Encinitas Beach Haus is a lovely contemporary beach bungalow in the heart of downtown Encinitas and only 1/2 block to breathtaking ocean views. Beach access is just blocks away at Swami's, D Street, or Moonlight Beach (C and B street). The house is located West of the 5 freeway AND West of Coastal Highway 101, meaning no highway crossing required to access the beach. It features a sleek, stylish design boasting high-end finishes and appliances, including bamboo flooring throughout, expansive exposed beam ceilings, La Cantina door to enhance indoor/outdoor living, and stainless steel KitchenAid appliances. The main house offers 2 bedrooms (both with King beds), 1 bathroom plus an open-concept kitchen, dining area and living room with modern gas fireplace. Across the courtyard featuring outdoor seating, firepit, bar island and a grill, the casita offers 1 bedroom (with 2 new Queen beds), 1 bathroom plus living room with sofa bed, kitchenette, skylights, ceiling fan, and laundry room with new large-capacity stackable LG washer and dryer. The bedrooms have shades on the main windows, but they are more for privacy than for blocking light. If you are sensitive to light, I recommend you bring an eyemask. Like most houses in coastal San Diego, this house does not have a/c.
This home is located within walking distance to 2 great beaches: Moonlight Beach in Encinitas (about 6 blocks) and Swami’s beach in Cardiff (about 0.4 miles). Moonlight Beach is a wonderful family-friendly beach that features sand volleyball courts, playground equipment, fire pits, tennis courts and new facilities, including restrooms, beachside snack hut and equipment rental shops. Swami’s is one of the greatest surf beaches in the area and is located next to the world-famous Self Realization Fellowship Hermitage & Meditation Gardens. You can walk through the gardens just down the street from the Beach Haus. Included in your rental are beach chairs, beach wagon and other gear and to help you enjoy your time at the beach. An outdoor shower with hot water allows you to easily rinse off the sand from your day.
It is also only 2 blocks to all the wonderful shopping and restaurants available on Coastal Highway 101. There you will find many dining and drinking options within walking distance to keep you entertained throughout your stay including City Taco, Culture Brewing, Encinitas Ale House, Union Kitchen & Tap, Blue Ribbon Pizza, Trattoria I Trulli, The Taco Stand, Swami’s Café, The Bier Garden and so many more.
If you need a break from the beach, Encinitas also is home to many yoga studios, the classic La Paloma movie theater, and the San Diego Botanic Garden with four miles of garden trails and numerous exhibits including rare bamboo groves, desert gardens, a tropical rainforest, California native plants, Mediterranean climate landscapes, succulent gardens, an herb garden, firesafe landscaping, a subtropical fruit garden, and native coastal sage natural areas.
Outside of Encinitas but still close, you can enjoy the Del Mar racetrack, Carlsbad, Legoland, Sea World, the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Parks, Seaport Village, Cedros Design District, the Stephen Birch Aquarium, Torrey Pines for hiking, Balboa Park, Coronado Island, Old Town and the downtown Gaslamp District. Within a 1-hour drive in Anaheim are Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm.
There is no end to the fun San Diego offers, and most are a quick drive or train ride from Encinitas. The central location of this special home allows you to leave the car behind and enjoy many wonderful in-town experiences, or hop on the Coaster (train) and explore further afield.

We had a great stay. Debbie was easy to work with and the house is comfortable and very well-equipped. We walked to get coffee, food, etc every day, and could walk 30 seconds to see a gorgeous sunset every night. Renters should be aware that there is no HVAC system in the main house at all. There is a fireplace in the living room that does an admirable job of heating the space over time, but there is no thermostat so you can only adjust the heat by turning the fireplace off and on. Most of the time: no big deal. During a cold January....it was a bit of deal. We used a small space heater in the master bedroom/bath area so that helped. Also...a plus is the huge windows front and back for natural light...and also a minus, since there is not great privacy. Kind of a fish bowl, but we got used to it. And the bedroom roller shades are not opaque, which could be an issue if you have people staying across the courtyard in the casita. At night, with the lights on in the bedroom, you can see in. Could benefit from some opaque blinds.
We really enjoyed our stay. The property is nice and updated, has everything you need, and is in a great location. The fact that there is a separate casita and a nice outdoor patio and garden in between makes it feel even more open and spacious. Debbie was very nice to work with. I definitely recommend staying here!
We spent a wonderful week at the Haus in mid August. The home itself was spotless, tasteful and well furnished with all the supplies a vacationing family could want. The separate little home, or casita, was truly a big win for our 17-year-old. But the setup would also suit two families very well. Location is perfect ... 1/2 a block and you are at a small park, ideal for watching the sun burn into the Pacific every evening. Head East a few blocks and you are on the 101 with all the coffee shops, restaurants and shopping you can handle. And Moonlight Beach is only a quick couple of blocks away.
Beautiful home in great location.
It's nice to have to separate living areas- would be nice to have an umbrella in the outdoor space for the afternoon sun.
Lovely home , wonderful owner who takes great pride in her property. Close walk to the beach and restaurants. Would stay again! The best yet!
Very clean and modern. 2 separate houses worked great for our family. The location in Encinitas couldn't be better, the beach and downtown are easy walking distance. We will be back.
A group of 5 women stayed here for a girls weekend. The house has high end amenities and super comfortable beds as well as cruiser bikes and beach chairs. It had everything we could want and more. It is just a short walk to coffee and to the main street with all the shops and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again.
The home was very beautiful with a great kitchen! We loved it. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because it was not as clean as expected. Bathroom mats were not washed and extra blankets were not washed. The kitchen had lots of ants that we had to take care of. Overall we had a great stay.
This house is a short walk to the beach, stores, places to eat etc. We loved it! It was great being able to eat and hangout in the backyard after a long day at the beach. Perfect house!
