Awesome beach stay in beautiful home and peaceful neighborhood

We loved our stay in your beautiful beach house. The house is very modern and extremely well equipped. It was nice having such a close location to the beach. The neighborhood is very quiet and everyone we encountered was friendly. The garage had everything our family needed for the beach. We highly recommend your rental and will rent again.

Excellent stay in Del Mar!

Turtle Retreat is a great property for a small family. Comfortable living room and bedrooms. Has all the amenities you need for a multiple night stay - kitchen appliances/supplies, beach chairs, etc. Very short walk to a main beach access point. Loved our stay!

A great place to stay for a weekend. We parked the car on Saturday morning and didn't use it again until we left on Monday morning. Beach walks, strolling into town, drinking wine on the patio. Definitely recommend

Amazing stay and great hosts

This property is as advertised and is a lovey get away! The host was super accommodating and helped us when there was a travel disruption that caused our trip to go an extra day. The baby gear here was also fantastic and saved us a huge amount of effort to bring ours from home. We will be staying here again!

Great Stay!

We had a great stay at the Turtle Retreat. We loved being so close to the beach! It is an easy walk with kids and the wagons provided at the house are very helpful for beach gear! The unit was set up so well and our family of 4 was very comfortable the entire time. Brenda was very responsive and helpful during our stay. We’ll definitely stay again when we’re back in Del Mar! Thanks for a great experience!

Maybe even better! We loved staying here and will definitely be back! I travel a ton for work and often stay at rental homes and they often do not live up to their photos. This place did! It was spotless, beautifully taken care of and just so cute! thank you for a wonderful stay!

Charming beach property

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 day stay at Turtle retreat. It is a lovely place with lots of well thought out details to make it very comfortable. It is in a very nice, quiet neighborhood with close beach access to beautiful Del-Mar beach. The restaurants and shops in town are nearby. The host was so nice to work with and communication was excellent. We will definitely be back for another trip.

ALWAYS WONDERFUL

We enjoyed the 4th of July holiday at the Turtle Retreat. We enjoy our stacation every year in Del Mar and this year was no exception. This adorable cottage has an excellent location just a block or so off of the beach. We were able to easily walk to Downtown Del Mar, back and forth to the SD Fair and into Solana Beach for restaurants, drinks and fun. We will absolutely stay again!

Great location and well maintained

We had a a great stay. The walk to the beach was wonderful. They do a great job maintaining the property. The only issue we had was our dog. He would bark when the gate that was next to our apartment opened and closed. No protective mini Goldendoodle - no problem…

Just what we needed

This place was perfect for us. Extremely comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. We cooked breakfast every morning and enjoyed a glass of wine in the evenings on the back deck. We took morning and afternoon walks on the beach which was just a few minutes walk away from our front door. We look forward to a future stay. Thanks for hostessing us.
