Great Family Beach House

Date of Stay: 01/29/11 Review Submitted: 03/11/11

My family and I had an amazing time at 1086 Neptune Ave. It was a perfect property for our staycation. It rained one of the nights we were there, so we turned on all three fireplaces and enjoyed each other’s company, the ambiance was amazing. The first night there, we invited some friends over, and it was nice to have two living rooms, so the kids were able to sit together and watch TV, and in the other room us adults were able to chat and watch the amazing views, while still keeping an eye on the little ones. The property is so large and has many areas to enjoy, after dinner we enjoyed sitting outside by the fire pit while the kids enjoyed the Jacuzzi. We had tons of space! The kids loved watching the surfers as they sat and ate lunch on the private deck. This property has so much to offer, we loved the location, and the privacy. We can’t wait until we can come back again, and invite more family and friends to enjoy with us.

Romantic Weekend Getaway

Date of Stay: 12/20/10 Review Submitted: 03/07/11

My husband planned this trip as a surprise 40th Birthday Present---what an amazing gift! This beachfront property was so beautiful and comfortable. I loved being able to cook dinner/prepare drinks & take them straight out to the balcony from the kitchen---it was so nice to sit and talk with my husband while listening to the sound of the ocean. I also loved cozying up by the fireplace at night---there are three in the property!!! I had the best sleep of my life: the master bedroom is spacious and overlooks the ocean---it also has a fireplace and flat screen tv! We turned on AMC and watched classic movies with the fireplace going---we also opened the sliding doors on the master bedroom balcony to listen to the ocean while we slept---it was heavenly! We also loved the hot tub and lanai with fire pit. Such a great trip! So many great memories!

This stay was a real treat for me and my boyfriend. The views are unbeatable...we spent the days just sitting by the fireplace (there's actually 3 of them!) and looking out at the ocean. The master bedroom is my favorite room in the home. 3 stories up, it feels like you are floating over the ocean. Waking up to that view is pretty amazing. The unit was extremely clean, well stocked, and perfect for our weekend getaway. Encinitas/Leucadia are great little beach towns. We walked down to our favorite coffee shop, Pannikin, and for dinner, dt old encinitas is just a minutes drive with a ton of restaurants. The weather was stormy, but it made for a great excuse to stay inside and enjoy the home! Thank you beachfrontonly!

This was the most relaxing vacation we've ever had! To be greeted each morning with a 180 degree ocean view of the Pacific along with dolphins swimmining by and ending each day viewing a stunning sunset with the cozy fireplace taking the chill off... this is the life! We were planning our next visit way before this one was over.

This house was exactly what we wanted for a relaxing week off. It sits high above Beacon Beach and offers great views of dolphins, surfers and the ocean. Beach access is down the road about 900 feet (the stairs off the back porch no longer exist). A relaxing home away from home! Will come again!

We had a wonderful week!

Guest: Sue
Date of Stay: 02/18/10 Review Submitted: 05/26/10

Our extended family rented this property for a week in January. There were 6 adults and 3 kids under 5 yo. We had enough space for everyone without feeling crowded. One night we had a birthday party for my 90 yo father. Along with all 9 of us there were 7 more people and there was still plenty of room. One group could watch TV, another could be on computers and another play games. Everything was clean and ready when we arrived. The view was amazing. Everyday from the front windows we watched the surfers and the dolphins playing in the ocean. Of course it helped that we had perfect 60 - 70 degree temps everyday. It was easy to get to I-5, so we never worried about going places. The walk to get to the beach was about a block and then down a path. We wished we could have gotten there straight from the condo, but the walk wasn't bad. When we had trouble getting in the door because we weren't putting in the code properly, the staff was quick to get back to us and help. The hot tub was an added bonus and we all enjoyed that after our long days. Our only minor problem was that the wi-fi router had to be reset by unplugging and replugging it in frequently. At times it seemed like more lights would be nice - maybe movable small lamps. Overall we were very happy and would rent this property again. I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone.

We couldn't have been happier. We had 6 adults and 3 kids, 5 and younger, staying at the house. The way the house is split up we never felt crowded. There was room for one group to watch TV, another to play cards, and another to read or check their email. The weather was perfect. We viewed surfers everyday from the windows and watched the dolphins playing in the surf. However, to get to the beach you have to drive 1.5 miles or walk. Since it was easy to get on I-5, we never had trouble going places. The hot tub worked perfectly, as did everything. My only complaints, and they are minor. 1-Had to unplug and replug in router to stay on internet. 2-Lighting could have been a little better, maybe a couple of lamps. Overall, we were very pleased and would rent again.

Beautiful Views and Sunsets

Guest: Beach People
Date of Stay: 09/10/09 Review Submitted: 05/26/10

The home was beautifully decorated, comfortable and well-stocked. It was very easy to arrive, unpack our bags and food and start our relaxing vacation all in about 2 hours! No waiting in airport lounges, long flights and taxi/shuttle rides to/from our destination. Had the beach been easier to access, it would have been the perfect location. Towing kids, towels, boogie boards, etc. up and down the hill wasn't easy, especially for the older folks in our group. However, the sunset views were spectacular. The staff at Beachfront Only Vacations have always been professional and accommodating. We liked it so much, we booked another property in Oceanside the first week of September. It was lovely too. Hmmmm . . . is a Carlsbad property next on our agenda?!?

This property exceeded our expectations. The view is amazing and the inside is great as well. We never wanted to leave to go siteseeing. San Diego is less than 30 min by car and there is a commuter station close by for a train ride in. There are plenty of things close by if you don't want to go into San Diego. Property management was very responsive. We had a question when we arrived and it was not only answered over the phone but we had someone come by within an hour to make sure the problem was solved. We watched surfers all day and dolphins in the evenings. We will go back if we get the chance.

Date of Stay: 01/06/09 Review Submitted: 05/26/10

Our family stayed during Christmas at 1086 and made great memories. Every morning the dolphins would swim by and every evening we would watch the beautiful sunset go down. There are great beaches close by that we went to, but it would have been great to have a private access from the home, we would have been at the beach more often, but would highly recommend staying at this property. Also the communication between us and the rental agency was very good, if we had any problems or questions, they returned our call promptly.
