We loved our stay in the cottage in Encinitas! It was the perfect spot for our family of 4. We enjoyed sitting on the front steps and watching the sunset over the Ocean, the quick walk down the hill to Swami's beach and into town for ice cream, and the hot tub each evening. Kids loved running around in the backyard and enjoyed an orange from the beautiful orange tree in the yard. It was quiet and cozy and great for making meals in versus eating out every meal! Go to Lazy Acres store, it was the best!Only drawback was the dishwasher not working, which they property owners were quick to respond to and offer a solution for. And a few ants (which seem to be an Encinitas-wide problem, not isolated to this cottage), they really weren't that much of a bother.Thanks for having us, we'd most definitely return!

We had a lovely stay. The home was conveniently located close to downtown Encinitas. The home was in a quiet neighborhood. It was clean, spacious, and well stocked. The property group responded quickly to any questions. The outdoor space was wonderful, we really enjoyed the hot tub and views of the ocean. Highly recommend staying here!
