Beautiful Casa Encino

I was really impressed with Casa Encino. So spacious and clean. The host was very accommodating as well. Easy check in and check out process. Also, very close to the beach and walking distance to some great restaurants.

Spring break family reunion

Excellent property. The location is ideally situated between town and the beach. Parking can be an issue, but not terrible. The owner was very responsive and friendly. I would recommend it (and rent it again)

We absolutely loved Casa Encino! The rental is beautifully maintained and very thoughtfully set up by the owners Melinda and Rob. We had everything we needed and more! The beds were super comfortable and Casa Encino is in a prime location with an ocean view from the patio. It's a super close walk to the beach and downtown San Clemente area and decorated so cute. Melinda and Rob went above and beyond when they found out it was my boyfriend's birthday and we hope to come back soon!

Happiest place on earth

What an amazing weekend. We were lucky enough to be the first guests here at Casa Encino! The hosts were not only sweet, helpful, and quick to respond, but they thought of everything! The casita was so well stocked and had absolutely everything we needed. Location couldn’t be better - walking distance to Del Mar and the beach. We will 100% be back and hopefully we can stay here every time.

Cozy family getaway near the beach

The home at Casa Encino was more than we could have asked for! Melinda, our host was so kind and great to communicate. Home was beautifully furnished and super clean! Better than pictured! Kitchen was fully stocked, even with some extra beach items (towels, chairs, umbrella)! We traveled with our 2 kiddos and enjoyed the patio and short walk to the beach each morning. So close to the pier for coffee and yummy eats. The beach down at San Clemente is so fun for kids and even playground nearby at Linda Lane. We also enjoyed the walkability to Avenida Del Mar for lunch, dinner, shopping! Couldn’t ask for a better spot! Street parking not an issue either. Will 100% stay again!
