Clean, cozy spot in excellent location
The host was very welcoming and easy to work with. The house was spotless and very well-appointed. We used the kitchen quite a bit during our 8 day stay and had everything we needed. Fenced front and back yard were perfect for our fur babies. Great place and great stay!!

Great location
The property is at a very convenient location. The beds are very comfortable. Loved the large yard for our small dogs to roam. The only negative is no A/C but there are several fans available for use. Overall, very good experience.

Comfy Getaway
Quick drive to the beach, clean, comfortable, has all the kitchen, bath and other essentials needed. Appreciated the exterior shower after time at the beach. Could use a couple stronger fans for the days the ocean breezes are not as strong and a screen door for the front to allow front door to stay open without letting in flies or other insects. (Just a suggestion for the owners)
Would highly recommend and would stay there again.

Perfect spot
This was exactly what I was looking for. There were 6 of us, 3 adults and 3 kids(8,11,14). We didn’t feel jammed in or not having space. The backyard was great and gave my kids somewhere to get the energy out. Outdoor shower was amazing. Being able to go straight around back and get all cleaned up after the beach is so nice! Definitely would recommend and stay again.

Nice quiet base to enjoy Encinitas and the surrounding area
Great property! We arrived and found it exactly as described. Enough supplies in the kitchen and bathroom for a family. Beds on the soft side but comfortable.
Good size front and back fully-enclosed yards for your pets.
Quiet side street with easy access to city center and I5. Close to Botanical Garden and hiking trails.
Only minor issues were with a bent sliding screen door frame that doesn't close well and dirty windows. Nothing critical.
Would stay again.

Annual Beach Trip
We absolutely loved this house! Everything from the decor to the layout of the house was perfect for our family. The two queen bedrooms are very comfortable. Our kids are older and didn’t find the comfort of the beds in the third room as nice as the others. If you have younger children they’d be just fine! The location is excellent which made it easy to get to our favorite beaches and restaurants. Courtney is super friendly and easy to get in touch with.

Encinitas get away
This was a perfect spot for me and my family to meet for a fun weekend. It had everything we needed and a lovely front patio and rear yard for my son’s dog.
We rented E-bikes from Cal Coast Adventures, who delivered them right to our door. The location was bike-able to all the places downtown that we wanted to go. Would definitely stay here again.
