Encinitas Hideaway
We’re a young couple in our 60s and we surely enjoyed our stay at the tiny house short bike ride to everywhere up and down highway 101. The host Doug was very pleasant. Always asked if we needed anything. You gotta stay here, and see it to believe it for yourself. I’ll definitely be back.

Beautiful Tiny House, Great Hosts
We had a wonderful stay and Doug and Marianne's meticulously clean and well designed Tiny House. They have thought of everything for their guests' comfort, including leaving a wagon at the parking spot for transporting goods and luggage to the house. We accidentally left some hiking poles in the unit, and they have bent over backwards to figure out how to mail them back to us economically. Communication was great throughout. We would highly recommend this spot for anyone staying in the greater San Diego area. Thank you Marianne and Doug!

The most perfect getaway
Tiny house was absolutely perfect, Marianne and Douglas gave us the ability to drop our bags before official check in which was so helpful! The house itself was incredibly clean and had anything you could want, the outside area was our favorite part to sit and have a drink before we made our way downtown which was only a short walking distance, we utilized the bikes to get to the beach as well! The city itself was so beautiful we can’t wait to go back

The owners thought of absolutely everything in this beautiful, immaculate tiny home! The grounds were equally amazing and so well cared for. Bikes, outdoor games and boogie boards were a great touch and fun to use. Close to the ocean and town- great location! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Tiny Home!
I had a wonderful stay! The tiny home is incredibly cozy, beautifully designed, and very close to the beach and lots of great shops and restaurants. The hosts were very accommodating and easy to reach. Would happily stay there anytime I'm in Encinitas!

A Cozy Piece of Heaven!
What a comfortable and fun treasure to stay in! I felt so at home with a very cozy bed and the outdoor fire pit. The tiny home was so well organized and laid out with everything needed (the bikes were fun to ride to the beach as well!). The outdoor area was phenomenal for comfort and sitting around talking, drinking coffee. I would've been content just hung out there for days! Thanks so much for sharing your home! We might have to downsize soon (lol!).
