8/10 Good
"This stay was good! The staff was kind and tentative. It is nearby restaurants, and not far from the beach. We enjoyed the hot tub and pool! I did not experience any added on fees that were not expected as some have stated. I gave a 4 since the cleaning can be a bit better but other than that, it was a quiet, peaceful stay."

10/10 Excellent
"We are former Encinitas/Cardiff residents and returned for a weekend to visit our old haunts and friends. This property was the perfect place to stay. Here is what we especially noticed:- Great location: Close to the I-5 and equidistant to either downtown Encinitas or the beach.- Very comfortable unit and well outfitted.- Comfy outdoor patio area.- Available off-street parking.Bottom line: We'd definitely stay here again next time we're in town. But, for those unaware of the trains running through Encinitas, you do near the train whistles at all hours of the day/night...not a big deal for us, but something to be aware of if you've never visited before."

"My young teen grandson and I both enjoyed our two week stay very much. The location was excellent for our various activities in the area that included visits with family and friends and lifeguard camp for my grandson. Having a washer and dryer was especially handy as well as a fully functioning kitchen. Despite the summer heat, the location on the hilltop provided comfortable breezes and the balcony overlooking the quiet neighborhood with a view toward the ocean provided another relaxing space. We appreciated the responsiveness and warm hospitality of our hosts, Judy and Beau, that even included some freshly made cookies on our arrival. We are most grateful to them for a great stay and hope to return in the future."
