Summary:
All the beauty of Southern California is at your fingertips at Hidden Zen, an expansive 4-bedroom home in eclectic Encinitas.

The Space:
With views of the magnificent Pacific Ocean right from the home’s third floor covered balcony, you will stay connected to both sun and surf whether you’re spending fun-filled days at the beach or finding some downtime in one of the home’s many comfortable living spaces. A large and private garden surrounds you outdoors, with lush native greenery offering serene and shaded spaces. Patios on the ground and second floor are equipped with ample seating and dining options whether you’re looking to take a meal al fresco or simply bathe in the sun or shade while catching up on your reading. When you’re ready to head down to the sand, you are just one mile away from the beach, making trips back and forth as breezy as the ocean air.

Inside the home, a bright, open floor plan provides unlimited opportunities for you and your guests to find your own private corner to unwind, yet blend seamlessly with spaces to gather and stay connected. Two separate living spaces offer plentiful sofa and armchair seating surrounding smart TVs for an immersive movie night or perhaps a quiet afternoon nap. The generous, well-equipped kitchen is bordered by two separate dining rooms should you choose to take your meals indoors. The first with seating for 8 and facing double-door access out to the patio, and the other with seating for an additional 6. The kitchen itself is a chef’s dream with gorgeous countertops and stainless-steel appliances, inclusive of drip coffee maker and all the cookware and dining ware needed for whipping up delicious home cooked meals.

With so much to offer, it’s clear to see why Hidden Zen is the perfect location for your next California vacation!

Recently named among the 20 best surf towns in the world by National Geographic, Encinitas wears its surf history proudly. Located along six miles of the Pacific Ocean coastline, Encinitas is an unspoiled reminder of the historic Highway 101 beach culture that thrived in the mid-1900s. The city's eclectic downtown has long drawn surfers and hippies with its unique and dynamic blend of San Diego's top surf shops, coffeehouses, and record stores, not to mention the beaches in Encinitas are coveted by locals as hidden gems. Encinitas is alternately known as the Flower Capital of the World, because of its extensive collection of unique nurseries and gardens, most extensive of which is the San Diego Botanic Garden, and the world's leading grower of the Christmas flower, the poinsettia.

    Perfect for our group (8), plenty of space for everyone. Kitchen was very well stocked with dishes and cooking equipment. Everything was very clean. Would definitely stay again.

    This is a lovely place to stay. Great outdoor spaces, including a meditation garden with fountain and a balcony for two. Generously sized bedrooms with comfy beds, large living room area that was a great conversation spot, and very well-equipped kitchen. A lot more room than we needed for five adults, but the extra space was appreciated. Host was very responsive, gave us some good ideas for restaurants and beaches. The mile walk to the beach is accurate and a pleasant trip. Definitely a great Encinitas house and location.

    The patios, seating areas, and existing vegetation made the outdoor areas very pleasant and relaxing.

    Very private home. 10 minutes to Cardiff State beach. 5 minutes to The Taco Stand. Very clean. All bedrooms on first floor. Big open upstairs with nice kitchen. Nice deck area.

    Very spacious with lovely patio areas. Comfortable beds and furnishings. Quiet neighborhood. More than enough room for our group of 7 adults. House is best suited for two sets of adults in the master suites with children in the bedrooms sharing the Jack and Jill bath. One of those bedrooms had no place to hang clothes in the closet, only shelves, and no bedside tables and lamps We also would have liked a few more towel racks in the bathrooms. WiFi didn’t reach the two back bedroom suites though fine in other rooms of the house. Dishwasher worked but isn’t properly secured under the counter.

    Our family of 3 stayed for ECNL Playoffs and invited another player and her mother to stay with us. The house was much larger than we expected and had several pleasant patios. It was very quiet and had spaces for everyone to relax. The bedrooms are all downstairs but the entire first floor smelled of mildew. We weren't sure if the mildew smell emanated from the washing machine or something in the housekeeping closet. There were dehumidifying things around the first floor, so perhaps this is an ongoing issue in a house of a coastal town. The master bedroom memory foam mattress was too soft and sagged on one side. Upstairs seemed more updated and didn't smell of mildew, though not all the stove burners worked at the same time. We ended up ordering take out and going out to eat due to the stove. The contact person was responsive but there wasn't anything to be done during our 3 night stay. If the mildew odor issue was addressed, we would definitely stay again.

    Was very pleasantly surprised with the neighborhood and the home, which is perfect for a family gathering of three generations like ours on the occasion of a promotion to HS of one of our grandchildren. The neighborhood vibe is so much like ours in a seaside community in Santa Cruz County. We loved the crow’s nest, oversized bedrooms, open kitchen, oversized living area and the privacy afforded by trees/shrubs bordering the property. Will return as often as we can. Customer service was impeccable. Thanks for a memorable stay!!!

    We rented this home while attending a large family gathering. It was a great place to relax in and offered spaces for those who had to work online while there. It was also a lovely space in which to host extended family.

    We spent a fabulous week at this spacious and wonderful home! The house is just like it's advertised. The town of Encinitas is so cute and it's just a few shorts minutes to the beach. The house is well stocked, so it makes making meals at home so much easier. And they had beach accessories available as well. One big take away I hope they do, is the house is in desperate need of hooks in all the bathrooms. Since the house is so close to the beach, the rooms can feel damp, which doesn't help in drying towels after showering, so it was a bit frustrating when there was no place to hang anything - from hand towels to larger hooks for the larger bath towels. A cheap fix for a huge improvement. But, we would definitely rent this house again. We had the best time!

    Wish we were not so busy in the area so we could hang out at the house and in town a bit more. We traveled with extended family, there were six adults and two 8 year olds. Plenty of space for everyone.
