This a fantastic location - it’s easy to walk to many popular shops, restaurants, ocean view. It’s an easy walk to the Leucadia Farmer’s Market on Sundays. The house has all you need with excellent outdoor space. It’s a surprisingly quiet neighborhood. We brought our dog and took her everywhere with us - except the Encinitas beaches. No dogs there. It’s a short drive south to Cardiff State Beach where dogs on leash are welcome. Our host, Galyn, responded quickly and made our visit enjoyable and effortless.

We absolutely loved our stay at this charming beach cottage in Encinitas! The location is perfect—peaceful yet just a short walk to the beach, with shops and great restaurants nearby. The cottage itself is cozy and comfortable, ideal for a relaxing getaway. The inviting yard was a wonderful spot to enjoy morning coffee or evening dinner, adding to the laid-back beach vibe. Our host was incredibly friendly and communicative, making check-in and our entire stay seamless and welcoming. Truly a hidden gem—we can’t wait to return for another great stay!

Great location in a perfect beach town!

Galyn's house is nothing fancy, but it has most everything you need and most of all, SoCal's perfect beach location. Galyn is a great guy and is attentive to his guests' every need. Highly recommended.

Great property and property manager

This was the ideal location for the three of us. Located walking distance to the beach and close to a lot of coffee shops and eateries. The property manager was super responsive to questions and any issues. Thoroughly enjoyed staying here and having a responsive owner.

Great place and great location

My family of four stayed here for the weekend and it was exactly what we needed. We have a 2 and 3 year old, and both loved the house and slept great. My 3 year old even cried when we got home and said “I want to go back to the yellow home.” Next time we’re vacation in the SD area, we’ll most likely look to see if this is available.

Great Beach Cottage!

The cottage is very well equipped, comfy beds, was very clean, and had everything you need to cook, and a nice family room area. Located in a very quite, nice neighborhood and walking distance to some nice restuarants and coffee houses. Overall a very nice place for a beach town getaway!! Oh and the cottage works well for dogs with a nice patio/backyard that is fully enclosed so you can allow your pups to roam a bit.

Perfect spot

Awesome location to go to the beaches and into town. The place is nicely furnished and has a big outdoor area to hang out, plus an essential outdoor shower to rinse sand off before entering the house. Surfboard and bikes to borrow made this a super vacation. Thanks!

Perfect beach house in Encinitas

This home has a perfect location in a quiet neighborhood. Easy walk to the beach and a coffee shop. The house is equipped with everything you could need. The host is awesome, the dryer stopped working and he had it fixed within a few minutes of me texting him.

Perfect VRBO

I can not say enough wonderful things about this house. Our family agreed that the only thing we did not like is that we had to leave. It had everything we wanted (including boogie boards, beach chairs/umbrellas, sand toys) an I appreciate not needing to bring or buy those items. We’ll be back for sure.

Wonderful Encinitas beach house!

We always love Encinitas and this house was perfect- quiet (very little train noise!), heat pump, front private patio, garage with 3 bikes to use (owner even fixed a flat tire so I could use it), close to Stone Steps to get down to beach, close to Pannikin Coffee, pickleball courts and great great ice cream! We’re already booking for next year!

Great location, great hosts, great stay!

This property was perfect for our visit. Because we were arriving after dark, the host left lights on for us and provided info on activities that were tailored to us. Dog food and water bowls were provided, as well as a dog bed. The yard was perfect for enjoying the weather and was safe for our dog. The cottage furnishings were comfortable. Highly recommend!
