We had a wonderful stay at this Del Mar home. It sits with a nature preserve and lagoon to its south and the Pacific to its west. It is close to excellent restaurants and has easy access to PCH and I-5. Although the general area is busy, the home is quite private, enclosed by hedges, trees, flowering bushes, and other landscaping. There are areas of retreat within the house for time alone, if desired. There are four dining-sized tables for gathering, two outside and one in. The one on the upper deck--pictured in the listing--was our favorite, offering memorable evening breezes and sunsets. Other pluses--The host is responsive and communicative. The house is described accurately in the listing. The kitchen is well-stocked; there is a barbecue, and everything was in working order. We were a group of six adults, all related, and we plan to return here for another reunion!
