My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. The property is lovely, convenient to beaches and shopping. We especially enjoyed the quiet and sitting in the yard to talk. We got to admire hummingbirds right outside the kitchen window every afternoon. Looking forward to a stay here again.

The pictures for this house are completely accurate. Place was spotless. What a beautiful property! The outdoor spaces were incredible and we used them so much for family meals and for the bride’s small “getting ready” luncheon. It offered some lovely photos for that purpose. Encinitas (downtown) has great vibes and good restaurants. The 101 Diner was a favorite breakfast spot — we went three times!Kitchen has so many serving dishes and general prep items. It was all I needed for any occasion. Hosts were wonderful and accessible.

Obsessed and in love with this home.

This house was amazing. The beds were insanely comfortable. Clean and new and bright and happy. The back yard was a dream to relax after a work day. I wish I came to San Diego more often because I would stay in the home every single time. Oh and the owner was so lovely and kind to communicate with.

The house was everything as pictured. So close to the beach but you couldnt really see much of the ocean from there. No worries though. Would definitely book it again and again.

Wonderful place to stay!

The house was incredibly clean, updated and had a GREAT outdoor space! We had a small hiccup during our time there and the property manager responded right away to help us out. We would definitely try to rebook for this home for our next trip to SD before searching for others.

Beautiful home

Four of us stayed at this property for a girlfriend’s weekend getaway. The decor is beautiful, the house was clean, and the host was very attentive. We enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed longer.

Nice neighborhood location

The property was clean and comfortable. I didn’t even notice the beautiful deck out back bc we were busy and the weather wasn’t great but it would be a great spot to hang out.
