Recent Encinitas vacation rental reviews

It’s all about the view and the sound of the waves with the double sliding doors. Pretty spectacular. Be ready to walk and take stairs as well as pay attention to the tide charts - all worth it. You can also get to Moonlight Beach by car easily. Our only complaint is the main couch is so slouchy we ended up with backaches. Not great but good lounging for a movie night. Beds were comfortable enough and the kitchen is decently stocked for most tastes. The development is nice - folks are super friendly.

The view from the living room and patio makes this property great. Also, it’s in a great location to walk to the beach either from Stone steps, access or moonlight. They had wonderful beach equipment that we utilized. The only criticism would be the orientation of the furniture. It was all facing away from the ocean. Would definitely stay again.

We had a fabulous stay at this home -- beautiful, modern house with the best views ever. Easy access to the beach. We loved it.

Where is Encinitas? 

This small town is perched about 25 miles north of San Diego in North County. The perfect place to see the California coast, you'll appreciate the convenient location of this charming city.

Things to do near your Encinitas rental 

Begin your day with a walk and self-meditation session at the Self Realization Fellowship Hermitage and Meditation Garden. Once your mind is at ease and your body centered, head to either of the two famous Encinitas Beaches—Moonlight Beach and Swami's Beach. After a lesson at Leucadia Surf School, pick your prime spot on the white sand for hours of endless adventure. From surfing to boogie boarding, building sandcastles to burying the kids (or adults) in the sand, and feeding the seagulls and yourself some delicious local food, you'll find plenty of ways to fill your afternoons. 

Numerous mouth-watering eateries are available, and the local grocery store's deli counter is known for its famous sandwiches. If you aren't feeling like going out, pick up some groceries for a homemade meal cooked in the comfort of your Encinitas vacation rental.

When bellies are full, rent a bike to cruise down the coast to San Elijo State Beach or Solana Beach. At each of these beautiful beaches, you can stop for shopping at some of the local boutiques. Once you've picked up some souvenirs, continue on past the Del Mar Race Track to the iconic village of Del Mar.
