About this property

Private Cottage! Easy Walk Through The Park To Encinitas And Moonlight Beach.

  • Relax and unwind in this fully updated 1940’s beach cottage just two blocks east of historic highway 101. We’ve tried to think of all the little details that make for a perfect stay from the super quiet Fujitsu heating and cooling unit, to a six port USB charging station for your electronics, a blue tooth speaker, and quality hangers in the two closets. You will appreciate the California king bed, two luggage racks, ceiling fans, armoire, sectional sofa, 55 inch Roku TV in the great room and and Samsung TV in the bedroom. Access your Netflix and other subscription services. The kitchen has a 13.9 CF refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, a two burner induction cook-top, compact dishwasher, deep stainless steel sink, toaster oven with convection bake, a microwave, and a coffee maker. The house water is filtered and tastes great. You’re an easy 10-20 minute walk to top notch coffee houses, the great shopping, and fantastic dining in historic Encinitas. Enchanting Moonlight Beach is close as well and we provide the beach chairs, umbrella, towels, cooler and a wagon to haul it all. Come home to an outdoor shower to remove the sand and salt. Bring your tennis or pickleball rackets as there are public courts 1 minute away.
    Only 10 minutes from the Coaster station, you can leave your car at home. Ride the Coaster to San Diego or get on the Amtrak for a trip to LA and beyond. If you drive, we have off street parking for your vehicle.

We absolutely adored our stay here! The proximity to the beach, shops, and restaurants was ideal. They also allowed us to check in early which was so convenient. Will stay here in the future if we ever find ourselves in the area again!

I rented this cottage for my 82-year-old parents. Although it is technically not “ADA accessible” it was very comfortable and safe for them. The cottage is quaint, very clean and very private. They asked that the next time they come visit we rent it for them again. Tom was overly easy to work with and is a great person. We will definitely rent this again!

It is rare that a rental out does its listing info. This casita (which is pretty spacious by my casita standards) was perfect in all ways. Private, beautifully decorated, amenities galore, ideally adjacent to Cottonwood Creak Park and only a short walk to Moonlight Beach and downtown Encinitas. The hosts were responsive and generous. If we ever get the opportunity to return to the area, we hope to stay there again (and again)!

We enjoyed our privacy, but found Tom to be both attentive and available. The home was immaculate with all that we needed. The neighborhood is convenient to the beach, and the casita is surrounded by an abundance of birds and tropical plants. An authentic California experience!

Tom the host is great. The place was so perfect for us. Well equipped with all you need for a relaxing stay and the beach. The outside spaces are great. The street is a dead end so there is little traffic. It’s located right next to the very nice Cottonwood Creek Park. It’s easy to walk to downtown and the beach by just cutting through the park - a nice walk.

We had a fantastic experience! Tom was amazing. Our flight arrived in the morning and Tom had text me the day before our arrival to let me know we could check in early, giving us what felt like a whole extra day. The property was just as shown, very cute and GREAT location. It took us about ten minutes to walk to the beach.The beach accessories were a big bonus. We were amazed with how clean everything was. That’s hard to do with sand, but they do! Would absolutely recommend and stay here again.
