Feet in the surf in 2 minutes! most walkable neighborhood at the beach and AC!

The house was perfect for us. Close to the beach, great neighborhood, and the front courtyard area was awesome. Our toddler had the best time.

Just as advertised. Beach cottage in residential neighborhood. Outdoor amenities were outstanding. Host was friendly and available if needed. Everything worked. Definitely would return

Perfect location for a beach getaway!

Very clean, kitchen was ready for meals to be made, the washer and dryer in the garage was very nice to have.It felt so cozy. The couch was soooo comfy! Though it has one we never turned the tv on.Our Host, we found out, lives right next door! Very nice guy. Very helpful. We will be staying here again if we ever do visit Encinitas again.

We absolutely loved our stay at this charming beach cottage in Encinitas! The location is perfect—peaceful yet just a short walk to the beach, with shops and great restaurants nearby. The cottage itself is cozy and comfortable, ideal for a relaxing getaway. The inviting yard was a wonderful spot to enjoy morning coffee or evening dinner, adding to the laid-back beach vibe. Our host was incredibly friendly and communicative, making check-in and our entire stay seamless and welcoming. Truly a hidden gem—we can’t wait to return for another great stay!

I can not say enough wonderful things about this house. Our family agreed that the only thing we did not like is that we had to leave. It had everything we wanted (including boogie boards, beach chairs/umbrellas, sand toys) an I appreciate not needing to bring or buy those items. We’ll be back for sure.

One of our favorite vacation stays--excellent host and experience! Everything about this rental and host is above and beyond five stars and recommend with great enthusiasm!

My family of four stayed here for the weekend and it was exactly what we needed. We have a 2 and 3 year old, and both loved the house and slept great. My 3 year old even cried when we got home and said “I want to go back to the yellow home.” Next time we’re vacation in the SD area, we’ll most likely look to see if this is available.

My husband and dogs enjoyed staying at this cute little cottage in a wonderful area for walkinexploring.

This home has a perfect location in a quiet neighborhood. Easy walk to the beach and a coffee shop. The house is equipped with everything you could need. The host is awesome, the dryer stopped working and he had it fixed within a few minutes of me texting him.

Wonderful stay. Everything we could want from a little beach house. Properly management was wonderful to work with. Great value. Thank you.

Quick walk to Stone Steps Beach. Uncluttered beach cottage that has all you need.

This place was fantastic for our family. We stayed here for 10 days over christmas. It was me, my husband, and our two boys ages 7 and 4. We were easy walking distance to the beach and shops and restaurants in the area. Yes, small kid distance walking to the beach. It was a dream! The beds were comfortable, it was easy to do laundry, and the kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy. I think it included 2 bikes but we didn't use them. The outdoor living space is like another living room. We accidentally broke part of her ceiling fan and we immediately texted her and she was so gracious and didn't charge us extra. The owner was so sweet and communicative. We would love to come back!

Property manager helpful. House was clean and spacious and well equipped with everything that you would need.

We always love Encinitas and this house was perfect- quiet (very little train noise!), heat pump, front private patio, garage with 3 bikes to use (owner even fixed a flat tire so I could use it), close to Stone Steps to get down to beach, close to Pannikin Coffee, pickleball courts and great great ice cream! We’re already booking for next year!

My 17 year-old son and I stayed for the week. This place was perfect for us. It had everything we needed. The location is ideal. It is only a 3-minute walk to the staircase that leads to the beach. Tons of great restaurants in Encinitas are just a short drive away. Galyn was a great host - communication was great, even turned the AC on for us before arrival. This house would be perfect for a couple's trip or a family with a couple of young children. Highly recommend!

This property is everything you could hope for if you are looking to escape the fast-paced grind and reconnect with nature, your family, and yourself. The front yard is an inviting oasis that greats you with sunny plants and ample space. The house provides all the creature comforts, with large rooms, spacious living areas, and a nicely appointed kitchen. The host provides everything you could need, even things you didn't even consider, like bikes, boogie boards and umbrellas. As great as the house is, the major draw for us was the very short walk to the Stone steps and the beach. We barely used our car as the neighborhood was walkable and peaceful and offered shops, restaurants, and tons of coffee options. We were so taken we are planning to return next summer for a longer stretch. I don't want to say too much more, or this little gem might not be available!
