Beachfront Only in Encinitas, California

“It was nice place in a nice area.”

“There’s AC but it does nothing to cool the house because there are only a few vents that actually move the air around. The top floor is complete unusable so there go 2 bedrooms. The bottom floor is more usable but still incredibly hot during the daytime. Hosts are cheap; AC was set to 80 when we arrived late at night and we were sweltering. Took hours to cool off and only because we opened the doors. Everything is cheap and looks unmaintained. Remote to the TV is unusable. The two sets of shades for the front windows need to be pulled down by a rod with a rusty nail precariously hanging off the side. Another set of shades hangs on a precariously weak curtain rod. The giant skylight looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in years and has filth piled up on it. The countertops all feel like they have soot on them. The garage is incredibly narrow so no one ended up parking in it. The location and view is obviously great but after that wears off this place is just annoying to stay at.”

“First off - the place is beautiful and well taken care of, despite clearly aging. Second - the view is amazing. The sound of the ocean surreal. Kitchen well appointed. But. You are right on top of another party in the condo below you. And it’s awkward. They look at you, you look at them. It’s like having uninvited guests crash your party, for either group. My only other issue were the constant texts from the managing company about noise complaints; threatening to escalate the situation if it wasn’t addressed immediately. I was on the trip with my 80yo parents. We were all asleep, texts were coming thru at 130a and waking me up.. The other party, in the condo below, was making noise - not enough to keep us up, mind you - So that was very frustrating.”

“Fantastic property! The floor plan is open and extremely spacious. Comfortably fit our family of 10. It’s within walking distance to several coffee shops and restaurants. Beach is accessible by a steep trail. Moonlight beach is a quick walk or drive away. Definitely recommend!”

“Great place”
