2920 Camino Del Mar
Del Mar , 92014
If the success of a beach house is judged by time spent enjoying the actual home—not building it, or sprucing it—then Ocean House Del Mar is worth its salt. The low-lift, high-performance compound comes with the ultimate perk: Getting back to the roots of playfulness at the beach. Collect seaglass. Walk the beach. Surf. Rinse. Repeat.
Del Mar is an ocean-lovers’ paradise. Surfers and dogs cut a striking silhouette on the horizon; with sherbet skies and green flashes, sunsets are storybook. The wide sandy beaches are extremely walkable, stretching south toward Torrey Pines State Beach (six miles round-trip). There’s three notable surf spots nearby and endless beach breaks from 15th Street to The Rivermouth. Out front: There’s bodyboarders, skim boarders, foilers and fishermen. Dog Beach is an off-leash nirvana.
Designed to be activated, the multi-gen gathering place is a true expression of lifestyle and entertainment. Invite friends: The indoor-outdoor dining room spills onto the 75-foot-wide beachfront patio through pocket doors. Play Hearts at the oceanview card table. Also primed for play: A ping-pong pavilion and grill area. The covered outdoor living room serves as a social hearth anchored by a wood-burning fireplace.
