My son and I had a wonderful visit. The house is convenient to everything in Encinitas. We biked a lot and felt safe doing so. The house comes with beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers so it makes for an easy beach vacation. The bed is very comfortable- we slept great! Warren is responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend this VRBO and can’t wait to come back!

Everything about the stay and the unit was great. Nice to have parking, and a great tv with YouTube with subscription. The location is perfect. Everything coastal in Encinitas is walkable. Loved this spot and will come back. The only minus is the bed is soft and broken down a bit from people sitting on the side of the bed.

Renters have told me bed is very good, but will keep monitoring. Fully understand that having a comfortable bed is very important to renters and will quickly replace when needed. It is only a few years old and not low end.

This place was a perfect get-away spot for us. The short walk to the beach and to numerous restaurants meant that we could leave the car parked for most of our vacation. It’s a beautiful spot in a safe and friendly neighborhood. Clean and well equipped. Great hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Warren Goldberg

Host profile image

This rental is attached to my house, and is offered as a rental when I don't have guests. Thus, I maintain it as my house, not a rental. I have lived in the house for over 35 years and love Encinitas. My wife and I grew up back in NY/NJ. I graduated from Arizona State University, and really try to make sure that renters are happy.

Why they chose this property

Encinitas has a small beach town atmosphere, people are very friendly, and it has the best beach around. The rental unit is very private with its own entrance and typically I don't see our renters for days on end. But if you need something..I am close.

What makes this property unique

Close to moonlight beach, private backyard, and clean
