10/10 Excellent
"Esteban in the lobby was especially helpful and courteous. I loved that they had chairs, umbrellas and towels available for our visits to the local beach a block away from the hotel. The room was very clean and spacious. The only small complaint I have is that I had requested an ocean view room which we weren’t given but I wasn’t going to create a fuss about it. I love that we could walk to a coffee shop in the morning, get breakfast and even walk to dinner. But if you want to take a short drive into downtown Encinitas, there’s tons of restaurants. If we travel to this area again, I’d definitely stay here"

"Our host Matt went above and beyond to assist us with any issues that came up. He was a truly extraordinary host, gracious, welcoming, and eager to make our stay at his lovely home as comfortable as possible. The bedrooms and bathrooms are comfortable, and the kitchen is equipped with every item you might wish to have (including multiple methods of coffee makers). Our extended family felt very relaxed and grateful to experience coastal living with breathtaking views. Thank you, Matt!"
