Lovely little place

Just spent 5 nights at this lovely little Casita. Had a relaxing time and loved the location! Walking distance to downtown Encinitas, Moonlight Beach and some amazing restaurants. The Casita is located at the end of very private street, was fully equipped with everything that you could need.

Stunning apartment

The Casita was beautifully decorated and maintained. We had lots of privacy and were just a 5 min drive or 20 min walk to the beach and downtown area.

Great location

The casita was super comfortable and very easy to access. Our host was great and very friendly. They have a dog that is super sweet but as long as you ignore him he’ll just mind is own business. Location is walking distance to moonlight beach and downtown Encinitas. Would highly recommend staying here

Cozy casita

Loved staying at the casita. Short walk to downtown, restaurants, grocery store and ocean. We love to walk so for us walking 1/2 mile to everything was easy. The casita has all your kitchen needs it really is well stocked. Eric who lives on the property that is separate from the casita, is very accessible and is very helpful.

Best place ever!

This place has everything anybody would ever want in a VRBO home! The kitchen has everything you need and the bed is super comfortable! This thing that stands out the most is Eric the Vrbo! He goes out of his way to make sure you stay is so comfortable! His dog is super friendly and us every day we come back home! The beach is so close you can walk or you can take the bike for a nice little ride! Such a beautiful place and great location! You don’t want to stay anywhere else! Enjoy!

Exceeded Expectations—Wonderful Stay!

The Casita was beautiful, clean, well maintained and extremely welcoming and comfortable! Eric, the host, was very personable, friendly and super helpful with knowledgeable of the area and generous in every way to ensure that I had a nice stay at the casita and in Encinitas. He even brought me local produce to share! I really loved being greeted by Bravo when I would come and go as well. Thank you so much Eric, Doris and Bravo for helping make my stay so wonderful and relaxing!

Refresh

I stayed for 30 days and it felt like it went by in a week. It was located close to everything that you could need, most importantly the ocean and the unique town of Encinitas. By close, I mean walking distance! Doris and Eric were accessible and responsive making the logistics of the trip easy. Bravo, their dog, was a plus who was hard to leave, and I’m not a dog owner. All in all, a terrific stay for my peace of mind and well being!

Relaxing Retreat in Coastal Beach Community

We enjoyed an idyllic eight days at the Casita in Encinitas, and have returned home with our batteries fully recharged! Eric and Mandy are friendly and welcoming hosts, and the casita is beautiful. The fully stocked kitchen allowed us to prepare some of our meals on site, the bed is very comfortable, the front deck is an oasis for reading or just relaxing with a glass of wine. We used this as home base and explored surrounding beach communities and gorgeous San Diego, with all it has to offer. It was delightful to return home each evening to the comfortable casita. We'll be back!

California the old school way

Great getaway spot in one of the best spots in North County. Eric and Bravo (Hosts) are awesome. The only bad thing about this property is the parking. Its not the hosts fault, but the neighbor. I have never met anyone so upset about a parking spot. Someone needs a hobby. Definitely will be going back to stay again.

Weekend wedding stay

Great mother in law apartment. Very loud. I-5 is REAL!!!. Bring ear plugs. I stayed here years ago. Did not remember it being this noisy. Bravo always made our day, we love dogs! Window cover on kitchen window would be nice as there is no bedroom door to close. The light from outside shine’s in your eyes while sleeping. Over all, close to town, beach etc. Great wedding and weather! Safe Property.

Nicely Decorated

The unit was described well. It is within walking distance to the beach and train. (Less than a mile). Eric was available to answer any questions. The one negative was we stayed in August and the unit got very warm. We had to keep the windows open for some breeze. The noise from Hwy 5 was very loud and disturbing. We found it annoying sitting on the lovely patio due to the highway noise.

Home Away From Home

We stayed here for 2 weeks. The Casita was sunny - never needed lights during the day due to so many windows, yet still felt private. Well-appointed so easy to find needed utensils for cooking, towels, laundry, etc. Host was communicative and hospitable, checking on us almost every day with recommendations of places to go, to eat, and things to do. Parking was easy. The 4-year old boxer was very friendly - we're dog lovers, but if you are not this might not be for you. The hard scape is beautiful and about a 15 minute walk to Moonlight Beach. There were a few minor issues, some of which were taken care of, some not. We would have liked (but not a deal killer) a full length mirror, a toaster oven, and a broom. There were plenty of other cleaning supplies. Overall, we have no problem recommending this place.

Cozy Setting

Small casitas for two with all the amenities. Nice seating area outside. Great shower and comfortable bed. Close to the freeway, but it didn't bother us. Enjoyed a full day at Moonlit Beach. Liked how convenient it was to get there from our place. Our son and daughter-in-law live in the area, so we are planning to be return guests.

Beach life

So I stayed at the property for the whole month of August! I thought the location was great. It’s just right up the street from the beach Eric’s dog Bravo is great we visited a lot lol it was an easy check in. Eric is a really great host we got along great so all in all, I would stay there again I love the town of Encinitas And this place works just fine. It’s a real nice place. I really enjoyed myself. You can’t be going to the beach every day, so thanks again for the great stay you guys I will see you soon!

Encinitas ADU

I loved the property, the owner, his kids and dog. The property has a very nice expensive architecture and landscaping and Encinitas is awesome. The only reason this is not 5 stars for everything is the proximity to the freeway. When you are inside you could consider it white noise, but outside it is pretty noisy. I would go back though.
