Encinitas beach vacation rentals

*Beach Break* Oceanfront/Balcony/Walk Everywhere
Bart and Debra’s place was awesome! The place feels like you’re at a Disneyland hotel. The gardens are breathtaking, the pool was as good if not better than the beach itself. Restaurants are a one minute drive. The unit itself was super-clean and the parking is right next to the elevator which can be difficult in other units at this location. That was the BIG win for us. Would definitely return!

#3, Ocean Front Studio by the Beach in Carlsbad
We loved being so close to the beach and so close to Carlsbad Village; once we parked our car we walked everywhere. So nice to have designated parking, too. The place was very nice, queen bed super comfortable. The pullout bed was not as comfortable, but after layering the sofa seat cushions on the 2nd night it was much better. Everything was very clean, the kitchen was fully stocked, bedding and towels were high quality. We would definitely choose this unit again. We found it remarkably quiet despite being so close to everything. The team at Sea Breeze is VERY responsive, but even with that we had a couple of questions that never got answered. That did not impact our enjoyment. We walked to State Street and had an amazing breakfast at Wildland followed by some good boutique shopping, then ice cream at Handels; a great rooftop dinner during happy hour at Fresco, and the rest of the time we stayed right on our deck or on the beach at Sea Breeze. Can’t wait to do it again!

B5091 Pacific Blue One
Great location and great property. Lots of great restaurants and bars within walking distance. Pacific beach is very close and we found the walk the best part of the stay. Would recommend to anyone who wants to spend some time in this beautiful property

3bd Beach House A Strand of Paradise
Came here for our family Spring Break get away! We all had a wonderful time! The view is way better in person and the waves crashing at night meant a peaceful nights sleep! Highly recommend for families or group getaways! Fully stocked kitchen was an added bonus!

Hottest Neighborhood! Walk to Beach!
Great apartment in a prime location. Had everything we needed and coming and going was easy - very nice to not have to carry around keys. Only real complaint was that there was no functioning sliding door on the balcony, so it wasn’t accessible, but not that big of a deal. Other than that, great visit and will definitely be back and hopefully it will be fixed. Definitely recommend!

*3 Blocks to Beach w/ Beach Gear, Private Backyard
Would definitely recommend it . Super close to shopping center . Very peaceful and furniture and decoration are amazing. Can’t wait to book again

Ocean Breeze with ease, near Carlsbad Village
Great place to stay at. In walking distance of the beach, and Carlsbad Village. Great place for a weekend getaway. Quiet neighborhood.

Beachfront Luxury Vacation Condo in Oceanside
We stayed at Paul’s place over the spring break-LEGOLAND trip, family of four with two young kids. The apartment matched the description and was fully stocked. The beach toys , chairs, towels were an added bonus though it was cold when we stays and not much getting in the ocean. It’s close to the downtown and shops. We loved our stay. As other reviewer had mentioned the warping of the doors were a minor annoyance which we had to help kids close bathroom doors. Would recommend Paul’s place for anyone looking for a place in Oceanside - Carlsbad area.

Luxury New 2BR Home +Parking +Gated
Had a great stay! Everything was very clean looked exactly like the pictures. Jack was always responsive to my questions and any help I needed.

Bungalow w Hot Tub-Sauna-Cold Plunge
This was our second time staying in Paul & Amy's Carlsbad cottage and it proved once again to be a quiet and comfortable nest during our travels. Bright, airy, well-designed and super comfortable with a fantastic patio and backyard for winding down—addition of a fire pit made for a really relaxing evening. Centrally located with lots to do around, this is the perfect spot for small families and solo travelers wanting a bit of a break from the touristy options. Paul is very communicative and helpful, even sending over video instructions how to work the sauna and fire pit upon arrival— Highly recommend and will return again!

(Relist!) Relax at a Stunning 1931 Historic Tudor!
Great stay. House was clean and spacious and had all the essentials needed. Location was in a quiet neighborhood. Clear instructions provided and never had to message for the host for anything.

Pacific Beach Bungalow - Steps from Mission Bay!
Really enjoyed our stay. Great location for access to the beach and local restaurants and centrally located within a short drive to the heart of San Diego. Access to bikes a nice plus for rides along the beach. Unit was clean and comfortable, no complaints.

Private Getaway w Pool/BBQ/Firepit Large Backyard
We booked Suan and Jessica's place for Easter weekend. We had planned a trip to the Flower Gardens and Legoland in Carlsbad, both of which were less than 20 minutes away from where we were staying. Not only was the place conveniently located, it offered us a spot to enjoy our family's company and dedicate our time to our grandaughter. We barbecued, watched movies, swam in swimming pool, did our own arts and crafts, etc. We had an overall amazing time at a reasonable price without the chaos and limitations of booking a hotel room. We would definitely book this place in the future if we are in the area.

Renovated 3 Bedroom 2 Bathroom Close To The Coast
This place was clean and spacious. Had everything I needed and more. Great if you have a pup. Etc

Contemporary San Diego Home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Barry’s place. It’s located in a peaceful neighborhood with easy access to many sites in San Diego. The house was very clean and well appointed. We enjoyed relaxing in the tranquil backyard - being welcomed by Barry’s sweet golden retriever, Dorry was a highlight. We will definitely return.

5BR | Salt Water Pool | Hot Tub | Fire Pit| BBQ
I love that the kitchen was very well stocked! If you like to cook it’s great! The backyard was beautiful my kids loved the resort feel. We visited for a graduation for my nephew from the Marines boot camp. The location was about 20-25 minutes from base which was so easy because you’re close to the freeway! The house was perfect for our stay! The box truck in the front yard was a throw off when we arrived but once inside you didn’t notice it was there. The house is very cute and full of everything you need to have a great stay! Thank you Brian for being a great host!
Beach house rentals in Encinitas

.:The Beach Hive:. Downtown Encinitas
The Bee Hive was so cute. We had so much fun. We love Encinitas. We parked our full-size suv in the designated parking spot and didn’t use it the whole time we were there. We walked to the beach, we walked to get coffee in the mornings, we walked to shops and we even did d 2 different escape roomed on 2 different days. We can’t wait to go back!

Beach house steps from surf and restaurants.
We stayed at Maria's place with our two 14- and 11-year-old kids for a week and had a perfect vacation. Maria had great recommendations and clear instructions on where to park and enter. We loved walking to Rosemont Cafe and the beach, and our favorite local dinners were at The Promiscuous Fork, The Taco Stand, and El Pescador. Beds and linens were very comfortable, and the patio was peaceful and private. Highly recommended!

Fabulous Beach Home! Walk to Beach-Guest Favorite!
Our stay at Stephanie’s place was phenomenal! It’s such a beautiful well kept home. It’s so clean, full of amenities, and in a great location!! Would highly recommend to a friend.

Live the Beach Life in a Quaint Shell Cottage
This beach cottage was perfect for my husband, our 13 month old son, and small dog for the weekend. The house and linens are clean. The house, patio and yard are cute. It is located in a quiet cul-de-sac. They had plenty of beach chairs, towels, wagons, and beach toys for us to use. We had a great weekend here.

Newly Remodeled NOT Shared Beachfront Home W/SPA
This place was HEAVEN!! We fell in love with the place. The place was spotless and looked exactly like the photos. A 15 min walk to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the view from the couch every morning and the view from the lifeguard chairs in the evening. The Airbnb hosts were helpful and responsive. This place felt like home and can not wait to book again! Thank you!

Casa Del Oceano, Solana Beach
We stayed at Pete's place because it has a gorgeous pool (the pool slide was a huge hit), is close to Del Mar racetrack, and is close to the beach/ocean (you can see the ocean from the front yard). We took our two Bichons and felt safe and secure letting them out. We have family in San Diego and had a small family cook out on Sunday. The grill was awesome, and there are lots of fun things to do on the property, front and back yards. We didn't take advantage of the jacuzzi, but it was already heated up. Since the house doesn't have air conditioning, there were fans in the family room and bedroom. Large kitchen, so you can cook and bake if you don't want to eat out all the time. The house is single story, but outside there are lots of levels where you have to go up and down some single steps,so small children would need help and elderly or disabled folks may need help, too. Pete gave great directions about how to access the main entrance, and the self check-in security code.

Tranquil Hip Indoor/Outdoor Living Near Beach
This place was great for my girls trip! It was a great location in a peaceful and green neighborhood. I would love to stay here again.

SHORE BREAK HOUSE Where Turf Meets Surf! NFLTicket
Staying at Dan's beach house in Oceanside was a dream. As a single mom with a small child it fit perfectly into my needs. It was close to a bike path, walkable to the ocean to view the sunset, and had endless beach amenities, which made packing lighter. The outside space is lovely. We played on the grass and sat outside to enjoy snacks and games. The garage space felt like a treasure trove of bikes, chairs, beach toys, umbrellas... anything you needed was within reach. It was also a safe space to store the scooters and child bike I brought. The space was clean, airy, bright, and had everything we needed. What I love about the location was access to a bike path along the train. This helped avoid car traffic on our way to the pier. And there were some delicious restaurants for breakfast and dinner just a short drive away. Honestly, we enjoyed south Oceanside for this reason. I can't recommend this place enough. Best value and experience of Airbnb yet! We'll be back for sure!
