About this property

Beautiful Oceanfront Home, Gorgeous Views, jacuzzi, Deck and Patio! Best Value!

If this property is booked, email me anyway, I have other oceanfront homes or condos that may be available for your dates! Beacon's Re-Opened yesterday. There are electric bikes located at Beacon's, and a few blocks over on PCH 101, that can be rented. Ask about locations if you are interested. Great restaurants, wine bar, sushi, mexican food and take outs are within a few blocks of this house.
Enjoy the fabulous surf and sounds of the ocean before you, as you sip your morning coffee, or evening wine or fun Margaritas with some great Mexican food. Many Restaurants close, eat in or take out, Italian, Seafood, lots of places to decide between. Dine on your private 180 degree ocean view deck, or enjoy a quiet dinner in the dining room at home. 'Wow!' is what new guests say as they enter the living room and experience the wide open ocean view before them. Open your sliding glass doors and enjoy the fresh ocean breezes indoors or out, in peace and tranquility to the sounds of the waves.

The living room offers a huge inviting fireplace, to view & savor the sounds and sights before you; the waves, surfers, dolphins, cruise ships,fishing boats and all of the marine life as it flows before your eyes. Take long relaxing barefoot walks on the beach, or take a short stroll/jog to the local boutiques or restaurants. Boogie board, surf or just read a book as you relax and sunbathe! Watch (and record) your favorite tv shows on the big screen over the fireplace. For the kids, we have added Disney Plus to keep them busy while you BBQ Grill on your patio overlooking the ocean front.

Hike in Torrey Pines or why not take in a round of Golf at one the World Class Golf Resorts? Spend a day at Disneyland, it is only a little over an hour's drive away. Or take the kids to Legoland, only 10 minutes from the beach house. Take a short trip to San Diego and enjoy the World Famous San Diego Zoo. How about the Wild Animal Park for a picnic?

Explore the Cedros Design District, Del Mar Plaza or the great Carlsbad Company Stores for shopping nearby, and if you happen to be so lucky to be here in the spring, the famous Flower Fields of Carlsbad are spectacular! (After all we are the flower capital of the world!)

When the weather is cool, sit in front of your huge crackling fireplace while listening and watching the crashing surf before you!

You will never get a better night's rest when you let the sound of waves and scent of the ocean lull you into a most relaxing night of sleep. Lock the courtyard entry gate, and sleep with your sliding door open in the master. Gentle breezes, overhead ceiling fan for experiencing a little "outdoors" in your comfy king bed.

Breath taking views
We will now only come and stay at this property for future trips to Encinitas.. The house was amazing but the views of the ocean and nightly sunsets were priceless. We usually go out to eat but for the whole week we ate in so we could enjoy the view, the beautiful weather, and sounds of the ocean. The owner and property manager were so easy to communicate with. Best find and wish we could stay longer.

Great place to enjoy the Pacific and San Diego
This is a great property to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee overlooking the ocean or to relax in the hot tub while watching the moon set. The location is outstanding. Beside the fact the house is on a bluff overlooking the Pacific, the North County location is close enough to enjoy all of San Diego without all the traffic and hustle-and-bustle of a typical oceanfront house. The house has character and isn't pretentious. My family of 6 loved it. We played cards at the table while watching movies and/or bowl games on TV in the family room. My family was caught up in the Southwest Meltdown in 2022. Chris was understanding, gracious and hospitable despite the ups-and-downs of our journey to get to the house. We will definitely return.

Great view and roomy
We used this beach/bluff front property for a reunion of 8 college buddies. The 3 bedrooms were roomy enough and had enough beds to accommodate us all without feeling cramped. The property is "well worn" and the price was fair and we understand some improvements will be made but everything worked and was fine for our needs.

Ladies Surf Trip
The house had everything needed for a great girls' weekend. There was plenty of room to hang out, chat, watch TV, and play games. The kitchen was amply stocked and easy to cook in. More importantly, the view was world-class, and the hot tub was the icing on the cake after a surf session! Highly recommend!

Surf Trip
Just returned from a 3 day stay at this property. The location of this home was perfect for us as 4 of the 6 guests in our group went surfing and the trail to the beach is just a few houses down. The house offers great views, is clean, plenty of kitchen supplies, and the beds were comfortable. My daughter and husband and 2 other guests enjoyed the hot tub after surfing. Each bedroom has a bathroom and that was nice. The property needs some TLC, a face lift. Some things needed addressing and the property manager was informed so that the next group coming in should not have the same issues we had. Overall, we had a very nice time and enjoyed our visit.

Great Views
The back deck had a beautiful view of the ocean and the access to the beach was nearby. We used the beach toys, chairs, umbrella, and boogie board, which was very nice to have. There was plenty of beds for our five adults and two kids. The pictures of the house are accurate - not fancy, but comfortable. We happen to go during a Heat Advisory, so the living area was quite warm, but we ate out on the deck almost every meal. The bedrooms had portable air conditioners that were used to cool the bedrooms each night.

Amazing view and great location
You can't beat the view from this house and the location is great. We particularly liked the large patio and how well-fenced in it is - we didn't have to worry about the dogs getting out. My only complaint is the condition of the two smaller bedrooms. They could both use some work.

10 Year Anniversary Vacation Getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was beautifully retro style with all the amenities for a great vacation. The views were breathtaking with a patio deck for viewing. The house is very spacious and comfortable. Could not ask for a better vacation house to help celebrate our 10 year Wedding Anniversary. We definately want to come back again.

Perfect Accessible Vacation Home
This is a beautiful property overlooking the ocean. Saw many surfers, dolphins, & some boats. The house is totally accessible with no steps into or in house. The beach is not as it is below the cliffs. The only room that presented a problem was the master bedroom where the bed is so high I could not get into it. This forced us to sleep in the other bedroom with less accommodations. Only very tall people can use this bed. All of the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you could need to cook or bake. Chris was wonderful. He responded immediately to all questions & even came to the house to help with the garage door opener & took care of an ant problem. As stated in other reviews, the furniture is very dated & could be easily replaced as some of it isn't very comfortable. But the way the living room is laid out, it was perfect to keep kids separated from adults. The back deck is beautiful but very old & the floor was uneven in places. The plexiglass around the deck was great to see easily but the one panel by the hottub is loose. There also was a place on the step down to the hottub that felt like it was very "soft" & could break through. We put a vase over it to prevent anyone stepping there. We had the best vacation in this home & will be back if we are in the area. Highly recommend this home even with the few concerns I have shared.

Filthy, unorganized, congested, unsafe
We canceled our stay half way and checked out. What you are paying is mostly for the view and close location to the beach. The home was filthy, unorganized, extremely congested and unsafe because of the scrimping miserable disrespectful owners. Many amenities and services mentioned in the VRBO were misleading and false. Many electrical hazards like open power outlets, a power surge was hanging down lose mid air. Many doors and windows didn’t lock, which made us feel unsafe. Many doors and windows were not shutting close which meant opening for pests, we saw spiders and ants inside the home, and rat droppings under the kitchen sink by the dishwasher detergent. The washer/dryer and AC portables were not working properly. The portable AC units were filthy with layers of dusts and dirts. The home inside was about 78-79 during the day. We called the owner to voice our concerns, she was rude and disagreed! This owner should respect and try to find a remedy to fix the travelers valid concerns not belittle them. The owner seems to not care about customer service or safe/clean home, seems rude and offensive, cheap to spend money to fix these important safety and cleaning issues. We told her upon arrival, the home seems to not have been cleaned professionally, we found socks, Tylenol pill, candy/food wraps, hair bow, dust, dirty floor, dirty windows and screen glass doors, open doors and windows, she said “if you’re not happy you can leave right now” but we couldn’t, we just drove 6 hrs with kids to get there and it was around 6 pm, so I cleaned and moped myself. Next morning, when we told her about the cable box not working, she came downstairs twice and tried 30 min each time, finally she said the box is not working, perhaps from overloading the power extension cord that is just hanging out in mid air lose with many power cords like TV, portable Air conditioner, cable box and light fixture. We told her about the doors and windows not shutting, she said “those are minor issues, no one else has said anything to us or complained”. We requested to cancel, she offered to refund the remaining 2 nights if we leave “RIGHT THEN” which was around 5 pm when we saw her email through VRBO. We couldn’t leave that moment because it was too late to pack up especially with kids. She said she will write a review about me on VRBO, we don’t care, we are telling the truth, this is not slandering.

About the host

Hosted by Chris-email, Eileen phone

Host profile image
Hi, I am Chris, and your emails do come directly to me! Eileen works with me, so some of your messages may be answered by her. She does answer the business phone. I am loving life, doing lots of traveling between here in Encinitas, CA, the occasional trip to Hawaii, and Costa Rica. As you can see, I love the beach and the ocean, travelling in addition to warm weather! I am a booking agent for other properties in the area, and specialize in oceanfront, primarily in Encinitas, and also the owner of this property at 866 Neptune Ave. We invest in properties from here in California, Hawaii and Costa Rica. If I cannot accommodate you here at our beach house, I would love to hear from you anyway. There are other properties here in Encinitas to choose from! All are here on VRBO, so send me an email to find out what is available for your vacation! I am the owner of Vacation Beach Rentals in Encinitas.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with North Coast San Diego, especially between Del Mar, Carlsbad, Oceanside. I originally moved to San Diego from Orange County, CA where I worked in the hotel industry for some years. Eventually, I started booking not only my property, but found other owners here that wanted some help. The business took off, started in the year 2000! We originally bought this property as an investment and rented it out long term, but found that the vacation rental business was better and easier to care for the property as well as to have use of it ourselves. This location is incredible, so central to San Diego and Orange County- and an easy drive to Los Angeles when the occasion is required. You can get to so many places in a reasonable amount of time from the beautiful North Coast of San Diego.

What makes this property unique

The floorplan of this house is amazing for families to get together and has 50 linear feet over the oceanfront for the most amazing views all day and night- the evening sunsets are fabulous! It is so relaxing to be able to kick your shoes off, pour yourself a glass of wine or fresh ice tea, make yourself some lunch (or order locally), and watch everything happening from the convenience of your private patio. Lines of pelicans fly overhead or dive into the surf before you. Watch for the dolphins in the waves along side the surfers! No need to go out to brunch in an oceanfront restaurant when you are sitting front row over the waves, you are already there! Safe and secure, very private, and anywhere you want to go, it is probably found within 2 minutes to an hour. We take our fur baby Ace for walks along the one-way neighborhood street of Neptune into Encinitas, or just a block over to Coast Highway where we find great dining at the local restaurants. Or, we might just have our dinner oceanfront with the gentle breezes! The dining table and slate patio table are large for family and guests, and if it is cool outside, we 'dine in' watching and listening to the waves! A huge fireplace for cozy nights too! We love it, and so do all of our many guests. For those who like to cook, the kitchen has everything for your use, stainless appliances, a double electric oven, and large gas range. For beach goers, supplies are provided; boogie boards, umbrella, a few wetsuits, beach chairs etc. For grilling on the BBQ, relax and sit looking over the oceanfront while you grill your favorite family dinners, it's wonderful!!!
