The owner, Matt, greeted us at the house and was so helpful in giving us pointers on the house and places to visit and eat. The layout of the house was perfect for being all together as well as having space to enjoy quiet time. We loved Encinitas small town feel and how kind everyone was. The only thing that I would add is the secondary bedroom upstairs needs a fan for air circulation. We definitely will go back!

We stayed here for five days with friends and it was perfect. The house overlooks the ocean and is a one minute walk to the beach access. The beach is public but enclosed by rocks so is smaller and much less crowded. We were there over the 4th and while we saw other beaches that were packed ours never was. It’s a ten ish minute walk to the Main Street of Encinitas with shops and restaurants and easy access to the buses and rail. There was plenty of space for our group and you can’t beat the sound of the waves crashing all day and night. A very relaxing vacation for us all and Matt was absolutely wonderful. We can’t wait to go back!

Joy personified! What a gorgeous place to love and live with family - to hear the ocean waves as you sleep and wake - to feel the clear clean ocean air on your face like medicine to your lungs and a balm to your mind. Perfect place for a large family - all the accouterments needed to prepare meals (except for cookie sheets) and plenty of room to spread out and enjoy each other - games at the big round table - comfortable beds and linens - plenty of towels for the bath and beach - any toy or beach accessory you want or need - and a short walk to cute town of Encinitas and close enough to San Diego to enjoy the zoo and the parks or museums at Balboa Park. Highly recommend.

This beach house was exactly what our multigenerational family needed for a fun-filled vacation. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning ocean views and the convenient access to the beach just steps away from the front door.
The house itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, providing plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. The grandparents enjoyed sunsets on the ocean view patio, while the teens in our group particularly loved the surf-themed decor and the easy access to some of the best surf breaks in the area. Meanwhile, the younger kids had a blast playing in the sand and splashing in the waves.
The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to cook family meals, and we enjoyed many evenings gathered around the dining table playing games and enjoying home cooked meals.
The town is quick walk north of the home and had everything you could want from the fresh made donuts at Broad Street, killer coffee at Surfdog's Java Hut, and amazing ice cream at JoJo's Ice Cream. Plenty of mom and pop shopping, surf shops, and great restaurants for nights out.
Matt, the owner is amazing and super chill too!
Can't wait to go back soon!

7 of us, 23 to 87, thoroughly enjoyed our week together; the spacious house gave us each our comfy nest for sleeping. Matt was immediately responsive to any questions. The view is unsurpassed--coastline, waves & surfers. The area offered us easy access to groceries and restaurants and the drive to San Diego to activities and airport was only 1/2 hr. Memories are made of this!

You can’t beat this location overlooking cliffs and ocean, with a short walk to beach access and the town shopping. The sleeping breeze was spectacular, homey cozy decor, interesting room layout for family to spread out! Kitchen was adequate for Thanksgiving dinner. The showers were powerfull!! If you are a sanitation freak you will appreciate the scented sheets etc. Lits of Puzzles games etc. It was very hard to leave this place.

Glorious Oceanfront Encinitas
What a wonderful, family friendly home overlooking Swami's Beach in Encinitas. The home was very comfortable and well equipped for our entire family of 10 ranging in age from infant to 75 years. Glorious unobstructed views down to the beach and out to the horizon with beautiful sunsets. We spotted pods of dolphin, flocks of pelican, and resident red-tail hawk and osprey. Swami's is a short walk and stair climb down to the beach which is perfect for surfing, buggy-boarding, swimming, and lounging. The house provides ample sand chairs, umbrellas, buggy-boards, surf boards, coolers, etc. -- everything we needed and more. Downtown Encinitas is a short walk away and has a wide variety of good restaurants and shops. Our host Matt was very gracious and easy to communicate with. This is a 5-star property on a prime oceanfront location. Highly recommended!

Amazing views with everything you need... right on Pacific Ocean:)
The Owner, Matt Perkins, was great and an excellent host. He has everything you need to enjoy staying right above the beach. Short walk to stairs, we carried his boogey boards, chairs and umbrellas down to Swami’s beach below. None of us were brave enough to try his surf boards…

This house is amazing!
We had a wonderful time at this property. The views of the ocean are incredible, we spent hours on the deck watching surfers and dolphins. We walked on the beach, strolled through the meditation gardens at the Self Realization Fellowship, and walked down the main Encinitas strip. The house is well equipped, the beds are comfortable, and there is an assortment of beach and sports equipment in the garage. We had everything we needed! Communication with the host was prompt and easy.

Classy & Comfortable with Ouutstanding Views
The House is beautifully situated above the cliffs at Cardiff by the Sea. There are views for miles north, south, and west over the ocean. Access to the beach is a short walk followed by a pretty long flight of stairs, or a longer walk in a ramp.
The house itself is very comfortable and functional. The rooms are separated nicely to create privacy for each guest. The kitchen as well appointed and easy to use. The appliances are relatively new and the double set of ovens is especially helpful. There’s a nice barbecue and fire pit which were great for our family.
Matt, the owner was very attentative and helpful.

Fantastic home overlooking Swami Beach!
Our family of ten, 8 adults and 2 grandsons, enjoyed 5 wonderful days at this fantastic beach home overlooking Swami Beach. The owner, Matt, was friendly and welcoming. He gave us full use of his beach toys, towels, gear, as well as the grill and fire pit. The house was very comfortable and oriented to the stunning ocean views. The beautiful kitchen was fully stocked. We ate in every night because we didn't want to miss the gorgeous sunsets! Encinitas is a cute town and an easy, short walk away. The beach access is just steps away. We couldn't have found a more perfect place to stay and thoroughly enjoyed our vacation! Thank you Matt!

Good house for a family vacation
The house is a great layout and has everything you need However it needs an electrical outlet in the hall bath upstairs, some of the mattresses need to be replaced and air conditioning needs to be added to justify this price.
