Easy Walk Through The Park To Encinitas And Moonlight Beach. Relax and unwind in this fully updated 1940’s beach cottage just two blocks east of historic highway 101\. We’ve tried to think of all the little details that make for a perfect stay from the super quiet Fujitsu heating and cooling unit, to a six port USB charging station for your electronics, a blue tooth speaker, and quality hangers in the two closets. You will appreciate the California king bed, two luggage racks, ceiling fans, armoire, sectional sofa, 55 inch Roku TV in the great room and and Samsung TV in the bedroom. Access your Netflix and other subscription services. The kitchen has a 13.9 CF refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, a two burner induction cook-top, compact dishwasher, deep stainless steel sink, toaster oven with convection bake, a microwave, and a coffee maker. The house water is filtered and tastes great. You’re an easy 10-20 minute walk to top notch coffee houses, the great shopping, and fantastic dining in historic Encinitas. Enchanting Moonlight Beach is close as well and we provide the beach chairs, umbrella, towels, cooler and a wagon to haul it all. Come home to an outdoor shower to remove the sand and salt. Bring your tennis or pickleball rackets as there are public courts 1 minute away. Only 10 minutes from the Coaster station, you can leave your car at home.

Better than the pictures and the outdoor space was spectacular. Walking distance to everything we needed. Hope to stay again! ##### Diane S.

The location is beyond convenient, within a 5-minute walk to the park with tons of pickleball courts, Moonlight Beach, downtown shops, restaurants, and the commuter train to San Diego. The cottage is equipped with more amenities than most will ever need. We had a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the beautifully landscaped outdoor patio with our friends and ordered dinner from local restaurants. If you're looking for a wonderful spot to enjoy the Encinitas coastal area, you'd need not look any further. We had one small issue with a battery in a smoke alarm and Tom responded within minutes to address the issue. Tom and Peggy are the best hosts! ##### Rick H. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ---
