Cozy Setting

Small casitas for two with all the amenities. Nice seating area outside. Great shower and comfortable bed. Close to the freeway, but it didn't bother us. Enjoyed a full day at Moonlit Beach. Liked how convenient it was to get there from our place. Our son and daughter-in-law live in the area, so we are planning to be return guests.

Best place ever!

This place has everything anybody would ever want in a VRBO home! The kitchen has everything you need and the bed is super comfortable! This thing that stands out the most is Eric the Vrbo! He goes out of his way to make sure you stay is so comfortable! His dog is super friendly and us every day we come back home! The beach is so close you can walk or you can take the bike for a nice little ride! Such a beautiful place and great location! You don’t want to stay anywhere else! Enjoy!

Refresh

I stayed for 30 days and it felt like it went by in a week. It was located close to everything that you could need, most importantly the ocean and the unique town of Encinitas. By close, I mean walking distance! Doris and Eric were accessible and responsive making the logistics of the trip easy. Bravo, their dog, was a plus who was hard to leave, and I’m not a dog owner. All in all, a terrific stay for my peace of mind and well being!

Home Away From Home

We stayed here for 2 weeks. The Casita was sunny - never needed lights during the day due to so many windows, yet still felt private. Well-appointed so easy to find needed utensils for cooking, towels, laundry, etc. Host was communicative and hospitable, checking on us almost every day with recommendations of places to go, to eat, and things to do. Parking was easy. The 4-year old boxer was very friendly - we're dog lovers, but if you are not this might not be for you. The hard scape is beautiful and about a 15 minute walk to Moonlight Beach. There were a few minor issues, some of which were taken care of, some not. We would have liked (but not a deal killer) a full length mirror, a toaster oven, and a broom. There were plenty of other cleaning supplies. Overall, we have no problem recommending this place.

California the old school way

Great getaway spot in one of the best spots in North County. Eric and Bravo (Hosts) are awesome. The only bad thing about this property is the parking. Its not the hosts fault, but the neighbor. I have never met anyone so upset about a parking spot. Someone needs a hobby. Definitely will be going back to stay again.

So I stayed at the property for the whole month of August! I thought the location was great. It’s just right up the street from the beach Eric’s dog Bravo is great we visited a lot lol it was an easy check in. Eric is a really great host we got along great so all in all, I would stay there again I love the town of Encinitas And this place works just fine. It’s a real nice place. I really enjoyed myself.

Encinitas ADU

I loved the property, the owner, his kids and dog. The property has a very nice expensive architecture and landscaping and Encinitas is awesome. The only reason this is not 5 stars for everything is the proximity to the freeway. When you are inside you could consider it white noise, but outside it is pretty noisy. I would go back though.

Good Find Close to Moonlight Beach and Encinitas Town

I did not want to rent a car for my week-long stay so this property was nicely located within walking distance to the many of the cafes, restaurants, and beaches I wanted to explore. The property has a nice kitchen and is comfortable overall, with a great private porch. Owners were responsive to texting and questions. I recommend, especially if you like to walk rather than drive.

Grumpy and unpleasant host

The host was so grumpy, insulting, and unpleasant that I left after the first week of my intended month-long stay. Avoiding the host was not an alternative because he lives on the property and there were ongoing problems with his large, undisciplined dog who has free run of the property. The dog jumped up on me repeatedly when I was outside and frequently ran away when I opened the gate to take my car out. The host got angry with me when the dog got out and blamed me for the dog's misbehavior. He was unwilling to make reasonable accommodations, such as restraining the dog or putting him in the house during the few times of the day when I needed to use my car. Not being able to come and go without getting into a shouting match with host was not my idea of a relaxing stay at the beach.

Loved staying at the casita. Short walk to downtown, restaurants, grocery store and ocean. We love to walk so for us walking 1/2 mile to everything was easy. The casita has all your kitchen needs it really is well stocked. Eric who lives on the property that is separate from the casita, is very accessible and is very helpful.

Weekend wedding stay

Great mother in law apartment. Very loud. I-5 is REAL!!!. Bring ear plugs. I stayed here years ago. Did not remember it being this noisy. Bravo always made our day, we love dogs! Window cover on kitchen window would be nice as there is no bedroom door to close. The light from outside shine’s in your eyes while sleeping. Over all, close to town, beach etc. Great wedding and weather! Safe Property.
