About this house rental
This fabulous twin-home is located close to the beach in the heart of north coastal San Diego.
Our three-bedroom/2.5-bath home is situated in a distinctive private, gated community that features a private courtyard entry with custom wrought iron gates, and a beautifully landscaped front entry and common area.
You'll enter through a private gate to an 18 ft high dramatic cathedral ceiling leading into the living room. A light and elegant formal dining area catches the eye. Special features include nine-foot-high ceilings, spacious open floor plan, and multi-paned windows bringing in lots of light. Ceiling fans are throughout the home.
Relax in the family room by the cozy fireplace. Catch your favorite sports or movies on the 42' HD flat screen TV. Beautiful and comfortable furnishings add to the ambiance.
Interior and Patio Description: The family room is open to the gourmet kitchen, for family and friends to gather.
Outside the glass door there is a lush and spacious landscaped patio -- complete with a gas grill, custom built table, and benches, beautiful swing and loveseat. Share hors-d'oeuvres, and a beverage as you enjoy the incredible weather this San Diego location offers.
The sunny remodeled kitchen has big-view windows overlooking this succulent and flower filled patio. It offers a breakfast nook, with a unique table that opens to seat 6-8, all are provided to make your stay warm and welcome! There is a powder room on the 1st floor.

A large grassy area invites a place for children to run, have a catch or play.
World Class Golf and lots to do! It's less than a 10 minute drive to the beach. And it's just 10 minutes to both the Del Mar Race Track and the famous Torrey Pines Golf Course. Several other golf courses, tennis and pickleball courts are within an easy drive.

Carmel Valley, Del Mar, is the best that San Diego has to offer. Many famous people have homes or vacation in Del Mar. Who knows who you might run into!

More to See and Do! Because we are little east of the ocean, we have the added luxury of waking to sunshine when the coastal fog may take a few hours to burn off from about mid May to mid July.

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
The house was fantastic. Very comfortable and great location. Host was wonderful and easy to communicate with
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
We had a wonderful stay at Patti’s Del Mar Haven. Patti was a fantastic communicator and was so kind and gracious to have pool toys and beach gear ready for us. Our boys loved the community pool and we were close to everything in San Diego we wanted to see. The home is comfy and so welcoming. We loved our stay!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2023
The house was very nice. Kitchen was stocked better than any place we’ve stayed at. The owner contacted me ahead of time and asked the ages of the kids so she could have pool toys and beach chairs and umbrella for us. She also told us where some nice beaches and restaurants were at. We had a great time
5 / 10·Aug 2016
We had a great experience dealing with Patti from A to Z. We were originally supposed to come with our children only, but Patti was kind enough to accommodate 2 additional guests (parents) as well as lend us a crib for our 2-year old toddler. She also gave us plenty of details about her house prior to us booking it as well as after when we were arranging our trip to San Diego.Patti's house is spacious, located in a quiet, gated community. We stayed there a whole week of July 2016 and we very much enjoyed both the proximity to Legoland (15 minutes away from Patti's home) as well the community pool. The nearby mall with a large Ralph's was very convenient to stay well stocked during the week.We highly recommend Patti's home for a family or up to 3 couples who are looking for a comfortable and quiet place to stay in the San Diego surroundings.exThanks again Patti and Steve for the excellent vacation we had in San Diego thanks to you!
