About this apartment rental

This private, second-floor guest house enjoys a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean and is full of tiki charm. The spacious 823-square-foot living area contains a queen bed, a sitting area, a work/desk area, and a kitchenette, PLUS two balconies/decks, creating the ideal open layout for solo travelers or couples—a beautiful walk into the heart of downtown Olde Del Mar and beautiful Seagrove Park and beach. With off-street parking and a quick flight of stairs over a detached garage, you enter this unique, topical-themed guest house.

Inside is a cozy sitting area, which is perfect for reading or watching TV; the free-standing copper fireplace creates a mid-century vibe, and the clean, efficient kitchenette is well organized, with two counter-height Sub-Zero refrigerators, a microwave, a coffee maker, a toaster, and a hot plate. Equipped with tableware, pots & pans, coffee & tea, basic spices & oils, and cleaning supplies, you have the choice of dining inside or stepping out to the patio table to enjoy the ocean breeze.

It is just a step up to the luxurious queen bed and desk/work area overlooking the sitting area and kitchenette. Hiding behind the boho screen is a Diplomat folding twin bed with matching bedding. WOW! View, view, view. The living area is expanded by the additional 200 sq. ft. porch with two seating areas, a patio table for 4, and a comfortable sofa next to the BBQ, effectively combining indoors with outdoor living.

Adjacent is a huge bathroom, and it is awesome ... boasting a walk-in shower with four, yes, FOUR shower heads, a large cedar storage area (previously a sauna), a toilet, and a sink with ocean views, as well as access to another private 160 sq. ft. balcony!

The studio does not have central heating (or air conditioning), but it does have an electric blanket and a portable heater, and, of course, the fireplace is more than enough when it is chilly.

This is a charming rental. We were there in January. On warm days we ate outdoors on the balcony. On cooler days, we enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets from inside by the fireplace. Janet was very responsive and funny.

This place was absolutely amazing. The photos truly do not do the view justice. Everything exceeded our expectations. Janet was wonderful to work with and was quick to answer any questions we had, which made the entire stay seamless. I highly recommend this property and plan to be back.

Great coffee setup in the kitchen! Great views. We really enjoyed watching the hummingbirds as we had our morning coffee. Great communication from owner.

This is a very special place, even better than the photos. The studio is spacious and beautifully appointed. The ocean view is wonderful. The neighborhood is quiet and close to everything you would want to enjoy in Del Mar. Janet is a lovely hostess. We hope to return!
