Pros: very close to the del mar beach. Big condos. Helpful staff. They provide beach towels, which is a big plus. Cons: cleaning should be more regular. Currently they clean once a week.

Lovely place to stay, located in a great neighborhood. Quick 3 min stroll to the beach. Unit was extremely clean, came with everything one would need. Between the amenities and friendly onsite staff, we had a wonderful experience.

This was built in the 80s and they take extremely good care of the facility. They are in the process of update the units removing the old tile counter tops and replacing them with stone for example. My sister and brother in law were staying there when we were there and their unit had had a kitchen up date ours did not. But all in all you can’t beat the location so I’d recommend it to anyone who is going to Del Mar, CA.

these appear to be timeshares because eachunit has a kitchen living room area and bedroom which is much nicer than a normal Motel

The location can't be beat, especially for the price - it's about a five minute walk to the beach and an even shorter walk to the restaurants of downtown Del Mar. The sound of the waves crashing at the pool is so relaxing...if it isn't filled with a bunch of young kids. The Murphy bed was reasonably comfortable. There is no AC so we slept with all of the windows open, which meant we were woken up by the sound of delivery trucks backing up on some mornings (the nearby train was surprisingly quiet comparatively!) We look forward to staying here again soon.

A Happy Wife.
Booked for my wife's birthday. SHE LOVED IT. 2nd floor condo with full kitchen and a beautiful view of the ocean. The attached picture is the view from the pool on the property, got to see 2 beautiful sunsets. Large heated pool, 3 clean, large BBQ in the pool area. Very clean room and premises. An easy walk to the beach. Free parking. No issues at all. Will definitely stay again.

Best little secret in Del Mar..
We had an amazing stay. The location couldn't get any better. You have the beach and restaurants minutes away by foot. The property is well taken care of inside and out. Our studio had it all including a small kitchen. You can't go wrong booking here.

Friendly and helpful staff. Everything was sterilized and clean when we arrived including the dishes still in a hot dishwasher. Remotes in plastic cases. Only downside is no housekeeping but there is a vacuum and you can request towels, coffee, etc. from the front desk. Best access to the beach, park and restaurant.

Misleading
The room was not as we believed per the listing. We checked in, took one look and asked to be released from our 4 day reservation. Hotels kindly reached out to owner (timeshare) who said ‘sorry no refund’ even though we had no Opportunity to see the unit before check in when we could have gotten out with just 1 day charge. After talking to owner directly (thank you Hotels) he agreed to a charge of 2 nights. Because it is a time share we could not even pay to upgrade to a better room (not on the street and looking at a garbage enclosure and parking lot). We will stick to true hotels from now on.

Awesome location
Wave Crest Resort couldn't have a better location! It's perched on the cliffs above the beach with beautiful views. It is an older resort, but very well maintained. The staff is friendly, helpful, and knows the area very well. Great restaurants and other amenities are within easy walking distance. If you need groceries, they are a short 5 minute drive. One caveat, many of the rooms don't have air conditioning, so be aware during San Diego's hottest months. Overall, a very nice relaxing place to stay!

Lovely seaside escape
What a beautiful spot! We stayed in a studio room for one night and next time will definitely stay longer. The pool and bbq area is right on the water and steps from a grassy park. Not a far walk to the beach. The room was very cozy and would be comfortable for an extended stay. Right in the heart of Del Mar and within walking distance to everything.
