Host profile image
A native Southern California coastal resident for 40+ years! I have spent the past 30 years in North San Diego County enjoying the coastal community and environment as I will always be drawn to a western sunset! I have a 20+ year commercial real estate background with broad geographic coverage with a Global firm before starting my own firm in 2011, Commercial West Realty Advisors. Love traveling and using VRBO/Homeaway properties all over! Spend lots of time in Baja enjoying the rugged country it offers In close proximity to San Diego. Trail running in local mountains occupies much of my time as well. Just love that southern CA lifestyle so much....

Why they chose this property

Encinitas is perfectly located and yet a relaxed beach town... Coastal and ocean access for beach and surfing is awesome, trails for running, and close walking proximity to both downtown Encinitas makes the location a big win!! Love the quiet neighborhood full of unique and eclectic homes dates back to the 30's! Large lot sizes allow for more than typical land per house in comparison to any other coastal community!

What makes this property unique

Other than all the reviewed amenities and features, we are happy to share the PBC for your use and thus access to Coastal Encinitas. Feel right at home in our wonderful community and Enjoy your visit to the Encinitas & its California Coast as a local!
