Fantastic Del Mar location (If you like the beach)
September 2026
We really enjoyed our stay at Shell Cottage. The location is fantastic and unit is very nice and clean. Everything you need for a great beach week. They have boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas so you don't have to bring them. They also have a washer and dryer which is fantastic. We loved our stay and will be back next September.

We can't wait to stay here again! My wife and I stayed here with our 5 month old and Brenda and the BeachHaus team made sure our stay was seamless and enjoyable. They even provided us with a baby tub, pack n' play, and some beach toys. They are highly responsive and accommodating. thank you BeachHaus team!

An immaculate home in a beautiful location
January 2026
This home is located in a nice neighborhood very close to the beach in Del Mar. Everything seemed brand new, which you don't always find in vacation rentals! No tired or dated furniture here, and all was in good repair. It had small touches I appreciated, ranging from extra ziploc bags to sand toys for kids. All in all, it's a lovely home and a good value considering the location. The only thing to know is that it is a small space - a larger home that has been divided into two units, so the bathroom and bedrooms are quite small and the dining table is right in the little kitchen so you may bang your knees here and there. It worked well for my husband and me plus our 5 yr old for a few days though.
