The Solana Beach Train station is an easy walk away. During the Del Mar Races, bus transportation is provided from this station directly to the race track or you can walk the one-mile along the lovely coastal train walk. Uber and Lyft are also great options for those times when you just don't want to drive. This home is only rented in July when the owners are traveling. Shaz works very hard to get the house ready in June so it feels like a serene retreat for our July guests. The pool is not heated, but is plenty warm for swimming in July .
