Everything about this place was amazing. I rented it due to it’s advertised “one block from the beach”. Unfortunately, due to the storms this year, that beach access is closed. Check with owners to see when it will be opened. (The next beach access is a half mile walk from the rental).

We had a great stay! Property is perfectly located and close to everything.

Best prepared home we’ve stayed in, with the most comfortable beds, the best nights sleep and an enjoyable kitchen; and we’ve stayed in some similarly priced and marketed homes. Definitely a short walk to the beach and the charms of Encinitas. The dune that Neptune Ave runs on blocks the sights and the sounds of the ocean.

We had a lovely stay. Accurately described, super close to the beach, clean, comfortable beds. We loved it! Thank you.

Really enjoyed our stay here!

The property was perfect! Exactly as pictured. A great area, short walk to Stone Step beach to watch the sunset every night became one of the trip highlights. Close enough to walk to many restaurants as well. Owners/property manager was very responsive to the one issue we had. The house was just perfect for our family. The beach equipment was the icing on the cake, my young adult kids loved it! Being that my kids are all young adults, finding time for all of us to be together is rare, so this trip was special for us & having this great place to stay really enhanced our trip!

We loved being able to walk easily to beach, have two patios to sit out and read. Decor is tastefully done. Agent very responsive.

Family vacation with my adult children. 6 adults stayed very comfortably. We cooked a lot in and the house was well equipped and accommodated all of us well. The location is perfect for beach access and into town on bikes or walking.

Ideal location in a beautiful home. Sincerely a pleasure!

We had an awesome time staying here. The home was very clean, comfy beds, great location and the host was super responsive. The family room offers a nice gathering area and the having use of the garage was fantastic for us to store our bikes. Thank you!

We were looking for a nice place to stay for our family of seven near the beach and we found it in this home. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to another stay in the future.

The location was great-very near stone steps and the beach below. the property was spotless and well equipped. We would surely book here again.

Our stay in Encinitas was great. Nikki was extremely responsive from the very beginning which added to our stay. Could walk to a great surf beach that wasnt crowded, good coffee house and several restaurants. The place itself was large and sunny. Jeff and Shari

A unique triangular floor plan and an abundance of windows flooding the main floor with light made our stay memorable and delightful. The quiet neighborhood of family homes and the proximity to the beach added to our experience. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property.

The home and location are awesome. Family of 5 with kids 9, 7 and 4. This neighborhood is really special with literally-just-around-the-corner access to Stonesteps Beach (and sunset viewing every night), a 15-20 minute walk through the neighborhood (or along the beach at low tide) to Moonlight Beach, and a trickle of families/joggers/cyclists/surfers/skateboarders passing through. Lot of life around, but quiet too. The home is bright, clean, comfortable and fun. We had an awesome time here. Few things to note that people might be considering based on the photos: You're on a corner so it could feel like a bit of a goldfish bowl, but it didn't bother us, and there are blinds on every window for a bit more privacy. There's no enclosed/fenced/gated yard and road essentially all the way around the property, so have to keep an eye on younger kids. It's not fast traffic or all that busy, so fine for our 7- and 9-year-olds, but had to keep an eye on our 4-year-old at times. The kitchen is small with a compact dishwasher and a bit of a hodgepodge of cookware, dinnerware and utensils, but nothing that slows you down too much. Recommend Pannikin for coffee/breakfast/brunch, Birdseye Kitchen for Thai, Haggos Tacos for Mexican, Corner Pizza for...pizza, and Leucadia Liquor for booze. All walkable (some more than others) or very short drive/pickup. Plus everything else that Encinitas and Leucadia has to offer, of course.

I have rented VRBO properties over several years and this one was the best by far. The property was clean with lots of windows to let in in the light, enough furniture to be comfortable with no excess, location was superb (close to beach and restaurants), and I had friends just down the street. We did not do any cooking; but had we, the dishwasher would have been inadequate. I could only find one dish towel. The property manager was very prompt in resolving the one little problem that my grandchildren created. I hope to come again next year.

Great location! It felt like a home away from home. Huge master suite with a king bed and balcony is a major luxury. Ability to do laundry before leaving is great. Only complaint is the kitchen utensils leave a bit to be desired, but that's not uncommon in a vacation rental. I get you don't want your good knives getting ruined by everyone, but it's hard to cut anything with a dull knife.

Property manager was Great to work with! Only suggestion we had was a full size dishwasher.

The house was just as pictured online, and in the best quiet spot for beach access and a few restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful house in a great neighborhood. Walking distance or very short drives to some really good restaurants, coffee, bars, shopping, and beaches. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommended this rental.

Me and my family really enjoyed the house. It was in the perfect location for the beach. The house was well equipped for cooking meals and gear for the beach. Would love to stay here again. Beautiful home!

We stay in Encinitas once a year and this is by far the nicest house we’ve rented. Stone Steps beach (a block away) is terrific and never crowded (due to lack of parking and high tides that cover the sand). Make sure to get a tide schedule (the lifeguards at the beach have them and they’re available online). The house felt large for our family of four. NB the master bedroom and bath are upstairs and the two other bedrooms and their shared bath are below, on the same floor as the living area and the kitchen. The owners are lovely and easy to communicate with. I hope we can stay again.

Everything was great. We loved the house and the neighborhood. We would love to stay again.

We loved our stay at this property! Short walk to the Stone Steps and Moonlight Beach. Great coffee and food within walking distance too! The boogie boards were a lot of fun :) Well stocked and Nikki was very quick to respond to any questions that I had. Will definitely be coming back!

Nice place, clean and close to the beach. I would definitely stay there again.
