The place was very clean upon arrival. It actually had more space than we thought from the pictures. The location itself was well worth it as it was a block from the beach. We had a great time and great stay. We would definitely stay at this property again!

We booked this home for our family of 6 adults and 4 children. This house was perfect for us! Beautiful and spacious! The kitchen is huge and well appointed. The downstairs has a fantastic set up for a family with kids with the living area, kitchenette, double showers and water closets in one bathroom. The outdoor shower is wonderful bonus...large, clean and right outside the bathroom door. The location and proximity to the beach and playground, the coaster and coffee shops and restaurants is great! We had a wonderful stay! The only thing I would suggest is that they provide more towels fort the bathrooms (wash, hand and bath). There was literally only one bath towel per person and no washcloths. However, they did provide beach towels, but we brought our own.

Awesome location, awesome house

We rented out the entire house (it looks like maybe the intent is just to rent out the bottom floor at times) and it worked out great for our group. A three minute walk to the beach, convenient parking, a gorgeous house with surfing themes throughout, plenty of beach toys and accessories... what more could you need for a great vacation??

Family Beach Trip

Excellent location. Walking distance to Moonlight Beach and Cali Cream! The beach supplies made our trip more enjoyable because umbrellas are hard to travel with when flying in. The home was clean and bathrooms well stocked with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. When the day at the beach was wrapped up we unwind playing pool. Great family trip!

Family Staycation in Encinitas

Great house and location. ~15 minute drive from Legoland. Easy, one block walk to the beach. Short walk to downtown Encinitas which has all the food, drink, and shopping that one could desire. Back door opens to an alleyway that is closed off on one side. Great for our 3 year old to ride bike and scooter. Also made beach access a breeze. We kept boards on the side yard. House and shower to rinse off. Garage has plenty of gear: sand toys, lots of chairs, several boogie boards, and a few surfboards (thrusters 5-7’ and a couple foam tops). Upstairs kitchen is expansive and a large table for family meals. Prop manager was easy to work with. I highly recommend this place.

Amazing Place!

This property is fantastic! We’ve stayed at a lot of places and this is one of our favorites. The property was clean and had everything we needed. The layout is awesome. The upstairs has a couple bedrooms with a main kitchen/family room that opens to great outdoor space. The downstairs has a great set up that becomes essentially a private unit when the door is shut, which includes a pool table, kitchenette, living room, bedrooms, etc. We were a family of 4 and had more than enough room. Our teenagers stayed in the downstairs and we stayed upstairs. There’s access to outside from many points so coming from the beach you can use the outdoor (heated) shower or enter directly right into an inside bathroom This place is perfect for 1 large family or 2 families.The location is great also. From the top deck you can see a sliver of the ocean / moonlight beach…but even better the beach is a 2 min walk down the hill and right at your fingertips.It’s also a very easy 10-15 min walk to the heart of downtown Encinitas. You could easily drive also, but we thought staying by the ocean was much better than staying closer to downtown…The host communicated really well and provided clear details and instructions. We had a great time and would live in this house full time if we could!

It’s wonderful knowing your family had plenty of space to relax, and that the upstairs and downstairs areas worked so well for both the adults and teens. We love that you made use of the outdoor shower and appreciated the easy access from the beach and into the home. The location really is a gem, and we're glad you enjoyed being just a short walk from Moonlight Beach and downtown Encinitas. It truly means a lot that this is one of your favorite stays — we’d be honored to host you again at this home or any of our 70 coastal properties.
