Great stay in Encinitas

We had an excellent weekend stay at the house. It is very roomy, nicely maintained, and otherwise as advertised on the website. The hosts were super communicative. Both Swami's and downtown Encinitas are a 15-20 minute walk. Highly recommended!

House is even better than the pictures

Really great house with a great yard. The main house has great Master, plus 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the carriage house has a queen and two bunk beds downstairs with a full bath. We never needed the upstairs of the carriage house. Lots of neat places to sit and talk. The front garden was a favorite. You DO need to drive to the beach because of the railroad tracks, but Cardiff, San Elijo, Swami’s, and Moonlight are all the same drive time (3min).

Wonderful Property!

We had our family gathering in this home. What a wonderful home to host a family! Lots of space, 2 yards to play/sit in, a nice outbuilding/ADU that had all its own facilities, and everything was provided in the home we needed (and for the nearby beaches!). Nice neighborhood, and great access to both Swami beach and Moonlight Beach, and in-between the towns of Encinitas and Cardiff, so easy access to restaurants, etc. A great home at a great value!!

Spacious & comfortable home in beautiful Encinitas!

Our stay was truly wonderful. The home was spacious, the yard was beautiful, and the quaint downtown of Encinitas was less than a 10 minute walk away. My only suggestion would be to add a mini bar area and have more kitchen utensils for cooking, making cocktails, etc.

Fun Get Away to Cardiff

The property was beautiful with lots of space. It is in a nice neighborhood with farms stands on Saturday for fresh veggies and bread. Great walking paths along the ocean and fun restaurants nearby. The grocery store was also close for picking up essentials and the owners were super accommodating.

Well-Appointed Home

We really enjoyed staying in this very well-appointed home. It had everything you could want or need. It is obviously well-cared for. Our family enjoyed family meals indoors at the dining table and outdoors in the two seating areas. The fire pit was an unexpected bonus. Many perks in addition to the FABULOUS location!

Fantastic experience beautiful home

The first thing that impressed us so much was how great the owners are at communicating with us. They seem like great people and I’ll happily book their house again at some point. The house is a really cool style with a really cool sitting area in the front yard that we used a bunch to sit around the fire and chat. The area is right down by the water but just far enough away that you don’t have to deal with the beach traffic. There is a great little street about 5 min away that has a bunch of restaurants, shops, bars, and such that we went to a lot. It’s just very convenient and wasn’t too far from sea world or the zoo. Overall I would highly recommend this spot and will be back to use it again sometime.

Heavenly Stay

Our stay was heavenly! This property is pristine, and the owners are wonderful to work with and have worked very hard on every detail to accomplish the perfect paradise vacation! It exceeded our expectations and there were many bonuses that were unexpected. The property is gorgeous and location close to everything! Encinitas screams charming and the visitors' book they provided was very helpful. My husband was especially impressed that they had all the chairs, boards, umbrella, and towels to have a comfortable visit to the beach. We highly recommend Cardiff by the Sea and know your family too will experience a trip of a lifetime! Thank you, it was wonderful!! John, Teresa and Family
