A magical beachside escape

Waking up each morning to waves crashing and sun-drenched rooms was pure heaven! The cozy atmosphere and the staff's warm smiles added to the charm. Plus, the beach was just a short stroll away!

However, the only drawback was the bathroom door that wouldn't stay shut. It swung open unexpectedly, which was a bit awkward. A fan in the room would have also been appreciated during warmer nights.

noisy nights

We had a fantastic time enjoying the big armchairs in our room and sipping coffee while watching hummingbirds from our balcony. Sunbathing on the terrace and having BBQs in the garden were such great ways to relax too. The only hiccup was a bit of noise from the street at night, but it didn’t ruin our stay at all! 🌞

Awesome beach vibes!

Had a wonderful stay with my partner! Loved how close we were to the beach and the sound of ocean waves from our balcony. The renovations look nice, but our room could’ve used more seating. Coffee from Lofty down the street was a nice treat. The outdoor dining area was perfect for hanging out in the sun.

We had an amazing stay at the beach! The spacious family suite was perfect for hanging out with my cousin and the kids. Walking to the beach was a breeze, and the location made it easy to explore Encinitas. Plus, the community beach gear really came in handy.

My kids wished there was a playground for them to let loose while we relaxed.

I truly enjoyed the spacious room with two king beds and modern décor, making our stay comfortable. The easy access to the beach and local shops was delightful, especially for seniors like me who appreciate convenience.

Could use more accessible seating in common areas.

Had an awesome time with friends! The location was super close to the beach, and we had plenty of space in the room. We loved that we could walk to places like SNAP Clothing and check out the local food scene. Hiking nearby was a huge plus for us, too.

One downside was that some rooms were still under renovation, which made access a bit tricky at times. We really needed a shelf in the shower for our stuff.
