Lounge in one of the private outdoor nooks and listen to the whisper of the palms. The rest we'll leave to your imagination as Ernest would do. Arriving at your cottage in the Quiet palm-laden neighborhood, you will find your Nostalgic hideaway. We now have air conditioning and central heat
Parking for 2 cars in driveway.
You'll be greeted by carpets of green, pretty garden areas, assorted fruit trees: onward into a large encircled patio and into your private domain.

A nostalgic, cozy 3 bedroom cottage 2 blocks from beautiful Moonlight Beach and the quaint beach town of Encinitas, California. Myriad activities and events offer a super time for everyone. Located between Del Mar and Oceanside. Enjoy the outside bath. On your Hemingway safari gather, stretch out, see the sunrise from one of the two cozy decks off the dining room or the bedroom.

About the host

Hosted by Galyn Thompson

Host profile image
It was love at first sight! All three generations of our family agreed that this cottage was perfect for not just our family but others coming to this wonderful vacation spot. The kids run down to the beach barefoot with surf boards or boogie boards to ride the waves and swim. The rest of the family joins in and soaks up the carefree atmosphere of the beach community with friends and family. Memories are being created every day.
We want to share the fun with everyone and our cottage reflects how much we take pride in our special spot!
