Encinitas Oceanfront Cottage!
My husband took our 2 teen daughters to Lynn’s place this past week for 4 nights. It was spectacular! The views are incredible, and the sunsets were unbelievable. We sat several nights on the deck and just watched all the people walking and enjoying the coastline with their adorable dogs! The cottage is fully stocked and adorably decorated. The beds are SO comfortable! We will definitely be back, Encinitas is the coolest spot and a great place to see and visit the San Diego area! Thank you Lynn!

Perfect little getaway
This is a charming little cottage, with beautiful views! It is on a busy road, but the view makes up for it. It was nice that we weren't far from coffee shops, shopping or restuarants!! We enjoyed our stay!!

Wonderful cottage
We had a very nice time at Lynn's home. The cottage is in the perfect location, equi-distant from dowtown Encinitas and Seaside Market in Cardiff. The paved trail is just out front of the house and allows easy walking, biking, running and peope watching. We enjoyed the beautiful ocean view, big deck, comfy beds and well appointed kitchen. Kit and Tyler live onsite in a home on the hill behind the cottage. They were super nice, helpful and inobtrusive hosts. We were traveling with two teens and two adults and the space was perfect. We hope to return soon!

Gorgeous beachview property
The house had one of the most amazing views I have ever seen and we absolutely loved getting to eat overlooking the ocean and watching the sun set into the sea. The house was extremely clean and well-maintained, Kit, Lynn and Tyler were extremely kind and welcoming, and it was convenient for restaurants, attractions and the beach. We loved our stay and would definitely come back in the future!!

Amazing Views!
We really enjoyed staying at this beach cottage! It had everything we needed, and we couldn't stop taking in the sweeping, picturesque views! The host was very responsive and provided several recommendations for restaurants and outings. Our son turned 17 on Easter this year, so we wanted something special for this rare occasion and for some family bonding time, and we certainly got it! Thank you to the hosts!

Location, location!
This house could not be in a better location. I live just down the street and I had friends visiting from out of town. They were able to fit in so many local activities that I wanted to share because the location is walking distance to everything I love. I read their suggestions on what to do around the area and even that was spot on (you never know with these things). You can tell they are true locals and know how to show their guests a good time. They are also great with communication and get back to you right away if you need anything. I will be keeping this house in mind for any future guests or even a staycation with the family!

Absolutely perfect!
I have brothers that live in Cardiff and was looking for a place to stay for a trip with my cousins that would be close to my family and a fun location. This cottage could not have been more perfect. The house was even nicer than we imagined, with artwork and tiles by the owner, as well as the most comfortable beds ever. We didn’t do much cooking but the kitchen was stocked with everything we could have needed and more. The outdoor deck spaces were superb. Sunsets were incredible. We walked the rail trail down to Seaside Market and up to Encinitas daily. Everything was easy start to finish with great communication with the owners, easy check in/check out. Perfectly clean. We really could not have imagined anything better and hope to return again!

Darling Beach Cottage
I live locally and was looking for a place for my out of town family to stay close to me. This darling beach cottage was perfect. It was clean, had multiple decks where you can enjoy the ocean view and was walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops. I would highly recommend staying here.
