    Roberta is a wonderful hostess who made our stay very special. She provided us with excellent recommendations for dining, attractions, and events to make sure we experienced the best that Encinitas has to offer. The location is very convenient with a vibrant downtown close by, but far from any traffic noise, and situated almost halfway from two popular beaches. Highly recommended!

    The host, Roberta, is awesome—very helpful. Cottage was comfortable & clean. Very sunny patio that we loved. Restaurants & shopping within walking distance. Very safe area.

    This is a spacious rental in a great location. It is an older property (as expected in this historic downtown area) but the kitchen and back deck are particularly nice. Kitchen is large and sunny- and has a dishwasher. The back deck, which is off the kitchen, is a very pleasant space and has a gas grill. The owner is very responsive. We initially had trouble getting wifi reception in the living room and the owner responded promptly. The very next morning she had a Cox service man there installing an upgraded modem, which resulted in great wifi service. We have already booked this place again for next summer.

    Stayed here over a month while my new rental was being built. Very quiet neighborhood with walking distance to the various viewpoints, access to the beach at D st. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping is a huge plus! Everything at the house was in excellent condition and did not have any issues. Having a dishwasher and access to laundry a huge plus. Landlord was very friendly, communicative and flexible. I would definitely stay here and recommend to anyone that's visiting beautiful Encinitas!

    We have stayed two months twice In a perfect cottage. Safe environment with access to everything. Walking distance to beach, dinning shopping. The kitchen is stocked to prepare meals with a patio to dine on. The owner is a text away with answers to any questions. We plan to return again.

    The best thing about Nameste Retreat is the location, you can walk both to the main downtown of Encinitas including great restaurants and SRF for meditation, services and gardens. One block from Ocean enables you to watch the sunset every night. The outdoor patio is wonderful, plus you can walk around Roberta's meditation garden. Some of the furniture, like kitchen chairs could be updated for those with posture issues, but it was cozy enough for us. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms is nice.
