I highly recommend this property. If anything, it was nicer than advertised. It is a very comfortable home, tastefully decorated. The location was very convenient. We did a lot of cooking, and the kitchen was well-stocked and easy to work in. All in all, we had a great experience here, and we would be happy to stay here again!

Fun Get Away to Cardiff

The property was beautiful with lots of space. It is in a nice neighborhood with farms stands on Saturday for fresh veggies and bread. Great walking paths along the ocean and fun restaurants nearby. The grocery store was also close for picking up essentials and the owners were super accommodating.

Wonderful Property!

We had our family gathering in this home. What a wonderful home to host a family! Lots of space, 2 yards to play/sit in, a nice outbuilding/ADU that had all its own facilities, and everything was provided in the home we needed (and for the nearby beaches!). Nice neighborhood, and great access to both Swami beach and Moonlight Beach, and in-between the towns of Encinitas and Cardiff, so easy access to restaurants, etc. A great home at a great value!!

House is even better than the pictures

Really great house with a great yard. The main house has great Master, plus 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the carriage house has a queen and two bunk beds downstairs with a full bath. We never needed the upstairs of the carriage house. Lots of neat places to sit and talk. The front garden was a favorite. You DO need to drive to the beach because of the railroad tracks, but Cardiff, San Elijo, Swami’s, and Moonlight are all the same drive time (3min).

A very nice home for a large group. Several common indoor areas as well as outdoor areas. Some large enough for everyone, some perfect for a subset of the group. We were able to walk to the beach which is always a huge plus!

We had another fantastic weekend at the house in Encinitas. Owners are super responsive (and definitely have a meal at their 101 Diner). Weather wasn't very cooperative but we did get to eat al fresco at the patio table one night. Wonderful place, highly recommended.

Great stay in Encinitas

We had an excellent weekend stay at the house. It is very roomy, nicely maintained, and otherwise as advertised on the website. The hosts were super communicative. Both Swami's and downtown Encinitas are a 15-20 minute walk. Highly recommended!

Spacious & comfortable home in beautiful Encinitas!

Our stay was truly wonderful. The home was spacious, the yard was beautiful, and the quaint downtown of Encinitas was less than a 10 minute walk away. My only suggestion would be to add a mini bar area and have more kitchen utensils for cooking, making cocktails, etc.

Well-Appointed Home

We really enjoyed staying in this very well-appointed home. It had everything you could want or need. It is obviously well-cared for. Our family enjoyed family meals indoors at the dining table and outdoors in the two seating areas. The fire pit was an unexpected bonus. Many perks in addition to the FABULOUS location!

Loved It!

Our stay was perfect. The property was amazing, and we couldn't have asked for a better location. It was close to the old downtown with wonderful dining and shopping choices. The local markets and beaches were only a minute away and it only took us 20 minutes to get to SeaWorld and to Balboa Park. The property itself was so spacious and beautiful. We cooked, BBQed, and played games as a family comfortably and had plenty of room. We also took advantage of all the outdoor seating and dining area. We had plenty of hot water and the outdoor shower even had warm water. I would highly recommend this place. Probably the best VRBO I have stayed at thus far.
