Family reunion
Such a great property for three families celebrating a reunion. Room to spread out and each family had a floor to themselves.

Thank you for your review, Diane! It sounds like the property was perfect for your reunion! We are glad to hear that there was enough space for everyone to spread out and that each family had their own floor. If there's anything else you need for future gatherings, feel free to let us know. We'd love to have you back for another reunion! ~The Team at Beachfront Only

Amazing views and sounds
The location was perfect, down the street from Beacons. The home was lovely with amazing views and incredible sounds of the waves crashing onto the shore. The only negative would be that the hot tub was just lukewarm, but I'd recommend this home and we would stay here again.

Not what expected
The house was great location. Could not have been better, but the photos of the property were not reflective of the actual property. House was more like a hostel than a luxury home. Bedrooms were basic and small, living room was not comfortable, and bathrooms small

Girl's weekend
We enjoyed our stay for the most part, but feel like there’s some key information missing on this listing. The property is a duplex, so while the area is private, you can hear the other tenants especially if you are both on the patios at the same time. There is a noise curfew which begins nightly at 9 PM. Even with the windows and patio doors closed, we still received a message from the property company regarding the noise. With 15 people in one space, it’s had to prevent voices from carrying. The home does not match exactly as pictured. The space was clean, a little outdated, and some of the decor elements/enhancements shown in the photos were not present in the home. Also, one of the bedrooms listed as a bunk actually has a Trundle with a rollaway bed underneath. It still sleeps two but felt that detail should have been listed, especially because the room was small and with both beds pulled out there is very little walking space. There are fans in each room but no central A/C. We did have an issue with one of the showers. Once we alerted the property company they had someone out quickly and fixed it within the day. We were very thankful for their quick action on that! All and all we enjoyed our stay and the area was great with many stores and restaurants in walking distance. Just think some important details are missing from the listing.

We were only there for two nights, which equates to one day. The property was beautiful. Sleeping options worked for us. Favorite parts were the kitchen, the outdoor dining table and the jacuzzi with an amazing view.

Beach Getaway was AMAZING!
Loved this stay. Exactly what our group needed for a good getaway. Everything was clean upon arrival, and we loved all the extra amenities provided. We did not interact with the other guests staying on the second part of the property much, but we both respected each other’s group. Would definitely go again!

Great beachfront vacation
Very nice property, great deck that opens to the indoor space. The property is a duplex that has a balcony overlooking the main patio. This was a little awkward, but the family that was staying there was great. The house is one of the few rentals in the area and we did get a text message from the property manager about noise after 9pm. In fairness, we may have been a little loud and the sound seems to carry. Otherwise, nice place for family and friends and Encinitas is a fun town and location.

Location. Location. location. The house sits on top of the beach cliff side with magnificent views and hearing waves breaking on the shore. The house is greatly located in this beach resort, where restaurants, shops and stores are within walking distance. There is some information however that should be noted. Parking. The property states there is parking for 4 vehicles. The only vehicles that can fit, would be 4 compact cars, We had 3 medium size SUV’s and 1 Suburban, The jacuzzi would not heat up. We contacted the property manager on the day upon arrival and still could not resolve and operate on our 4th day. After looking at past reviews, clearly this has been an issue on many occasions. Please fix or remove for future guests so they don’t have the same problem and expectation. The locks on all both glass doors leading outside would not lock. We were a little hesitant to leave the property, however the house was never unoccupied for more than an hour. Beacon Beach which is located one block south of the property, was closed due to a landslide. The next available beach open was a couple miles south. It looks like one time the property had beach access, however was eroded due to weather or a landslide. Lastly, the bottom outside area is dedicated to the residents of the rented property. The second floor balcony is dedicated to the renters on the north side of the same property. The third floor balcony is shared by each master bedrooms for each rented property. Overall, our trip was amazing, however just wish some amenities and issues were addressed immediately considering the amount of money we spent four 4 days.

Great location, perfect coffee mornings.
Our group had a nice stay at this property. The hot tub took some maintenance but the response to our concern was immediate and the problem was solved. The house definitely photographs slightly better than reality. I’m glad there were not people staying in attached unit otherwise it would have been a different experience. Not quite as private as advertised. Beach access is just a short walk away and the sunrises and sunsets on the outside deck make it all very worth it. Thanks for having us!

Fantastic Views - Very Clean
The views are everything you see in the photos, and more. The house was clean and comfortable. The Hot Tub/Jacuzzi worked great. The other half of the condo was rented by some great people and you could hardly hear them. Vrbo promptly provided a crib and basket of toys for the baby (9 mos old), and they were great. The ONLY things I wish were improved: a variety of games to play as a family (cards, board games, etc) and earlier check-in/later check-out.

Lovely place
The duplex was spacious, with three floors and private bathrooms on each floor. We had extended family on the trip and it felt like each family had their privacy. The main gathering areas were a bit small on the inside but the outdoor space was generous. The building is slightly on the older side and updating probably needs to be done for the rooms and bathrooms, but overall the stay was comfortable and everything was clean. The host responded quickly to any questions and the home is close to a small beach. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. And of course the view from the balcony is spectacular.

Large duplex right on the cliffs of Leucadia
This duplex is quite private even though very close to neighbors. We rented both units; if you were to rent only one, the other unit would see and hear you on your decks/patio. The sound of the waves muffled out any noise we made talking, listening to music and softly singing. The street right outside is fantastic for biking, running and walking.

Beautiful facility with plenty of rooms, bathrooms and conveniently 2 washers and 2 dryers. The kitchen and dining area opens up to the spacious terrace. The fact that the property is actually not the whole house, but parts of it (second floor and balcony is a separate rental) is a little bizarre at times. The group renting it during our stay was a little loud, but the property manager was on top of it very quickly. Overall, a very enjoyable stay for our three families.
