The Space:

The Octopus Hideaway is an easy two-minute walk to the beach. We're not kidding: you may find this little bungalow duplex so charming that it's hard to leave the building itself. But the joy lies in its proximity to the beach: two minutes by foot, through a charming neighborhood and without a care in the world. So load up the house wagon with our beach toys and yours if you want, then dip in the ocean and relax into the sand. Come back to this charming spot--our first BeachHaus, but recently updated--and know that you're in good hands and among friends in North County San Diego.

All BeachHauses are engineered for simple, easy living

* Well stocked with beach toys, beach towels, bath towels, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, olive oil, cooking-ready kitchens and of course: wine glasses
* No contact check in and check out , so you can come and go as you please

Feel at home in our beloved North County

* We can recommend babysitters, photographers, acupuncture, whimsical-fantastic birthday cake chefs, and surf lessons for kids and adults alike.
* Discounts at local YogaSix studio
* Swanky shopping nearby in the Cedros Design District
* Hiking, parks, and beaches galore
* Del Mar racetrack and fairgrounds nearby

About Us

* Brenda is an engineer by degree and a mother of four
* Our team radiates passion, creativity, and enthusiasm for both learning and hospitality
* BeachHaus is a hyper-local operation, based just down the street in Solana Beach
* We’ve lived in the area since the early 1990’s, and know you'll find beauty and joy here
* Find us at BeachHausRentals (dot you know what) and save :)

Guest Access:
Shared access to garage and laundry as well as common outdoor areas. Each cottage has its own private patio.

The Neighborhood:
The area is safe and quiet, and since you’re on a cul-de-sac this street is especially well suited for a relaxing vacation. Del Mar is a wonderful area: you’re a few minutes’ walk from downtown’s shops, restaurants, and playgrounds. You’re right next the Del Mar fairgrounds, and the beach of course. Downtown Solana Beach—with its great art district and gym/yoga offerings—is less than a mile north.

Getting Around:
It’s all enormously walkable, and bike are hugely respected. A main bus line runs one block away on Camino Del Mar, and Lyft/Uber are generally at your door within five minutes. If you want to explore the region more broadly, Solana Beach’s train station is 1.5 miles away, and the nearby I-5 can both take you up to LA in 2 hours or down to central San Diego in 30 minutes.
