House vacation rentals in Encinitas

Perfect little bungalow for our stay. Comfortable space for our family of three. Loved the original details of the home like the built ins, picture ledges and window transoms. We had everything we needed for the weekend and were close to great restaurants and coffee shops! Lively neighborhood with residents out walking their dogs in the daytime and peaceful quiet in the evening.

Had a great stay! Everything was very clean looked exactly like the pictures. Jack was always responsive to my questions and any help I needed.

This spot is so cozy and quiet. Very convenient for visiting SDSU and other local attractions. I also appreciated being able to park behind the gate in the driveway instead of street parking.

Rosa’s Cottage is so unique, interesting and homey. We love to stay here! Even though we don’t need all three bedrooms, it is a great option in case our grandchildren want to stay over or if one of our Northern California adult children want to visit. It is so convenient and rare to have the use of a second bathroom in smaller homes, a bonus in case of extra family members. The dining table can seat 6 people. Bathrooms are nice sized, clean and have been tastefully updated. The backyard is adorable and we would use it much more if we visited when the weather was warmer. We have our own off street parking space and walk right in the front door to a one level house, making getting luggage and groceries easy to carry in and out. What can I say about Rosa? She is one of the kindest sweetest people you will ever meet and really wants you to have a great stay. We have had a couple of unexpected issues to deal with and she was very accommodating, making our concerns non-issues. Thanks, Rosa!

We came for a short trip. Here are our pros: great parking space for your car which is gated and can fit up to two, there is a lot of space and 5+ people can sleep in here comfortably. If you need a safe and private place to stay with family then this is a great affordable options. Our cons: the electrical outlets did not seem to work on the bottom floor in the bedroom, we had an issue with the shower not functioning which was not helpful when everyone needed to shower, the upstairs gets very hot even with the fans we had to sleep with the windows open because of the heat. These are things that are fixable, overall it is a good place to stay at.

Really enjoyed this stay! Didn't know much about ocean beach beforehand so was pleasantly surprised! Lots of places very walkable from airbnb which was awesome. Also, having a parking spot ended up being so convenient. There is a lot of noise from the airplanes and I can be sensitive to light/noise but found myself being able to sleep soundly. I appreciated hosts being upfront about these things in listing so I could accurately choose this place. Would definitely stay again!

My friends and I Loved staying here! Would love to be back again! Thanks again!

Anthony was a great host and was very responsive. The home is nice and comfy and perfect for small families especially if you have little ones. The location of the home is perfect. It’s within driving distance to San Diego’s popular spots such as Old Town, zoo, Belmont Park etc. We were able to walk over to Logan Ave. with our little one to check out the arts, small boutiques, and cafes. It was also very helpful to have a parking spot on the property since there’s hardly any parking on the street. My family and I enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.

Loved everything about our stay at this amazing house! Comfortable beds, awesome backyard with pool and hot tub, great location- walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, park and very close to lots of site seeing. Our family of 5 had a wonderful time - thank you for sharing your lovely house with us!

great location and amenities - we really appreciated the garage parking spot as it's in a popular beach area. Easy access to the beach boardwalk, and the house has a nice saltwater pool and spa with all the floaties and life jackets for the kids. We found everything we needed to have a fantastic spring break!

A Perfect Getaway in El Cajon! From the moment we arrived, this stunning Airbnb exceeded all expectations. Nestled in the scenic hills of El Cajon, the property is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and feels like a true retreat. The home itself is immaculate—thoughtfully decorated with a blend of modern touches and cozy charm. Every detail, from the plush linens to the fully stocked kitchen, made us feel pampered and at home. Waking up to the golden California sun streaming through the windows and enjoying coffee on the patio with panoramic views was a daily highlight. The outdoor space is a dream—lush landscaping, a relaxing seating area, and the kind of quiet that lets you truly unwind. Our host was incredibly welcoming and responsive. Whether you’re looking to explore San Diego or just relax in a serene setting, this is the perfect place. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already planning our next trip!

What a lovely home! We spent 5 days here with our family of 5 and it was absolutely wonderful. The home is spacious and open, very clean, and beautifully decorated. We loved the pool and watching airplanes take off and land in the distance. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. Would stay here again!

We had a great stay over spring break! Our group was 5 adults & 4 children, but we never felt cramped! The neighborhood is charming and felt safe, even to this small town family. We walked into the Kensington main street area most days - for coffee (Starbucks), acai bowls & organic groceries (Stehly Farms Market), pizza, burgers (kids eat free on Tuesday!), and ice cream (you MUST try the Ube & Toffee flavor at Stella Jeans)! :) The kids loved the pool/ hot tub, although it was a shame the pool guy never checked in over our weeklong stay. With 4 children in the pool every day, the water was cloudy by the time we left. I blame myself for not letting Zeina and Mo know, as they were responsive for all my other queries. The casita was a blessing for grandma and grandpa, who needed their quiet time. The only real complaint I heard from our group was that the house smells stale (like the charming old house it is) and the laundry/pingpong area smells of mildew. Opening doors helped!

Beautiful home. Great host. Would highly recommend.

Great place with a very central location, close to the airport and zoo. We really enjoyed our stay and the amenities offered at the home. Lacee was very responsive and accommodating.

Stay was great, the kids loves the pool. They had lots of stuff we could use to tale to the beach which was great. Lots of supplies, I have rented places that were super stingy with everything, but this place had more of everything, including things we werent expecting, but needed.

Alexander's place was the perfect California get away for our family vacation! The location was awesome just a short walk from the beach. The backyard was so big for California and great for our dogs. It had a lot of seating and a hot tub which was perfect! Alexander was very responsive throughout our stay. There is a train right behind the Airbnb that used it's horn loudly multiple times a day and until about 11 which was very clearly listed in the listing but if you are sensitive to noise it might bother you. We had no issues with the train.

We had a terrific stay! Would definitely stay again. Fit our family of 6 perfectly!

Love the open space for my two kids to roam around in! Did not get to use the hot tub but it’s a nice touch to have if you plan to spend more time at Airbnb

Wonderful location, 12-14 minutes or less to everything we wanted to do. Expansive patio and pool area. Bedroom layout worked okay for our group of five - three adults and two kids. Property managers were very responsive when we contacted them. The house was spotless. We were there for two weeks and never ran out of things to do in San Diego and environs. We’ll be back.

We had a splendid weekend trip to Elise’s rental. Was the perfect relaxing getaway. The Airbnb was a close drive to attractions and restaurants! The gem of this stay is the backyard. Such a serene atmosphere perfect for couples & families. Would definitely recommend this stay.

I cannot say enough about this place. I loved staying here and would 1000% stay again. Everything was spotless, the view was amazing, I’ve never been more relaxed and at peace. They have everything you could need,everything was thoughtfully put together. If I could give it 10 stars I would.

We loved it here! I stayed with some girl friends from out of town and the area is central to restaurants and things to do near the ocean. The house was well-kept and looked just like the photos. I enjoyed the privacy we had even though we had neighbors. The beds were quite comfortable with blackout curtains. Loved the kitchen/dining area and the pool table was a nice touch near the TV. Would recommend others to stay and would stay here again, myself!

Tasha’s home was beautiful and located in a beautiful neighborhood. Our family needed a place that would also accommodate our dogs and this was the perfect spot. It is in a great location for walking to restaurants and exploring North Park. Tasha is a perfect host and answered any questions that we had in a timely manner. She was extremely courteous and we would definitely stay at her home again. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great home from which to explore San Diego.
