Fantastic Location!

Wow! We will be coming back to this property. My family loved staying here. We walked to Moonlight beach, the park, and all over the town of Encinitas. There are so many places in the house to sleep and relax. The owner was so responsive and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for the perfect beach getaway.

Family gettaway

The place was perfect for our family get-together. Kitchen was nicely stocked with the essentials for cooking. Lovely big dining table for us all to have dinner together. Lots of spaces for hangouts without being on top of one another. The proximity to the beach, park and shops could not have been better. I would be thrilled to return one day. It was a really special vacation.

Getaway by the Shore

The Modern Beach House was the perfect place for our extended family to enjoy a relaxed vacation. The kitchen/living room/dining room were all part of a large שרק so we could all be together when prepping meals. The house is very well equipped for fun at the beach. Any issues that came up were quickly dealt with by our host Rebecca.

Great summer beach house

We had a blast in Encinitas this weekend and would love to stay again! It was awesome that there were so many beach items available for us to use and we barely needed to use any of our personal items. Rebecca is a great host and so jealous of her property. I guess the only bummer was that there wasn’t a jacuzzi anymore but that was minor with all the activities we had planned.

Amazing Location & Great Home

We had an extra long weekend with our adult kids and their partners + two grand-babies. This house was perfect for us. It’s half block to the beach and a great playground. One block from the start of “downtown Encinitas”. Completely walkable to everything you could want. The 2Q room was perfect for the family of four; we used the other three Q bedrooms for couples; and the master-K for us. They built a twin-bunk into the walk-in closet of the 2Q room (great use of space!). There is a bathroom for each bedroom! We spent a lot of time on the deck and bbq’d twice. Relatively quiet neighborhood. The kitchen was fantastically large and we loved that the dining table could seat us all. The house was furnished as pictured and lacked for nothing. The home could us a little TLC here and there, but overall, we were very pleased and would definitely stay here again. This home had the old-school VRBO vibe with a pantry full of spices and random goodies left from previous renters. A++

Amazing property with incredibly thoughtful host

Our group absolutely loved staying at this property. The home is beautiful, clean, and very spacious, and is only a few minutes walk from the beach. The host is also incredibly attentive, responsive, and even dropped off donuts from a famous local pastry shop for our group. I can't speak highly enough of this rental!
