Private Cottage! Easy Walk Through The Park To Encinitas And Moonlight Beach.

Relax and unwind in this fully restored and 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. 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. Want a private room for yoga, meditation, painting or ?, then you’ll appreciate the detached120 SF studio that is reserved for our guests.
Only 10 minutes from the Coaster station, you can leave your car at home. Ride the Coaster to San Diego or get on the Amtrak for a trip to LA and beyond. If you drive, we have off street parking for your vehicle.

VRBO should use this listing as a perfect example of how a VRBO should be run. The unit was clean, beautifully thought out, and organized with well written outlines of directions of appliances if needed. it was the perfect vacation home.

Fantastic Cottage!!
We absolutely loved the cottage and the convenience of walking to downtown Encinitas. The property was immaculate, cozy, and had everything you would need for an enjoyable stay. The communication with Tom was excellent...he made sure that we had everything we needed. We can't wait to return for a longer visit!
