Great stay , beautiful home
Had everything we needed, was super clean and well appointed. The only issue we had was that the internet would drop at times, not sure this was in the owner's control so we didn't contact anyone about it. the house was gorgeous! Would stay there again.

The home was very well kept and all items for a four day stay were in place. True ocean view from top-deck and nice back yard. This was one of the best homes we've chosen over the years. Hope to come back. The owner communicated well. Thanks George! Matthew S.

Great stay!
The house is nicely updated and well equipped. It’s in a nice neighborhood that is close to downtown Encinitas and the freeway as well as the beach. The only thing I would mention is that there is a natural gas smell in the garage. It’s not that strong and the owner was very responsive when I mentioned it and came to check it with a meter. We loved our stay overall.
