Ocean Front w/ Amazing Ocean View, Spacious 2 bed 2 bath, BBQ, Beach Gear, A/C

A perfect relaxing beach retreat with an AMAZING Ocean View. The upstairs oceanfront town home was just remodeled in January 2024 and has 2 very large bedrooms, 2 baths and is just across Neptune from the Bluff and stairs to Beacon's beach. The upstairs town home is perfect for families or a group of friends. The oceanfront home, has just been completely remodeled inside and out and has an updated look along with the character Encinitas is famous for.

Included are 2 private parking spots, 2 soft surfboards, boogie boards, beach chairs, and beach toys. Just arrive and you are ready for a wonderful day at the Beacon's beach. The bedrooms are well acquainted with King beds and matching bedroom sets. For larger groups, we have a convertible futon, with a sheet and comforter set. The entire home is very nicely furnished and well outfitted.

The area is the quintessential 1960's beach town, with modern splashes of luxury and tons of eclectic soul. The home is just across Neptune from the stunning cliffs the boast views of the entire coastline, and the stairs that lead down to world class, Beacons Beach. The home is also just blocks away from several great places to eat or have a drink.

Better than advertised, spacious, bright, and well located
This place is a gem. It’s located in a quiet high end neighborhood across the street from a small beach parking lot, so there are no houses blocking the view of the ocean from this second floor apartment. Big rooms, well equipped kitchen, and second floor deck with sweeping water views. Close to shops and Pannikin coffee. This apartment is up a flight and a half of stairs. Also the beach access across the street is currently closed due to storm damage, but there’s another about a mile away, and lots by car. Several reviews mentioned trains, here’s the deal: Encinitas has a train track that runs the length of town about 1000 feet from the water. If you’re near the water, you’re near the train. In this place you can hear the train, but it’s not like it’s shaking the house. Be aware some of the other places we looked at are directly overlooking the tracks, so you might want to ask. Overall great place, we’ll be back.

I had a conference to attend in Carlsbad and thought it would be more fun to take the family on a quick vacation than stay solo in the hotel. It was great! I love Encinitas and this particular neighborhood was peaceful and relaxed.

Lovely space
This property is excellent, the rooms are large and clean, furniture is comfortable, kitchen pretty well stocked. Sunsets off the balcony are awesome. In all honesty, however, it should be noted that the stairs are very steep to reach the second floor and there is a train that runs nearby by about every half hour that blows its horn. That starts around 5:20AM til late. It didn't bother me, but it did my husband. Just be prepared. Perfect spot if you like to surf, run, bike, etc.

Great location with an awesome view. We very much enjoyed the beach equipment the property made available to us, particularly the bodyboards. It's hard to find space for equipment like that while travelling so having it available from the rental was very convenient.

Disappointment
2 Adult couples. Day 2, one person started having severe respiratory issues. Sneezing, coughing and runny nose. Day 3 another guest developed similar respiratory issues. Day 4, another guest developing severe respiratory issues enduring sleepless nights. And our 4 th guest developed A scratchy throat and congestion on our 6 th day. We all experienced “COVID” like symptoms. We tested for COVID. All negative results. Cause of all guests getting sick? Very old and shabby carpet in Bedrooms. But the main problem was the floor mounted air conditioners. Master bedroom had NO Windows that could be opened. So, AC was required To get air movement. Units are old and I surmise that The filters in the units have NEVER been changed. Each bedroom had a unit and the living area as well. Poor ventilation required the units to be running in all rooms. Unit was right across the street from the beach. Damp conditions create mold and mold can be a large irritant. My symptoms ceased getting worse when we stopped using AC in master bedroom on day 5. We departed the unit 9 am on Saturday and still Monday Night symptoms are still a problem. I find it impossible to believe that these issues have not shown themselves with other guests. In addition, the picture in the advertising was likely taken 10-15 years ago. The place is shabby. And all guests got sick. I never write reviews but this place inspired me!

Perfection at the beach!
We loved staying in this cute condo. Amazing views of the beautiful sunset. Condo is clean, comfortable and has everything you need for a great beach trip. My boys loved trying the surf boards provided. The kitchen was stocked with all the basics needed. Quiet area but just across the street from beach access. Only note ( which wasn’t an issue for us) this is a top unit and has all fairly steep stairway to get into unit. If you plan to do laundry you will need quarters for the machines. Not in the unit but right downstairs. Owner was very responsive and great to work with. We will be back for sure! Easy parking but you can walk just about everywhere. We have stayed at many VRBOs and I was very impressed with this one.

Great place to stay
This place was exactly like stated in the website. The property was right across the small one way street from the beach. It had a view of the ocean. The space was large and the kitchen had updated appliances. The only thing I would suggest is to bring your own shampoo, conditioner and bar soap. There were lots of beach toys for our two grandchildren to take to the beach. The downstairs outside shower was perfect for removing sand before entering the condo. We also went to Disneyland which was a little over an hour away but not a bad drive. Overall it was a great stay.

Perfect place for a family getaway
Richard's property was perfect for our 4-night stay in San Diego. The location could not be better: steps from the beach, and walking distance to many restaurants and bars. The apartment itself was as described. Two very spacious bedrooms, each with some sort of ocean view. The living area and the kitchen are great. The bathrooms are great, too; just big enough, and the water pressure in the shower was outstanding. The apartment was super-clean on arrival, and everything was in working order (the fridge is big and works perfectly, we used the dishwasher every night, the heater worked well, etc.) If anything, I would say add a few wine glasses (there were only two available). Communication with the owner was almost instant, and always satisfactory. I would absolutely stay here again.

Leucadia Beachfront
Great location in Leucadia, right at the access to Beacons beach. It is also just a short walk downhill (less than five minutes) to HWY 101 with shopping and restaurants of all kinds. The only downside is with the location at Beacons beach, the rental is just across the street from the parking lot so there can be a lot of traffic noise during the day. But it makes for good people watching! Evenings and mornings are quiet.
