Best staff ever! So helpful, flexible, considerate and devoted to giving the best service they can. The location was unmatched! Walking distance to all the best cafes, restaurants, shops and beaches. Good shower, comfy bed, good a/c (cools well and not noisy). Best value for money in the entire area.

I’ve never wanted to rate a rental property 6 stars, but this one deserves it! This house had everything. The beds were super comfortable, there were tons of extra blankets and pillows. The kitchen was so well appointed, I could’ve thrown a dinner party, complete with charcuterie board. The outside dining and living spaces basically doubled your square footage. There were just so many thoughtful touches throughout the house that made it so comfortable.

    Our third family trip to Encinitas, a charming beach town, was a delightful experience. Its quiet and walkable streets made it an ideal destination for a family vacation. We cycled along Neptun Avenue and relaxed on the beach near the Stone Steps. The town boasts a variety of great restaurants and coffee shops. We highly recommend Atelier-Mannana and Leu Leu, but be sure to book in advance! Herb and Sea is another must-try.

    I love everything about Encinitas.

    I love everything about Encinitas. It is one of the spots where you can go and feel like a local even if your not. I have stayed at the 12 Senses Retreat which was super cool with their nature themed rooms and the amazing hostess. And it is just up the road from Swammi's Beach and the Self Relization Center, which is gorgeous. I have stayed at Brisas Pacific Hotel which was super affordable and a few minutes walk to the beach. You can pretty much walk everywhere in Encinitas. I plan to move there myself soon :)

    Charming surf town.

    Charming surf town. We enjoyed walking the beach, watching the local surfers and the sunset from the bluffs. Plenty of shopping and restaurants all within walking distance. Bigger box type stores for groceries, etc within about a 10 minute drive. Traffic was not bad. We visited San Diego Botanical Garden and highly recommend.

    I grew up in north county and Encinitas was a regular stomping ground. Great restaurants and shopping and it offers a train stop that will get you to/from union station in San Diego where you can catch an Uber or bus to the airport while enjoying breathtaking views!

    Unfortunately, we had a very busy wedding weekend and didn't have much time for learning more about the city of Encinitas. We enjoyed the places we visited (Encinitas Cafe for breakfast and the Solterra Winery for the rehearsal dinner). Food and ambiance was great. Would love to go back and enjoy more of the city.

    The room had open windows so it didn’t smell bad like the other hotels. Room equipment was pretty dated but still works. Room wasn’t sparkling clean but I used flip flops to shower, my own towels and bed liner so I was just fine.
