This house is a cozy little home one block off the beach in Del Mar. It is located between the downtown and dog Beach. It has a lovely, bright, living area and kitchen and three functional bedrooms downstairs. It was a nice day I would stay here again. This is not a luxury property, but it was a very nice beach house and great value.

Perfect Location
Our original vacation was canceled with less than a week's notice. I pretty much assumed that we'd have to cancel our vacation, but the Sandy Starfish was available and saved the day! We all loved that we could easily walk to the beach, come home to rest or eat and then walk back to the beach. It was perfect!

Beach Retreat
We had a lovely week at this beach house. It is comfortable for a family and has everything that you need. We especially appreciated the location and the air conditioning. The dining deck outside is really pleasant!
