Pacific ocean VRBO

We feel it appropriate to review this property from two perspectives. First, the veranda & view of the Pacific: On a scale of 1-10, it’s a 15, nothing short of spectacular! Likewise, the location with its proximity to Moonlight Beach and Encinitas restaurants and shops is awesome. Unfortunately, the unit itself is considerably run down, especially the linens, towels, dinnerware, cookware, and amenities. There is internet access, but it is not secure/ password protected. Our son said you need a new router. Although we had planned to prepare and enjoy meals there, we chose not to do so. However, the issues could largely be remedied by a trip to Costco/Target. A coat of paint would also be worthwhile. In summary, we had a nice time but look forward to hearing if you upgrade as we would love to return. Net/net, what a fantastic location!

Awesome view/Grungie House

Enter property on ripped steps. Open door to sauna entrance due to poor design. Turn left on worn out tiles to very dated kitchen that needs complete redo(appliances are new) Don't worry about decor as there is none. House is an echo chamber due to bare minimum of furniture, rugs or wall coverings. Shower in master bath is well past due for replacement. Shower has unique way to turn on hot water.Beds are not that comfortable Blinds are old and falling apart-handyman told me he's been fixing them for 20 years. No note but 'Your not allowed to use one set of blinds in bedroom) Blinds in living room I fixed with tape. Ants!! Problem won't be solved till kitchen & baths are redone so be prepared to clean clean clean!! We didn't cook in kitchen due to this problem Management did come immediately to fix things and they are very nice but the bottom line is profit and that's all they care about. Last, kitchen faucet falls off and has enough crap around it to say it's been like that for years. Renter beware!!

Not a place I would recommend...ever.

The property is the only home that is a rental in the group of condos so it is overseen by an HOA hit squad. My wife and I had two other couples over for dinner on the back patio. We were sitting have dinner, no music, no kids . Just adults having dinner. It was exactly 8:10pm when we got a noise complaint from one of the neighbors. The neighbors do NOT want this home to be a rental. At 10:05 were were (me and one other guest on the patio) told BY A NEIGHBOR (who came outside to tell us) that the curfew was 10:00pm and we needed to go inside. So long and short of it...the place has a great location but we would have never stayed there if we knew about the clearly ongoing issues with the neighbors....also the property is very run down. If you have a family OR are planning on having more then 2 guest over for dinner...you need to find another place. I still cannot believe that I was told to go inside the home (by the neighbor) when it was just myself and a friend having a conversation on the back patio. ALSO - the master bed was approximately 20 years old (as it was sad and saggy) and there were dark hand prints and foot prints on the wall 2 feet from my head. I actually used a tee shirt of mine as a pillow case. I could go on...but you get the point.

Ocean Front Encinitas

If you’re looking for oceanfront this is it… Unit has lots of stairs, and is very much in need of TLC and updating… Toilets need replacing. Although right on ocean, many days the six fans didn’t keep unit cool. We spent the month of August , and weather was upper 70’s, but if a heat wave hit, it wouldn’t be comfortable… Unit needs a better computer/ TV …no access to Netflix etc…but had basic cable.. Someone lives in garage, but we never saw him… Views were magnificent!!

Rental process, views and location were amazing, as advertised. The unit definitely needs updating. The showers in particular are quite small and dated. The lights throughout the house flickered quite a bit as well. The view and location make it all worth it but the property could be amazing with a few updates.

You can't beat this view. Friendly neighbors too!

So this was our seventh trip to Encinitas and second one not in a hotel. We are a married couple who came to town for some vacation surfing and to enjoy beers and sunset on this property's patio and the place definitely exceed expectations. It was a bonus that the next door neighbors were warm and friendly, which made for an even better vibe. I would definitely rent this property again.

Incomparable view and location

This was just as advertised--a VERY nice 2 bedroom condo, clean, great location, beautiful deck, and amazing view. It's clearly a VRBO-dedicated property, as the furniture was very nice and functional, but not luxurious. Given the COVID related issues, we ate a lot in the condo rather than going out. The kitchen worked perfectly--was well equipped and all the appliances worked and there were the requisite amount of dishes, etc. And there was a washer and dryer too. Plus boogie-boards. We were ideally situated between the famous Moonlight Beach and the "stone steps", both leading to the beach. About 2 blocks in each direction. Our group consisted of my wife and me, and my wife's 94 year old mother and her 81 year old friend who was needed as a travelling companion. Both of the ladies had a great time in the back bedroom, and my wife and I totally loved the view from the second floor bedroom and the sounds of the ocean waves that lulled us to sleep every night. I'd try to reserve this place again.

If you want to lounge on the veranda and watch the waves, wildlife and surfers this is the place! Great sunsets and close to shops and restaurants. The place is older, so if you’re looking for a resort vibe, this is not it. The neighbors are super close, but weren’t home a lot of the time we were there. The place is well appointed, but the decor could use an update (faded artwork on the walls; quick/cheap fix for an impressionable first impression). The sound of the waves out the master bedroom window is unbeatable.

Great Location

Great location...everything is within walking distance. Unfortunately, it was very hot/humid so sleeping (upstairs) was uncomfortable.....even with 2 fans going. No A/C. I think it is unreasonable to ask that you wash towels for the next guest. It's vacation...no body is coming to the beach to do laundry. And, you can't leave the unit with machines running. Owner should have enough towels/sheets to take care of the next guest and do the laundry off site. This unit is overdue for a complete remodel.
