One block off the historic coast highway 101 & behind a white picket fence, your home greets you like a calming, blue ocean wave. Settle in to this cozy beach neighborhood that comes alive with walkers, surfers, and bikers headed to the beach, 1.5 blocks away. Fresh, modern chic, and beachy, Beach Blue was designed for vacationers to feel relaxed and on vacation. Cool blues and bright yellows remind you of water and sun: quite possibly the reason you are visiting Southern California!

    We loved this house! Lovely little extra touches (extra soft throws) and all the important things (fireplace, comfy bed, huge master bath). We walked to the beach and great restaurants nearby. Great location near UCSD. Owners even had it decorated for the holidays. Would definitely stay here again.

    Stephanie’s house was absolutely lovely and clean. It had everything we could have asked for for a week-long trip with family. We went to beach morning and afternoon, and enjoyed local restaurants. We would definitely love to return!

    Great house a block from the beach- very clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed for 2 weeks stay. Well labeled and organized. Good notes and interesting facts throughout the home. Laundry was easy and accessible. Would love a drying rack for suits or tshirts. Beds comfortable- tvs work well. Great for a long or short stay. Can’t beat the location. Owner is very friendly and always reachable;) can’t wait to return;))

    Best rental we’ve ever stayed at. House was clean, well stocked and super-organized. Lots of little welcoming touches that made us feel right at home. Our 1.5 year old grandson loved the Christmas tree and playing with all the toys. Stephanie is a SUPER HOST! Thank you! Steve & Allison

    My family chose to come to Encinitas to all get together and the Blue House was such a delight! Stephanie was a fantastic host, very communicative and pleasant and was diligent in making our stay as relaxing as possible! The home is located in a beautiful walkable neighborhood which was my main priority, close to the beach, restaurants, shops. I also really appreciated the extras the house provided, especially for the little ones! A pack n’ play and a high chair we’re available, books, toys, and all the beach toys, wagon, and wetsuits were so fantastic, not to mention the outdoor shower that helped keep the kids and the house clean. The house was great for gathering and family meals. The kitchen was organized and easy to find your way around when cooking, we all fit at the large dining table, and the fireplace made for a cozy evening when it was chilly out. Thanks for a great stay Stephanie! Hoping to be back one day soon!

    Super clean and spacious property for 5 family members. Located within walking distance of many great restaurants and coffee shops. An easy drive to neighboring towns, La Jolla and San Diego. We enjoyed the air hockey table and electric commuter bikes. Stephanie was a perfect host and very responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommended!

    We shared this lovely, well-located, super-equipped home for a week with my sister & brother-in-law. The kitchen had everything we could possible need for cooking—including a Vitamix, spices, EVERYTHING!! Stephanie was a responsive & friendly host! The house was equipped with beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels & even a wagon. She even had yoga mats & blocks (with cleaning spray) that we used at one of the many nearby yoga studios. The location was ideal for morning walks, beach walks, & an easy walk to the many restaurants, coffee shops & stores in Leucadia & Encinitas! Impeccably clean, comfortable, with high-end towels, sheets, shower supplies! We would definitely stay there again!! Stephanie made everything SO EASY!!

    While the rain attempted to thwart our short get away, we still had a lovely time! Very close to the beach and walkable to coffee shops and stops. Lots of areas to lounge around the house with books, puzzles, tv, etc when the rain kept us indoors. Stephanie was easily available when we had a question. Great weekend with my sister and mom!
