The house was charming and comfortable. It had everything we needed during our stay, especially the washer and dryer, which were very helpful. It was great to be able to have a BBQ. It's a shame that we could only stay for 2 nights. The location was convenient, and we were able to go to one of our favorite spots, Encinitas downtown. We all had a great stay! Thank you so much!!

Surfhouse

Encinitas

Surfhouse is a motel located in Encinitas. This motel offers a shared lounge. Certain units at the property include a terrace with a city view.

T
Tim
From
Germany
Encinitas with its artistic flavor and surfer atmosphere, close to the beach is an attractive place to be. Surfhouse room is well equipped with cool decoration and details. Having the choice to pick a room with four single beds in one room is rare and for the kids of a family (or friends) certainly a plus. A parking spot in front of the room is great. The offer of beach cruiser bikes for free on availability basis is also a very nice idea (improvement proposal: a quick release skewer to adjust the saddle height would be great - or an Allen key near the bike storage to adjust the height).

Our third family trip to Encinitas, a charming beach town, was a delightful experience. Its quiet and walkable streets made it an ideal destination for a family vacation. We cycled along Neptun Avenue and relaxed on the beach near the Stone Steps. The town boasts a variety of great restaurants and coffee shops. We highly recommend Atelier-Mannana and Leu Leu, but be sure to book in advance! Herb and Sea is another must-try.

I love everything about Encinitas.

I love everything about Encinitas. It is one of the spots where you can go and feel like a local even if your not. I have stayed at the 12 Senses Retreat which was super cool with their nature themed rooms and the amazing hostess. And it is just up the road from Swammi's Beach and the Self Relization Center, which is gorgeous. I have stayed at Brisas Pacific Hotel which was super affordable and a few minutes walk to the beach. You can pretty much walk everywhere in Encinitas. I plan to move there myself soon :)

Charming surf town.

Charming surf town. We enjoyed walking the beach, watching the local surfers and the sunset from the bluffs. Plenty of shopping and restaurants all within walking distance. Bigger box type stores for groceries, etc within about a 10 minute drive. Traffic was not bad. We visited San Diego Botanical Garden and highly recommend.

Unfortunately, we had a very busy wedding weekend and didn't have much time for learning more about the city of Encinitas. We enjoyed the places we visited (Encinitas Cafe for breakfast and the Solterra Winery for the rehearsal dinner). Food and ambiance was great. Would love to go back and enjoy more of the city.
