Quiet and short walk to the beach

Comfortable space in a perfect location. Owner is a clear communicator and is great to work with. I’ll return!

The property is ideally located, and was clean and comfortable!

We were very pleased with the property and its location. The owner was incredibly friendly and helpful. We don’t want to say too much great about the place because we want to come back and keep this hidden gem to ourselves. Haha! It was a fantastic weekend. Thank you!!

Location, Location, Location. This property is so well located. It’s impossible to review without mentioning this. Joe’s communication was fast and accurate. There were a few bumps during the stay, some excess noise from a vent cleaning service, which woke me up, but it didn’t go on for long, and it would make me more comfortable if they changed the door code after each stay, but overall, the stars I’ve provided speak volumes. Did I mention the location? Thumbs 👍

We only stayed for a short time but really enjoyed it.

Joe's place was perfect for 3 nights in Encinitas for my daughter and me. The space was very clean and comfortable, and the location can't be beat ... so close to the beach, restaurants ... and tacos. Would definitely return.

Great place to stay. No issues. Perfect location.

It is a very nice place for a couple. I would definitely stay there again.

This was the perfect place to stay for a few extra days after I attended a women’s retreat in Encinitas. Close to moonlight beach and down town area to shop & eat. The villa was cozy and clean. Perfect for a solo traveler or a couple. Joe was a wonderful host. I plan to return again!

Our stay was excellent. Couldn’t ask to be more perfectly located. You truly don’t need a vehicle. No needs or wants were over looked. Beautiful, friendly and kind neighborhood.

Great location, couple short blocks to beach, dining, shopping, nice place. Would definitely stay here again when visiting the area.

Charibella by the Sea is a secure, private, nice, clean & convenient luxury vacation. We would stay again

Great location!!

We had a great time! Very nice close to the beach!

We were in town for a wedding. The location and setting was perfect. We could walk to dinner and to the beach. The place was nicely appointed and comfortable.

Stress free vacation, easy check in/out. Can be noisy but to be expected with proximity to bars and beach we didn’t mind. House had all amenities we needed. If you could have a better futon or pullout bed for kids would be a bonus over the fold up mattress provided. Really enjoyed our stay back in Encinitas thanks

My husband and I chose Encinitas to spend for our homeymoon. This place was affordable and super close 4 minute walk to the beach. Even all the shops, restraunts and the convenient store are short walks. It truly is a little hidden gem. Has a private back patio, and was absolutely perfect for two people looking to enjoy a vacation by.the beach. It was too perfect. The host, Joe, was very friendly, laid back, and accomodating. Was everything i could have dreamed my honeymoon to be, thank you!

great place to stay and close to everything. Everything was upgraded in the unit. Already told 3 more people about this place.

Supper good location, clean, everything you need. You can walk to the beach, clubs, brewery, and restaurants. All short walk 2-3 blocks. Great fun!

We love the check-in process! Very clean place, including all the cooking utensils, pots and pans!! Thats a plus for someone like me who likes to cook! The bed is super comfortable! We also have no problems finding a streets parking! Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay!

Joseph’s property was comfortable, clean, and conveniently located. Our morning walks to the beach or local Encinitas coffee shops/eateries were a pleasure. Will certainly stay again and recommend to family and friends.

Very nice property, so close to the beach, walking distance to downtown. Very comfortable, will return.

The location was perfect for our Encinitas getaway. The room was well-appointed with everything we needed and walking distance to the beach and downtown.

Great little spot! It was a bit tight for two parents and two young (7 & 9) kids. Forced us to get outside which is exactly where you want to be in Encinitas! Joe was very responsive and made sure everything was great. Can’t wait to come back!

We enjoyed our 4 day visit and got to recharge our bodies.

We really enjoyed our quick stay here nice, quiet, close to everything including the beach!

This is a wonderful place to stay - great location, well- stocked, comfortable! Thank you Joe!

We have stayed in a number of VRBOs in the Encinitas area. This is among the best. The location can’t be beat with easy walking access to restaurants, etc on the 101 as well as Moonlight Beach. The unit appears to have been purpose built as a segregated part of the main house. It is ideal for a couple. Being attached to the main house, we occasionally heard a little sound from the owners, but probably less than one would experience in a hotel. You will hear the train in the morning at the station a few blocks away. Again, nothing really disturbing. The furnishings are nice. The utensils, etc. appear to have been purchased for the unit, not someone’ castoffs. The microwave was broken, but we didn’t need to use it anyway. Parking on the street is sometimes difficult, especially on the weekends, but Joe is accommodating, allowing the use of one side of the driveway if needed.

If you enjoy walking vacations, this is the perfect spot. We parked our car (easy on weekdays) and walked everywhere! The beach is just a few blocks away and the little town, with lots of great eating establishments and some fun shops, is a block away! The guest house is ideal for two adults. Our young adult daughter joined us for the first three nights and it felt a bit cramped. It would also be great for a couple with a baby or young child, but I wouldn't recommend it for more people than that. The property has a small, enclosed patio. We felt very safe, leaving the windows open every night. I'd prefer central AC in the summer though. Sleeping was a bit warm; for privacy, we needed to close the curtains in the bedroom. The living room stayed pretty cool all the time and my daughter was comfortable sleeping there. Probably wouldn't be a need for AC for most of the year, but we happened to be there during a heat wave. We had some special requests due to medical needs and Joe was super responsive and helpful. Communication was great through the VRBO app, but not ideal with the phone number that we were given. Once I figured that out, it was fine. Thanks for a wonderful stay. My husband and I will be back for sure!

Alternate parking accomodations if streets were full.

Location is perfect. Short walk to Moonlight Beach down the D Street access or take a right and you're at Moonlight Beach by the LifeGuard station and concessions/restrooms, etc. So convenient to walk to amazing restaurants on Coast Hwy and especially Gelato 101!! Encinitas Coaster Station is close by too! We had been renting a house all week close by, with our family (kids/grandkids) and wanted to extend our stay for a few more days of relaxing and beach time, so we transitioned over to Joe's place for 4 nights for just the 2 of us. We were so happy we selected Joe's unit, we hope to be back again! Owner was easy to communicate with too!
