Map & Owner's Profile
Ocean Front Beach House with Year Round Surfing and Golf
Year Purchased: 1998
Why the Owner Chose Encinitas
I fell in love with North Coast San Diego, especially between Del Mar and Carlsbad. I originally moved to San Diego from Orange County, CA when I worked in the hotel industry. Eventually, I started booking not only my property, but others and the business took off! We originally bought this property as an investment and rented it out long term, but found that the vacation rental business was better and easier to care for the property. This location is incredible, so central to San Diego and Orange County- and an easy drive to Los Angeles when the occasion is required. You can get to so many places in a reasonable amount of time from the north coast of San Diego.
The Unique Benefits at this House
This house has a really great floorplan with 50 linear feet over the oceanfront! It is so relaxing to be able to kick your shoes off, pour yourself a drink or glass of ice tea, make yourself lunch, and and watch everything happening from the convenience of your patio. Safe and secure, very private, and anywhere I want to go, I can get there within 5 minutes to an hour. We take our "child" Tiki (the maltese), for walks along the one way street of Neptune into Encinitas, or just a block over to Coast Highway for dining at the local restaurants. Or, we might just have our dinner oceanfront! The dining table and slate patio table are large for family and guests, and if it is cool outside, we "dine in" listening to the waves! A really great fireplace for cozy nights too! We love it, and so do all of our many guests. For those who like to cook, the kitchen has everything. For beach goers, supplies are provided; boogie boards, umbrella, etc. For BBQs, sitting over the oceanfront while you grill your dinner, it's great!!!
Summer fun, and great horse shows throughout the year! San Diego Fair happens in late June, then from mid-July to early September the thoroughbreds come to Del Mar

After 3 days at Disneyland, we welcomed the homey feeling of this wonderful house. I'm here with my mom Sue, Brother Matt and Husband Rick. We also have Matt's daughter. Delphi (3) and our 2 girls, Kara (7) and Kaylee (5). We were very busy these days going to the Zoo, Wildlife Park & Seaworld. We did make one day to relax here. We went to the beach and had a great time. The weather was somewhat cool, so we didn't brave the boogie boards, but we found lots of pretty rocks and shells. We enjoyed the surfers every night & morning. We also saw three dolphins and also a whale! It was very exciting. So now our journey has come to an end and it's time to go back to the hustle and bustle of regular life. If we ever make our way down here again, we will look Chris up and stay here. Thanks, Lisa Reeves, Eureka, Ca. Matt & Delphi- Felton, Ca.

We came here to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday, Esther. She had an unforgettable week and birthday. From the moment you walk in and see the beautiful ocean, you fall in love with this place. We had never felt as comfortable or relaxed as we have here. This is not a beach house, this is a beach home! Watching surfers, boats and dolphins never gets old. The fresh ocean air is so intoxicating and the local food is great. We would like to thank Chris for all the personal touches such as the beautiful flowers; we could smell them all week. This beach home had all the comforts one needs. We loved it here so much we promise ourself that we must come back. It is great that it is one story for disabled people. Wide hallways, shower bars, high toilets makes this place handicap accessible. Thank you for a wonderful time & God Bless all who stay here. Sincerely, Esther Rubio & David Ramos

This glorious San Diego week saw three generations & extended family members of the Freeman-Sorrett-Zablocki clan gather to enjoy sunshine, surf & Thanksgiving dinner! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this great home. Our youngest members surfed every day- in November! The others were able to watch from the beach or from the terrace while reading & catching up with each other. We came from Martinez, Clayton, Chula Vista, University of San Diego, Long Beach & St. Louis, Missouri. Thank you for sharing this wonderful home with us!

It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been and I think the rest of my family would agree. We got to swim, watch dolphins; Best of all we got to see a whale! The surfers were great and the house was amazing. We all really enjoyed our time here. We grilled on the charcoal grill, sat on the deck and really enjoyed the amazing stars. The sunset was one of the best parts, which is out right now. We got to have a little family reunion, meeting our new cousin. It was one of the best times of our life. Thank you so much, it was amazing! The Washburns, Novaks & Polagrutos

The surf was beautiful-the view fantastic- we enjoyed the visitors, (dolphins &surfers daily! A few great sunsets. We loved breakfast at the Potato Shack and dinner at El Callejon. We enjoyed time at Moonlight Beach, but the best was Coronado. The kids loved their room and the peace and quiet of the deck- We loved afternoons on the deck w/margaritas and grilled on the charcoal daily! Thanks for sharing your beach house! The Brocks of Phoenix and Morgan Hill

There is a magic to this home that allows you to feel as if it truly is YOUR OWN BEACH HOUSE! I have to slap myself to wake up from this beautiful dream. Coming from the explosive bustle of Las Vegas, the smell and sound of the ocean and the morning welcome from the dolphins, surfers and the sea birds was exactly what the doctor ordered. We took walks on the beach, explored neighboring towns, went to movies and dined in great restaurants that we had discovered on previous trips. The house was stocked magnificently. We only brought a table cloth from home which is a tradition when we travel anywhere. The bedrooms and bathrooms are comfortable and clean. (I particularly enjoyed the BIG BED in the master suite as I am tall) We leave feeling very grateful and very HIGHER POWERED! Love and Joy to you Chris! Come see us in Vegas! The Radice's-Mary, Toby, Laura, Alice and Francesca the pup!
