This living room, kitchen is flooded with natural light, has a peek ocean view and wonderful patio to enjoy coffee/drinks/sunset viewing. If you are inclined to walk 3 doors down, you can sit on the sea wall and enjoy a full ocean view. The Mindful Cottage is a cozy and relaxing spot to get away from it all.

Dedicated parking on the driveway.

on the north end of Del Mar, close to Torrey Pines State Beach and 1/2 mile to village of Del Mar. Quaint and quite.

Walking to town and beach is about 1/2 mile. Most of San Diegos attractions require a car.

This is a guest cottage in the rear of a main home. The two properties are not connected. You will enter from the alley (main house enters off of 9th Street). The only interaction you may encounter is when they cross the lawn to empty trash or get beach gear. All their living and outdoor space faces 9th Street.

This is a very pleasant property in a superb location, just a few hundred feet from the edge of the cliff over the ocean (with good ocean views from the living /dining/kitchen areas); a short walk from the beach; and a short walk to restaurants and shops. It is clean and well-equipped, with a comfortable bed. It also has the virtue of being quiet and peaceful, with no traffic noise and no through traffic on its short dead-end street.

Mindful Cottage Relaxation

The cottage was cute and cozy. The location is awesome and well within walking distance of the beach and restaurants in Del Mar. To hear the waves in the distance was a huge plus. We would stay at the Cottage again.

Mindful Cottage is the most charming property! The care and attention to detail — in every space — is obvious from the minute you open the door. The photos are a perfect reflection of the cottage coziness and warmth. The ocean view terrace is a spectacular spot for morning coffee or a glass of wine at sunset. The location is also phenomenal, just a few houses off the ocean in a legendary Del Mar neighborhood. Walkable to absolutely everything — shops, restaurants, two parks and the famous Del Mar beach. Gina made check in and check out easy and seamless. In three words: we’ll be back! (Thanks, Gina!)

The place is perfect for going to the beach all day every day. You can drink your coffee on the balcony to the sound of the waves with a gorgeous view. The main strip starts a 2 minute walk away with dozens of cute restaurants which were all good. But the show stopper is that everything you need to set up camp at the beach is in the garage including a wagon to haul it all about 10 minutes to the main beach and park. We had a great vacation.

The Mindful Cottage was perfect for two seniors visiting for a wedding. Love the short walk to the bluff, watching the sun drop in the evening! The cottage was very well equipped. Only negatives were fairly uncomfortable chairs and sofa (although we were generally on the go anyway!) and the flickering LED lights, which I believe could be easily remedied by replacing the dimmer switches with dimmers designed for use with LED lights. All things considered, we wouldn't hesitate to seek out this rental again!

Great Neighborhood Location

We really enjoyed this location, which is in a really quiet neighborhood that's still a relatively short walk to Powerhouse Park and its beach entrance. The 2nd-story balcony is a great place for a couple to relax and enjoy the sound of the waves and peek views of the ocean. Gina was an incredibly responsive and communicative host. We would definitely stay here again.

Best in North County

As a former north county San Diego resident, I come back “home” as often as I can. My husband and I have stayed in many different set ups over the years, but this cottage is by far our favorite of them all! You can’t beat the location or the accommodations. It felt like home from the moment we walked through the door. Gina is fantastic and makes herself available to her guests. We’ll be staying here on all our future trips!

Great cottage near everything in Del Mar!

Beautiful, well equipped cottage on the bluffs above the beach and easy walking distance to downtown Del Mar. Very quiet home with private entrance and easy parking. We were able to walk to all our various functions in Del Mar as well as the primary beach without a concern. The train nearby was careful not to sound its horn in the residential neighborhood.
