We stayed for 6 nights in January. Loved the neighborhood walkability to several beaches and a good local taco shop. Excellent restaurant choices in Encinitas. Friendly and respectful host. Hope to return!
Beautiful beachside cottage. Short walks away from amazing beaches and downtown Encinitas- the house is only matched by the incredible landscaping. Fantastic stay.
Great home, perfect fit for our needs. Close to all Encinitas has to offer and a short walk or drive to where ever we wanted to go. Would definitely stay there again.
Wonderful hosts!
Great Location, Spotlessly Clean, Perfect Vacation
We had the best time staying at Wendy’ bungalows. It is a 3min walk to Stone Steps beach and in a lovely quiet residential street. The house is very homely, spotlessly clean and very well stocked with all the bits and pieces you often miss in a rental.
Wendy was a great host and was available when needed for advice and super flexible with a couple of additional requests.
The garden is very spacious for this part of the world and a tranquil haven to chill out or take an outdoor shower after a dip in the ocean.
We will be back!
Our family had the loveliest time at this beautiful and cozy spot. The garden is beyond compare and Wendy and Paul are thoughtful, lovely hosts. They went out of their way to see to our comfort - so very glad we had the chance to stay. Might have been our first visit but certainly won't be our last.
This wea the perfect vacation home for our family. The place was quiet, convenient, comfortable. Thank again you Paul & Wendy for letting us use your home and hope to visit again.
The house felt like home. Anything and everything we needed was right there in the home. The owners and the house were warm and welcoming. We were in town
for only four nights visiting family with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Wish we had more time to enjoy the grounds of the house. It had beautiful flowers and trees; perfectly charming.
The house was situated within short walking distance of two access points to the Pacific and to downtown Encinitas.
This was the best experience we have had with an out-of-town rental. Wendy and Paul are wonderful.
Wendy and Paul’s cottage was the perfect beach getaway. In addition to the 5 minute beach walk, loved the easy walks to restaurants, coffee shops, massages and more. Perhaps the best part of this listing were the amenities—they had EVERYTHING you could ask for and then some. Would definitely return.
We had a wonderful time. Wendy is really nice and welcoming. It had everything you needed. The beds are very firm,several pillows to choose from, our son was comfortable on the pullout. Neighborhood was quiet, street parking and close to beach & restaurants. Thank you for having us.
We had a fantastic 4 days at this beautiful craftsman house. This was our first trip to the area and we will certainly go back. Wendy and Paul were wonderful hosts.
The house was perfect for the 4 of us. The garden is beautiful and the beach is only one block away. There are quite a few steps down to the beach, but it is well worth it.
