Beautiful home close to everything in Encinitas and Cardiff. We were easily able to walk to Swami’s Beach, as advertised. Moonlight and the other nearby beaches were a super quick drive. The house was very clean and had just about everything we needed. The beds were really comfortable! Will absolutely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is lovely and clean and is decorated very nicely. My husband and I brought our two teen kids (boy and girl) and they each loved their rooms. The rooftop deck was great...just wish we stayed longer to enjoy it more! The only issue we had was with the fridge...just did not keep things cold! Otherwise, great stay! Would definitely come back.
