It was a wonderful relaxing stay that our family will enjoy again this summer if possible. Recommend it and lovely outdoor spaces.

This house is precious! The neighborhood is quiet and the house was very comfortable for the two of us. We loved coming back here each day after busy gatherings with family and friends. Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hemingway House. The location is fantastic, in easy walking distance to Moonlight Beach and "downtown" Encinitas. The house itself is cozy, comfortable, and lovingly appointed with Hemingway memorabilia. The garden and outdoor spaces are beautiful. It was very easy to return to after full days of exploring and enjoying family and friends.

Perfect location, quiet and comfortable. The beds are comfortable. The home is quiet and just as pictured. It’s a short walk to moonlight beach, and we also walked to ice cream, restaurants, coffee shops. Would definitely stay there again.

We enjoyed our week at this cute, eclectic beach house. Very well appointed and comfortable beds. Lots of fun outdoor spaces to enjoy and relax. Walking distance to beach and downtown Encinitas. Manager very helpful and mailed us a couple forgotten clothing items.

Excellent location… close to town & beach. Very cozy for the 2 of us & great yard for our dog. A wonderful trip all around.

We had a great time staying at the Hemingway House over the holidays. The location was perfect. We walked to the beach every morning because you are right in between Moonlight Beach and Stone Steps Beach and about a mile walk to Leucadia beach. It was a short 1/2 mile walk into downtown Encinitas and a 1/2 mile or so to go to Leucadia, The house is an original beach cottage and it is quite cozy. We had 5 adults staying in the house and the living room was large enough where we could all gather. The rest of the house was on the smaller size but we were all able to have our own space when we needed it. We were fortunate to have good weather and were enjoying the outdoors or having an adventure everyday. The outside space was amazing. There were two little patios off the side of the house. There were also two separate outdoor spaces. The one closest to the house had a gorgeous lemon tree, a couch and a dining table. The one closest to the sidewalk had chairs and a table. It was lovely to have our morning coffee while looking at the palm trees. The yard is fenced so the dogs could safely hang out with us. The garage had a couch and ping pong table which the kids used alot. The neighborhood was super quiet and walkable with super nice folks living nearby. We truly enjoyed our time at the Hemingway House.

Great property in prime location with plenty of privacy and space to relax. The wifi was great and it was nice to have cable TV. We look forward to our next visit!

Had a good time in Encinitas with our family of 4, all adults. The place was a good location to see locals sites and in close proximity to the beach.

Loved the location of this, darling, creative, bungalow.

Great location, fun vibe. Pet friendly! Lots of good eats nearby. Quiet family neighborhood.

Quirky little property! One bedroom is a very small sunroom with a twin bed, not a full as listed, but we had a great trip! Definitely gets hot as there is no AC but opening doors and windows before bed helps and there are several little fans to use as well.

Such a cozy house in the perfect location. Everything is exactly as described with lots of amenities.

We were very comfy here. The house is fun to stay in with lots of things for our little kids (ping pong, lemon tree, toys), and it was a couple blocks walk to the beach - amazing!

It could use AC to make sleeping more comfortable on hot nights but everything else about the place is awesome. Plenty of things like chairs and body boards to make beach days great. And the ping pong table in the garage was good way to pass the time in the evenings. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Loved our stay! Pretty courtyard area for the kids to play while the adults relaxed. I highly recommend staying here!

We had an amazing time! We had everything we needed. Would highly recommend this beach house for a family or couple.

Our family of 6 plus a chihuahua stayed here for 5 nights. It was the perfect location to walk to Moonlight and Stone Steps beaches, and it was SO well stocked with everything we needed- beach cart, beach chairs, extra towels, sand toys, boogie boards, dishes, blankets, fans, hairdryer...we were not in want of anything! The outdoor space was perfect, the neighborhood was quiet, the outdoor bathroom and washer/dryer was great to use, and I loved having a sprayer outside to wash the sand off our feet. The photos online make some of the outdoor spaces look bigger than they actually are, but once you are there, you don't care! The house is older and has it's funny quirks, but for the price, you can't beat this property. We will stay here again. Our beach trip was perfect because of this home. We will never forget it.

The decor was delightful. Lots of outdoor spaces to chill. Everything you need including ironing board and iron . Air fans in all rooms keep interior nicely ventilated . Hope to be back with friends sometime soon .

Awesome outdoor space for you and a pet.

Close to beaches and to town. A lovely getaway complete with Hemingway lore.

We had a lovely stay. The house is ideally located near the beach and downtown Encinitas. We love to walk and know the area so we walked a lot. The house is small and decorated thematically to reflect Earnest Hemingway’s era. There is a lot of furniture and decorative items… We were visited by our kids and grandkids often so had to watch for things to not get bumped! The grounds are amazing and beautiful. We enjoyed the different sitting areas and the lemon tree! Overall… we truly enjoyed our month long stay… we may be back!

Lots of personality. good location. The outdoor bathtub is a hoot.

A gorgeous gem of a house with charm, character and easy access to Stonesteps and Moonlight Beach. Just a few quick blocks from shops…coffee, ice cream, pizza, etc. The outside tub/shower is a great feature as is the garage with ping pong table. The outdoor sofa/seating is the ultimate chill space. It was perfect for my family of three (including teenage boy). Hope to return.

We had a wonderful (too short) stay at what our kids have now dubbed “the pineapple house”! We loved this adorable charming cottage. It was so cozy and had everything we needed for our family of 5. The kids had such a blast playing in the yard and garage. Walking distance to moonlight beach that has a great playground for kids. Walking distance to our favorite coffee shop, Lofty Coffee. And a new favorite, Cali Cream ice cream. We will definitely be returning as often as possible!

We had a fantastic time staying at the Hemmingway House in Encinitas for a reunion with our friends. We had one tween and two teens with us, and they LOVED the garage with the couch and ping pong table. The beach was easily accessible, and all of the outdoor spaces at the house were relaxing and peaceful. The house had all of the amenities we needed, including beach towels, boogie boards and sand buckets. The driveway parking fit both of our cars, and the house was clean and comfortable. There were a few quirks here and there with the house as it is a bit older, but nothing that at all diminished our experience. We will definitely stay here again!

This little beach house is a gem! It is clean, well-supplied, welcoming and charming. The many decks and patios give you room to relax and enjoy the beautiful Encinitas environment. The short walks to Moonlight Beach, fun shops and great restaurants make this a fantastic location for a vacation. The property manager is great to work with!

Well suited for a family getaway. Comfortable decor and furnishings, and nice places to lounge and hang out. Considered it a treat that the owner shares this unique home with vrbo-ers. Nearby restaurants were great and the neighborhood was pedestrian, and dog, friendly. We will definitely be back!

This home is cozy and warm and situated in the heart of a Leucadia. The front yard is a beautiful and carries a ton of charm in the morning. You can walk to get coffee, you can walk to get food, and you can walk to get dinner and drinks. Our daughter is only 3 so being able to walk down to Moonlight Beach was magical. There are volleyball courts, food and restrooms, and tons of sand. I would definitely recommend to this place to families. The management is great and easy to get a hold of, we received quick responses if we had any questions. 5 stars!

Really enjoyed our stay! House has lots of outdoor spaces. Big front yard and comfortable covered patio. Owner was very kind and came over to welcome us to the neighborhood. A great spot for families. Close to Hwy 101 shops and restaurants - as well as beaches.

Prior to renting this place we read many reviews and sounded too good to be true. But this time it was really true - cozy place near the ocean and close to everything we needed

The property is a short walk to a beautiful beach with solid surfing. The downtown area is a longer walk or short car ride for night life/food. The house and backyard felt comfortable, like home. The neighborhood was beautiful and peaceful. I feel like I am coming off a little sappy here, but this place was reasonably priced, so I lowered my expectations going into the weekend because every place around this was much more expensive. Needless to say, we were blown away. My group loved the place and we had an amazing time. Can't wait to rent this place again.
