About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

2-blocks to Moonlight Beach, Private Yard, AC, bikes, Over 200 5-star reveiws

We are cleaning all surfaces with EPA-registered household disinfectants. You will not be sharing surfaces with others as you do with Condo complexes and hotels.

After your first visit, you will want to come back year after year..........look at the many reviews. Encinitas permit #RNTL-007074-2016.

The 1 bedroom unit is very clean and has granite counter tops, fully tiled shower, landscaped private backyard, large dedicated parking spot right in-front, and Air Conditioning which is unusual for most rentals in the area.

Located in a quiet area just just 2 blocks from famous Moonlight Beach, and 4 blocks old-town Encinitas. Encinitas is considered by many as one of the true gem beach areas in the county, providing many niche eating and shopping options.

Amenities include a queen sized bed, stone floor, and the entertainment system includes a 50 inch flat screen TV with access to see and record on DVR all local and standard cable channels, plus Netflix. Sit in your private backyard and have a meal the patio table.

We have had great feedback, just check out the comments left by our guests.

HOUSE RULES: No smoking on property including backyard, must be over 25 yrs old (or approval needed via email), no events, no parties, quiet after 10pm.

Moonlight is one of the most popular beaches in North County San Diego, with facilities that include restrooms, showers, volleyball courts, fire pits, beach rentals , children’s playground, and even a great snack bar! If you want a more secluded beach, just walk about 100 yards north or south on the beach.

Walk into downtown Old Encinitas and eat at one of the many great restaurants or shop at the small unique shops.

The unit has complete set of dishes, linens, towels, beach chairs, umbrella, and wifi. Also has private washer and dryer. Drip coffee maker with filters.

There is no bath tub, so for small children, it may not be a great place.

We are dog-friendly. The unit is best suited for small to mid-size dogs.

House Rules:
Must me over 25 years old unless I specifically approve
No events or parties.
No smoking in unit or in backyard.
Quite time after 10pm, this is a quiet neighborhood
Dogs can not be left alone (inside or outside) if they bark.
Couch needs to be covered if you have a dog, and not allowed on bed

If this unit is booked for the time you want it, look at my other VRBO properties (#4054307, #821584 and #1537733) which are both 2 bedrooms and also located just a few blocks to the beach in Oceanside, just 10 miles north of this unit.

Great location in Encinitas
My husband and I enjoyed an 11 night stay at this property. It was comfortable and had all the amenities one would need to cook and also enjoy a big screen HD TV with lots of channels (the World Series was on!). Our host was very easy to communicate with and we had no problems with anything except we did need some help with the TV as it was a bit complicated for us from another country. All in all, highly recommend this property for a great beach/Southern CA holiday.

Encinitas
Positives: everything worked, provided all basics (lots of extra towels), A/C worked well, close to the beach and coffee shops, TV had streaming and TV stations, separate bedroom with closet space and bureau that both suitcases fit on top of, forceful shower wand Negatives: bathroom much too small, couldn't open door unless you got in next to the commode and shower, when I sat down the toilet paper dispenser rubbed my shoulder, it is very difficult to get in and out of, clumsy and probably impossible for a heavyset person to use.The walk to the beach is about 2-2 1/2 short blocks but one of the blocks is mostly downhill/uphill so difficult if you older or have some mobility issues. Property is worn but clean.

Confusing communication, not pet friendly
Really wanted to like this property, especially since the location is perfect. Unfortunately we had the following complaints. I'm only providing them to inform future guests. 1. The address on VRBO takes you to the wrong location and the owner sends a PDF with the correct address, along with other instructions. 2. Owners live IN THE HOME and great you when you arrive. We like to rent a VRBO for privacy and didn't expect to feel like we were staying in someones basement. 3. They claim to be pet friendly, but were visibly upset that we had dog hair on our clothes (We had been in the car with the dog on our lap for 8 hours) 4. Perhaps the largest issue. There is a motion light that spooked our dog a couple times at night. When I say spook, I mean that the dog barked 2-3 times before we could hush him and he stopped (the dog was indoors). Each time this happened the owner called and texted both of our phones, telling us to keep the dog quite. Our dog doesn't bark often or for long periods of time and we've never received a complaint from owners or neighbors before. (4-5 VRBO stays per year). The fact that we were receiving calls at 1:00am, for 10 seconds of barking, was absolutely unacceptable and enough for me to write this review. When I spend money to rent a private home, I don't want to feel like I'm being monitored by the owner upstairs. If none of the above concerns you, the location is great, the home was clean and cozy. We simply won't be staying again.

Wonderful accommodation in a great location
We were so happy to find this clean and cozy place with everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked and the bed was comfortable. We were two blocks from Midnight Beach and less than a 1/2 mile walk to restaurants and activities. It was also less than a 20 minute drive to Carlsbad Village and 30 minutes to several good golf courses. We had bikes, beach chairs and laundry facilities available. The host was on site (but on the other side of the property) and very responsive if we needed anything. We will likely stay here again when we visit friends in the area.
