Great location, worth a stay!

Very well-appointed unit in a fantastic location. Just footsteps away from main strip of restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping in downtown Encinitas and then a few minute walk to a beautiful beach. Unit is perfect for a couple trying to get away for a quick trip in the area.

Joe's place was perfect for 3 nights in Encinitas for my daughter and me. The space was very clean and comfortable, and the location can't be beat ... so close to the beach, restaurants ... and tacos. Would definitely return.

A really nice property

We have stayed in a number of VRBOs in the Encinitas area. This is among the best. The location can’t be beat with easy walking access to restaurants, etc on the 101 as well as Moonlight Beach. The unit appears to have been purpose built as a segregated part of the main house. It is ideal for a couple. Being attached to the main house, we occasionally heard a little sound from the owners, but probably less than one would experience in a hotel. You will hear the train in the morning at the station a few blocks away. Again, nothing really disturbing. The furnishings are nice. The utensils, etc. appear to have been purchased for the unit, not someone’ castoffs. The microwave was broken, but we didn’t need to use it anyway. Parking on the street is sometimes difficult, especially on the weekends, but Joe is accommodating, allowing the use of one side of the driveway if needed.

Great Moonlight Beach stay

This Encinitas property was a great find. Everything was as described and it was a wonderful accommodation as respite from our remodel at home. Our host let us know he was very available as needed. What a great walkable neighborhood to the beach, coffee, restaurants etc. We are definitely planning a return!

Great location near Moonlight Beach

We enjoyed our stay. The beach and Moonlight Beach Park are just a short walk, as are restaurants and shops. Although we drove, the rail line station is also close by. The unit is comfortable and well appointed. We took advantage of the beach chairs, boogie boards, and the wagon to tote them. We were happy with our choice.
