Description
A fire feature can look like an add-on or like it was always part of the design. The Outdoor Plus Del Mar 48" is firmly the latter — a sleek, rectangular GFRC concrete fire pit with the clean, low silhouette of high-end architectural hardscape rather than a bulky bolt-on.
Hand-poured and finished in the USA, the Del Mar pairs the cast-stone look of concrete with real weather resistance, in a coastal-modern form that styles effortlessly against any outdoor aesthetic. Choose from 18-plus concrete finishes, five ignition systems, and — now — either natural gas or liquid propane.
For a short-term rental, that combination of design and flexibility is the draw. A fire pit this refined elevates the whole outdoor space in listing photos, while the fuel and finish options mean it drops cleanly into your property exactly as it's set up.
Understated, durable, and built to look intentional — the Del Mar is the kind of quiet upgrade that makes guests notice a patio was designed, not just furnished.
A Rectangular GFRC Concrete Fire Pit Built for Coastal-Modern Patios
The Del Mar's material and shape are what set it apart from the round metal fire features crowding most listings. It's concrete, it's rectangular, and it's built to read as part of the architecture.
Why Handmade GFRC Outperforms Ordinary Cast Concrete
Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete gives the Del Mar the look of cast stone with meaningfully more strength and weather resistance than standard concrete. That means the refined, high-end appearance holds up to real outdoor exposure rather than cracking or degrading over a season or two.
For a rental, that durability protects both the look and the investment. A fire feature used constantly and cleaned quickly between turnovers needs to stay presentable, and GFRC is engineered to do exactly that.
Because each unit is hand-poured, subtle variations in color and texture are normal and expected. That's the signature of a genuinely handmade piece rather than a mass-produced casting.
A Low, Architectural Silhouette That Anchors Without Crowding
The Del Mar's low, rectangular profile is inspired by California-coast design — a horizontal form that grounds a space instead of dominating it. It anchors a seating arrangement while keeping sightlines open across the patio, pool deck, or rooftop lounge.
That restraint is what makes it so easy to style. The clean lines sit comfortably against modern, transitional, or coastal furniture without fighting the rest of your outdoor design.
In listing photos, that cohesion reads as intentional design. A space that looks composed rather than cluttered is a space that photographs like a premium stay.
Now Configurable in Natural Gas or Liquid Propane
The Del Mar is built to fit your property's existing setup rather than force a workaround. You now choose the fuel type at checkout — natural gas or liquid propane — alongside your ignition system.
Matching the Fuel Type to Your Property's Setup
The right fuel comes down to how your property is plumbed and where you want the fire pit to live. Natural gas connects to a dedicated line for always-on, refill-free performance, ideal for a fixed patio location where a line is already run or easily added.
Liquid propane, by contrast, frees you from a gas line entirely. It's the flexible choice for decks, rooftops, and spaces where running a line isn't practical, letting you place the Del Mar where it works best for the layout.
Either way, you get the same clean, consistent flame and the same refined concrete centerpiece. The only decision is which fuel suits your property — and now that choice is yours to make.
Five Ignition Systems for Effortless Guest Operation
Ignition choice shapes how simple the fire pit is for guests to run unsupervised. Options range from straightforward Match Lit to the push-button ease of Low Voltage Electronic and Plug & Play, with certified systems in between.
For a self-check-in rental, an easier ignition means fewer late-night "how does this work?" messages and a smoother guest experience. Match Lit with Flame Sense carries LC certification, while the Low Voltage Electronic and Plug & Play systems are CSA certified — useful documentation where local code applies.
Because certification and components tie to your specific ignition selection, confirm the exact system before ordering. It's a quick check that keeps a permitted install clean.
18+ Concrete Finishes to Match Any Outdoor Aesthetic
The Del Mar's finish palette is one of its biggest advantages for design-conscious hosts. With more than 18 concrete colors, the fire pit becomes a coordinated part of your outdoor scheme rather than a mismatched accessory.
Coordinating the Del Mar With Your Hardscape and Furniture
A deep finish range lets you tie the fire pit directly to your existing hardscape, decking, and furniture. Matching the concrete to your palette is what makes an outdoor space read as deliberately designed rather than assembled piece by piece.
That cohesion pays off directly in your listing gallery. A patio where every element belongs together photographs as a higher-end, more considered space — the kind that justifies a premium nightly rate.
From soft neutrals to richer tones, there's a finish to suit coastal, modern, and transitional looks alike. The Del Mar adapts to your property's style instead of dictating it.
Requesting a Physical Sample Before You Order
Screens and lighting can shift how a concrete color reads, and because each unit is handmade, slight finish variations are normal. For a purchase at this level, seeing the finish in person is worth the small extra step.
We strongly recommend requesting a physical color sample before ordering to confirm the shade in your actual environment. It's the surest way to land the exact look you're after and protect the cohesive palette your listing depends on.
A little diligence up front avoids a mismatch you'd have to live with. On a made-to-order piece, getting the finish right the first time matters.
Who This Is For (and Who It's Not)
This fire pit is perfect if you:
✔ Want a design-forward concrete centerpiece that reads as high-end hardscape, not an add-on
✔ Need the flexibility to run on either natural gas or liquid propane, matched to your property
✔ Want to coordinate the finish precisely with your existing outdoor palette
✔ Are looking for a durable, photograph-ready feature that lifts your listing and nightly rate
This may not be right if you:
✖ Prefer a tall, round, or sculptural fire bowl over a low, rectangular profile
✖ Want a plug-in, drop-in product with no professional installation
✖ Need it in hand immediately, or expect a return option — every unit is made to order and non-returnable
What Owning This Looks Like
Picture a guest's first evening on the patio — the sun's dropping, the Del Mar's low flame catches the coastal-toned concrete, and the whole space suddenly looks less like a rental and more like a design magazine spread. That's the moment a booking starts becoming a five-star review.
Here's where the Del Mar earns its keep:
- The understated hero shot that makes your outdoor listing photos look professionally styled
- A coordinated centerpiece that ties your hardscape, furniture, and décor together
- A flexible feature that fits any property, whether it runs on natural gas or propane
- A durable, handcrafted piece that keeps performing turnover after turnover
A fire pit this refined doesn't shout for attention — it quietly makes the entire space look more expensive, and that's exactly what turns a browser into a booking.
