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.
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!
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!
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. You can’t be going to the beach every day, so thanks again for the great stay you guys I will see you soon!
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.
My sister and I stayed at the property and it was absolutely perfect! The casita was quiet and the location was perfect. We will definitely stay here again!
We stayed the week here & was good central location for going into San Diego or visit north to LA -the weather was great & host was ready to answer any questions we had -highly recommend this awesome Getaway!

Great stay here
We stayed here just over a week and really enjoyed it. The decor is beautiful and so are the grounds. The owner was extremely helpful and accommodating when there was sudden change to our arrival date. I would stay here again.
Just spent 5 nights at this lovely little Casita. Had a relaxing time and loved the location! Walking distance to downtown Encinitas, Moonlight Beach and some amazing restaurants. The Casita is located at the end of very private street, was fully equipped with everything that you could need.

Stunning apartment
The Casita was beautifully decorated and maintained. We had lots of privacy and were just a 5 min drive or 20 min walk to the beach and downtown area.

Beautiful home away from home
Wonderful relaxing casita with coastal feel. Close in to beaches and many great restaurants. Lovely furnishings and special thoughtful touches to make you feel at home, We loved having Henri the family pooch decide we were worthy of visiting. We would recommend the casita to anyone seeking a peaceful place to just relax and also visit Encinitas which is a great small beach town.

Wonderful stay - great architecture, furnishings, art and supplies.
And Eric is there to help. Plus lovely garden plantings. Very enjoyable haven which is an easy drive to everything.
The casita was super comfortable and very easy to access. Our host was great and very friendly. They have a dog that is super sweet but as long as you ignore him he’ll just mind is own business. Location is walking distance to moonlight beach and downtown Encinitas. Would highly recommend staying here
Nice stay in Encinitas. Doris and Eric were helpful and made my stay pleasant. This property is unique and Beautiful. Bravo the boxer was absolutely wonderful and he was an added bonus.

Lovely hideaway!
Charming 2nd floor casita with full kitchen, balcony/patio, comfortable queen-size bed and convenient location. Host was considerate, the casita was clean, spacious and nicely appointed. Enjoyed this unit very much.
Loved staying in the Casita in Encinitas. It is close to everything we needed;shops, restaurants, and surf! Beach chairs and beach towels were a bonus, and Eric was super nice with checking in on us to see if we needed anything during our stay. There is construction right next door, and they start working pretty early,but that was not a huge issue as I’m an early riser,and we were on the go visiting family and all of San Diego! Will definitely stay here again when visiting San Diego!

A Wonderful Place!
Such a wonderful place set in a great location. Beautiful, well equipped and extremely comfortable place to stay in pretty Encinitas. The only thing we were disappointed with was the absence of Henry the dog! Such a lovely place, we hope to return soon. Thanks :)
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.
