Property details

. Encinitas is an iconic California beach town with world-class surfing. D-Street is on the south side of Moonlight Beach. We have an EV charger, gigabit internet, robust Wi-Fi, and air conditioning throughout. The daybed on the topmost deck has a panoramic view and yet is still very private. This vacation rental is permitted by the city of Encinitas (RNTL-017173-2021) and is strictly limited to no more than 8 occupants/guests at all times. Although it's on the beach, this is a very quiet and safe neighborhood. It's perfect for family a retreat or a romantic escape. Because of the rules imposed by the City of Encinitas to maintain our good standing for our rental permit, parties and gatherings that exceed our maximum permitted 8 occupants/guests (including children) are not allowed and will result in loss of the security deposit. Because the house is located so close to the beach and has an unobstructed view we were approached by SkyLineWebCams to host the Encinitas Live Cam. It only has a view of the beach and does not record video of the property itself.

I really enjoyed my stay - it’s impossible to beat the location and vibe of Encinitas steps from the beach. Super gracious hosts and a fun experience over a weekend. Would highly recommend!

Ocean Blue is a wonderful beach retreat! The ocean waves can be heard from every room! The ocean views and sunsets are stunning! We held a small family reunion with 3 generations sharing the space. It was perfect! There were separate spaces and bathrooms for everyone. The pool table/table tennis table in the main room was a hit with everyone and became the gathering place for fun. The games and puzzles provided were set up in the same space, providing moments for “catching up” conversations. The beach toys, boogie boards, wagon, chairs, and toys were perfect for all! The upstairs lounge has a bar space and seating for everyone to watch football or just enjoy the decks and views of the beach. The jacuzzi was always a warm way to settle down each night. The house is immaculate, the hosts are attentive and friendly, they always respond in a timely manner. The location is ideal for relaxing fun with easy walking to local restaurants and activities. It’s a great place!!!

What a wonderful place to stay!! The location is unbeatable, just steps away from Moonlight Beach. Amazing views from every room. There is plenty of room for all guests and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking needs. We loved our stay.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The place was so cute and cozy, and the ocean views were beautiful. One thing that really stood out to us was how incredibly clean everything was. It wasn’t just the typical surface-level clean you sometimes find at rentals, it genuinely felt deep cleaned and well cared for. There were plenty of towels for everyone, and we really appreciated having so many thoughtful items available to use for the beach. Those little details made our stay so much easier and more enjoyable. It was also such a sweet touch that they left us sparkling wine to enjoy! And the beds deserve a special mention, they were SO comfortable. After long days out exploring, it was wonderful to come back to a place where we could actually relax and sleep well. Overall, this was such a lovely stay. You can tell the hosts put a lot of thought into making guests feel comfortable and welcomed. We would absolutely stay here again!
