We really enjoyed our stay, everything was just a short drive away and it was very quiet although the highway is close by. The room was big, clean and the staff was very friendly.

We had a bath tub with over shower. Great location so we could walk into Encinitas and not drive. Also there was a grocery store and bar/diner right oposite, across the freeway. Good value for money.

The house was charming and comfortable. It had everything we needed during our stay, especially the washer and dryer, which were very helpful. It was great to be able to have a BBQ. It's a shame that we could only stay for 2 nights. The location was convenient, and we were able to go to one of our favorite spots, Encinitas downtown. We all had a great stay! Thank you so much!!

Small southern California beach town without all the touristy extras. Lots of traffic on narrow streets with one main highway (Interstate 5) and one commuter train running through the town. Folks are friendly. Businesses are small. Great shallow, sandy beaches. Visit Ki's on the beach for fabulous food at great prices with a view of the sand and water. Very, very casual. The town has a great library facility and senior center.

Our third family trip to Encinitas, a charming beach town, was a delightful experience. Its quiet and walkable streets made it an ideal destination for a family vacation. We cycled along Neptun Avenue and relaxed on the beach near the Stone Steps. The town boasts a variety of great restaurants and coffee shops. We highly recommend Atelier-Mannana and Leu Leu, but be sure to book in advance! Herb and Sea is another must-try.

I love everything about Encinitas.

I love everything about Encinitas. It is one of the spots where you can go and feel like a local even if your not. I have stayed at the 12 Senses Retreat which was super cool with their nature themed rooms and the amazing hostess. And it is just up the road from Swammi's Beach and the Self Relization Center, which is gorgeous. I have stayed at Brisas Pacific Hotel which was super affordable and a few minutes walk to the beach. You can pretty much walk everywhere in Encinitas. I plan to move there myself soon :)

Charming surf town.

Charming surf town. We enjoyed walking the beach, watching the local surfers and the sunset from the bluffs. Plenty of shopping and restaurants all within walking distance. Bigger box type stores for groceries, etc within about a 10 minute drive. Traffic was not bad. We visited San Diego Botanical Garden and highly recommend.

I grew up in north county and Encinitas was a regular stomping ground. Great restaurants and shopping and it offers a train stop that will get you to/from union station in San Diego where you can catch an Uber or bus to the airport while enjoying breathtaking views!

It is an amazing B&B run by Liz and Carol. It feels like staying at a friend’s house ! It is located in a quiet residential neighborhood in Leucadia, Encinitas. Breakfast was always delicious and very healthy which we liked a lot. We stayed in the lovely Nantucket suite for 4 nights. It also had a patio with high table and chairs, where we usually sat to enjoy the SoCal morning sunshine and to discuss our plans for the day.
