Visitors rave about the “kitchen with literally everything in it,” the “backyard to die for,” and the “thoughtful touches” that make them “sad to leave.” Just 3 miles from the sand, this single-story retreat blends “linens and towels that felt like something out of a luxury hotel” with the warmth of home. Nestled in a “quiet neighborhood” minutes from top beaches, dining, and hiking trails, it’s a rare place where toddlers, grandparents, and everyone in between feel instantly comfortable. (We’re new to VRBO but not to hosting — we’ve welcomed approximately 50 guest stays on another platform, earning a perfect 5-star rating.) Welcome to Your Coastal Garden Retreat Step inside and you’ll discover what past guests describe as “immaculately clean” and “beautifully decorated” spaces, thoughtfully organized so everything is easy to find. With nearly 2,000 square feet on a single story, the home combines openness with coziness — offering plenty of room for family time as well as quiet corners to relax. Kitchen & Dining Guests call it “the most fully stocked kitchen in all the many places we have rented” and “a chef’s dream.” High-end stainless appliances, a generous island, and clearly labeled cabinets make cooking stress-free. The solid-wood farmhouse table expands to seat everyone for lively dinners or competitive board-game nights, and the 13-foot cabana doors invite breezy indoor–outdoor meals. Living Spaces The airy family room is perfect for games or movies on the smart TV, while the living room’s fireplace and restored 1896 Knabe grand piano (with digital player system) create a special atmosphere for gathering. Outdoor Paradise “A backyard to die for.” Step through the cabana doors to discover: Pergola-covered patio with comfortable seating Fire pit lounge for sunset cocktails and stargazing BBQ grill for easy cookouts Hammock for afternoon naps Children’s “adorable playhouse” plus toys and games that are “a huge hit” with kids Lush landscaping guests call “a spot of paradise” It’s the perfect setting for morning coffee, golden-hour cocktails, and making memories. Bedrooms & Workspace Primary Suite: Plush king bed, private bath, and what one guest described as “beds \[that\] were wonderfully comfortable… linens and towels felt like something out of a luxury hotel.” Three Additional Bedrooms: Two Queen and one with twin-over-twin trundle — all with “cozy mattresses and pillows.” Work-From-Home Ready: A front bedroom doubles as a serene office with L-shaped desk, ergonomic chair, and garden views. Family-Friendly Extras Families appreciate the stocked toys, books, and games, plus baby gear like a full-sized crib, Pack ’n Play, high chair, and baby bath. The fully fenced yard makes outdoor play easy and stress-free. Modern Comforts Central A/C + whole-house fan Eero mesh Wi-Fi system State-of-the-art water filtration system Smart TVs with satellite cable Location Guests love being “minutes to the beach” yet in a “quiet neighborhood.” Just 3 miles from Moonlight State Beach and near “amazing hiking trails right in the neighborhood,” you’ll also have easy access to Legoland (11 miles), Del Mar Fairgrounds (5 miles), La Jolla (16 miles), and downtown San Diego and airport (25 miles). Encinitas has been named one of Forbes’ Best Places to Travel, with “a laid-back California vibe with world-class beaches, shops, and dining” — and your quiet cul-de-sac retreat is right in the middle of it all. Why Guests Love Us “Blows all others out of the water” “Immaculately clean” “Best vacation rental ever” “There are not enough words on how amazing this home is” “Perfect is the word to sum up our stay” “Hands down the most well stocked house we have ever stayed in” “Amazing quiet neighborhood” Come see why so many families, couples, and groups call this their go-to Encinitas getaway — and why they keep coming back. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 accessible parking spaces - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - In-room accessibility - No lift - Single level property - Stair-free path to entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near an outlet shopping centre ### Things to do - Gym - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Parasailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Cleaning products are eco-friendly - Composting - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Reusable coffee/tea filters - Towels (changed on request) - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110900000/110893600/110893574/380e438c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Enci Rental - Pool Table, BBQ, 10 MinsTo Beach Olivenhain - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-30&endDate=2025-12-31&selected=110893574&PinnedHotelID=110893574&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34080000/34073500/34073447/5627ae5c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oceanfront 4Br House, Indoor Heated Pool, Sleeps 8-10 Downtown Encinitas - Sea view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 8.2 Very good 65 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-30&endDate=2025-12-31&selected=34073447&PinnedHotelID=34073447&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House, Multiple Beds, Patio, Garden View (Hidden Zen) | Private kitchen | Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99540000/99535600/99535511/f78eeb4b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Serene Coastal Home Sleeps 8 1 Mile From Beach!
