Megan L.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Not as expected. For starters, we arrived 20 mins after check-in and the place was still being cleaned. The A/C wasn’t working and rooms weren’t cooling off with the windows open. It was too hot to sleep in and we weren’t hearing back from the host. Once we heard back he said he wouldn’t have a remote for the A/C until after our visit. On top of that, there was an ant infestation throughout the kitchen and we couldn’t leave anything on the counters. When we addressed this issue, the host was dismissive. The only positive to this stay was the location.

Great Moonlight Beach stay

This Encinitas property was a great find. Everything was as described and it was a wonderful accommodation as respite from our remodel at home. Our host let us know he was very available as needed. What a great walkable neighborhood to the beach, coffee, restaurants etc. We are definitely planning a return!

Very well-appointed unit in a fantastic location. Just footsteps away from main strip of restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping in downtown Encinitas and then a few minute walk to a beautiful beach. Unit is perfect for a couple trying to get away for a quick trip in the area.
