Great locations

House was in an ideal location - short walk to the beach and had all the beach gear we needed. Beds were comfortable. Indoor living space was a little small, but there was plenty of room outdoors. Only thing that could be improved would be the water flow in the shower. We had a great time and will definitely stay here again.

Great Beach Location

Our family (7 adults and 1 three year old) recently stayed at this Del Mar location for 9 day and had a great time. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever. The house and property accommodate a large group well with good space for gathering indoor and out and lots of privacy too. We walked the ~2 blocks to the Del Mar's beautiful beach every day, and the serious runners among us had great trails nearby. The dead-end street is very peaceful, but the location gives quick access to shopping, restaurants, and parks.

Convenient location, nice accommodations

Pros: 1. Great location. Easy walk to beach, easy drive to many other locations. 2. Ample parking 3. A lot of sleeping space Cons (I rarely leave Vrbo ratings, but made an exception here) 1. Be careful about going there in hot weather. The property does not have air conditioning. They are very open and honest about this. But it does get hot. After being out all day, we would return and the indoor temperature would be 86 °F. Having black out shades on all the west facing windows would help, but these are only on some windows now. It gets cooler at night, but even with fans on high, it takes many hours to get to a reasonable temperature. 2. The neighborhood houses are close together. Windows are open because no AC. They told us many rules about being quiet (they even sent us texts when their sensors [huh!] detected our noise, not sure what the source was [our kids?]). We had many loud and disruptive neighbor sounds until 1-2 am on several nights. 3. They clearly know they have a problem with the shower drains, because there are many warnings about getting sand in the showers. When we arrived, one shower drain was completely clogged. They should check it between clients. They were very responsive. 4. On trash day they sent us innumerable texts and emails to take out the four large trash and recycling cans. Two were completely full (before we arrived).

10/10 would stay again!

A group of friends and I got to meet each other for the first time face to face for a convention in San Diego. Staying at Beach Dreams was just that - a dream. A short, pleasant walk to the beach where we saw whales and dolphins and rays, a short drive to the bonfire pits in Mission, a short commute downtown and best of all, a comfortable, spacious house with tons of room and pleasant hangout spaces. It was super easy to check in and out too. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again.

Great Location and Great for Families

This property was great for 2 families with small children - plenty of bedrooms and large beds to accommodate all different sleep styles, as well as a large dining area. The property was located just a short walk from the beach, making it easy to visit multiple times a day. The kitchen was a little small, with no great place to store pantry grocery items; however, our kids loved all the toys they found hidden in closets. We also appreciated all the fans as they helped keep the property well ventilated during the heat wave. Would certainly stay here again!

Don't Bring Your Dogs

We left our two doodles inside the house around 11:00am to go to the market. The property manager called us shortly after to inform us our dogs were outside barking & the neighbor was complaining & had taken video. We rushed home unsure of how our dogs could've gotten out. The dogs were inside the house asleep when we arrived back. The property manager refused to share the video over privacy concerns for the neighbor. She admitted the neighbor was, "an old lady who regularly complains." The PM did finally admit she misspoke when telling us the dogs were outside. Our dogs occasionally bark but not non stop & especially not when indoors. If you stay here with dogs expect to be filmed by a neighbor who isn't happy with renters next door.

Don’t always believe other people reviews give things a chance and experience them on your own !!!!

This house could not have been more perfect for a dog family with kids of any age !!!! Dogs had there own security in the back your and side yards ... adult kids had a great time being able to walk and explore... a very peaceful and quiet area.... would recommend this place In a heartbeat. Great place for people with small children also ... fenced in yard and toys and no packing in cars to get to the beach !!! Will be staying here again in the future for sure 😇

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Del Mar! The house is a quick walk to the beach and we made use of the wagon, chairs, boards and umbrella. It was super convenient having the crosswalk located at 25th to get across Camino Del Mar since it can be a busy street.

I would never rent from your company ever again.

It was the most unfriendly place I've ever been. I call it neighbors from HELL! The house is nice. Beds were uncomfortable and very hot inside. It was supposed to be PET FRIENDLY, but not really. I invited my family for one day because it was my birthday, they brought their Chihuahua, (very small) for the day. We walked to the beach and left the dogs in the house and all I got was emails, texts that the dogs were barking in the daytime and got threatened to call the Code Enforcement. Good grief!!!!!! It was so hot inside the house during the day so the only relief was to hang out outside but we couldn't talk normally after 9 PM. Everybody was whispering. I paid a lot of money to rent it for 3 nights but we left the last night. So I only stayed two nights and two days. The neighbors also have dogs that was barking but I did not complain. I better get my deposit because we left the house more cleaner than when we moved in.

Love it! Second year to stay in this house!

This was our 2nd summer spending a long weekend at this home and we absolutely love it! The location is perfect: right across the street from the beach and an easy walk into town. 4 bedrooms fits our large-ish group, and everything we need for our stay is already in the house. This home has become sort of a "tradition" for us, so I anticipate we'll be back again next year! (One tip: bring extra toilet paper and a few trash bags. The owner does provide some, but with our group we went through both before our stay was over and had to make a quick run to the store.)

Beach Dreams was a great place for our family to stay

Beach Dreams in Del Mar was exactly as advertised. And, when we needed help with the internet, someone appeared right away to troubleshoot for us. There were tons of beach toys available, a godsend with two young children to be entertained, and having DirecTV was great for the sports fans in our group. We would come again.

Long weekend family visit.

We all loved stating at your home. There were 5 adults actually staying there over the weekend and my daughter and baby visted during the day. The house had everything that we needed, heater worked nicely during the evening during the rain, and a short walk to the beach. We did not use the beach toys, etc. but there looked like a good selection. My grandson loved the little plastic bike, car and scooter. Internet and TV worked great. Everyone who communicated with us were very friendly and helpful. Thank you. We would stay here again. Sheryl
