Mediterranean Villa: ocean breezes, walk to beach, serene location.

The property was great! House could easily have accomodated more than the 7 of us (2 children, 5 adults). Great location, with a nice stroll to the beach (and a great ice cream shop on the way back). Pool and hot tub were great. Only issue: a neighbor complained about noise in mid-afternoon that definitely was not loud, then had the temerity to start power washing his/her house early the next morning.

We hate to give such a bad review to a place we loved the last time we went, but this time the owner stayed in the caretakers home which is 2 feet from the stairs of the pool and would not leave us alone. We were continually scolded for our Grandchildren laughing ,jumping and splashing in the pool to the point they didn't want to swim anymore. My son and his family who live in CA. came to visit us and when their kids were in the pool we were told the pool is only for four people total-that was never explained to us on the web site and was not enforced the previous visit. If you will not be using the pool or hot tub and you don't mind the owner 2ft. away constantly monitoring you-you will love this place.

I stayed here with my partner, my 3 granddaughters, and my daughter in-law. We loved the home, which has a lot of space, beautiful artwork, contemporary decor, and great pool. The children stayed mostly in the pool. The kitchen has everything you need and more to whip up a fast meal. There are several large smart tvs, and all spaces were comfortable. Location is central to all we needed. The caretaker is very discreet and is not an issue to have on property. There are many adult bikes—not easy to ride or walk to beach with highways. Recommend a car. Everything worked with a few exceptions like the jetted tub, pool lights, and we could not figure out how to unlock the ping pong table. I believe those will be repaired. If you enjoy an upscale environment, this is it.

Beautiful property, but a very uncomfortable experience.While the home is gorgeous, clean, and in a great location, our stay was extremely stressful due to the behavior of the owner and the atmosphere on the property.The listing states the owner lives nearby, but in reality, she lives on-site and was constantly monitoring our presence. We received repeated complaints—even during quiet hours—creating a sense of being watched and unwelcome throughout the trip. It was difficult to relax, and the level of oversight felt intrusive.We were also confronted by a neighbor who used aggressive language toward us while we were in the backyard. At the same time, multiple neighboring homes hosted loud gatherings, there was ongoing construction nearby that made the pool area dusty. All while we were asked to remain nearly silent, to the point where our children were whispering outside.Midway through our trip, the owner escalated things by contacting VRBO with what we believe were inaccurate claims, adding unnecessary stress to an already tense situation.While the property itself is beautiful, we cannot recommend it to families or anyone looking for a peaceful, private getaway.

Perfect !!!

We loved the house. We had 4 adults and 4 kids and everyone had plenty of space and all enjoyed cooking and meals at the house. The backyard is amazing, and photos of the home don’t do it justice. Very sweet owners and the manager was very helpful as well. Will definitely stay here again!

Clean, well-stocked, and high quality experience.

Well appointed house with everything you could possibly need! Very clean and well maintained. Also an excellent kitchen that had everything we needed for a group that likes to cook. We would definitely book this house again!

We stayed a week and loved it. The backyard is simply amazing. The pool, spa, and outdoor fireplace are fun and relaxing. The house has pretty much everything you need and more. My husband is a runner and liked running in the area. We loved the games, toys and books for adults and kids. There are bikes but we didn't get a chance to ride them. The instruction notebook that comes with the house is the best I've. Just one of many helpful items - it includes detailed descriptions of the area beaches so you can pick just the right one. Our group of 10 fit perfectly in the 5 bedrooms. It was so nice that each pair had their own room. We all had privacy - no one was stuck sleeping on sofa sleeper out in a public area of the house. The communication with host was fantastic and responsive. The managers live in an ADU in backyard but they give you complete privacy. We only saw them once, briefly and never heard them. But, it was nice to have them close at hand if we needed anything. We originally booked for 7 people. I needed to add 3 more people and add an extra day. The host quickly accommodated our change. It was a fantastic vacation. We will stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay in Encinitas. The house is lovely and spacious, with amenities that make a vacation seamless. Moreover, our hosts have thought of everything. Beach umbrellas, chairs, sand toys, etc. was ready in waiting, which made for easy excursions to the beach. Check-in and check-out was a breeze - really appreciated their house guide which explained remotes, lighting, spa use - you name it. This is the perfect spot for a family reunion, summer getaway, or weekend with friends. Cannot begin to recommend enough.
