I spent two months at the Bohemian Cottage this Jan/Feb and really enjoyed the house. Peaceful, quiet, great large screen TV, kitchen well supplied with pots/pan/utensils, beds very comfortable, terrific location with ocean view from the front yard and main street Del Mar (shopping/restaurants) just a couple blocks away. I also loved that it's all on one floor--no stairs! Gina was very responsive to any questions/issues. I'd definitely stay again!

We had an excellent stay in Del Mar! The house was just a advertised, very clean, and perfect for our family of 4. Very quiet neighborhood, close drive to the beach, walking distance to restaurants and coffee shops (just note it's an uphill walk to get to the main street), and close drive to the grocery store. Property manager was great to work with. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Amazing location

We loved our stay here. It's SO close to the bluffs overlooking the ocean! I would start the coffee and then walk down to the overlook and look at the waves and the surfers. The kitchen/living/dining room is a shared area that worked well for us, and the two side patios offered sunlight, one in the AM, one the PM. The garage has been converted into a nice bonus room that is great for office work or yoga/exercise.The manager and her team are great. They were very responsible when we had a small problem with the heat.

This is a perfect location for Del Mar. Just yards to the bluff, walking distance to the beach, blocks to good restaurants and right on the bike trail. The kitchen was well appointed and there were several outdoor areas for family gatherings and conversations.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The home was clean, spacious, and well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. The location is perfect - close to shops and the beach, and steps to the bluffs, where the view is spectacular. There are 2 lovely outdoor patios and chaise chairs in front to relax.

Wonderful!!

We absolutely loved this house. It is 3 houses up from the bluff/train tracks. The passing train is barely noticeable outside and you can’t hear it at all from inside. Gorgeous sunset and surfer views from the rock wall. Cross the train tracks for a walk on the bluff. We loved the small grassy front yard and two comfy lounge chairs, hidden from street view by some bushes. The house was spacious! The garage work space was great. Kitchen was well appointed and included some basic spices, even glass storage containers. Everyone slept well, we found the beds very comfortable and it was very quiet at night. Pretty much zero noise from neighbors. We loved eating on the two patios. From the house to the sand at Powerhosue park is .7 miles; the wagon was handy and much appreciated! Highly recommend, one of the best places we have ever stayed.

California getaway

We stayed at this cottage because our daughter was playing in a soccer tournament in the area. The kitchen was fully stocked, and with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms there was plenty of space. The shower pressure in the master was like a jet stream which was fantastic. The neighborhood is very quiet with great coffee and bakery within walking distance.

Lovely stay in Del Mar

Our family stay at the beach cottage was great. We've stayed in several rentals in and around Del Mar and really loved this location. The cottage is two blocks from the ocean with a lovely view from the front yard, 3 bedrooms (4 beds), 2 bathrooms, and a brick patio with tables and chairs on each side of the house. The house was clean and had plenty of towels, beach goodies, and some key basics in the kitchen like olive oil and spices, which we always appreciate. The AC wasn't producing cold air when we arrived and the property manager was very responsive. We walked into Del Mar for dinner on two nights. (Monarch and Tamarindo are both great, and Wynston's, the new ice cream place, is fantastic!) Del Mar also has some nice boutiques, a fun pet store (Dexter's Deli), and a few great art galleries, all walking distance. Powerhouse is nearby and a great beach/park for surfing, swimming, spike ball or just enjoying the day. And you're also a short drive from the fairgrounds/race track, renting e-bikes in Solana Beach, golf at Torrey Pines, or exploring in La Jolla. We love the area and this was a great spot to start the day!

June in Del Mar

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. We are from Arizona and had the opportunity to escape the June heat for a month in this property. Everything we needed was within walking distance. There was plenty of space for my family which included my husband and kids ages 14,15, and 5. The neighborhood is quiet and restful. Beds were comfortable and office space worked out well for us working remote. A couple of recommendations would be to upgrade the cooking utensils, grill and shower head in the master. I would definitely book this property again. The property manager was responsive and the beach wagon, chairs, and umbrella worked perfectly for our visits to the beach.
