We had a wonderful stay at the Hermes Haven Beach House! The house is beautiful and styled to feel inviting. We loved the large backyard with hot tub and basketball court for our kids to play. The kitchen is fully stocked to cook all of your meals in the beautifully designed kitchen. Dave the property manager responded promptly to any questions we had. The location is perfect close to shops and the beach. We opted for the 5 minute drive to moonlight beach. We loved the house and hope to be back soon!

Great time by all

We had such an amazing time staying at this house! We were there to celebrate two birthdays and they were stunned on when they entered the house! It was so lovely having the windows open while sleeping on the most comfortable bed ever! We were also so close to restaurants, shops, and beach! 10/10 stay!

Incredible Place!

As Encinitas natives who have since moved away, we were looking for the perfect place to have a family vacation - Hermes Haven was it! The property is unique in that it has a private 360 degree patio and pristine yard. The bedrooms have plenty of closet space and very comfortable beds. The bathrooms are beauitful and well-equipped. The kitchen is the best part of the house - everything you could need to cook, plus a huge breakfast nook and table. We loved opening the windows to enjoy the sun and breeze while sitting together. This home is close to everything, and you can walk to plenty of restaurants and coffee shops. Dave was a wonderful and communicative host! We are already looking foward to our next stay!

A Beautiful Haven, a fantastic stay

We came into town for the funeral of a loved one. The host was not only gracious, but sent his condolences as well. The house. The property. There’s no way to describe just how beautiful, tranquil, homey, lived-in, and accommodating. The kitchen was more than well stocked for everything our family of eight needed. And we often had other family members over for meals or bonding, and the place was perfect for that as well. The outdoor space was incredible and beautiful, and the inside of the home was fantastic as well. The decorations, the cleanliness, and the general appointments to the home were fantastic. We have already talked about booking again for the next time we visit San Diego.
