Had a great stay in Encinitas! This location was so convenient for us close to everything including the wedding we were attending at the botanical garden. Check in and check out were a breeze and communication with the host was easy! Our dog loved the fenced in backyard and patio! Highly recommend, thanks for having us!

Perfect stay - couldn't be better
The house was perfect for our few nights. It was clean and ideally situated to see everything San Diego offers. We traveled with a dog and fenced front and back yards made it perfect for letting her explore without worry of getting in the street. The only thing we ran into (compliments of two teenage girls in our traveling party) is that there is 1 bathroom plus an outdoor shower. We worked with it and had a fabulous stay!

Perfect spot for a family with kids
This spot is amazing! We loved eating our meals in the front yard in the shade of the palm trees. The kids loved the double bunk beds in the kids room and the grassy backyard. The outdoor shower was lovely. Courtney was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

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!!

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.
