I didn’t know much about the area when I booked my stay, but I’m so glad I chose Del Mar. It’s a beautiful coastal town with plenty to do while still maintaining a quiet, laid-back atmosphere. Everything you could need restaurants, shops, and the beach is within walking distance of the resort. The views of the Pacific Ocean are incredible, and falling asleep to the sound of the waves was one of the highlights of the trip. While the rooms are a bit dated, they were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. My only suggestions would be to provide bottled water in the rooms and consider improving the water pressure. Overall, Wave Crest is a fantastic place to stay and an excellent home base for exploring San Diego. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

I had a wonderful stay at Wavecrest. The staff were all super friendly and helpful! Check in and check out were a breeze. Unit was super clean with a nice layout. Location was perfect - right next the park and very walkable to nearby beach access, local shops, and restaurants. The pool and hot tub with ocean views were amazing! I also loved that my unit had such a gorgeous ocean view & private balcony. The unit itself was larger than I expected from the pictures which was a pleasant surprise. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything I needed for my stay. Highly recommend!! Del Mar is a great location overall with easy access to the freeway & lots of nice shopping & dining options.

It was a perfect place to stay for the short trip we had. Very close to the beach, which was my preferance, and close to a lot of restaurants, shopping places and more. We had a fabulous time staying there and I would certainly choose it again for my next trip. The view of the ocean from our room was amazing.
