The hosue is as beautiful as it looks online. Sunlight streams through in every room. The outdoor space is nothing short of magical. There are many ways you can enjoy the space. We used the outdoor hot tub which was fun and the fireplaces/tiki torches made the experience feel like you’re in a different world. Downtown Encinitas is walkable and so close to the highway to explore the rest of San Diego. Kitchen was well stocked and chef grade appliances and pans.
Loved our stay and highly recommend!

Loved everything about our stay. The kitchen is fully equipped/stocked for cooking although we chose to frequent the wonderful restaurants just around the corner. The yard and fireplace (although we didn’t have a fire) were so quaint. Inside common spaces were just as relaxing. Bed was comfy and there was plenty of closet space to unpack (which I love to do when staying for more than a couple days). Not to mention host was incredibly responsive and accommodating! Would definitely stay here again and again.

We love staying at Eric's PBC - The whole vibe of the place makes you relax instantly. It's full of light, even on cloudy days. He has stocked the kitchen with everything you need and more. All appliances are fabulous and everything is immaculately clean! Laundry right outside the back door. Juan the beautiful black lab is always ready with a welcome :) Neighborhood is quiet and convenient to everything. Thank you Eric

We loved our stay at Pacific Palm Grove! The cottage and grounds were just beautiful...so well-designed, well-equipped and comfortable. And we so enjoyed walking in the historic neighborhood..such an eclectic array of homes with pretty gardens and foliage. Gorgeous beaches nearby too, and a lovely botanic garden. Great restaurants and cute shops in the area. Our host, Eric, was incredibly helpful and nice. We'd go back in a minute!

My husband and I were very impressed with the cottage and felt extremely comfortable there, in fact we are already planning our return visit. The space was perfect for the 2 of us, but we may have felt crowded bringing the kids. The kitchen was top notch and Eric had 2 grills plus front yard and backyard seating/visiting areas. The town of Encinitas was so close, and we had a great time exploring the hangouts. Next visit needs to be a little longer!!

We loved our stay, beginning to end! Our flight was canceled & Eric was kind & gracious enough to work with us to extend our stay by 2 days. The weather started out a little gloomy & chilly so we didn't get to use the outdoor spaces enough, but certainly will do next time. The shower is extra special & invigorating & the bed is super comfortable & the area was very quiet. I'm an insomniac & still managed to get some sleep here. The entire space was just lovely & we are already thinking about a trip back. Loved Encinitas, & Loved this little slice of paradise. Thank You Eric, Anne & Jaun!

Really enjoyed our stay! Eric’s place is perfectly located and has a wonderful vibe. Especially enjoyed Juan, one of the goofiest/ friendliest dogs I have ever met. I highly recommend!

Great time. Great place. Great location. Whether you are out of town checking out San Diego or you live in the city and need a staycation...this is an excellent option. My family of 4 had a great time hanging at the house and it is an excellent base of operation for exploring the beach communities. We will be back.

Every few years I take a personal retreat for a time of solitude, reflection & prayer. I had saved this property in my VRBO sometime ago, and was so grateful to have finally enjoyed it! The home was clean, charming and LOADED with amenities! Location is perfect, as was the lush surroundings & wonderfully place skylights! One little perk worth mentioning, and to my great delight, is the water pressure in the shower, the heater within the shower room & the hot water that was plentiful! Maybe seems an odd detail to highlight, but not once you experience it! :) I’m so thankful for my time away from home, to enjoy in this beautiful getaway and getting the perfect space and time within luxury that I was hoping for! Thank you!

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at the PBC and can't wait to come back and stay again in the future. We loved all the incredible amenities (tiki tub, fire places, tiki torches, etc.) And the town of Encinitas has everything you need and more. Perfect location to access a walk along the coastal rail trail or wander into the center of town and visit great local restaurants. A short drive from San Diego, but you feel like you are in an island oasis away from it all. This place is a gem!

From the moment we stepped onto the property, we knew we had picked an extraordinary haven for our visit. We walked through the door to the sounds of Hawaiian music, we scanned the room to find a unique, spectacularly decorated, inviting backdrop for our time near the beach! Eric, our host, was incredibly friendly and extraordinarily helpful. The stay was restful, the atmosphere was charming, the host exceptional! We'll be back.

Such a romantic and cozy place! Juan the lab greeted us and helped us eat bacon. Would highly recommend and would stay again! Lazy Acres has great food to cook in the fully stocked kitchen.

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay af this amazing home in Encinitas. Quiet neighborhood, walkable to everything, and great accommodations. We’d love to come back soon.

This property has everything you need to work (incredibly fast WIFI), relax (loved the soaking tub), surf (very close to Swamis), and cook (incredibly well appointed kitchen for a rental - sharp knives and cast iron?!? Amazing). I want to keep this place a secret, but that wouldn’t be fair! We will be coming back!

Great location, beautiful home and property. Couldn't have asked for more in our short stay.

The PBC was a great base for exploring all that North County has to offer. It is located on a quiet residential street, just a short bike ride or walk away from the heart of Encinitas. The cottage has a spacious interior and the outdoor areas are terrific. There is a full kitchen and the place is well equipped with with laundry supplies, toiletries, beach chairs, coffee/tea supplies, extra blankets, condiments, spices, etc. An informative manual answered most of our questions. For anything else, Eric was quick to respond to text messages. We especially enjoyed morning visits from Eric's black lab named Juan!

Dripping with charm! Palm fronds from every window. Even the unusual rain didn’t cramp our fun as the cottage is perfect for enjoying all weather. Listening to the trees and rain in the cozy cottage was as delightful as the sunshine. Kitchen is nicely stocked for cooking and enjoying family in the open space. We look forward to returning!

Left our home in cold MT to enjoy the CA sun and the greenery, to celebrate a big anniversary. The weather did not cooperate, but because the PBC is absolutely as enchanting as advertised, we had a wonderful getaway. The cottage is roomy, quiet, charming and has everything one could possibly need/want. We were even able to squeeze in great fun by the outdoor kiva fireplace and tiki torches, enjoying some wine and charcuterie. Eric, the property host, is a great resource for all things local, and although completely left us to our privacy, always quickly responded to any questions. The neighborhood is quiet all day long and there are many nearby great beaches, restaurants and shops. Was also fun seeing the amazing transformation of the property and landscaping in the photo log in the cottage, as Eric’s vision came to be realized over these many years. Although on the pricier side of places to stay in the area, the PBC is truly worth every cent

My wife and I had a few days to ourselves and decided to visit Encinitas in late June to get away from the heat. After researching many properties in/near Encinitas we decided upon PBC and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. If you are considering a destination where you can spend most of your days lounging on the patio, hiking the trails and eating/drinking at wonderful restaurants, this place checks all the boxes. The property itself is located on a quiet/safe street just a few blocks off of the 101 and has all of the amenities that you could desire. Additionally, the owner and his dog Juan went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and were extremely accommodating throughout our stay. We look forward to our next visit and highly recommend this VRBO.

Our visit to the "Plantation Beach Cottage" could not be improved upon. The comfortable house includes something for almost any kind of entertainment for all ages and tastes. The location is within walking distance to Swami's Beach, and downtown Encinitas. The patio in front and deck in the rear are great places to sit, read a book, or anything else.

This house is like non other and the owner, Eric, qualifies as one of the most interesting guys I have encountered in all my travels which include over 50 countries in as many years . Try it and you will see what I mean.

Eric’s tiki themed rental was a pure delight. The house is well located, lovingly curated, homey, and inviting. A short walk to Swami’s beach and all the charming shops on the 101. The house boasts numerous hang out spaces, a cook’s kitchen and all the beach gear you could ask for. We especially enjoyed the rustic tiki tub and outdoor shower, as well as occasional visits by Juan the adorable black lab pup.

The house does not disappoint! We wish we had spent more time there. Super kitchen if/when we decided to cook, and a relaxing vibe with plenty of space. The beach stuff, bikes, and fireplace were all a nice bonus. Plenty of things within 10m walk including amazing sunsets!
We will definitely stay here again when in the area.
