About this House

Rare Oceanfront Del Mar Cottage | 180 Pacific Views | Walk to Village

What if everyday life felt like a Del Mar vacation? Wake up overlooking the Pacific, step outside for a morning walk or run, surf before work, stroll into Del Mar Village for coffee or dinner, and come home for sunset.

This charming 1-bedroom + versatile loft, 1.5-bath cottage is one of only five residences set along more than 180 feet of dramatic bluff frontage, with sweeping 180 Pacific views and the character of classic Del Mar living. The open loft provides useful additional space for sleeping, studying, working from home or relaxing.

Located on Ocean Avenue between 9th and 10th Streets, the cottage combines coastal charm with exceptional walkability. Walk to Del Mar Village, 15th Street, Powerhouse Park and its children's playground, as well as beaches, restaurants, cafes, boutiques, shopping and the farmers market. Morning walks, workouts, afternoons outdoors and evenings in the Village can all become part of your daily routine often without getting in the car.

A surfer's paradise: mornings here have their own rhythm as surfers walk by, boards in hand, heading out for their first waves of the day. Grab your own board or simply enjoy the energy of Del Mar's surf culture right outside your door.

And for train lovers, watch the Pacific Surfliner pass along the coast a particularly fun sight for young train enthusiasts and a distinctive part of life along this stretch of Del Mar.

Located within the Del Mar Union School District area and convenient to schools serving Del Mar and Carmel Valley, including nearby Torrey Pines High School and Cathedral Catholic High School.

    "Lots of traffic at certain times of the day. I don’t go to downtown unless I am departing from the airport!"
  • Pzhukovin
    "Very quiet and private beach community. Others are way more populated and crowded. Del Mar is a sleepy beach town in comparison. "
  • Travis
    "It’s a great neighborhood. Del Mar race track, lots of restaurants that can ride my bike too! I can walk on the beach. A lot of festivals going on, belly Up, etc."
  • Trulia User
    "Easy Drive to downtown against traffic. No delays in morning. Return might slow down right at 1st exit for Del Mar. "
  • Waverley A. R.
    "Old Del Mar is dog friendly and we all know each other’s dog’s names and sometimes we know their owner’s names, lol. Cars will slow for dogs being walked and I have never encountered a dog off-leash."
  • Waverley A. R.
    "I work from home and am able to walk my dog intermittently throughout the day. This is a wonderfully tranquil neighborhood. "
  • Will Z.

  • Erikasughey
    "Love this area. Safe and amazing views. Easy to walk to restaurants, bars and shopping................"
  • Erikasughey

  • Charly N.
    "Farmers market featuring local businesses every week is a perk! The summer concerts on the beach are also pleasant"
  • Richmkoll
    "It is a great place to live, bring up children and visit but it definitely has an old feel to it. It is mostly comprised of older generations."
  • Dayherndon
    "Unique homes, quiet, secluded street. One mile uphill from the beach a nice walk for the athletic type"
  • Dara C.
    "I have lived and worked in the neighborhood and find Del Mar to be the best place to call home! It has possibly the nicest stretch of beach in San Diego county, has an excellent Lifeguard department and Community Services department. The Del Mar Foundation and Del Mar Village Association offer tons of fun events to partake in year round but best of all summer concerts in Powerhouse Park. The village has a plethora of top restaurants from Del Mar Pizza to Pacifica Seafood and Jake's on the beach. It is a beach town so summertime is busy with people visiting from all around the world. The Del Mar Race Track is nearby and a short drive away are area attractions such as Seaworld, San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Coronado, La Jolla, Legoland and more. "
  • Info
    "This house is one of the nicest beach homes I have seen. Whenyou think "Beach Cottage" this one is picture perfect. "
  • Carl
    "Stratford Ct between 4th and 6th St is very quiet but has no stores or places for kids to play. Sidewalks are discontinuous between here and town. It is at the top of a bluff overlooking the ocean, but there is no beach access due to the height of the bluff wall (~60'). The nearest beach access is several blocks away. The only traffic is local with the occasional tourist who thinks there is beach access."
  • Steve C. R. E. P.
    "One of the best places to live anywhere if you like the classic beach community. Del Mar is a California jewell where the surf meets the turf and the fun meets the sun. This is the good life in the ultimate location, location, location."
