Juliana's house in Del Mar was truly a fantastic rental. We stayed for a week, a family of four with two teenagers, and loved everything about the house. It was spacious, the views are incredible, the neighborhood is beautiful with amazing gardening and architecture and a 5-10 minute walk to a nice coffee shop and casual Mexican restaurant. It's only 20-30 minutes to downtown San Diego, La Jolla or north to Oceanside/Carlsbad. We are a walking/hiking bunch and loved being able to step out our front door and reach Del Mar beach, Torrey Pines state park, and the Torrey pines extension, all without having to turn on the car. And the house was perfectly appointed with thoughtful touches, little things like a set of pens at the writing desk, books on surfing spots and lifeguarding, and coffee and initial breakfast items provided for day #1 (perfect when you arrive tired!). Juliana was a very warm host who gave us a great tour along with suggestions of what to do in the area, she was always quickly available for questions while giving us plenty of privacy. Overall we loved staying here and highly recommend it!
