Relax and unwind in this fully restored and updated 1940’s beach cottage just two blocks east of historic highway 101. We’ve tried to think of all the little details that make for a perfect stay from the super quiet Fujitsu heating and cooling unit, to a six port USB charging station for your electronics, a blue tooth speaker, and quality hangers in the two closets. You will appreciate the California king bed, two luggage racks, ceiling fans, armoire, sectional sofa, 55 inch Roku TV in the great room and and Samsung TV in the bedroom. Access your Netflix and other subscription services. The kitchen has a 13.9 CF refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, a two burner induction cook-top, compact dishwasher, deep stainless steel sink, toaster oven with convection bake, a microwave, and a coffee maker. You’re an easy 10-20 minute walk to top notch coffee houses, the great shopping, and fantastic dining in historic Encinitas. Enchanting Moonlight Beach is close as well and we provide the beach chairs, umbrella, towels, cooler and a wagon to haul it all. Come home to an outdoor shower to remove the sand and salt. Bring your tennis or pickleball rackets as there are public courts 1 minute away. Want a private room for yoga, meditation, painting or ?, then you’ll appreciate the detached120 SF studio that is reserved for our guests.

This is our second stay at the casita, and it’s still a wonderful place. Charming, well-decorated, well-equipped, and comfortable. In addition, it’s very well located within easy walking distance of a great beach, dining, a grocery store, etc. There is a separate detached little studio that is perfect for yoga or meditation. My wife and I highly recommend this property.

We stayed at the casita this past May and immediately scheduled a return trip. This past stay was no less of a wonderful experience. The cottage itself is well cared for and has many little touches that make us feel welcome. Looking forward to coming back soon!

We loved this little gem! My husband and I came to visit our daughter as we do 3 to 4 times a year. Never have we had such a great experience where we stayed before. This little house is so perfectly done. We had a private patio with fire pit, dining table and garden. We had absolutely everything inside also to make it feel like home. We loved walking to the park (almost next door!) we hope to stay here each time we come from now on. It was very close to our kids and grandkids. Tom and Peggy are great hosts!

VRBO should use this listing as a perfect example of how a VRBO should be run. The unit was clean, beautifully thought out, and organized with well written outlines of directions of appliances if needed. it was the perfect vacation home.

Wife and I could not have asked for a better location. The Casita was just what we hoped it would be. It was very clean and so well equipped. The owners take great pride in the property. Everything was so well cared and carefully thought out. We wanted for nothing. Beach chairs, coolers and everything to make a trip to the beach a breeze. Bed was very comfortable, bath was awesome. The outside patio, sitting area, was perfect for an evening cocktail or morning coffee. We had no problems whatsoever. Tom, the owner, lives right there and takes great pride in the property. We had no problems and I have to say, VRBO photos are excellent but really don't do justice to the property. The best equipped and clean property we've rented on VRBO. Thanks for the experience. Hope to return one day.

This was such a wonderful place for a spring break getaway for my son and me. The pictures and description of the property are accurate. What can't be described is the feeling of pure calm and serenity that is felt when you arrive to the property. Tom and Peggy have put a lot of thought into this property to make you feel at home. The house is nicely stocked with everything you would want and need. Lazy Acres is right around the corner for groceries. The property is nicely located for trips to San Diego and to the theme parks to the north. After a day of theme parks, it's nice to come back to a calm environment. I also recommend a trip to Oceanside to the California Museum of Surfing. In addition to being a warm and welcoming community, Encinitas is beautiful and very walkable. Even though Moonlight State Beach was closed, there are other nearby beaches and vista points to enjoy. I look forward to planning a future trip again. Thank you Tom and Peggy for creating this oasis! I miss it already!

We have used vacation rentals for years. The Casita is in our top 5! Peggy and Tom have thought of everything, including a big bottle of cold water that we were so grateful to find on arrival and , a big one in my book, 2, yes 2 luggage racks! The place is beautiful, immaculate and so very comfortable. The surrounding gardens are gorgeous and we were delighted to see humming birds right outside the window. We highly recommend this beautiful Casita!

Cottonwood Casita is perfectly located to enjoy the friendliness of North County. We entertained friends one evening and and appreciated the well-lit patio with furniture and gas fire pit. I was able to participate in zoom meditation meetings with my home sangha from the meditation/yoga building at the side of the patio. Very nice! And I really enjoyed meeting Tom and Peggy and will look forward to seeing them again.

Not only is the cleanest, loveliest, coziest, and best located abode I've rented, but the Cozens thought of everything I could possibly need for my stay. The beautiful park, just a stone's throw away, was inviting for walking and exploring, and the location is perfect for a stroll to the beach or downtown Encinitas. The outside of the casita was lovely and the surrounding plants attracted a wide range of butterflies and birds. This place is truly exceptional. I'll be back.

Where do I begin.....Thank you Tom & Peggy for allowing us to stay at your beautiful casita. It truly is a gem. We did not have to want for anything! Utterly spotless, so comfortable, quiet and very roomy with every attention to detail unsurpassed. The location is unmatched with a short walk thru the park down to Coast Hwy to a bevy of restaurants and the beach. We surely hated to leave and we will be booking again for next year!! To all reading the reviews, If your travels bring you to Encinitas, look no further. Thank you again, The Eaton's Tucson, Az

We absolutely loved our stay! The casita is adorable and the location is so peaceful and quiet. We loved hanging out on the patio and going to the park daily. The succulent garden is an added bonus to the ambiance of it. The beach is a 5 min drive and we were able to see dolphins which was so cool! The owners were wonderful and so kind and checked in on us to ensure we were having a good stay. We will definitely be back!

The description of this property is spot on. The owners are spot on. The thoughtfulness is extraordinary. The cleanliness was phenomenal. If you don’t stay here, you’re missing out on a superb location. Steps from a lovely park and a few blocks from the effervescent downtown of Encinitas and the wonderful Moonlight Beach. The property has two comfortable outdoor areas, lovely cross breezes with the windows or doors open, and an overall extremely peaceful ambiance. We’ve been renting properties for 10 years or more and this one was fantastic in every single way! Stay here and become a fan yourself! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The owners have considered all the details like quality linens and paper products to even a foam roller in the yoga studio! Excellent location, walking distance to grocery, shopping/restaurants on the 101, and beach. Thank you, Tom and Peggy, for sharing your space and providing a blissful retreat for us travellers.

Cutest property inside and out on a quiet dead-end street. The house was perfect for a relaxing getaway! Household amenities were perfect plus a great outdoor firepit and sunny reading porch. About a 10-15 walk from the beach and the 101, lined with every restaurant you could desire. Nice, communicative owners and smooth process. On my list to stay again!

My husband and myself enjoyed the lovely casita the first time, we booked again! My favorite part was hanging out on the patio! So very nice! The location is the best. Close enough to everything, but away from the crowds. Loved being able to walk down to the beach, coffee shops, shopping and restaurants. Perfect place!

Owners (Tom and Peggy) were very welcoming and communication was excellent. The cottage is lovely and private and clean. Well-appointed and lots of thoughtful details. My wife really enjoyed the little yoga studio each morning. Location was perfect for us as an easy walk into town or to the beach through a great park at the end of the street.
