The outdoor space is nothing short of magical. There are many ways you can enjoy the space. We used the outdoor hot tub which was fun and the fireplaces/tiki torches made the experience feel like you’re in a different world. Downtown Encinitas is walkable and so close to the highway to explore the rest of San Diego. Kitchen was well stocked and chef grade appliances and pans. Loved our stay and highly recommend! ##### Lindsey S. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Missy S., Denver, CO Mar 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great every time! We love staying at Eric's PBC - The whole vibe of the place makes you relax instantly. It's full of light, even on cloudy days. He has stocked the kitchen with everything you need and more. All appliances are fabulous and everything is immaculately clean! Laundry right outside the back door. Juan the beautiful black lab is always ready with a welcome :) Neighborhood is quiet and convenient to everything. Thank you Eric ##### Missy S.
