Great location and I felt very safe. However the cleanliness was lacking. On our first night I ended up having to sweep the floors (they needed to be mopped but I didn’t have a bucket to use) and found dog hair and dust under the couches as well as a dog ball in the cousin of the couch. The kitchen counters were dirty and the coffee pot had caked on coffee that I personally scrubbed out. The refrigerator handles were very dirty with pieces of food particles. The top bunk of the bunkbeds had sand in the sheets when we pulled the bedding down. There was Womens hair in the bottom of the shower that we ended up cleaning before showing. You should also be aware that around 6:30 in the morning there is a child that lives in the townhome on the top floor that make a lot of noise running around. There is also a train track close by that sounds the horn at night time which made it difficult for my oldest to fall asleep.

Beautiful location and community. Several big issues- we completely understand need to manage noise levels for all, especially in a apartment situation. The harsh Directive to us was nothing over 70db or you are immediately kicked out & no refunds. The noise meter in living room would be at that if we were talking at normal levels. We essentially loud whispered and read closed caption on TV instead of jearing the shows. The folks beside us and above us were clearly NOT under same Directive creating great difficulty for my grandson to sleep. You should not require different behavior of renters than full time residents. Very oppressive situation. Their is NOTHING gourmet about the kitchen. Antique appliances and flea market pots & pans were extremely disappointing. I honestly do not believe majority of frying pans are safe to consume food cooked in them. The floors and countertops were extremely dirty. This was extremely upsetting since my grand baby is crawling and since there is an additional large fee for cleaning added to top of rental fees. Bottom line - update listing to be more honest & clear or make improvements.

Great stay. Place is very nice, well appointed, etc. Location is amazing. Very easy walk to Moonlight beach. Pretty easy to walk to a lot of Encinitas Village. Perfect for families.

ThAnk you for letting us experience your wonderful place!!! My son and I had a very good visit!

Overall was a good stay and a nice property and setup. Only complaint was how loud the upstairs tenants were. It seems if we are required to keep the noise under 70 decibels, then they would do the same. Child running around and screaming at 6:30 am everyday.

Eileen the manager was terrific. The place is very nice, both the apartment and the grounds w/ pool and jacuzzi. The pitter patter of little feet above was amusing and not a problem.

Nice property as mentioned with great location and plenty of room. Beds were comfortable. Furnishings needed to be updated, pots and pans need to be cleaned better before arrival and noise above us was distracting at times

Large unit, great location, very clean and comfortable. Beds were comfortable, plenty of towels, beach towels, beach chairs, etc. The noise meter was a bit over the top but I guess they are trying to get you to not have parties or large groups. We pretty much only slept and showered there anyway. We did enjoy the beautiful ocean views from the pool area. I was a little paranoid about the noise from 3 teenage boys but looks like we didn’t disturb anyone even with playing music and big jenga at the pool. Would recommend to anyone and would definitely stay there again. The only drawback was the lengthy instructions getting into the unit and all the different keys and remotes.

Our stay was just fine-the location to a walkable beach was great. Kitchen well stocked with pans for cooking, beds very comfortable.

We have only great things to say about this home. We loved it!

Great spot right next to Full Moon Beach. Everything as advertised. We were a little worried about the decibel meter and extreme warnings about sound but just had a normal family gathering (no wild party) and everything was okay. Actually, the family living above was more noisy than us. There is a sound proof problem with this place as we could hear a lot going on upstairs.

The location is great. The shared pool and patio space overlooks the cliffs and out to the Pacific ocean. You can walk to the beach down a fairly steep hill street to the beach in a few short minutes. 5 minute walk to great coffee shop and popular ice cream shop. Just a little further to reach other great restaurants and shops along Encinitas' main road (the 101).The condo felt fairly private, but you do share the space with the other residences that live in the complex. So when in the shared pool and jacuzzi space you will have other neighbors condos overlooking the area. Attached garaged was also a separate entrance, through a motorized gate, but the overall space was jointly shared with another residence. They were friendly and this did not bother us.The condo was well furnished and felt fairly spacious. Lots of upgraded appliances in the kitchen and decent furniture throughout the condo. We couldn't seem to be able to turn on the AC, so we left the windows open. The constant train horns anywhere you are in Encinitas are fairly constant. As previous reviews have mentioned, there is a noise (decibel) measuring unit in the corner of the main living area. It was constantly on our minds and seemed a bit out of the norm. The decibel level that you are supposed to stay below is 70 (up from 50 previously). You could almost meet this level running the sink or opening a soda/pop can. We were constantly reminding our 5 year old daughter to keep quite. It wasn't that bad overall and we never received any warnings or calls letting us know that we had gone above 70 decibels, but it did feel like we were in a Black Mirror episode at times. It was odd, you could watch the TV at a slightly above average level with no issue and it never went above 70 decibels. On that note, we never found the remote control to the living room TV, so couldn't adjust the volume anyway.Close to the beach, many grocery stores, downtown Encinitas, the coastal 101 and the main 5 highway to get North and South to downtown San Diego.Worth going into downtown Encinitas for Lofty Coffee, Modern Times Brewery, The Taco Stand and the Encinitas Fish Shop. Head North on the 101 for quick drive to Fish 101. It was also quick trips to Legoland and back into San Diego for the Zoo.

The condo was comfortable for 6 adults. We all enjoyed the pool, hot tub and short walk to moonlight beach.

Such a lovely beachhouse and a great location! Spacious and well appointed and having the green space outside and the pool/hot tub was so nice! Not sure if the listing still says there is private beach access via stairs but those are now closed which we were not informed of until the week before. Still a convenient location but was one of the reasons we chose this house. The main frustration for our family was the giant noise meter with huge red numbers on the wall. The house has plenty of room for a lot of guests - three bedrooms, three bathrooms and roomy living and kitchen areas. However it is meant for a quiet couple. We have family in the area and the cousins were simply playing cards at night chatting and laughing and we set the noise meter off multiple times. The neighbors above are very sensitive to noise so guests are supposed to be ridiculously quiet or receive a text and risk getting kicked out. Although by 7am it sounded like a heard of elephants lived above every morning so the noise consideration certainly did not go both ways. Lovely home and great location but not meant for a relaxing family gathering with chatter and laughter and typical family noise if that is what you are looking for.

Could not have asked for a better place to stay with my family of 4 adults and 4 children. We had a fantastic time and we attribute it to this home that was spacious, had plenty of amenities and things we needed (and also did not know we needed), proximity to attractions and of course the beach. The place was clean and perfect. We will definitely come back again.

We love coming to Encinitas and have two young children (2 & 3.5) so we need a house. This is maybe the best one we’ve stayed in in Encinitas - clean, practical, PERFECT location and beach accessibility. Plus the pool and hot tub. Awesome. The ‘one thing’ is the noise limit. We assumed 70 decibels would be like a loud party. It’s not, it’s basic gentle conversation. 50 decibels is whispering. My 3YO daughter walked into the kitchen and laughed a normal kid’s laugh at how great the place was and the decibel counter hit 82. We’d essentially broken our contract within 2 mins of arriving. All that said, we behaved normally and didn’t make excessive noise and hey, we weren’t kicked out! But just be aware the noise limits you’re signing up to are very low. Apart from that, an amazing place to stay!

My family enjoyed Christmas-New Year. The owner was very helpful.

Brian was very easy to work with. The property is absolutely beautiful, very spacious and clean. Kitchen is stocked with everything you would need and there were plenty of towels (both indoor and beach). Proximity to the beach couldn’t be better. Hot tub was a must for our yoga training! We will definitely stay if we come back! Go eat some ice cream at Handel’s, and visit Lazy Acres for groceries. Thank you for your hospitality! Rachel Ennis

Loved the fireplace!
