This home is in a fabulous location located on the cliff side overlooking the pacific. Beach access is a block or two away via 132 steps down to the ocean. We particularly enjoyed walking down to one of the lower platforms to watch the high tide come in. Cindia was a joy to work with. Her responses were fast, the house was clean and well appointed, and the beds very very comfortable. If you have someone in your group who is mobility challenged there are quite a few stairs to contend with. It was perfect for us as the few stairs separating each room made each bedroom a bit private. SanDiego proper is 30 ish minutes away and the botanic garden is probably 20 minutes away. Walking into Encinitas is certainly doable, but there was sufficient street parking a block or two off of PCH. There are numerous coffee houses and restaurants near the house as well. The grocery store was a quick car ride away, and should you run out of adult beverages there is a liquor store within walking distance. Cindia provided many amenities such as shower soaps and shampoos, dishwasher pods, garbage bags, paper towels, wet suits, beach chairs, sand toys so all you need is to buy food and you are ready to begin your vacation. Thank you for an enjoyable week!
