Beautiful beach cottage only steps from the beach, private yard, kids welcome!

The property was very pet friendly, which we appreciated for our senior dogs. The entire place was well appointed, well maintained and even though we didn't need it, it included a first aid kit. Lots of special touches throughout the property. We really enjoyed our stay and would book this property again. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay. Very comfortable, great location and yard was perfect for the dog.

Host was very responsive when we arrived.

Very welcoming property, easy check in, family friendly, and loved the neighborhood, we will plan to stay here again.

Lovely house! Close to beach and has air conditioning! :) Lots of space for our dog too! Galyn is very friendly and we enjoyed our stay.

Perfect location in Encinitas, west of the highway and railway tracks, 10 minute walk to Stonesteps and Moonlight Beaches, in walking distance of the main drag: coffee, ice cream, lots of food options. The house is tucked away on a quiet street. The kitchen is tight for two people, but we weren’t there to cook. We would have liked to have some microwave dishes to reheat food. The outdoor grill works great. Bedrooms are good sized with comfy beds and plenty of pillows. The property has been described as “tired,” but unlike many places we’ve stayed, the living room couch and chairs are super comfortable. The outdoor space is the best part, furniture for dining and just relaxing. Finally, we loved the outdoor shower to clean the dogs after a morning at the beach.

This absolutely darling beach house filled with antiques, bohemian kitch, and Encinitas vibes was the perfect place for our family of 5 to vacation. Aged 3 1/2 to 73, we ALL had a perfectly lovely 8 nights. Yes, there are quirks such as the water pressure is nil when a toilet is flushed or the washer is running but all that was easily worked around and does NOT give this place a lower rating. The kitchen is stocked with all the tools and dishes and pans that you need to cook, bake, grill etc, The outside bathroom was greatly appreciated. The weather was sometimes rainy which was lovely but humid too so the airconditing was lovely for those days, otherwise we just had the windows open. The beach is walking distance which we did daily to the little park for our 3 year old grand child in the morning. We chose to drive to the beach though and unload all our our parafenalia onto the provided rolly cart for a stay on the beach. Huge bathtowels are provided too! Games, puzzles, ping pong, boogie boards, beach chairs EVERYTHING you need for the ideal beachside holiday. Our grandaughter entertained us all with her gymnastics on the HUGE artificial turf front lawn, We ate outdoors on the patio most meals. Delightful!!! Some people may want something very modern, slick and fashionable but this place fits the the bill for an authentic beach town livin' with-the-locals and loving it great time. Communication with the owner was great! FIVE STAR for sure.

We stayed a few nights with our kids, looking to have walking access to the Encinitas beaches. The walks to Moonlight Beach and Stonesteps were peaceful and not too far for our lower elementary aged kids. They loved the toys and games in the converted garage at the house, the outdoor spaces are expansive and comfortably furnished, and we all slept very comfortably in the two bedrooms. Communication with the house manager was excellent and one or two minor issues (including me forgetting an item at the house!) were handled promptly and with great kindness. The house does show its age in some respects, but it was a great base for our beach visits and I would happily stay again!

This place was so quirky and fun. All kinds of toys for adults and kids. Ping pong table and beach toys got used a lot. The kitchen was one of the most well stocked of any. Everything we needed. Plenty of towels for shower and beach. The outdoor shower was a hit! Would rent again in the future.

Cozy cottage. Ping Pong table in the garage, which made for some good times.

Loved the location of this little house. Easy beach access and walkable to everything in Encinitas. The house itself is a bit worn - furniture and carpet could use an update, doors are creaky and two panel, back sun porch area is sloped. Outside patios are amazing and practical - easy to use!

Perfect beach house, comfy beds, I would stay there again - was absolutely perfect

Great location and had what we needed for a good long weekend.

The cottage was adorable! Very cozy with private outdoor garden spaces to relax in. The beaches were pristine and within a 10 minute walk. The San Diego Botanical Gardens was very close. The neighborhood was charming, as well. 🌺🌷🌻
