We had an amazing time during our weeklong stay. The host was very responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with. My family is already trying to figure out when we can get back. I would highly recommend this rental for the amount of space in the townhouse, Sea Bluff amenities, and it is steps away from Grandview and Ponto beach.

Everything we needed - and more!

We absolutely loved staying in Carole's beautiful home. We had stayed in this community before, but this was our first time staying in this particular unit. We love how close it is to the beach as well as the pools/amenities available to guests. The home had everything we needed - and then some! Carole was a dream in terms of communications as well. We will be back!

Excellent adventures

The house was just as they said it would be. The salt water pools were perfect for us as a family and you can’t beat the community for the sunsets! One shower was not draining well but after talking with the Carol a plumber was called and the issue was resolved while we were at one of our adventures!

Nice place!

We had a great time at this townhouse! Very nicely furnished & maintained with a lot of nice touches like beach towels and chairs. Beds were very comfortable. Small snafu at check-in with the code but not long to remedy. We were surprised the beach was not walkable (too rocky) but we probably would have known if we'd researched more. Very nice grounds in the complex and we enjoyed the south pool & hot tub which were warm enough even though the weather was a little chilly. We bought pickleball equip and had fun playing on the courts. Nice people all around the complex. Would stay again.

An amazing and unforgettable experience!

My family recently had the pleasure of staying at this Seabluffe townhouse, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this was no ordinary vacation rental. Situated right on the edge of the pristine coastline, the gated community offers stunning panoramic views of the ocean. The private beach access was a major highlight, allowing us to enjoy the soft sand and clear waters just steps from 2 separate stairways at the edge of the property. The property is also conveniently located near charming seaside towns, with plenty of dining and shopping options. We were able to walk to coffee/doughnuts for breakfast or dinner several days. We had great communication with our gracious host Carole. She was responsive to us immediately and provided clear, detailed instructions. We would love to visit the home again!

Best Encinitas Beach Stay!

We were so fortunate to stay at Carol’s Beachhouse for two weeks. My husband and I have two little kids (3 & 5) and my parents stayed with us for a few days. As others have said, the pictures don’t do it justice. Extremely spacious, very clean, well stocked and very homey. Kids: toys, beach buckets, kids craft table, and perfect little room with two beds. It is awesome that there were new books to read. The stairs down to the beach were not that big of a deal. The community itself is extremely quiet, which is great for our kids to run around on their scooters. Location: there are a few things to walk to, but most a quick drive or bike ride away. The location is truly perfect to hit up the many beach towns, great hiking, so many different beaches and the main San Diego attractions. You will be grateful that you stayed here!

Excellent home, owner and stay

This is a lovely home very close to the stairs down to the beach. Located in a complex with awesome amenities. The home is very comfortable inside and has been remodeled. The 3rd bedroom is tiny and got quite hot even in November. Plenty of fans provided though. Owner was spectacular, flexible and easy to communicate with. The only thing that is a small nit would be for softer towels. I think perhaps there were no dryer sheets used so they were rough. Other than that it was a stellar home to spend our Thanksgiving in.

Peaceful beach retreat

My family loved our beachside vacation. The location couldn’t be more perfect, walk to the beach or just a couple of minutes from shops and great restaurants. Quiet and peaceful community, well kept lawns for kids to play, easy walk down to the beach, swim in the pool. I loved waking up to the sound of the waves each morning. The home is well stocked for cooking and going to the beach. Carole was a gracious host and easy to communicate with. We can’t wait to return!

Great property for kids

We loved staying at this beautiful home, my kids had their own space and so did we. We had plenty of space to hang out inside and out. The location has easy access to many CA attractions and we loved visiting downtown Encinitas. The property manager was responsive and friendly and there was a detailed instruction/welcome book in the house.

Happy stay in Encinitas

Great place and location for a family vacation. We all loved the pool and hot tub, the condo was very comfortable, even had books and small craft table for children. Plus, it had everything we needed to cook for the 6 of us while we were there. Neighborhood was quiet, friendly, yet close to all the beach action.
