Immaculately kept property directly opposite the ocean. The photos don't convey just how lovely this property is. Everything is thought of to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. We would definitely stay again.
This property was very much as advertised. Clearly, the owners made every effort to be their guests. Everything from thoughtful welcome gifts to on-site bicycles, helmets, beach chairs, beach toys etc. was available onsite.
Each unit was appointed beautifully, providing a very relaxing stay. In fact, we probably stayed at the property much more time than we usually would on vacation because it was so relaxing just being there.
We rented all three available condos and upon arrival discovered that a fourth condo in the rear of the property is both private and occupied by the property caretakers. We found them observant but not intrusive during our stay, though they were clearly interested in whether we were respecting the property as per the rental agreement.
Bottom line, this was probably one of the top properties we’ve ever contracted for a short stay and we would definitely recommend it to others. Just know that although there are four parking spaces in front of the property, only three are available to guests; one for each condo. That caused us a last minute scramble when we arrived because we had already worked out that there would be plenty of parking for our four cars, not knowing one was reserved for the caretakers. In the end, it wasn’t a big deal because we found nearby street parking when necessary.
What an amazing vacation spot! From the decor, cleanliness and location of this property to the management team, we were all impressed. Having the bikes, boogie boards, surf boards, beach chairs and beach towels made going to the beach, which was less than a five minute walk away, so easy. Loved sitting on the decks in the morning with our coffee as well as enjoying happy hour and the beautiful sunsets in the evening. We highly recommend this property- it was well suited for our teenage grandkids, our adult kids and us (the grandparents!). We would love to return some day. Thank you Steve, Laura, Seth and Tennille!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Grandview Beach. The View, amenities and special care were just want we were expecting. We will definitely stay again.
The three units we rented were pristine; fresh, clean, so well stocked we could have had a feast for dozens. Nice extra touches like record players and records, guitars, toiletries and cleaning supplies. Beach, which was gorgeous, was just a short walk away. It was perfect!
- The unit is well appointed. There are comfy beds (including the Murphy bed), and clean linens/towels. The kitchen has lots of serving pieces, all the utensils needed and a Nespresso machine with a milk frother. There is also a full sized washer and dryer with laundry starter kits, iron, hair
dryer. It has everything you need for the beach with towels, chairs,
umbrellas, boogie boards, bikes, helmets, mini cooler, etc. The gym
equipment with free weights and mats were also nice to have there. It was great to fly in and not worry about bringing too much with us from home fora beach vacation.
- We loved the décor.
- quiet neighborhood.
- very close to Grandview beach
- beautiful view of the ocean from the deck
We could not have had a better stay. What amazing hosts! So responsive to our every need and furnished the house beautifully. We are a young family and especially enjoyed frequenting the three different beaches within 2 miles. Every piece of beach equipment needed was provided, allowing us to travel just a bit lighter. We plan to come back! Thank you again.
This was by far one of the best places we have ever stayed at. The place was beyond comfortable- both inside and out. The location and view was superb, and the access to just about every amenity you would want/ need (bikes, boogie boards, beach chairs and umbrellas) made this the perfect vacation.
Steve and Laura were incredible hosts, and made sure we had everything we needed. This was truly like a 5-star resort stay.
We had the best time as a family and enjoyed walking to the surf, sitting on the deck, playing guitar and going for walks! Definitely will come back! Thank you!
Place was spotless. Property owners were responsive, flexible and gracious at every opportunity. One block to a relatively quiet beach, great deck with views, well appointed kitchen and access to small gym area. If we come back to the area this will be the first place we will look to book.
This is the perfect beach getaway spot! The beach is stunning and only a block away, walking distance to a fantastic little donut shop, beautiful ocean views from the balcony, a garage stocked with any beach equipment you could possibly need, and the house felt clean and comfortable. My 4 year old son said that he never wanted to leave! We didn't either! Thank you for sharing this beautiful spot with us.
To be perfectly honest, this property was at the top of our vacation budget, but I can tell you that it was absolutely worth it. Every detail has been well thought out and the amenities are immaculate. The view alone was worth the price of admission ; ). Overall it was a great stay and the communication with the property manager was top notch along with ease of access to the unit.
What an amazing job by Jillian, the property was perfect and has an amazing location for anyone that wants to surf beacons or Grandview. They have all the right stuff for cooking and the place has an amazing view. I can't praise this spot enough.
We really enjoyed this property for a quick weekend trip away from the snow. High 60’s seems warm when you’re coming from 18 degrees so we enjoyed the deck morning, noon and night and walked to the beach, just steps away, for beautiful sunsets. The house is stylish and equipped with anything you can imagine from a turntable for music to beach cruisers, chairs, surfboards, etc. We walked or rode bikes to nearby markets and restaurants and just enjoyed relaxing in this home. It was a girls’ trip so shopping lured us to nearby Encinitas and the Forum shops but for the most part we liked the accommodations to a degree of not wanting to leave. Thanks Laura, Steve & Jillian for sharing SeaLoft with us!
My wife and I rented the property with our kids and mother-in-law over Christmas. Everything about it is absolutely first class. From the easy communication with the hosts, to the beautiful furnishings and finishes, to the provisions that were provided from bikes to iPhone chargers, the owners have truly thought of everything. There are beautiful views, a short walk to the beach, and a fantastic donut shop a block away!
Our family of 4 loved this boho-chic, nearly oceanfront property. Jillian, the property manager, was informative and went above and beyond making sure everything was just right.
The property is new and decorated in a high end surfer-chic motif. It was very clean, with comfortable beds and a well stocked kitchen as well as baths. The balcony is spacious with comfortable furniture and peekaboo views of the Pacific. We loved the stocked garage full of gym equipment, surf and boogie boards, and all things beach related. We especially loved the beach cruiser bikes which we used everyday. The area is great for taking a leisurely ride with the sounds of the ocean in the background.
There were a lot of sweet little extras-such as the the lovely welcome gift basket, use of an instant Polaroid camera, binoculars, chilled drinks in the fridge upon arrival, bathroom toiletries, wireless printer and even flameless candles set to come on in the evenings. Every detail was well thought out within the property, making our stay one of our favorites in Southern California. We have rented dozens of oceanfront homes and townhouses in the Encinitas area over the past decade and even though Sealoft is not direct oceanfront, this is one of our new favorites. We will definitely return and recommended it to friends and family.
We loved our stay at Sea Loft! Location is great with a quick walk to the beach. Wonderful welcome basket. We have stayed at a lot of rentals and the kitchen was absolutely one of the best stocked we ever had! Out of habit we always bring towels, umbrellas, boogies boards, chairs and a cooler...... it ALL stayed in the car. They had everything.
The condo was fabulous with all the extras provided, bicycles, weight room. Thank you to hosts, Laura, Steve and Jillian for being so responsive! Highly recommended.
We had a fabulous week in Encinitas and this home was the perfect place for our family. Jillian was responsive to our needs, which were minimal because everything we needed was right there. We biked everyday, surfed everyday, grilled while taking in ocean views (nearly) everyday and enjoyed all that Encinitas had to offer with ease - next time we may not even rent a car. It was a special week celebrating our daughter's graduation and we could't have wished for a more delightful venue. Many thanks for the awesome memories. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful!
Wow, what a great stay! Grandview Lofts is awesome - beautiful, light filled, organized and stocked with everything you could possibly need for a fun vacation. The outdoor amenities including bicycles, beach chairs, surfboards, are all perfect. It's obvious that a lot of care has been taken to make this a really top notch rental. The location is wonderful, we were able to walk or bike everywhere. Jillian was a pleasure to deal with, we were very happy and hope to be back!

Relaxation at its best
This property is a wonderfully relaxing getaway with space and openness that lives large. Really enjoy the modern amentities, appliances, furnishings, and most importantly view of the ocean and close proximity to the beach. Just can’t beat it, as there are also great restaurants and shops within walking distance too!

About the host
Hosted by Steve & Laura McCarty
Steve & Laura We grew up as family friends in the Pacific Northwest, and both relocated to sunny Southern California on our own in the '80s - Laura to Newport Beach, and Steve to the Carlsbad area. In 1994, on a snowboarding trip to Oregon with mutual friends, we renewed our friendship and were married on the La Jolla shores the following year. We have lived and worked in the Encinitas area ever since – we absolutely love the weather, the beaches, the community vibe, and the location just doesn’t get much better. We love to cook, travel, meet people, and create & share new places with others.
