Fantastic Location!

Wow! We will be coming back to this property. My family loved staying here. We walked to Moonlight beach, the park, and all over the town of Encinitas. There are so many places in the house to sleep and relax. The owner was so responsive and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for the perfect beach getaway.

Family gettaway

The place was perfect for our family get-together. Kitchen was nicely stocked with the essentials for cooking. Lovely big dining table for us all to have dinner together. Lots of spaces for hangouts without being on top of one another. The proximity to the beach, park and shops could not have been better. I would be thrilled to return one day. It was a really special vacation.

Amazing property with incredibly thoughtful host

Our group absolutely loved staying at this property. The home is beautiful, clean, and very spacious, and is only a few minutes walk from the beach. The host is also incredibly attentive, responsive, and even dropped off donuts from a famous local pastry shop for our group. I can't speak highly enough of this rental!

Amazing Location & Great Home

We had an extra long weekend with our adult kids and their partners + two grand-babies. This house was perfect for us. It’s half block to the beach and a great playground. One block from the start of “downtown Encinitas”. Completely walkable to everything you could want. The 2Q room was perfect for the family of four; we used the other three Q bedrooms for couples; and the master-K for us. They built a twin-bunk into the walk-in closet of the 2Q room (great use of space!). There is a bathroom for each bedroom! We spent a lot of time on the deck and bbq’d twice. Relatively quiet neighborhood. The kitchen was fantastically large and we loved that the dining table could seat us all. The house was furnished as pictured and lacked for nothing. The home could us a little TLC here and there, but overall, we were very pleased and would definitely stay here again. This home had the old-school VRBO vibe with a pantry full of spices and random goodies left from previous renters. A++

Getaway by the Shore

The Modern Beach House was the perfect place for our extended family to enjoy a relaxed vacation. The kitchen/living room/dining room were all part of a large שרק so we could all be together when prepping meals. The house is very well equipped for fun at the beach. Any issues that came up were quickly dealt with by our host Rebecca.

Great summer beach house

We had a blast in Encinitas this weekend and would love to stay again! It was awesome that there were so many beach items available for us to use and we barely needed to use any of our personal items. Rebecca is a great host and so jealous of her property. I guess the only bummer was that there wasn’t a jacuzzi anymore but that was minor with all the activities we had planned.

Spacious beach house close to beach

Very spacious beach house, multilevel. Everyone loved it ( 8 adults, 6 children from 11 mos. to 10 years). Large dining table for 12, sitting area outside of every bedroom. Good communication with the owner. Lots of beach toys, chairs and wagon.

A Week with a View

Very spacious with many amenities. We had a great time at the beach (easy walk), getting great ice cream and bakery treats (3 block walk), and enjoying family meals--either grilled on grill provided or brought in from several nearby restaurants. Also some wonderful memories of putting a jigsaw puzzle together and playing games. With an easy block of one stairway, our crawling baby enjoyed being here as well as giving all the family fun watching him. Stairs are plentiful, however, so not the best for someone with limited mobility.

Beautiful house at the beach

This was a perfect house with a great location for our family. Layout of the house is great. Great views. Patio was fantastic to watch the sunset. It is 2 blocks from shopping/dining in Encinitas and 1 block to beautiful Moonlight beach. Only complaint is close proximity of train which generally stopped running by 9 pm and did not start up until around 6 AM. The family staying in the downstairs bedrooms did not hear the train. Overall great house. Would definitely stay again in the future.

Location location location

The location was incredibly close to beautiful Moonlight Beach. Encinitas it’s self is a delightful and delicious place to visit. We were very comfortable in this property with 10 adults and 6 children. The beach wagon and abundance of beach towels was a pleasant and well used amenity. The property has several high end features, but is beach house comfortable. We had been concerned about parking for a large van, but street parking was always available when we needed it. We also parked a mini van in the garage. The property manager was very accessible.

Awesome Location

Wonderful location close to the beach and super convenient to shopping and dining. Very responsive owner who let us check in early and delay (slightly) our check-out to deal with all the travel problems that Southwest Airlines caused this holiday season! For families with different age groups, there is a master suite on the same level as the kitchen/living/dining, and the other bedrooms are all downstairs. The bunk bed room is pretty tiny but would work for kids. There are multiple levels outside as well. Ample seating at the dining table for a large group and lots of room in the kitchen for multiple cooks to work simultaneously. Huge fridge and great Wolf range!
