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.
Unlike a hotel, apartment, or condo-style rental, here you have your own two-story cottage to call home with your own ocean-facing front porch and ocean view, dedicated parking space, HVAC, and private laundry. It's the privacy and independence of your own little coastal home, right by the Pacific.
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 upstairs 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.
Minutes from Carmel Valley, Torrey Pines State Reserve, Torrey Pines Golf Course, UC San Diego and Scripps medical centers, with convenient access to San Diego's biotech and technology corridor, including Pfizer, Illumina and Qualcomm.
