Private Pool * Ocean Views * Beach Across The Street!

Just had the best mini vacation before our 7 yo starts school tomorrow. Stayed 4 nights and could have definitely stayed more. The house is BEAUTIFUL. It's large, well kept, and very organized. It has everything you'd need and want for a relaxing and majestic vacation with your family or friends. The beds were very comfortable. The layout of the house was fun and wonderful. The private pool was amazing (heated so perfect temp to swim in at night and in morning). We walked to the beach each day and the drive to a nice swimming beach was only 5 minutes. Highly recommend drinking your morning coffee on the balcony and ordering or making dinner and eating it on the balcony during sun set. We spent a full day at the house on Saturday (no going out or beach time) and it was incredible. The ping pong table board games offered endless fun and each tv has different streaming platforms you can put on when the kids need a break (and the parents too :) ). The stairs in the house were really kid-friendly in my opinion. My 2 year old walked up and down the stairs really easily and safely with the railings. Never felt concerned about falling down the stairs. We ordered our own groceries and made breakfast and lunch each day in the HUGE kitchen. Another enjoyable aspect was the bamboo outside that you could enjoy while eating a meal at the dining room table. OH - and the house offers surf boards and boogies boards, beach umbrellas, towels, and beach toys for guests and we used it all!

We took the family- older adult children, their spouses, and our 2 grandchildren. We moved our daughter into Cal State San Marcos early in the trip and it was an easy 25 minute drive there. We really enjoyed the large balcony patio with ocean views and watching the surfers coming through each morning and all day. We also spent a little bit of time in the small private pool that has a nice lagoon step for small ones or lounging. The ping pong table was fun and the open living area/kitchen allowed us all to enjoy family time with plenty of space for the grand babies to play too! GrandView Beach is steps away but this beach is mostly rocks and meant for surfing. However, 15 minutes away is one of the best beaches we’ve visited, especially for the grand babies- Moonlight Beach. We walked to dinner and a really cool craft brewery which were easy 10-15 minute walks from the home. It seemed like anything you wanted to do was an easy 15-30 minute drive- escape rooms, restaurants, you name it. There was parking inside the gate for 2 cars. The left is reserved for the owners who stay in the back unit. They were all very friendly and hospitable. There are plenty of towels, including beach towels. The kitchen has all you need to cook. Overall, I don’t think you can find a better place with the view, amenities, and mainly location for the price. Would definitely recommend.

The stay was amazing. It was the perfect getaway weekend trip to celebrate my mom's big 80th birthday as a family. The house had all the amenities and then some. The kids had a blast using the pool every day, which was their favorite part. The beach just down the street and local shops and eateries are close by within walking distance as well. Beautiful sunsets were enjoyed each night on the upstairs balcony with a glass of wine in my mom's hand each time. It's unfortunate that the house across the street has a high-level second story, limiting the ocean views. We were fortunate to meet the owner, Rick, an awesome guy who was able to show us how to turn on the pool jet and waterfalls...thanks again Rick and Julie! Overall, their home was exquisite and I would definitely like to visit again, when possible. Thanks again for helping provide an amazing experience for our family and all of the awesome memories we had experienced together for my mom's 80th birthday weekend celebration!

Beautiful house with everything you need for a great vacation. Pool is decent size and bigger than we expected. Beach access across the street. Lots of restaurants in the area. Very California experience with surfers passing along the street to the beach all day. Definitely recommend.

Great location, and a wonderful home very close to the ocean.

We had a blast! The house is perfectly located near the GrandView Beach entrance, and the pool and ping pong table were perfect for the kids! I loved the gated driveway - it made us feel secure in an already safe area in Encinitas. The upper story offered awesome Sunset views and a great ocean breeze! All was clean and well stocked when we arrived (towels, blankets, sheets, etc.) and was nicely clean. The owners in the back are cool surfers whose vibe transcends the place - super cool vibe. An amazing week in a surfer's paradise!

This was a great house for our family of 4 - more than enough space, comfortable, walkable to restaurants/shopping, VERY short walk to the beach, waves were nice for surfing too. The front porch with its view of the ocean was where we spent most of our time when we were at the house. Ping pong table was great (and I won the family championship!) Ammenities are great. Super cool and clean bathrooms. Loved the outdoor shower too! Fisher who lives in the adjoining apartment was a really nice kid who made us feel welcome. I'll leave only one tiny recommendation just to make the review credible - owners should consider stocking up on more shampoos and soaps for the showers. I mean, that's a tiny detail and the only remotely un-great feature I can think of. This one is a winner! Scott

We had an amazing stay in Encinitas property right near Grandview beach. The house was managed by Surf Style, who communicated well & was available after hours for emergencies though thankfully we didn't have any. The house was super clean and exceeded our expectations. We were pleased to meet the owners family, the NICEST people and so helpful. Will definitely stay at this house again!

Overall this was a beautiful home and location. The view was amazing and proximity to the beach was only yards away, however there are 120 steps to get down to the beach so it wouldn’t be good for elderly or disabled individuals. The house was spacious with a great kitchen. The Bbq was dirty and kept flaring up so I cleaned the old grease out. The pool was too cold to swim in; it would be nice if it was heated, maybe some solar panels or something could take care of it. The hot tub was nice. The owners’ twenty something son was there with his 4-5 friends the entire time and they were all very nice but a little noisy as their area was directly above the master bedroom and they were up past midnight walking around. Plus the entrance to the owners area was through the hot tub area so if you’re out there at night it can be a bit off setting to have a young man there bringing beer up at 10:00 at night, but again they were very nice. I would definitely stay here again but would see if it’s possible to not have the kids there at the same time.

We enjoyed spending this time with family and had plenty of room to spread out. We had so much fun in the pool and the ping pong table was great! We felt very safe in spite of Covid 19. We had a problem with the second bathroom as the shower would only run scalding hot water so could not be used. The first time we called the property manager, the person was not very accommodating. He finally agreed to send a plumber but instead a handyman came in the afternoon and said it could not be fixed because the faucet needed a special part. We called the property manager the next morning and they sent someone else out who said the same thing. The shower was never repaired so we had one shower for 6 people. I reached out to the property manager when I returned home and they agreed to give me a slight refund. Overall though, we enjoyed our stay and the property!
