"We walked into this vacation rental ready to have our first Thanksgiving by the beach. The townhouse was tastefully decorated and well equipped for our family of four. This two bedroom townhome had several sleep options that made it more like a three bedroom. The kitchen was fully functional, clean and fully equipped. One of our favorite areas was the balcony! Great for watching the sunset and playing cards. The beach was about a 15 minute walk three minute drive very accessible to have daily...

Oceanfront Oasis-Weekend Getaway-Beachy Oceanfront Home on Encinitas Bluffs
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (7)
"Although you can’t get a better view, the house itself is lacking at this price point. It has been updated some, but improvements are still needed. The stairs from the garage to the main floor are carpeted and are filthy. This is also the first impression because you enter through the garage. All the bedrooms are carpeted & need replaced as well. The master had an odor but improved with fabric disinfectant. The gas fireplaces were both non-functional, despite the additional energy charge.

The home is a bit older, overall in good condition, just a few little things primarily outside such as glass wall panels that have fallen out of alignment, some holes between the ground and wall especially where the putting green is (luckily no golf balls went down them), and the...
