The cottage is a separate unit, a backyard 'granny-flat' that's about 750sq. feet . You have two seperate bedrooms, a kitchenette/living area plus bathroom. Freshly remodeled, this 'beach close' charmer looks out upon a secluded garden and lawn and loads of flowers. Eclectic is the feeling. Attention to 'creature comforts' and simplicity was the intention when renovating[Italian and Mexican tile accents, hardwood floors...] . An adjoining [but completely private] second bedroom is generously sized and includes a double bed. The kitchenette and living area overlooks the lawn and garden area.. . NO SMOKING in house or on the grounds. NOTE: there is a step from the main bedroom area into the kitchen area..Also from the kitchen area to the outside patio.
We respect your privacy, and ours. NO EXTRA FOLKS ON THE PROPERTY..NO EXCEPTIONS. (meet family and friends off the premises)
We see the situation as most attractive to couples, or couples with children, looking for a peaceful setting within a short walk to our little beach town and our great beaches-, Cardiff, Solana Beach, Encinitas and Leucadia, a sample of Southern California beach living.

We are located in one of north San Diego County's oldest neighborhoods, the Highlands of Encinitas. A 10 to 15 min. walk and you will find yourself in the quaint seaside town. Ethnic dining is big; great Italian, Peruvain, Thai, Indian, Japanese, etc.- Encinitas seems to be on the cutting edge of the 'conscious life-style' movement so health minded options abound. Whole Foods is close by. While the beach and ocean remain the main attractions, the beautiful gardens of the Self Realization Fellowship are a short walk into town, a resource for relaxation and rejuvenation. Our town is 'coming of age' you might say and it's all just a short walk away.

Return to the tranquility of your secluded and cozy garden cottage. If it feels like a fit, drop in and give us a try, maybe you'll become a regular.

    Carol and Tony were unbelievable hosts in an absolute sanctuary. I loved the fountain and wind chimes and the beautiful gardens. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality!

    What a delightful spot! Carol and Tony couldn't have been more welcoming and generous. The casita was comfortable and clean, and the little back patio was so nice. Easy access to the beach, downtown Encinitas and the freeway. Great place.

    Carol and Tony’s place was such an awesome base camp for our beach vacation! The Casita was so cozy and perfectly stocked with everything we needed. The backyard area was such a bonus to an already wonderful setup! Our daughters spent most of their time on the porch outside. There are two awesome beaches within a 5 minute drive or 10-15 minute walk. They had beach chairs, toys, and surfboards for us to take to the beach each day! Encinitas is such a gem and we will definitely be back! Carol and Tony were amazing hosts and treated us like family from the moment we got there.

    This is a cute cottage that has 2 bedrooms and a small kitchen-no oven but a toaster oven, microwave and hot plate. One of the bedrooms has a small sitting area with a TV screen. The garden was really beautiful with lots of seating areas.The hosts were very helpful and generous. Thanks so much! We had a great time!

    We spent 4 nights at Tony and Carol's pristine casita. Two queen beds, well stocked kitchenette. About two miles from downtown. The accommodations were great for three adults. It is not a large space but has great back yard area. Tony and Carol live in main house right next door. They were accessible but completely respected our privacy. We will definitely rent it again on our next visit.

    Carol and Tony's place was clean, comfortable, authentic, and low-key. It was a perfect basecamp for adventures. The location is close enough to town to be convenient, while far enough away to offer a peaceful respite from the hustle. It was a quiet place to recharge after a day of adventure. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
