wasn't a case of neighbors from Hell; it was a single-family home converted for extra income. This home lets sound travel, as any other home does. Be aware that if you aren't renting both sides, you will be sharing your vacation with another family.In the end, although I have many of the same gripe

Staycation

Our House was being painted so decided to book something fun for the week. Our 3 and 1 year old had an absolute blast. It rained 2 of the days so we were stuck inside but other than that most time was spent on the beach. Didn’t have to lug lots of stuff. Could just walk back and grab what’s needed. Quite, peaceful neighborhood, kids lived the train going by ever so often. Would book again if time comes.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us! We're so happy to hear that your little ones had a blast and that the home’s location made beach trips easy and stress-free. Even with a couple of rainy days, it sounds like you still had a fun and relaxing time. I agree that the peaceful neighborhood and occasional passing train add to the charm! We'd love to host you again at any of our 70 coastal properties whenever possible.

Amazing location!

The townhouse is beautiful and looks newly remodeled. We walked 2 blocks to the beach every morning and swam. The location was amazing and all the amenities including the AC and the outdoor shower were great. The house rules are rather numerous and overly picky, but would not be a problem for a responsible renter. Going through all the strict house rules does bring added stress when on holiday, so I think that’s the only criticism. Otherwise, the location was to die for and the place was lovely, tasteful & comfortable.

Cute place, updated, quiet

Place was great and clean - love the outdoor shower. It was too cold to go out back but very cute! As locals here we frequent Del Mar and know the neighborhood attitude but unfortunately it seems the neighbors were pretty uppity and got our 2nd car ticketed for "blocking the driveway" which was not in fact blocked. It appears they think it is their reserved spot and have a stolen Cal Trans cone to block it as the next day they had a guest parking in the same spot (no ticket..).. Still a great place and of course the neighbors are out of the owner's control but it is not a very rental friendly place (as is common in lots of nicer neighborhoods).
