Overview
Do you love the relaxed SoCal coastal scene? It’s a world and culture unto itself. Imagine living a few blocks from the ocean, near the old village of Del Mar and its celebrated racetrack— not to mention Torrey Pines State Park further south. You’re in walking distance to Cedros Design District— a kaleidoscope of eclectic shops, unique eateries and a famed entertainment venue. The charming Spanish style architecture has its own sunny disposition— with the Bistro Bar providing a lively social hub for residents. Our beach shuttle runs 5 days a week, and if the need arises, UCSD and Scripps Medical Centers are less than 5 miles away. La Vida Del Mar means ‘the life by the sea’— and this resort-like setting places a premium on enjoyment and vitality, with abundant amenities and programs, lively residents and lots to look forward to each day. It’s an inspired take on abundant living. Take it all in.

Tour was great by Adrienne. My parents loved the place. Met a bunch of residents that seemed very happy living there. Food was really good with a very diverse menu. Place seemed upbeat compared to others we toured. My parents loved put a deposit down!!

We went for an informational tour as a preliminary step for future needs. La Vida Del Mar was all about the people. I trust the medical care would be equally impressive but you don't really know about that until you are in need or dig deeper talking w residents. We loved the welcoming friendly vibe but were not happy with the condition of the community as a whole. It is dated and run down - it was unkept and unclean feeling - they could really benefit from an investment in a facelift of sorts. Cosmetically a 2 star - the friendly and beautiful people and staff were 5 star. Living quarters were a 2-3 star. Overall 3 stars. - would love to see a refreshed and more maintained La Vida Del Mar in the future :)

We shared a lovely experience at La Vida Del Mar. Every member of the staff was kind and considerate. We toured the beautiful architecture of the building and individual rooms. We were given an excellent lunch in the exquisite dining room. We will consider a residence there. Even the location so close to the beach is ideal. Thank you Adrienne and Scottie. We will see you soon.

Vibrant senior community. Lots of active options and beautiful outdoor areas. Rooms are clean and light. Staff is friendly and connecting. The food options looked healthy and carried. The interior common areas are darker that I like, I’d like it if the common area carpet was newer and lighter colored. Overall seems like a great option for active seniors!
