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.

    "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. "

    "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."

    "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."
