A little more about Encinitas, CA -

Flowers and Surf

Located in southern California, slightly to the north of San Diego, Encinitas is a coastal community known of all things for its vast fields of poinsettias and other ornamental flowers. The vast fields under cultivation are lovely in the fall, and each November the annual Poinsettia Festival takes place in the downtown area of the city.

Encinitas holiday homes also fill up during the Wavecrest Woodie Meet, which takes place each September on the third Saturday of the month at Moonlight State Beach. Free to both the public and all participants; the festival consists of a large rally of wooden bodied vehicles and is reputed to be the largest event of this type in the world. Another popular draw each fall is Oktoberfest, which is timed to parallel similar festivals being held across Germany.

Several important museums and other cultural amenities are located in Encinitas, including the Lux Art Institute and the San Dieguito Heritage Museum. Those who come to the city out of their interest in horticulture will want to visit the San Diego Botanic Garden, which is located not in San Diego but in Encinitas; the name derives from the fact that the city is located in San Diego County.

One of the most popular water sports in Encinitas is surfing, whose beaches have been rated among the top surfing locations on earth. So well known is Encinitas for its surf that the Beach Boys listed the city in their roll call of great beaches in their classic song, 'Surfin' USA.'

Beach cottage
The cottage had a very nice location close to beach, shops, and restaurants. It offers privacy in a fairly quiet neighborhood. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and appliances. There were 2 good size beds and a daybed. Dog friendly house and gardens. We enjoyed our stay!

Amazing location
Everything overall was great. If i had to say something negative about my whole experience it would be that our last night staying here we were without power for 8+ hours due to construction. Construction workers stated this was told to all owners, they had us move our car in the middle of the night. Driving back 12+ hrs home made this very hard on us.The owner gave us an extra hour to check out. Other than that the house was very clean and a BIG PLUS is the Playstation 2 with all the classic games. I would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable, private and charming
We came to Encinitas from Arizona to visit family and enjoy a few days at the beach. This was the perfect location. It was a short walk to the beach and it had all of the emenities we needed to host a quaint dinner for our loved ones. Our stay felt like home away from home.

Great spot, great house with a great host
We rented the house for a number of our wedding guests who were flying in from overseas for our wedding. Couldn't have asked for a better place - clean, awesome location (right next to "down town" Encinitas and walkable to Moonlight Beach. Lance was very accommodating and even even arranged for an extended stay last minute with no hassles. Would highly recommend.

Great location - fun beach house with view
Great location, walking distance to town and beach. No need for a car if you are looking for a relaxing getaway in Encinitas. Fun firepit in the front yard. Could use a bar stool set in the front for 24/7 ocean views but the 2 lifeguard chairs are a cool touch and great way to catch a beautiful sunset. Great layout, basic kitchen, nice wraparound deck although the trees need some trimming to really catch a good ocean view from there. With a little TLC this place would be a 5 star but I found it to be totally comfortable and a great place to hang out. Lance is super cool and easy to work with. I would definitely return !

Comfortable cottage experience for two + pet
We found the Cottage just as advertised. Met our expectations in all regards. Owner/neighbor seen one time in passing-very unobtrusive. We definitely would repeat. Especially enjoyed the quaint atmosphere of Encinitas, street festival, farmer's market, and the frozen yogurt shop- we walked every where. We visited nearby botanical gardens, numerous beach side parks, we aquarium, and a visit to Poway CA where we rode an old steam train. Just sitting out on the front lawn of an evening was so relaxing. If you are looking for a short get a way or an extended stay, you will not be disappointed.

Encinitas gem!
We had a wonderful stay at this Encinitas cottage last week! We arrived on a Wednesday, which was fortuitous, as we were able to walk one block(!) to the lovely Encinitas Station Farmers Market (http://www.farmersmarketencinitas.com/) to stock up on gorgeous California produce for our stay. For everything else, we walked just a bit further to the local Whole Foods and any number of lovely restaurants and breweries within easy walking distance. The house was comfortable, quiet, and well-stocked with beach essentials (toys, umbrellas, beach towels), which was great for our visits to the gorgeous, family-friendly Moonlight State Beach (http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=659). The host was very helpful, and we had a great stay. Thank you!

Charming Beach Cottage
We are a local family and stay down at the beach from time to time so we already knew this is a prime location for everything. Lance has done a great job making this beach cottage really cozy with up to date decor. The kitchen had everything we needed even though there are so many great restaurants within walking distance we had some great meals at the house. The farmer's market in 2 houses down and Whole Foods is so close. I loved walking to Whole Foods to grab a few things instead of driving to the grocery store. There are wonderful places to walk and if you have kids the Encinitas Library is just down the street with an ocean view and outdoor tables. There are many parks with playgrounds within walking distance as well if you have little ones. Lance is continuing to do improvements to this new on VRBO beach cottage and we will definitely stay there again!

Super stay for family of four in lovely Encinitas
Approaching 40 and have tried doing at least three nice vacations per year the last decade or more. The week at Lance's place is probably my all time favorite. Not a surfer prior to coming, but since Lance had various beginner boards the whole family tried out some things every day and had a blast. The location is very convenient, walking to Whole Foods, the nice eateries and the beach. Nice to be in the slope with ocean view, or at least to get some overview of the surroundings. Loved the farmer's market which was Wednesdays I believe, think I went four times that day. Given the location in Southern Cali, and that the house is more than adequate for a family of four, the price/quality ratio is very hard to beat. Lance is a great guy to do business with and he really wants you to have a great time, and will help you out in the perfect no-problem-can't-be-fixed - attitude of the area.

Beautifully Furnished, Wonderful Location!
My daughter and I stayed at this house for a wonderful girls' weekend. The house was beautifully furnished and decorated which made our stay feel very comfortable and enjoyable. This house has a lovely wrap-around deck that we watched the sunset from and there is a beautiful sunroom off the kitchen that I could enjoy my morning coffee from. The fenced in yard made me feel safe with my young daughter and we loved walking down to the local Farmer's market (literally half a block away) for fresh fruit and produce. We could not have asked for a nicer location in Encinitas and the landlord was very accessible and easy to work with. I would highly recommend this rental for a single person, couple, or family. A true gem right in the heart of Encinitas!

About the host

Hosted by Lance Hetherington

Host profile image
I've lived in Encinitas all my life and would never move away because it's truly the best place to live and visit (the awesome stable weather has a lot to do with it). I went to Park Dale Lane Elementary, Oak Crest Jr. High and San Dieguito High School. I played Little League Baseball at the old Ecke Fields and Soccer for about 7 years each and then settled for the high school surf team and surfing as a lifestyle. I enjoy snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing, wakeboarding, motorcross, etc. I have a 9 year old daughter and consider myself a family man, most of the time.

Why they chose this property

This location is great as it's a short walk to downtown Encinitas and to the great local surf breaks like Moonlight Beach, D Street, BoneYards and the famous Swamies which is a nice 1/4 mile walk South. The ocean views and sunsets from this home are awesome as well.

What makes this property unique

Ocean Views and close proximity to Downtown Encinitas which is home to award winning Restaurants and Bars with a Whole Foods a block away from the house. You will never need to drive anywhere...especially since the Train/Coaster station is 2 blocks away ready to take you anywhere.
