About this property

Feet in the surf in 2 minutes! most walkable neighborhood at the beach and AC!


Our cottage is ideally located well west of Highway 101, in a quiet neighborhood with little traffic, one block away from Stone Steps Beach in Encinitas. It is walking distance to coffee shops, many local restaurants ranging from fine dining to bistros and ethnic foods. In addition to its many eateries and shopping, Encinitas is famous for its surf breaks. Beacons Beach, Swamis, and Pontos surf breaks are within a couple miles. The local Farmers Market is held only two blocks away.

Our cottage is cute, clean, and cool with brand new air conditioning, and comfortably sleeps 1-6 people. Very few beach cottages have Ac and we don't often need it but it is there when you do! There are 2 bedrooms, one with a beautiful bamboo king and all organic cotton mattress, and one with twin over full bunk. There is also a large sectional sofa that is also comfortable to sleep on. The bathroom is recently remodeled , plus a hot water outside shower, and large lovely tropical patio. Wifi and flat screen tv in living room. The garage is stocked with beach toys, boogie boards and beach chairs. Several of the local kids are available for impromptu surf lessons.

Great location, great hosts, great stay!
This property was perfect for our visit. Because we were arriving after dark, the host left lights on for us and provided info on activities that were tailored to us. Dog food and water bowls were provided, as well as a dog bed. The yard was perfect for enjoying the weather and was safe for our dog. The cottage furnishings were comfortable. Highly recommend!

Great Beach Cottage!
The cottage is very well equipped, comfy beds, was very clean, and had everything you need to cook, and a nice family room area. Located in a very quite, nice neighborhood and walking distance to some nice restuarants and coffee houses. Overall a very nice place for a beach town getaway!! Oh and the cottage works well for dogs with a nice patio/backyard that is fully enclosed so you can allow your pups to roam a bit.

Perfect stay- will be back!
My mom, sister and I stayed at Galyns house for my moms birthday. We loved it! We felt so at home in this cozy house. The location is amazing- 5 minute walk to the beach, 15 minute walk to 2 other beaches, and a short walk into town. Encinitas is a sweet little surf town, and we felt so comfy being here! Galyn was in touch and very kind. We’re looking forward to coming back. We loved it so much we even might make regular trips to the beach house.

About the host

Host profile image
We have lived in this neighborhood for 25 years, of all the places I have lived this is the best! My wife and I came here for college and never left. We now have 3 generations living within a 10 mile radius, that is how great this beach town is. Friendly, healthy, safe and so much to do. We would love to share Encinitas with you!

Why they chose this property

This cottage is one block away from the beach and every single house a block away is a multimillion dollar property. Our street is not a through street so there is almost no traffic, except for the surfers of course! The cottage is stocked with beach toys, available on request, and you won't even need your car, everything is walking distance. If you want to strike out farther you can take the train anywhere North or South, the station is just about a mile away. Take a look at a map and see how ideally central coastal Encinitas is to everything.
