Dolphin Views ~ The Edge of the USA, 2-Bed, 1-Bath

KevinRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Location, location, location! Encinitas and this little bungalow was the highlight of our stay. The views from the living room and deck are breath taking, not to mention the amazing sunsets. Insider tip: the moon sets are equally impressive. Brooke was a 5 star host. Would recommend anytime!

.:The Beach Hive:. Downtown Encinitas

ChrisRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

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.

This place felt like home and can not wait to book again! Thank you!

Great location close to the water and walking distance to restaurants and lots to do. The parking was very convenient which I appreciated. The furniture was comfortable and the linens were clean.

Oceanfront Leucadia! Panoramic Whitewater Views!

ElliottRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This was our first stay on the southern California coast and high up on cliffs overlooking the ocean - and it was all that we hoped for. The photos are excellent, providing a fine indication of the home and surroundings. The furniture was comfortable, both interior and exterior, and the king bed, pillows and sheets in the primary bedroom were delightful. As the photos show you are not literally on the beach but over it. The sunsets (we stayed in January) were divine. We spent much time gazing at the sublime views of the endless ocean. It is a long walk or rather climb down to the beach, at about 100 or so steps once you get to the access stairs, but it was great exercise climbing up. During low tide the beach was walkable and fun, but during high tide you would have to walk on a stone beach. The neighborhood was interesting to walk and the pickleball courts in great condition. The location is very convenient. Thanks to Stephanie our host for great communication and support.

My family and I are absolutely thrilled about our stay at Andy’s! The view from the unit was stunning, super easy beach access, lots of amenities on site. Many places within walking distance. The provided binder was extremely helpful with information about the property as well as recommendations. The unit itself was beautiful, there were games, the kitchen had everything we needed. The bed in the master was very comfortable. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would absolutely stay again.

Resort style beach vacation

RyanRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Hard to find the HOA office upon first visit, but once you check in with security it was very easy. Great location, nice unit for an older complex, and prime area extremely close to the beach. Key pick up and drop off was simple, however the parking for this specific unit is very very tight. Thankfully our rental car was small, but it was between a support column and the wall. We loved that that they had chairs, beach equipment and towels available. We had a great stay and would recommend this unit for your stay in Oceanside. Conveniently located to Legoland (15 mins w/ traffic) and very close to some very excellent restaurants.

Luxurious and Spacious Condo steps from the Beach

StevenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Abraham was a great host. Excellent communication. The place was wonderful and just steps to the beach. We would definitely stay there again. We were told the place came with multiple boogie boards, there was only one there when we arrived. I messaged Abraham to let him know and within a couple hours he had delivered 2 more boogie boards for us. Very proactive and excellent! The resort area pools/hot tubs and other amenities were very nice also.

Poolside Vibes Oside

JamieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The house was the perfect size for our group (two adults, two teens). The backyard was lush with mature plants, which made it feel very private, and the pool was bigger than we expected it to be. The house itself was clean, well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. The house was a quick drive from everywhere we went in Oceanside. The bathroom off the primary bedroom was a bit small, but manageable. Katie was a great host and I would stay here again!

Ocean Front Sunset Cliffs Beach House

This place is amazing!! The best views, the best walking, and the spaces in the house are perfect for a group. We made dinner in and watched the sunset every night. We also brought our 6 month old son and it was a great location to be “nap trapped.”

Old School Oceanfront Beach Bungalow

JettRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I absolutely loved staying on the boardwalk. I knew what I was getting into - there are people running by the place and occasional noise at all hours but being right on the boardwalk is well worth it. Parking isn’t easy as the listing described but I had zero issue parking on Pacific Beach Drive just a couple blocks away any time I wanted. I look forward to calling Catherine’s spot my little beach getaway again!

Sunsets at the Beach House - Private Beach

RayRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Clean... I repeat, this place was the cleanest we have ever seen in an Air BnB. No dust, clean floors, clean everything. Beds were super comfortable and having the door open to hear the ocean was therapeutic. So let's run it down: 1. The view was exquisite. 2. Spacious kitchen with kuerig and drip coffee maker, and Plenty of counter space. 3. Brand new gas grill, fire pit, private beach setting. 4. This would be a Really fun place for a family. Bedrooms on 3 floors (the lower bedroom had plenty of beds and futons for the kids, and their own bathroom. The master is on the upper floor with well thought out bathroom (2 sinks, big shower (water pressure was really nice) 5. About a mile to the pier and walking distance to plenty of restaurants. We will Def stay with this company again!

Seaview 1135A

TaraRating, 5 stars4 months ago
This beach house is everything and more. You won’t want to leave! We came out to celebrate my birthday and just relax for the holiday with local family. We had a great time. It was a bit chilly so we didn’t get to use the backyard as much as we would’ve liked but sitting in the living room with the door open and listening to the waves was priceless. Heather was so friendly and easy to communicate with. We had everything we needed. Dolphin and surfer watching every day and we even saw a whale. We will definitely be back!!! One tip: try to have a compact car so you can park in the driveway spot. Although, we never had trouble with street parking. My hiccup was the street sweep is early am and I was scared to get a ticket! Easy to work around though and well worth it for the location.

PELICAN SUITE - OCEANFRONT! PANORAMIC VIEWS!

JacquelineRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Where to begin? The Pelican is a very special place, nestled in the perfect location to take in the ocean - whether from the expansive windows and open floor plan space, the multiple furnished patios, or directly above or on the beach across the street! The space is pristine, well appointed, and free of clutter. We had some rain during our stay and we barely noticed it due to enjoying being inside the well styled and comfortable home. You can walk right into Carlsbad village for eats and drinks or some quirky shops, and are a quick drive from all the charming places Carlsbad & Oceanside have to offer. The hosts were incredible to work with, especially the property manager, Nancy, who took amazing care of our family - from proactively managing potential issues with some neighboring construction, to answering all our questions promptly. She was the most professional and empathetic host we’ve encountered in our various adventures with AirBnB!

This staycation was perfect for our family. We were looking for something close due to health issues and it couldn’t have been more perfect. It felt like we were in Baja, Mexico, with the Palapa down on the sandy area. Place was spotless and roomy. We all agreed it will definitely be rented again.

Weekday Sale! Stunning Oceanfront and Views!

AngelaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Beautiful oceanfront view! The Airbnb was spacious for our group of 9. Parking was on the street but we had no problem finding a spot in front of the house each day. We appreciated that plenty of beach & bath towels were supplied for the weekend! The balconies were great common spaces to hang out and the fire pit was a great amenity for a private bonfire right by the ocean waves. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
