Welcome to Alexander's Cove, a beloved beach cottage held by the same family since the 1960s and a thriving, top-rated short-term rental for years. Set inside the coveted, gated Del Mar community on 1/3+ acre, this delightful waterfront retreat faces southwest for sunsets you simply must see to believe.
