My extended family of nine people really enjoyed staying in this large house for four days. The kitchen was well stocked with basics, and it was easy to use all the appliances in the kitchen and throughout the house. It was amazing to have a place to stay so close to the beach! We had a couple of very minor issues near the beginning of our stay, but we were able to quickly and easily communicate with the host, and the issues were quickly resolved. We would love to stay in this place again in the future.

We loved our stay in Encinitas! It was a quick 10 minute walk to the beach. The home itself was perfect for our needs. We had fun in the area riding bikes on the Pacific Coast Trail, hiking Annie's trail, enjoying the beautiful backyard and hot tub of the unit. It was lovely. There are plenty of delicious restaurants around too.

Hot tub needs maintenance

My biggest issue was with our hot tub. It didn’t have any chemicals for maintenance, so we were only able to use it once before it looked cloudy and had a smell.The house was spacious. Decent location.

Family Trip to San Diego Area

Property was clean and easy to get to from the highway yet felt private on the end of dead end street. House was nice with all bedrooms upstairs and all living and kitchen downstairs. Size of the living area was quaint and adequate but not large. Kitchen was a bit dated with looks and appliances but served us perfectly fine for what we needed. Back yard is fairly small with minimal yard area but again worked just fine for our needs. I would recommend and stay there again if we took similar trip in the future.

Family reunion

The house is on a lovely culdesac. Neighborhood has access to shopping and highways. For the most part we thought the house was lovely, but a few small upgrades would be appreciated by renters. Electrical outlet in the master bedroom has only one working outlet. The master bathroom shower needs an upgrade in the grout and shower door. Very minor but update would be great.

Property mgmt. co. was very slow and misleading in responding to problems with the property, especially with the hot tub problems not fixed until the 5th day of our 8 day stay. The hot tub was the deciding factor in our choice of the property, after we were assured beforehand that it was in good operating condition. We also had a lot of trouble with the thermostat during all of our stay and keeping the house cool and reported it with not much satisfaction. It got better for a day but then back to malfunction all week.The internet went out and it took days to have the tech come out. Our phones and computers did not work.We also had to let the management know that the air fryer was broken and a lamp in the master suite was not working. I also sent a picture of an outdoor yard lamp by the hot tub that was broken. These were not resolved.We reported all of these things and got the same reply that “ We are sorry for your inconvenience” and then we waited and had to inform them again. This has been a very disappointing and upsetting rental expense.Also, we were promised compensation review for our issues after we left the premises.I also asked for the property manager him or herself to call me personally, which never happened.
