We were looking to stay in the Ridgevale Beach neighborhood, as our family had rented various cottages there many (many) years ago! We were so happy that the neighborhood and beach has maintained its charm and beauty. It was so special to find a house to comfortably accommodate my mom, my husband and preschooler and me, and my two brothers and their wives. Having 2 showers plus outdoor shower also super helpful for large group. Having a tub in one of the bathrooms was great for our child, and the house and property felt fairly safe for a (supervised, of course) curious and adventurous three year-old. The house is a bit shabbier on the exterior than photos show, but that didn't matter to us. If you're planning to do some cooking, bring your own salt, pepper, oil, and spices, or reach out to Del Mar and ask if they've acquired, as there was very little for our visit. We loved the spaciousness of the house, the charm, the 2 decks, and the fact that there is a washer and dryer on premises. Would definitely consider returning. Thank you!
