"We had a great stay! We have one member of the family that snores, and that can make traveling as a group difficult. Having a separate bedroom with a door was perfect for us!"

Impeccable Cape Cod Oceanfront Home Overlooking Swami's Beach.

Impeccable Cape Cod Oceanfront Home Overlooking Swami's Beach.

10/10 Excellent
"Three generations of our family enjoyed a wonderful beach vacation together. We loved the quiet location of the home, the energy of Encinitas, the close access to the beach, the feeling of safety in the area, and the excellent beach frontage that afforded miles of beach walking as well as bluff walking. Our dinners together on the deck watching the sunset were a delight. The rooms were spacious, all with ocean views. It felt like a well-loved home instead of a beach rental. We have already reserved for next year."
