Be aware when you first walk in that there will be a humid odor simply accoiated with having the luxury of an indoor pool, but this dissipates quickly once you open the doors and is totally worth it.

Having an indoor heated pool during our vacation was very special. The kitchen was large and we could bbq in the area in front of the house.

 The house was little old but was very cozy and clean. Everything was thoughtfully arranged. The view was spectacular and sunset was unforgetful! Peaceful and lovely place that I can't recommend enough! ### 6/10 Okay #### Loretta M. 25 Jul 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Wonky beach house with pool and view This could be a fun, quirky, charming house if it were given a deep clean and kept well maintained. Many windows and the upstairs slider wouldn't open so we couldn't capture a breeze, and the house stayed warm, humid and stuffy. Ceiling fans would help. The pool was great. View was spectacular.

This house is a total easy living beach house. Lots of room and character! It wasn’t the fanciest or cleanest (lots of cobwebs, dust, the screen doors all fell off and only two tv’s) but it was perfect for my family. Overall, priced right and didn’t have to worry about kids breaking things or trashing the house. Property management very responsive! ##### Jill B.

The property manger was excellent, it was easy to check in and very reactive to questions. We had an issue with the Pool heater and they fixed it very quickly. We had a great time, the place was very nice and unique with the indoor pool which we did use. The house does need some work and is not in pristine condition but we felt that it was an overall great experience and the location and views overcome the condition of the home. The house is clean and put together. They also provide beach chairs and equipment which is fantastic. Overall great experience and we will visit again in the future and recommend this house to anybody that loves the ocean views and being walking distance to a beach. ##### Keith D. Stayed 4 nights in May 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Anthony C. 23 May 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Great View The house has a great view. However, once we checked in I was in communication with I believe the homeowner and property manager. House is very worn, furniture looks as if it was from grage sales, all out side furniture was rusted/broken, security issues, and the house had a terrible smell. We never used the pool due to debris/sand in the pool. I took multiple pictures and videos throughout the house and shared with the owner. ##### Anthony C. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lynn H., Bend, Oregon 23 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Encinatas, You Can't Beat the Location. This is a large, older home, meticulously clean with a fantastic view of the Pacific; and walking distance to many shops and restaurants. The beds are comfortable with nice bedding, and offer privacy to 8 people (sleeps 10 with two beds in one of the rooms). The kitchen is well-equipped, but bring your own spices and condiments as well as food, of course. The pool is well maintained and clean; a fun extra! Being an older home, you can expect to see minor maintenance issues. The owner is aware of this, and is in the process of updating.... This, in no way, interferes with a great location to visit for a family vacation. Dogs are welcome and have a fenced in area on the property, and many parks within walking distance to enjoy. We highly recommend this home in a friendly neighborhood. ##### Lynn H. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shannon C., Los Angeles 9 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good Value The Ups - - Nothing beats that cliff-side ocean view, which you can enjoy from the large wrap around patio off the living room, the patio off the upstairs master, and you can even watch the ocean from the master shower and vanity in privacy. We spent 90% of our waking hours on the patio or down at the beach - the beach entrance is about 2 blocks away. - Everything you need is in walking distance, and while we didn't visit due to Covid and all, there are SO many cute restaurants and shops just down the street. - The house is stocked with everything you need for the beach, 10+ chairs, boogie boards, surf board, sand toys, towels, etc. W/D on site. Great BBQ. - Have to admit, we've never seen a house with this layout, including the pool in the living / kitchen area! We were all so curious as how the architecture came to be, and it was a memorable property for sure. - The owner and the property managers were kind, responsive, and communicative. The Trade-offs - Others have shared that the interior is a bit outdated. Just set your expectations. We were glad to be able to have this location for a holiday weekend in our budget. And if you have concerns, just let the sounds of crashing waves wash it all away. ##### Shannon C.

A few downsides - nothing major, but collectively a bit disappointing. House was just not that clean, there were some broken things (like handles missing from the window, hard to open the sliding doors because they were so old). There was a train passing periodically that woke me up multiple times at night. Some really strange wiring made turning on lights difficult (like, inside the toilet, there is a switch for the light above the bathtub, which is outside the toilet). There was no soap (apart from hand soap), or enough extra toilet paper so we had to buy our own even for our short stay. The kids from a neighboring house said, completely out of the blue, something like we should be worried and we shouldn't sleep. It also said in the handbook that there is a neighbor who we should be careful about, so maybe there's some bad history? ##### Cleopatra K.

What we got was an unsafe, neglected, filthy, smelly rustic property. For example: Safety & Security – most doors do not lock as they are broken or windows and doors don’t closer properly. Electric plugs in the kitchen, upstairs bedroom do not work at all and some come out of the wall when you unplug something. Entire House Smell - Smells like a bath house in August including chlorine and mold growth somewhere we couldn’t find. Pool is in the main part of the house next to the kitchen – no barrier so the moisture and chlorine smell penetrates the entire house Rust - Every metal fixture in the home is rusted (heating system intakes and vents, lamps, recessed lighting fixtures, door knobs, towel racks, shower curtains. Wood window shade hardware. Bathroom lighting fixtures Doors – when it rains it gets through the slider on the second floor and onto the carpet (maybe the mold source?) Lighting – Missing, burnt out and very dim wrong type of bulbs in almost every fixture. For example there were the twirly bulbs in overhead can fixtures which threw no light. Owner purchased the right bulbs and I installed. Dirty light switches, door handles everywhere that gets touched is dirty Slider Tracks and Window sills - Heavy dirt and rust film in the slider tracks, window sills. Tracks were cleaned by handyman Windows – Dirty at first which the ##### Michael A. Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2023
