Reviewer Comments:
This house is in a great location. We walked for coffee every morning, to the beach, all around Encinitas for meals and shopping. The fruit trees in the back yard are such a bonus! We ate oranges, lemons and avocados! We either went to the beach or could watch the beautiful sunset from the front window. This house is very well maintained with comfortable furniture and beds. We would definitely stay here again!

Reviewer Comments:
We stayed a week at the Coastal Cottage and it was wonderful. The property was clean and had everything we needed. No a/c, but opening the front and back doors for the cross breeze was the best! Upon arrival and initial walk-through, we realized a few items were broken - a hinge on one of the cabinet doors and the rear door lock wasn’t functioning. We also noticed a significant amount of dirt and sand inside the hot tub - the water was very dirty. I reported these items to the management company right away and they not only responded quickly, but had someone out the next day to fix things. It did take 2 days for them to get the hot tub cleaned. The location was great and the neighborhood was incredibly safe. Highly recommend!
