The locals believe the beaches in Encinitas are some of the best-kept secrets in the North County Coastal region. There is a healthy beach culture thriving here that invites you to lay back and enjoy what the southern California coast has to offer. Moonlight Beach is one of the most popular and is 0.7 miles away. D Street Beach is where the surfers are amongst the beautiful bluffs (lots of stairs down, beautiful views from the top) and is located 0.5 miles away. Swami`s beach is mentioned in the Beach Boys` wave anthem, `Surfing USA` and is located 0.5 miles away and is thought of as a premier destination for those who take riding the waves seriously. All 3 of these beach access points are within walking distance.

The entire Encinitas beach area has the restaurants, shops, yoga studios, and new-age meditation gardens you would expect of an environment dedicated to peaceful, easy feelings. The Main Street is 2 short blocks from the home.

    yes, its pet friendly. there is no fence but there is easily could be. the location is awesome. Park you car and walk everywhere. the only negative I could give is the one bathroom is very dated. shower/tub is pretty small faucets are pretty pathetic. But everything else was awesome.

    Spent five days with my two middle school aged kids. Short walk to the beach and to all the good restaurants and shops in downtown Encinitas. Would stay again.

    Really great location. Very clean and comfortable. Be mindful that there are stairs and a steep driveway if you have disabled or older relatives visiting this could be a challenge. No complaints - this area is really very walkable and it's a lovely location - porch with hot tub was great. Neighborhood was reasonably quiet at night. Management company very clear and communicative.
