Beautiful, light (plenty of windows), great location- 1 block from ocean and 2-5 from plenty of Del Mar's restaurants, minutes from great walks/hikes. Hope to come back!
Mindful Cottage is the most charming property! The care and attention to detail â in every space â is obvious from the minute you open the door. The photos are a perfect reflection of the cottage coziness and warmth. The ocean view terrace is a spectacular spot for morning coffee or a glass of wine at sunset. The location is also phenomenal, just a few houses off the ocean in a legendary Del Mar neighborhood. Walkable to absolutely everything â shops, restaurants, two parks and the famous Del Mar beach. Gina made check in and check out easy and seamless. In three words: weâll be back! (Thanks, Gina!)
The Mindful Cottage was perfect for two seniors visiting for a wedding. Love the short walk to the bluff, watching the sun drop in the evening! The cottage was very well equipped. Only negatives were fairly uncomfortable chairs and sofa (although we were generally on the go anyway!) and the flickering LED lights, which I believe could be easily remedied by replacing the dimmer switches with dimmers designed for use with LED lights. All things considered, we wouldn't hesitate to seek out this rental again!
The place is perfect for going to the beach all day every day. You can drink your coffee on the balcony to the sound of the waves with a gorgeous view. The main strip starts a 2 minute walk away with dozens of cute restaurants which were all good. But the show stopper is that everything you need to set up camp at the beach is in the garage including a wagon to haul it all about 10 minutes to the main beach and park. We had a great vacation.
Exactly as pictured. 15 minute easy walk to one of the best beaches (Powerhouse beach, next to Jakes Del Mar). Easy walk to numerous great restaurants.
The cottage was cute and cozy. The location is awesome and well within walking distance of the beach and restaurants in Del Mar. To hear the waves in the distance was a huge plus. We would stay at the Cottage again.
As a former north county San Diego resident, I come back âhomeâ as often as I can. My husband and I have stayed in many different set ups over the years, but this cottage is by far our favorite of them all! You canât beat the location or the accommodations. It felt like home from the moment we walked through the door. Gina is fantastic and makes herself available to her guests. Weâll be staying here on all our future trips!
We had a terrific month in Del Mar here. We loved the location which allowed us -- in about 30 seconds-- to get to the bluffs/path overlooking the ocean -- a gorgeous walk, morning, noon, or night. Easy, fun walk into town for restaurants. A really quiet neighborhood where most folks walk. Lots of light with windows all around, all could be opened for fresh air and cross breezes as needed. Gina got back right away when we had a question. My only comment is that if you like to cook/eat in a lot during your stay vs. go out to dinner, the kitchen is quite basic with its tools and serving dishes.
