Great place to stay in Del Mar! We are in Del Mar not infrequently for soccer tournaments. Not sure how we’ve never stayed here before. A bit dated, but tons of space, friendly staff, plenty of towels, directly on the beach, easy parking, walkable to all the cute shops and restaurants, and reasonably priced considering location and size of the apartment. Will absolutely book here again.

Wish we’d stayed longer!
We live in San Diego but had a water leak at home and decided to get away for a night locally. The location is unparalleled. The view was amazing and the 2 bedroom condo was perfect (more than enough room) for 2 adults and 2 kids. The staff was so sweet and friendly and available. 10/10 would recommend.
