The Neighborhood:
Recently named among the 20 best surf towns in the world by National Geographic, Encinitas wears its surf history proudly.

The townhome really needs updating. The table on the patio was severely chipped and looked awful. The bathrooms have tile and they look quite dated. The whole place needs to be painted and some of the shoe molding replaced. this is such a valuable and that’s not property. I think the owner should spend just a little bit of money fixing it up for it to justify the price charge for rental. Beautiful view, right on the ocean. very nice appliances in the kitchen.
Didn’t know there were 30 steps from ground to 2nd floor. In heavy rain water drips into living room from deck. Window treatments in lr and bedroom hard to maneuver.No napkins, small sharp knives, colander and not enough hangars (bought them)No manuals or explanations on how to use appliances. No info on where there are extra linens and towels,Expected more given the price.
Very nice stay. Good location near town and beach. View from balconies overlooking beach cannot be beat. Loved looking out to surfers and dolphins swimming.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Incredible oceanfront views, close to great restaurants and beach. There was an interior ant problem upstairs and downstairs that dampened our overall experience.
Stayed for a few nights during our son's travel hockey tournament, and this place was everything we could have asked for and more. Clean and spacious, with absolutely gorgeous views of the ocean. We're already hoping his team goes back to San Diego next season so we can stay here again!

The home is lovely, just as described. We have stayed in several homes in the area and will definitely return to this one. Host was great and very responsive. Great area, easy beach access, and walking distance to coffee, shops, and restaurants.

What a kind and sweet review, Jamie. We really enjoyed hosting you and hope you will become a return guest.
We couldn’t have asked for a better location. We weren’t far from any of the attractions we were visiting and restaurants were close by too. We loved the quiet street it is located on too. It is a one way street active with walkers and joggers. Then there is the ocean view! We enjoyed an incredible sunset each night while listening to the soothing sound of the crashing waves. Check in was flawless and the property managers were very helpful and just the right amount of attentive.

Potential is there for a tremendous property worthy of the price. As is, you're paying for a 3 1/2 star place in an incredible location.Fixable issues that keep it from being amazing (below).POSITIVES:Excellent location!Epic view; Super close to shops/eats on 101; Beaches- 5 min walk to Beacon's, 10 to StoneSteps, 20 to Moonlight/downtown Encinitas (Would be helpful to have these details in listing)Comfortable furnishings, linens & kitchenGood beach gear - Towels, surf & boogie boards, chairsMgmt Co was very responsiveFYI - there appears to be an EV-capable plug in the garage (it's not listed, so I didn't bring my cable)ISSUES:Master bedroom needs work. Screen door has unsightly holes & barely budges when trying to open;Shutters are very difficult to close, and one is broken off;Lamps are faulty;Cosmetic issues like these are unexpected for a property in this price pointListing does not mention shared wall with neighbor - do not anticipate privacy on the patioWe had ants in master bath and near wet bar - Mgmt is aware & hopefully addressingCoffee maker leaked water on kitchen counter - to their credit, Mgmt quickly replaced via amazonShort on kitchen basics - utensils/cookware need updating, more hand towelsCould not access DirecTV - no instructionsFrustrating Check in - additional online registration required after reserving & paying, which I completed but evidently it didn't get to them, so we were delayed a half hour dealing with it
Great vacation spot! Beach house was as advertised w/ great views, easy access to restaurants and coffee shops and the beach. Will be booking again in the future. Thanks!
