Beautiful property in excellent location

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It is located in a quiet complex and was very spacious. We loved sipping coffee by the pool while enjoying the amazing ocean view. Being able to walk to restaurants and a nearby playground made it an excellent choice for travels with children. And this property is only a few blocks from my favorite coffee shop, Lofty, which was an added bonus! We would definitely chose to stay here again.

We would stay here again.

Overall this was a very good rental with lots of space. Beds were quite comfortable. We had everything we needed and the pool & hot tub were great for the kids. Very close to the beach too. Our only suggestions would be that it could use a very thorough cleaning (light fixtures were dusty) and a few minor repairs (knobs on the stove and one burner we couldn't light). Bunk beds in the third bedroom would be better for two families than the three twin beds. Another gate opener would have been handy too. We really appreciated all the paper & soap supplies which not all rentals provide. We found all the attractions very handy on the freeway, this location is great.

Best beach location - spacious - but allergy sufferers beware!

For our two couples and 8-year-old, this condo was perfectly located and well laid out. It's spaciousness and amenities were just what we needed to be comfortable. During our stay we did experience a couple of maintenance issues, but the owner was responsive in handing them. The only bigger problem is hard to solve - there was a mildew odor throughput the condo. This is a tough problem with beach property, but nonetheless something that affects those of us who are sensitive to odors and allergic to molds. Both the other wife and I suffered major allergy attacks for most of our stay, which cleared up as soon as we left. Our husbands and the little girl, however, had no such issues, so it won't affect everyone. Back on the positives, Moonstone Beach Park and the beach are amazing! Perfect sand, great rolling low surf, grass area, clean restrooms and shower - even a snack bar! The condo worked great for 5 people. The 3rd bathroom is a great feature. The kitchen was reasonably stocked for a vacation property and the gas BBQ came in handy one night. We loved the pool and hot tub and enjoyed watching the sunset from the pool deck most nights. The minor maintenance issues we had were - heat didn't work (someone had turned off the gas??), ESPN not on the correct channel (I know that's picky, but when your team is on Monday night football, a big deal!), knobs falling off stove, and one burner wouldn't light. Also the water on the fridge door didn't function, but apparently isn't filtered, so wouldn't have helped to have it anyway. Housekeeping items that were minor inconveniences were that the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes when we arrived and the BBQ was filthy. These were all things that the owners addressed as we brought them up. Bottom line - this was a good base camp for exploring the San Diego area and also enjoying a beach vacation, especially with a group that includes a small child. The location, size of the unit, owner responsiveness and condo layout are 5 star.

Beautiful property in a perfect location

Property was as described and the location is an easy walk to Moonlight Beach. The noise meter on the wall was a bit annoying since when the condo is quiet it is already at 45 db. We were unaware that we would be required (requested) to wash the towels before leaving to assist with turn around as the reservation includes a hefty additional fee. We had read about the noise from upstairs in the reviews. It's true. Children of the resident were frequently awake and stomping around between 3:30 -5:00 n the morning which made the noise meter seem completely irrelevant to us. We also realized that it was out of the owners control. The property manager however was quick to respond if we needed anything when contacted and the accommodations were beautiful.

Great location for family getaway

Our visit consisted of my husband and me, our son and his wife and their 2 and 4 year old daughters, plus our daughter’s 13 year old daughter. Plenty of room for all. Decibel meter was not an issue. Lovely furnishings and very comfortable beds. Great having 2 master suites with the 3rd bedroom/ 3 bed set up just across the hall from master #2. Kitchen set up was good. Also very nice having the pool just beyond grassy area of the patio.

Great location but not too clean

Great location and I felt very safe. However the cleanliness was lacking. On our first night I ended up having to sweep the floors (they needed to be mopped but I didn’t have a bucket to use) and found dog hair and dust under the couches as well as a dog ball in the cousin of the couch. The kitchen counters were dirty and the coffee pot had caked on coffee that I personally scrubbed out. The refrigerator handles were very dirty with pieces of food particles. The top bunk of the bunkbeds had sand in the sheets when we pulled the bedding down. There was Womens hair in the bottom of the shower that we ended up cleaning before showing. You should also be aware that around 6:30 in the morning there is a child that lives in the townhome on the top floor that make a lot of noise running around. There is also a train track close by that sounds the horn at night time which made it difficult for my oldest to fall asleep.

Noise meter in Living Room

Beautiful location and community. Several big issues- we completely understand need to manage noise levels for all, especially in a apartment situation. The harsh Directive to us was nothing over 70db or you are immediately kicked out & no refunds. The noise meter in living room would be at that if we were talking at normal levels. We essentially loud whispered and read closed caption on TV instead of jearing the shows. The folks beside us and above us were clearly NOT under same Directive creating great difficulty for my grandson to sleep. You should not require different behavior of renters than full time residents. Very oppressive situation. Their is NOTHING gourmet about the kitchen. Antique appliances and flea market pots & pans were extremely disappointing. I honestly do not believe majority of frying pans are safe to consume food cooked in them. The floors and countertops were extremely dirty. This was extremely upsetting since my grand baby is crawling and since there is an additional large fee for cleaning added to top of rental fees. Bottom line - update listing to be more honest & clear or make improvements.

Good Stay

Overall was a good stay and a nice property and setup. Only complaint was how loud the upstairs tenants were. It seems if we are required to keep the noise under 70 decibels, then they would do the same. Child running around and screaming at 6:30 am everyday.

Great place to stay!!

Large unit, great location, very clean and comfortable. Beds were comfortable, plenty of towels, beach towels, beach chairs, etc. The noise meter was a bit over the top but I guess they are trying to get you to not have parties or large groups. We pretty much only slept and showered there anyway. We did enjoy the beautiful ocean views from the pool area. I was a little paranoid about the noise from 3 teenage boys but looks like we didn’t disturb anyone even with playing music and big jenga at the pool. Would recommend to anyone and would definitely stay there again. The only drawback was the lengthy instructions getting into the unit and all the different keys and remotes.

Wonderful spot in Encinitas.

Great spot right next to Full Moon Beach. Everything as advertised. We were a little worried about the decibel meter and extreme warnings about sound but just had a normal family gathering (no wild party) and everything was okay. Actually, the family living above was more noisy than us. There is a sound proof problem with this place as we could hear a lot going on upstairs.

A very classy and roomy apartment located up the hill from a great beach

The location is great. The shared pool and patio space overlooks the cliffs and out to the Pacific ocean. You can walk to the beach down a fairly steep hill street to the beach in a few short minutes. 5 minute walk to great coffee shop and popular ice cream shop. Just a little further to reach other great restaurants and shops along Encinitas' main road (the 101). The condo felt fairly private, but you do share the space with the other residences that live in the complex. So when in the shared pool and jacuzzi space you will have other neighbors condos overlooking the area. Attached garaged was also a separate entrance, through a motorized gate, but the overall space was jointly shared with another residence. They were friendly and this did not bother us. The condo was well furnished and felt fairly spacious. Lots of upgraded appliances in the kitchen and decent furniture throughout the condo. We couldn't seem to be able to turn on the AC, so we left the windows open. The constant train horns anywhere you are in Encinitas are fairly constant. As previous reviews have mentioned, there is a noise (decibel) measuring unit in the corner of the main living area. It was constantly on our minds and seemed a bit out of the norm. The decibel level that you are supposed to stay below is 70 (up from 50 previously). You could almost meet this level running the sink or opening a soda/pop can. We were constantly reminding our 5 year old daughter to keep quite. It wasn't that bad overall and we never received any warnings or calls letting us know that we had gone above 70 decibels, but it did feel like we were in a Black Mirror episode at times. It was odd, you could watch the TV at a slightly above average level with no issue and it never went above 70 decibels. On that note, we never found the remote control to the living room TV, so couldn't adjust the volume anyway. Close to the beach, many grocery stores, downtown Encinitas, the coastal 101 and the main 5 highway to get North and South to downtown San Diego. Worth going into downtown Encinitas for Lofty Coffee, Modern Times Brewery, The Taco Stand and the Encinitas Fish Shop. Head North on the 101 for quick drive to Fish 101. It was also quick trips to Legoland and back into San Diego for the Zoo.

Room for a group but meant for a couple.

Such a lovely beachhouse and a great location! Spacious and well appointed and having the green space outside and the pool/hot tub was so nice! Not sure if the listing still says there is private beach access via stairs but those are now closed which we were not informed of until the week before. Still a convenient location but was one of the reasons we chose this house. The main frustration for our family was the giant noise meter with huge red numbers on the wall. The house has plenty of room for a lot of guests - three bedrooms, three bathrooms and roomy living and kitchen areas. However it is meant for a quiet couple. We have family in the area and the cousins were simply playing cards at night chatting and laughing and we set the noise meter off multiple times. The neighbors above are very sensitive to noise so guests are supposed to be ridiculously quiet or receive a text and risk getting kicked out. Although by 7am it sounded like a heard of elephants lived above every morning so the noise consideration certainly did not go both ways. Lovely home and great location but not meant for a relaxing family gathering with chatter and laughter and typical family noise if that is what you are looking for.

Could not have asked for a better place to stay with my family of 4 adults and 4 children. We had a fantastic time and we attribute it to this home that was spacious, had plenty of amenities and things we needed (and also did not know we needed), proximity to attractions and of course the beach. The place was clean and perfect. We will definitely come back again.

Great! Except one thing...

We love coming to Encinitas and have two young children (2 & 3.5) so we need a house. This is maybe the best one we’ve stayed in in Encinitas - clean, practical, PERFECT location and beach accessibility. Plus the pool and hot tub. Awesome. The ‘one thing’ is the noise limit. We assumed 70 decibels would be like a loud party. It’s not, it’s basic gentle conversation. 50 decibels is whispering. My 3YO daughter walked into the kitchen and laughed a normal kid’s laugh at how great the place was and the decibel counter hit 82. We’d essentially broken our contract within 2 mins of arriving. All that said, we behaved normally and didn’t make excessive noise and hey, we weren’t kicked out! But just be aware the noise limits you’re signing up to are very low. Apart from that, an amazing place to stay!
