Great rental property

"We rented both units so had access to the full property and patios. Great place for two families to stay together. The only issue we had was one of the units, the downstairs bedroom and bath had quite a few ants. It was not pervasive in the units, and they had treatments around the property, but ..."…"

    5 / 5
    We have been traveling to Encinitas since 1984. We have stayed in motels, rental houses, and with family. This unit was the most satisfying living experience we have had. It is right at the beach. The great room and kitchen area accommodates all our family at once. The out door seating area is great for dining. The bedrooms gave privacy to everyone. The lawn area became the Spike Ball competetion court. The view from the deck of the ocean is wonderful. We were here during covid19 so did not go to any restaurants. Instead our family took turns cooking gourmet meals for each other. We did send one person to Handel's Ice cream, to be eaten at home. Rebecca is easy to talk to and work with. WE WILL BE BACK. Thank you Carol and All…

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time and the house was perfect for our large family. It would have been nice to know that it was a duplex and that the other renters would be looking down on us from their balcony. Fortunately, we only had 2 days that overlapped, but that is a strange set-up and for the amount of money we spent, it would have been miserable for an entire week. We found many restaurants that provided great take-out. We loved Haggo's tacos and loved being able to get to the beach quickly.…
