About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Coastal life meets tropical paradise at this gem of a home in Cardiff by the Sea (Encinitas) - a quaint beach town in San Diego - central to everywhere you want to be. If you have kids (or are a kid!) then Legoland, SeaWorld, Birch Aquarium, San Diego Zoo, Wildlife Safari Park, Balboa Park, Del Mar Fairgrounds are all a short drive away. If you want a hipster, romantic get-away, you can just walk down the hill to the beach, trendy restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, surfing, sunbathing, people-watching, and just unplugging.
This sophisticated airy Mediterranean style home is decked out with chic contemporary furniture and attention to every detail. From luxurious cotton bedsheets, feather-down pillows, large jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom, central AC, chef’s kitchen, Nespresso machine with pods, BBQ, exotic Japanese Koi pond, beach supplies (boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella, beach mats, igloos) to children’s entertainment (chalkboard wall, bunk bed (twin on top and full below), games, kids tent, sand toys, DisneyPlus). Plenty of zen workspace if you need to get a little work done from home - a desk in a quiet bedroom or another looking out into the garden. For those who want to just stay home and socialize and unwind, you will truly enjoy the private luscious tropical backyard with water fountains and a fire pit. The ocean air landscape boasts fresh fruit trees - orange varieties to quench your thirst, plums, guavas, meyer lemons, loquats just depending on the season. There’s indoor-outdoor living for sitting or dining to truly wrap yourself in the Southern California experience. This is a great home for any reunion, be it family or multi-family vacation, girls’ spa weekend, boys’ surf trip get-away (there’s even an outdoor backyard shower), or if you just want to spread out. There are 5 bedrooms - a two-bedroom open connected master suite plus three additional separate bedrooms (additional aerobed available upon request), 4 full bathrooms, indoor/outdoor dining, indoor/outdoor living spaces, bonus game room overlooking the koi pond, full laundry room (with a laundry chute). Private gated home with a large driveway - ample parking and secure for the kids. Nice local City parks with play structures / fields / huge skate park / tennis courts / pickle ball. Host is available to help in any way from recommendations to concerns making this a truly unique and personal experience. Personal chef available upon request for additional charge.

Enjoyed staying here gathering our family together. Host was wonderful with quick communication. We cooked and utilized the kitchen everyday. Would have liked a few more small kitchen appliances, but the Nespresso machine was a great plus! Rooms and bathrooms nicely appointed. The garage space was also greatly appreciated.
We could not have asked for a better experience or a more beautiful place to stay. Sonia is a total pro and very accommodating. Best VRBO experience we’ve ever had
