Really a great place!
by Jeffrey Karren
First of all the people at Beachfront are some of the best people I have worked with. They are beyond nice and responsive. Very much appreciated them and their professionalism. We really enjoyed the property we stayed at. Just four days prior to our planned getaway we were advised by another property owner we had made reservations that our reservation had been cancelled. We were quite distraught as our whole family party had made arrangements for travel and had purchased venue tickets. We were able to secure this property for our family with only a few days notice. Again, the Beachfront people were awesome to work with us. The property has superb views overlooking the ocean; a perfect gathering place for our family. The kids loved the hot tub! The parking was perfect for our vehicles. I would certainly recommend it to others. Just a note on the amenities - bring your own beach equipment (boogie boards and such, as there are none available at the property). We did have a few issues with some of the doors not working, but Beachfront was there to assist us in remedying the issues. It really was a great venue for us. Thanks!

We loved our stay. Great home for extended family gathering. Used 7 of 8 bedrooms with king or queen beds. Loved the main kitchen/dining/family room and patio for family gathering. The bluff and ocean view were enjoyed by all. We had one casualty - we broke one long stem wine glass. Sorry. If you let me know how to pay for it, I would be glad to do so.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review, Leila! We're thrilled to hear that you and your extended family had a great stay and made the most of the home, especially enjoying the main kitchen, dining area, family room, and the stunning bluff and ocean view.
It's heartwarming to know that our space could accommodate your family comfortably and contribute to your enjoyable gathering. We strive to create an environment where families can come together and create lasting memories, and it sounds like we were able to provide that for you.
Regarding the wine glass, please don't worry about it. Accidents happen, and it's not something we'd want to overshadow your positive experience. Your offer to pay is very kind and much appreciated. Your honesty and willingness to address it are more than enough for us.
We hope to welcome you back in the future for another family gathering or any other occasion. If there's anything we can do to assist you in planning your next stay, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Warm regards,
The Team at Beachfront Only

Great house! Only issue is the A/C timing out after 4 hours - so some one had to get up and turn it on at 4:00 am. Lights on timers great- A/C on timer not so great- we had my 82 year old MIL with us and A/C is very important for her.

Great house great location
Great home would stay again
by Jourdan
Lovely space. My entire family loved it. Enough room for everyone to stay in the same place but have space for themselves at the same time. Lovely view. Neighbors are close but very friendly and not at all an issue. Hot tub didn’t turn on but the water felt great anyway. Would definitely stay again.

The spa didn't work and based on reviews I saw I feel they knew it didn't work and didn't bother to tell us. Also, when we booked the house it had 2 sets of bunk beds listed. When we arrived those beds were not there. We were lucky we had 3 women not show up but even though there were still enough beds we paid specifically for the beds that were there when we booked. We were disappointed with these things. Otherwise, the stay was great. I do recommend a larger trash can in the kitchen, that was frustrating and larger pans to cook on the stove with. Its a huge house so seems like people would be cooking in large quantities but maybe that was just us.

Very nice place. We had some oddity ties like hot water coming out of the cold taps, and a shower control that really didn’t work at all. The property management company was very attentive, but couldn’t fix everything. We managed okay and would certainly return.

The house is nice and in a great location. Great view of the ocean and beach and spending time in the hot tub on the back deck was a blast. For reference the neighbors are really close. We didn't have a party, but even being outside talking after 9 was too loud as the noise carry's even when quiet. If you are planning a party be mindful of noise as the house calls for quiet time at 9. I could see this being tough even for a family let alone a larger group. Outside of that the house was nice, easy to get into, short walk to the beach, clean, and an amazing view.
We are pleased to hear you enjoyed this beautiful home and great location! As we encourage all of guests to be good neighbors, we do manage properties in Oceanside that are located near other vacation rentals which provides a little more flexibility for our guests to enjoy the outdoor amenities after 9 pm. We thank you for choosing Beachfront Only, and we look forward to hosting you again! ~ Diana

Perfect Getaway!
by Amanda Angulo
We had the absolute best time on our stay. The house was the best thing ever - even better than the pictures. We decided to cancel all our day plans one day just to soak in the view. Get up early and you may even see dolphins! The house had everything we needed. A grill, coffee pots, spices, cups, pots & pans. House and spa were clean and management company were very responsive and helpful. Amazing location! We had it made. Would go back if the opportunity presented itself! Thank you!
Thank you for your fantastic review, Amanda! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the amazing views, and all of the amenities this Beachfront home has to offer! It will always be our pleasure having you as our guests. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to having you come back soon!

Gorgeous Location
by Suzanne Stokes
We rented this beautiful home to celebrate my 60th birthday. We absolutely loved the location and view! The home was perfect in that there was plenty of space for me and my four sisters and our spouses as well as my children and grandchildren. Almost everyone had their own bathroom as well. My biggest disappointment is that the jacuzzi didn’t work. The property manager sent someone to look at it but they weren’t able to fix it while we were there. The dishwasher also didn’t work but they were able to fix that on the second day. Lastly, three of the fans in the bedrooms didn’t work. Beachfront was very responsive and delivered three new fans the first night.

Bitter Sweet
by Regina Carmona
The spa was not working on the first night. This was the main reason we picked this house. I would expect them to check everything is working before a guest arrives. Possibly have it on so it is hot and ready to go, as I have experienced at other locations. This of course was not the case. The next day around 9 AM I called to check to see when the tech would be arriving. They were unable to provide a time. The maintenance rep was there fixing out items in the house. We did not mind the maintenance rep there during our stay, fixing items for the next guest, even though he was also unable to provide a time or status the SPA tech would arrive. While my family went down to the beach, I had to stay waiting for the tech. I had to call the management company. They never called me for with a time or status. I called , what felt like every hour to see if they could give me a time or status. I got nothing but "we will check". I expressed how unhappy we are. The tech finally showed late late afternoon to get it working. When we finally went to use it, the water was hot but the jets of course would not work. I called again. Never did they offer a late check out or offer anything at all. We wanted a relaxing weekend, family getaway to celebrate a 50th birthday. Something much needed with everything going on with COVID, Pandemic, working and school. We did not get to enjoy the SPA, again the MAIN reason we picked the house. The main relaxation we wanted. The house was bitter for the items that needed fixing and the SPA. The house was sweet for it had every showed in the pictures. If everything was in top shape it would have been everything expected. The Management Co could be considerate to their guest and at least offer a late check out when the call multiple times. I shouldn't have to ask, the company should be at the lever to be able to recognize their guest would be unhappy and offer anything they can, for items that are in their control.
Thank you for your feedback Regina. Our entire team truly believes in providing the best Beachfront experience for every guests. Management team members complete thorough inspections of our homes before arrival, which includes verifying the spa is hot, clean / sanitized, and in working condition. Unfortunately this spa failed during your stay, and the labor for the repairs had to be outsourced, which created challenges confirming the specific appointment time. We are happy that this spa is fixed as it is an amazing amenity for this gorgeous home. We hope you give us the opportunity to host you again! ~ The Team at Beachfront Only

Great house to relax and enjoy the view
by Michael Prentiss
We rented this oceanfront home for two weeks to unwind with family and enjoy the ocean views. The house was true to its description... the views were amazing and there was more than enough room for our family to gather and spread out. The indoor/outdoor feature with pool table/ping pong was a big hit. We didn't need our car, as we could walk to the beach, restaurants, shops, and the best farmer's market we've been to. Keep in mind, this is a neighborhood with full-time residents. The neighbors are very close and value their peace and quiet... NOT an appropriate setting for loud parties.
Thank you for the amazing review Michael! It was our pleasure having you stay at our beachfront property. We are so glad that you were able to not only enjoy the wonderful property but the surrounding areas as well! We felt honored that you chose our home and we hope to see you all again soon.

Beach Happy Family!!!
by Deb Gahan
Awesome. Fabtabulous. Incredible. I had wondered about all the 5 star reviews - if really that great. Absolutely that great! They were all true plus more. 12 of the family there ages 2 months to 85. Plenty of room. Everything we needed. We wanted for nothing. Gorgeous views. The ping pong/poll table got used a lot. Entire family loved just hanging on outside deck and playing games. We never left except to go to the beach - didn't need to. Meals delivered in so "no masks" required. A few minor issues - maintenance handled right away. We would absolutely, highly recommend. Only bad thing - we forgot binoculars. TONS of dolphins swimming by put on quite a show - just would have been better with binoculars! We will be back for sure. Thanks to everyone who helped make this family reunion a get together to remember forever. And thanks for recommendation on Key Concierge - they were great to work with as well.

Perfect weekend in Encinitas
by David Cohen
Our group of 14 was very pleased with the home. Towels and linens were stocked, the kitchen had lots of plates and utensils, and the view from the patio was terrific. Lots of umbrellas provided shade and the combo pool/ping pong table provided lots of fun. The one problem we had with the Jacuzzi was promptly addressed. The garage and driveway can accommodate three SUV vehicles but four would be very tight. Location is close enough to walk to beach and Encinitas. Fun time for all of us.
Thank you for your fantastic review David! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the amazing views, and all of the amenities the beachfront home has to offer! We look forward to having you come back soon!

Fantastic home!
by Margaret Wood
Seventeen members of our family stayed in this home for Spring Break 2019. We had a fantastic time. This home did not disappoint. The location was exactly what we were looking for—close to San Diego but not in the thick of the city. We visited Legoland and the San Diego Zoo. The rest of the time we biked, took in other sites, or just rested. Ahhh! The views are to die for. We saw a whale, dolphins, and were able to watch surfers do their thing along with being able to watch the grandkids enjoy the surf from the deck. The beach was great—we watched the tide tables and took advantage of the low tides. The living space is great—so many roomy bedrooms. The kitchen is well-stocked which was important as we did quite a bit of cooking. Really loved this home and the neighborhood. (My daughter-who is an interior designer-had helped design a home down the street when she lived in SD 15 years ago!) We would definitely stay here again.
Thank you for your fantastic review Margaret! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the !

Girls Weekend Getaway
by christine kaussen
The house is situated beachfront and within walking distance of many restaurants and stores. Beach access is close to the property. We enjoyed our time at the house but there were definitely some issues that prevented us from enjoying full. The AC system is on a 4 hour timer, although the property is beachfront there is only a breeze to the front bedrooms (two). AC is needed on a warm day and night, there were many complaints regarding how hot it was at night. One of the master bedrooms, the window level was broken so they were unable to open windows. The refrigerator never got cold. There was a warning not to add room temperature drinks? We had to resort to buying and replenishing ice throughout the weekend to endure our drinks and food remained cold in the refrigerator.
Thank you for the review Christine! It was our pleasure having you stay at our beachfront property. We are so glad that you were able to not only enjoy the wonderful property but the surrounding areas as well! We have our a/c's on 4 hour timers not only to insure energy efficiency, but also to provide environmental benefits as well. We want to encourage you to contact our management staff during your next stay so we are able to address any issues right when they happen to make your experience the best it can possibly be. We value your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Family trip
by Jeffrey Friedman
We had a great family trip at the house - 14 guests ranged in age from 11 to 80. The location of the house in Encinitas was perfect and the oceanfront view from the patio and balcony was phenomenal. We had several minor maintenance issues which we notified the property manager about to correct after our departure. We had been concerned about parking and noise restrictions - due to previous commenters and messages from the management company - but we had no problems with either.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We are so happy to hear you and your whole family enjoyed the house and the amazing views! And we are glad that our staff was able to help you regarding the maintenance issue. We look forward to having you come back soon!

Mixed reviews for great place, great location, sub-par experience
by Monica Mainwaring
Great place, great location. Accomodates 18 well, all will be comfortable. Great for children through to elders. Highlights: view, proximity to stairs (steep, but good exercise) to beach, private-ish beach and ocean swimming is wonderful. Feels private and yet close enough (a walk away) to cute and trendy downtown (good restaurants, all the shops you need). The home is beachy and airy and lovely. Good for a retreat of people who know each other well, or not (rooms on second floor feel like a hotel; marked by names). Great to have wash machines (2!) and fridge space. Wish the dishwasher was bigger. Things that were broken or missing upon arrival: hot tub, ping pong table net, dishwasher rack, air conditioning instruction. Management responded, but one had to fight for a fix. Little reassurance that they would hop on it or be apologetic lest the customer was insistent and persistent, a bummer. Air-con weak, so don't go on a hot week, b/c the beach breeze can't compete and air-con "isn't made to really cool the house down." We had some miserable family members purchasing extra fans and nursing migraines because of it. Overall, good. Would've expected, for the prices, less crumbs in corners, less hassles (the hot tub not working, and they knew it, and weren't proactive, come on!), a little more excellence. I suppose you're paying for the view and the space. I think the company should own that or charge slightly more and deliver on excellence.
Great for large family reunion
by Gordon Oakes
Fourteen of stayed here for a week. Everyone loved watching, walking and swimming/ surfing in the ocean. The house is casually furnished, appropriate for a beach house. We had no problems at all. Loved walking to great Italian restaurant, Vigilucci’s. Would have like more towels to avoid washing, it machines in garage were very handy.
Family Reunion Was Wonderful
by John Wall
Our four adult children, their spouses and our seven grandchildren joined us for a reunion that we hadn't had for over ten years. It was a great place for all 17 of us. Everyone had the perfect sleeping arrangement and the common areas accommodated our meals, our games, our conversations and relaxation. Everything we needed for cooking was there. The deck overlooking the ocean gave us great views of the surfers, the dolpins and the sunsets. The location was convenient to shopping and the Stone Steps gave us easy access to the beach, although coming back up was a challenge. When we ran out of propane for the BBQ, a representative was there quickly with refilled tanks. Having the washer and dryer was great to wash the beach towels each day. Overall, it was a great time in a super setting.
Thank you John!
We are so glad that your whole family got some time together. We are so glad that we could get you some more propane. We hope you come and stay with us again. The Team at Beachfront Only

Why Can't I Live at the Beach Full Time????
by Barbara Goen
It was spectacular in so many ways. The house was beautiful, the beach access was perfect, the views were astonishing. It was quiet, peaceful, utterly relaxing. Large comfy rooms. Small requests for next time -- SHARP kitchen knives, basic provisions (extra salt, pepper, foil, plastic wrap, more paper towels and napkins, coffee grinder) cupboard door pulls well secured, dishwasher needed a part replaced.
Dear Barbara,
Thank you so much for the review. We are glad that you had a fabulous time with your family at the beach. We have replaced the knifes, added more salt and pepper. We do not provide foil, plastic wrap. We do provide a start of paper towels and toilet paper. We hope to host you again soon.

Great family vacation!
by Marilyn Brown
The house and location were a perfect fit our family of 8 adults and 2 children. Kids loved the hot tub. Close to Animal Safari Park and LegoLand. Note of caution: beach access is 1/2 block away BUT it is up and down A LOT of steps!
Dear Marilyn, Thank you so much for the review. This home is perfect for families traveling together. The hot tub out by the ocean is one of our favorite spots for relaxing and playing. All properties are located on the bluff in Encinitas so that the access to the beach does require taking stairs. We hope we get to host you again soon! Thanks, The Team at Beachfront Only.

Fabulous Beach House for Large Family
by Charles Strom
My large extended family with five adult couples and 7 children stayed for a week in Encinitas. The Eight bedrooms including a mother-in-law suite on the first floor were more than ample to give everyone a comfortable place to sleep. The views are extraordinary from the huge patio and the hot tub was great to warm up in after boogie boarding and surfing.
This is a perfect place for a family reunion or gathering!
My only negative is that there are no beach chairs provided with this rental. Providing some chairs to use when having a beach day would have improved the experience greatly.
Dear Charles,
Thank you so much for the feedback and for the review. We are so glad that your whole group was able to enjoy the beach. We do not provide beach chairs for liability reasons, but we agree they would be so nice to have. We hope we get to host you again soon!

Wonderful Beach Weekend
by Forrest Tuttle
We had an amazing weekend with friends and family here! The location, view and property were all amazing. Kitchen was well appointed and it was helpful to have spices and all the serving and cooking equipment for a large group. The hot tub was not working, but the management company was responsive and had it fixed. Just a few things to note/highlight; it would have been nice for there to be shampoo/conditioner in the bathrooms. I agree the rental is family friendly, but for those traveling with small children, you will need to bring your own baby equipment and toys/sand toys etc.
Finally, there's a pool/ping pong table in the main living space. I think all the adults wished it was not there and that there was more seating!
All that said, we would love to come back, the location and the ocean views just cannot be beat.
Thank you for the amazing review Forrest! It was our pleasure having you stay at our beachfront property. We are so happy you had an amazing weekend and that maintenance was responsive and had the hot tub fixed right away.
While we do fully stock our kitchens and provide you with a lot of the basic items including spices, we also provide a list of items on our website (under what you need bring) that you will need to bring on your trip which includes cooking oil, saran wrap and foil for left overs. We don't provide maid service so unfortunately we can't provide items that cannot be restocked on a daily basis, like shampoo, but we do provide some basics items to get you started such a toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, etc. We do not provide beach accessories as people tend to either take them when they leave or leave them on the beach, but we do have an amazing concierge service that can provide all beach items for you.
Thank you for review and we hope to see you all again soon.

Golden Anniversary Family Reunion
by Lyle Smith
For our 50th Anniversary, my wife and I gathered together all of our children, grandchildren, and great grandchild to help us celebrate. The vacation rental allowed us to all be together for 4 nights and provided ample time to reminisce. It was a great
time which we will never forget.
Thank you for the amazing review Lyle! It was our pleasure having you stay at our beachfront property. We felt honored that you chose our home to celebrate your 50th wedding anniversary and we are so happy that it accommodated your group so well and you were able to make amazing memories.

Fabulous Place!!
by Scott Johnson
We stayed here for three nights for a family reunion. The view, the patio, and the whole place exceeded our expectations! The house was very clean and had all the amenities for our stay. There were 14 of us including two toddlers and there was plenty of space for everyone. The beach access (including a life guard station) was just a few houses down the street. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!
We love your 5 star review Scott, and we are so glad that the property exceeded your expectations! We thank you for your amazing review and can’t wait to see you again soon!

See, smell, hear and feel the waves!
by Joseph Fogel
Home is situated on the bluff. So close that you feel as if your on the water. Greta views from the master bedroom,, The great room glass doors fold leading to a large deck. Perfect for entertaining. We had our 6 kids, 2 with spouses, for 10 days. A perfect family gathering. Brought our SUP's and rented surfboards for all day beach fun. Encinitas restaurants close by. The Better Buzz for coffee a must.
Thank you for your fantastic review Joseph! We are so happy to hear that you not only enjoyed the house and the amazing views, but also the surrounding area and local restaurants as well! We look forward to having you come back soon!

AN AMAZING TIME IN A GORGEOUS BEACH HOUSE W/ OUR WEDDING PARTY!
by Jenna Rose
This beach house was the PERFECT fit for my now husband and our entire wedding party (including our dogs!) Everyone enjoyed this beautiful property overlooking the beautiful ocean. There was enough space for everyone--the rooms are huge and the patios were phenomenal! I would hands down recommend this to anyone and I'm hoping I can stay here again in the future.

great layout for our children and grandchildren. Little item needed repair, but minor in nature. Should tell tenants you have to run hot water several minutes before it warms up. Once know not a problem.

Yaya girlfriends
by Margaret Stephenson
We had a lovely time together. 13 girlfriends from college. We were celebrating everyone's 60th birthday year. The weather could have been better, we still took advantage of the patio and hot tub. We had a few problems which the management team took care of quickly. I wonder why there was not enough lighting in the living room, there was not enough chairs for everyone to sit at the table. the table mats(not enough) were worn and looked well used. The dishwasher needed a quick dry rinse because we felt the dishes weren't clean as well as they should have been.there were 2 toasters yet one of them had a coil not working. The location was amazing and we loved every minute of our stay
Thank you for the review Margaret! It was our pleasure having you stay at our beachfront property to celebrate all of your 60th birthday year and we are so happy that it accommodated your group so well. We also love to hear that our management team took care of any issues quickly. We are happy to tell you that since your stay, we have completely redecorated the entire property.

WOW!!!
by Nancy Littlehale
A group of women in our 50s stayed for 4 days. There is AMPLE room in the common spaces for all. The bedrooms and baths are all generously sized. Off street parking for 4. The deck is amazing and unlike other rentals I have done, the hot tub is clean and gets hot (if you want it.) We all really loved it and I would stay there again in a heart beat.

Ely Family reunion
by Gail Ely
We had a wonderful stay at our rental in Encinitas. The location was perfect having multigenerational folks. Walking distance to the beach, able to do a pick up volleyball game, walking distance to a great taco place all made it a really nice experience.
The house worked well with bedrooms and bathrooms spread out. The open downstairs that lead onto a large outside area worked really well for our group.
We were very happy with our rental experience

The Perfect Weekend Getaway
by Mary O'Connor
Fourteen ladies gathered for the weekend at this amazing place to celebrate 25 years for our book club. Although most of us came from the San Diego area, we immediately felt like we were far away from it all and in our own private resort. There was many beds and bedrooms to choose from and numerous bathrooms to make our stay enjoyable. The deck overlooking the ocean was the most used spot at the house and we ate every meal either watching the sunrise or sunset. With a short walk to the beach we enjoyed the warm weather and warm water. Local shops and restaurants are a short distance away. The beds were comfortable and every kitchen item was there for our use. Having 2 refrigerators was key to keeping our wine and beer cold and all the goodies we brought. We all left renewed and refreshed. This was the perfect getaway for a girls weekend or family reunion. The place is so big that you can have alone and quiet time or enjoy time with a big group.
Dear Mary, It was our pleasure having you stay at our beachfront property. We felt honored that you chose our home to celebrate your 25th Book Club anniversary and we are so happy that it accommodated your group so well. Thank you for review and we hope to see you all again soon.

Family Vacation
by Gloriann Chavez
Our entire family of 14 enjoyed our vacation stay. The location is excellent, the house was beautiful, the beach was clean, and all our needs were meet!

We love the town of Encinitas!

Beautiful location!
by Sheryl Folck
The whole experience was wonderful, you were very easy to work with and the app was very convenient, we all had a wonderful time. The one thing we wanted to mention was that the floors were not very clean when we arrived, we removed our shoes and within 30 mins of walking around our feet were brown and dirty. Just thought you needed to know that but in general everything else was clean. Thank you!

Great vacation getaway
by Julie Cope
Had a wonderful vacation with great friends and plenty of room. We all loved having large gathering areas with plenty of room for all of us, there was 12, and private rooms for individuals and couples. Only bad thing, which was minor was there was only one spatula in the kitchen and we were all cooks who didn't think to bring this item. Only complaint.

Family reunion
by glenna davolt (RA)
The space accommodated our large group: 14 comfortably. Spectacular views, we very much enjoyed. Convenient to shopping. Well-appointed kitchen for meal prep / eating in. Negative: We were not informed that the house did not have A/C. The daytime temp was 85 & humid --so a sweaty experience. It was somewhat uncomfortable, but not unbearable. If we had known & had a choice between A/C & no A/C --we would have chosen a place with A/C.

Best California experience
by Cindy Craft
Wonderful ocean views from a spacious house. All 14 of us, from age one to 90, loved our time together. Having breakfast on the patio while watching dolphins swim up the coast was one of the special things we enjoyed. The location was perfect as was the beach at the bottom of the cliffs. We appreciated the property more on our final day than on our first day - a sign that we were extremely happy with our stay. It wasn't terribly luxurious - but very accommodating.
So much fun!
by Anitha Ibrahim
Amazing view and location is great - just a block from
Access to Neptune beach. We took five kids between 1.5 to 6.5 years old and beach and house was perfect for all of them (and adults too).
Awesome Birthday Celebration!
by Lorna Kirby Lorna Kirby
We (my five sons, wives and grandchildren, 17 of us) had a truly marvelous time celebrating my 80th Birthday. We all agreed that this was the best vacation ever!

Perfect place while we had to be out of our house
by Steve Loomis
Getting our floors done, so needed to be out of the house for a few days - So glad we decided to rent a Beach Front Rental - Enjoyed the two days of beautiful sunshine and perfect to curl up by one of the fireplaces when the weather turned ugly. Rental was clean, fully furnished with plenty of parking and incredible ocean views from both the upstairs bedroom and the downstairs dining/family room. Cooked a couple meals in the well appointed kitchen and walked to nearby coffee hang-out's and fun dinner at Soltera. Highly recommend BFO for vacation or just as a home away from home if you need to be out of the house but still go to work, etc.

Ya ya girls reunion
by Margaret Stephenson
Beautiful home, wonderful location. The furniture was alittle worn. The kitchen supplies, pots and pans could have been better, It would have been nice to have more storage containers and to have more than 1 extra roll of toliet paper in the bathrooms.Its kind of funny to have a pool table in the living room. My friends loved, loved, loved it and we want to come back in 2 years. We loved the location of the beach and Encinitas. Our week together went to fast!
Thank you for the review! We have added more dish towels and storage containers to this property. ~ The Team at Beachfront Only

Excellent location for family get-together!
by Richard Piazza
House was beautiful, well stocked, had great ocean views with large patio area, had pool table/table tennis. We had 17 in party and never felt like we were on top of each other. Bedrooms were upstairs, roomy, with many baths that was a plus. We could walk easily to beach eateries, and shopping. Downtown was a short drive (or moderate walk). We were concerned with parking but it was no problem. Only real "problem" we had was that carving knives were very dull (we had a turkey ??). We would definitely rent again!
Thank you so much for the great review! We do appreciate the information about the knives, and will replace them as a result!

Relaxing get away
by Meta Rosen
A beautiful and comfortable home in a great setting. The 4PM check in and 10AM checkout makes a two night stay seem quite short. A little more time to relax on the great patio in the morning would top off the stay. 11AM would be more workable.

YOU CAN SEE FOREVER
by Patty Szot
Great location and truly enjoyed ourselves, however, to accommodate 17-20 people, there needs to be a bigger/better BBQ, an extra refrigerator in the garage would be a huge plus, a larger stovetop (could barley have 4 pans on at the same time) and there needs to be some sort of covering (that can be adjusted) to the skylights because NOBODY enjoyed waking up at 5:30 -6:00 am with the light coming in. I appreciate the energy efficiency but that is just too early while on vacation. Skylights were not disclosed in the description, especially in the two larger rooms. The brace on the kitchen slide door was totally unnecessary and made the kitchen extremely warm. We replaced it before we left. The kitchen split levels down the family room, but there is no railing between the two - could be a little dangerous if you have little ones. But again, we had a wonderful time!

Encinitas
by Kim Castagna
Location can't be beat. House is sitting on the bluff overlooking Stonestep beach and access is only 1/2 block away. They call this an 8 bedroom home which is technically correct. However, access to one of those bedrooms is denied via a locked door. That borders on false advertising. The kitchen needs a better selection of cookware and more dish towels and rags. There are plenty of dishes and silverware, though. Also, because the house uses a sump pump, no garbage disposal. New ping pong paddles would be nice, too. There is parking for 5 small vehicles and Encinitas does not allow street parking with rentals. The folks at Beachfront are very friendly and accommodating. After all is said and done, expensive rental but it's all about the location and this one is the best.

Pollock Family Weekend
by Patty Maher
After pating extra for an early check-in the entry code we received did not work. We called the office and tried both doors with a rep on the line and still no entry. The rep then had to call me back. At least 15 minutes went by before we finally got a code that worked. Since your company is so strict on check-in's, I believe we are due $31.25 for those 15 minutes. Also, the upstairs hall bathroom had terribly low water pressure and alternating hot and cold water temperature. Please respond at my email, which you gave on file. Thank you, Patty Maher

To top it off we had amazing whale and dolphin sightings from the back yard deck. Keep up the great work, BFO!

A Fun New Year's reunion with friends
by Elizabeth Tulanowski
We rented the house for 4 nights for a New Year's reunion with friends. The house was beautiful, had a great view and a great location. We had some kids in the group, and the house worked well for them, although there was one ledge from the dining room to the living area we had to watch out for. We had larger group, 17 including kids, but there was plenty of room for everyone.
We had a little trouble with the hot tub, but maintenance was there right away to work on it.
There is a 9pm limit for noise on the patio, which could be a bummer in better weather, but in January it was too cold old to be an issue for us.
Overall we had a great time in this lovely house!
Thank you for your review! The 9pm noise limit is not only our good neighbor policy, but also a City ordinance, and simply restricts excessive noise. Our rentals are all in residential areas, and we try our hardest to be respectful of all of our neighbors. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to have you stay with us again soon!

386 neptune
by Kim Castagna
Very spacious, fantastic location. Just half block to Stair Step beach. Pool and ping-pong table. Wonderful spa/hot tub on the main patio. Granite throughout. Beachfront staff was very helpful and accommodating. Had a small problem with the spa and they had it repaired quickly. There were only two drawbacks: the dishwasher's bottom tray would not stay on it's track and there is no garbage disposal. However, since those are relatively minor complaints, I would highly recommend this property.

Noise ordinance
by geoffrey stanisic
Great experience except for the neighbor who ask told us we were not allowed to make noise on the outside patio after 9pm. Not unreasonable- but not any fun either. We were merely conversing on the patio with maybe a few laughs.
Outstanding!
by Ricky Brincat
We rented this house for our 10 year anniversary. It's only a couple houses down from the stone steps and within walking distance of Moonlight beach. I hate dishes but the view while doing them in this house can change anyone's mind. OR there are some great restaurants near by. Grocery stores are less than 10 minutes away. This place is breathtaking!

Some Improvements needed
by Jann Bytheway
In the master bedroom the sun screens were not private (any of the neighboring properties can see into the bedroom at night). I really disliked the craziness of the electrical switches. Some work, some don't. There was only one TV guide available for the 2 TV's. You always have to remember to bring the ONE guide either upstairs or downstairs. The size of the print for the guide was SO SMALL, that a magnifying glass was necessary... that I had to go buy along with a fireplace starter. Can't you provide the fireplace lighter and a larger print TV guide for each TV? The Duvae covers were old and faded.
We have tried to go through and label all of the switches to what they go to, and ones that are not working. Regarding the TV guide, the listings are always directly on the television. We also provide a lighter which is in the kitchen with the barbecue utensils. ~The Team at Beachfront Only
Great Option for a Family Reunion
by Evelyn Felton
There are not that many good options when you are looking at getting 5 families together for a family reunion. We were very lucky to find this beach house and could not have been happier with the condition and location of the house. It was very relaxing being merely 1 block from Stone Steps (beach access, about 100 stairs). It gave us total flexibility for some of us to hang out while others went on day trips. The town is great and has a Whole Foods Market. Take a 10 minute drive and you have Trader Joes and Ralphs.
Beachfront Properties was a pleasure to work with. They set clear expectations of the process and we had everything we needed in a timely manner. They called the day before our trip to make sure we were set.
I would highly recommend this property and Beachfront Properties.
SPECTACULAR SPACIOUS STAY IN ENCINITAS

Another great get away with Beachfront Only! This home was amazing, 7 bedrooms all upstairs, lovely living/family room with fireplace made the time with my family so very special. Sitting at the dining table enjoying dinner and looking out at that gorgeous ocean was amazing. I would recommend this home to large families who want to all be together. It is very clean, very comfortable beds, linens, towels. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay once again, thanks Beachfront Only !! We will be back 🙂

Delightful Stay in San Diego
by Mary Rupke
We had 14 adults, 3 toddlers and 2 infants. The house was a perfect place for all of us to enjoy interacting together and to enjoy the beauty of the Pacific Ocean and the neighborhood. There was plenty of room and the house was very clean and comfortably furnished. We enjoyed cooking in the well stocked kitchen which had space for multiple cooks at a time! We were blessed with great weather as well as several sitings of dolphins and whales ... the deck and hot tub were well used. The house was within walking distance of coffee shops, book store, etc. It was a great reunion of old friends/family, 4 years in the making and this was a perfect spot.

Wonderful week at the beach
by Stan Stokowski
We had 9 adults and 8 children at the rental. The house has plenty of room for all and we had a great time. Loved the spa overlooking the beach. Our only recommendation is to put some hangings or pictures on the wall to absorb sound. With young children the sound level can get rather high. We also had to move to another house after a week. The staff was rather accommodating in facilitating the move.

Fantastic!
by Jean Bruce Scott
We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday at the beach house with friends from all across the USA. There were 14 of us (7 couples) and we had the best time. The 7 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths were perfect, towels and beach towels were provided for everyone, plus extra towels in each bathroom. Also, the kitchen dishes, glasses, pots, pans, and utensils are great for a group that cooks (which we did). The sit down bar was perfect for our non-chefs and there was plenty of room in the kitchen for three or four of us chopping and cooking and the "stand up bar" was great for those who wanted to watch or chat or come in and out of the conversation(s). If you have a group as large as ours I'd recommend getting or bringing a couple of coolers for drinks - as there's only one frig and it fills up fast for 14 people for a weeks worth of meals.
The living room was comfortable and we had a fire in the fireplace most days & nights. The deck and jacuzzi were perfect for whale and dolphin watching (we saw plenty of both)! And, having two washers and dryers was great to keep up with wet towels and swimsuits.
All in all - a fantastic house! We'll definitely make plans to return.

Beautiful Beach Front Home w/incredible views
by Rachel Menn
We had 15 adults and 3 children in this beautiful home for a week. The house is very spacious for a large group and very kid friendly. I grew up in the area and was already familiar with the surroundings (beach, restaurants, etc). I would highly recommend this house for anyone wanting a memorable vacation of a lifetime.

Best vacation rental ever
by Jennifer Erzinger
This is the second year my family and I have stayed in this home. It is magnificent! The views are incredible, and the home is beautiful. Everything that you need is right there. One of my favorite parts was being able to light up the fireplace at night since it was a bit chilly when we were here. There are even 2 sets of washers and dryers, so I had no laundry when returning home from vacation, which is always nice. Beachfront only rentals are the best, and I can't wait for my next stay!

Nice stay. A few criticisms below under additional comments.
by Paul Pabst
We had to call in someone to get the wireless internet up. Getting more than basic cable up and running was a three day process. Otherwise overall would be five star.
WE HAD AN AMAZING TIME!!
by Randy Wilson
This was a great location for our family get away. We had 10 adults and 5 kids (ages 6 mo. to 3 1/2 yrs) and the place was big enough to accommodate all of us and all the stuff that we need for youngsters. The patio and beach were perfect for little ones (the stairs to the beach were a little challenging) as well as the grown ups!! We took great walks through the neighborhood, enjoyed local eats and shopping!! Boogie boarding, surfing and sand castle building were all fun activities!! AND...we had arranged for a photographer, in advance, who met us there and took our family photos down on the beach!! It was great! We also brought a small blow-up pool for the kids that we used on the patio!! Kitchen was well stocked (knives could be sharper) and we ate in most evenings!! The kids are already asking if we can go back!! 🙂
Eight Adults and Three Children from Northern California
by Sheila Cooper
The home was very comfortable and a big plus having two washing machines and two dryers for the eleven of us. There was plenty of room and the walking either on the beach or down the street side was enjoyable each day. The sunsets are beautiful and wathcing the dolphins swim close by the shore each night.
were there. It is only about two miles to the big grocery stores. Balboa Park is also about 20-25 minutes away and the Zoo about 40 minutes. We added a puzzle to the two they already had and the family enjoyed working on them. The kitchen has plenty of dishes, glasses and silverware, pot and pans. A blender would be a nice addition. They especially need a garbage disposal since when cooking and washing dishes it was a pain to have to constantly clean out the since from scraps. The ocean bedrooms were very comfortable with a wonderful breeze from the ocean, but the front two bedrooms by the street were very warm at night. Our stay was nice since we were out and about and not in the bedrooms until bedtime.
We have added a blender to this property. Regarding garbage disposal, we do not provide these in any of our rentals because they were continually breaking down and were more often than not unusable. Thank you for your feedback ~ The Team at Beachfront Only
A Wonderful Welcome Home!
by Karin Henigan
I could'nt of picked a more beautiful location to welcome home my husband after being away on deployment. This home was amazing. We felt at home the moment we walked through the door. The decor was tasteful and the bedding; hotel quality comfort. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of everything! But the best part of this home>> THE VIEW! Simply put..Breathtaking! We would love to stay here again! Thank you!
by Connie Thatcher
We were missing a broon and dust pan which we purchased and left, so now there is one. Over all, we loved the place, the view, the weather was perfect, and we liked that it didn't take very long to go the places we wanted to go. Maybe you could have some plastic bowls and plates for children.
Broom and dust pan have been replaced. We have so much dish ware that paper products would be recommended for children.

Wonderful Family Vacation on the Beach
by Jennifer Erzinger
I stayed here with my entire family and extended family for a week and it could not have been better. There was plenty of space for everyone and the home never felt crowded. We enjoyed our evenings sitting out on the patio, sipping wine, going in and out of the spa, and watching the sunsets. Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds are, and we are all planning to rebook and return same time next year!! Check in was so easy with the keyless entry codes, and property management even called before we arrived to see if we had any questions, as well as call before our departure to ask how our stay was. Overall, a fabulous experience and can't wait to do it again next year!! It was just what we all needed.

Perfect location on the beach - our third visit with our family
by Christine Stainton
It was truly perfect that is reflective in our 3 visits. Only problem was a broken water spout in refrig and need for a new coffee pot. We all loved it as it was close to perfection.
The broken water spout has been fixed, and the coffee pot has been replaced - Thank you for your feedback! ~ The team at Beachfront Only
A family week at 396 Neptune, Encinitas
by Dana Box
We had a great week with 17 family members. We also have a Tahoe Vacation Rental and are familiar with managemrnt concerns. The big things were excellent, the small things need some attention, ie:
1 All the knives were VERY dull and no knife sharpener and the steel was nicked.
2 Can opener was broken.
3 Slat on door of cabinet below sink was loose.
4 There were many cars parked on street overnight and we were told we could not.
Thank you for your feedback. The broken can opener and slat on door has been replaced and/or fixed. Regarding the parking, regular residents can park their cars overnight on Neptune, however, it is a City Law that there is no overnight street parking for the Vacation Rentals. Because this is a vacation rental, we have to abide by this rule and use the designated garage and driveway spots.
by Veronica Montgomery
Great location! Great house! Bedrooms are quiet,even when activities go on downstairs latter in the evening. Great for multiple famlies.
Perfect Family Get Together!!!
by Brianna Stoecklein
It's so hard sometimes to get your family together at the same time, between juggling work & kids it is so difficult! This was the perfect place to finally just relax with each other and it was great for the little ones as well! They could run around and play and we didn't have to worry about a thing! We just lounged in the jacuzzi and cooked some burgers! If you're looking for the perfect size property for a large family with little ones, look no further!!!
Encinitas Beach House- Fabulous Location & Stay!
by Lori Yoder
The house was absolutely wonderful and perfectly set up for large families/groups. We had a "girls getaway" and the rooms & bathrooms suited us perfectly.The only downside was not having a garbage disposal.That was a bit of a nuisense. If you are renting the home, be sure to bring the garbage cans inside the garage as neighbors use them & fill them up leaving you without any space for garbage. The rental company sent someone out to take away the garbage, but that shouldn't need to happen. All in all you can't beat the location & comfort of this home.
We have actually taken garbage disposals out of all of our homes because they were becoming a constant maintenance issue and always breaking or jamming up. We do apologize for this inconvenience. Thank you for the feedback! ~ The Team at Beachfront Only
Friends and family vacation
by Sally Henning
We had a wonderful visit! The house was all we expected and then some. The views were memorable-sunsets, surfers and the occasional dolphin! We also enjoyed a beautiful sail in San Diego Bay on the "Stars and Stripes" , wine tasting in Temecula, lots of wonderful food, relaxing, shopping and catching up on each others lives.
Only issue was first floor bathroom did not work very well. But when staff called to see how everything was going, they had someone out to fix the problem.
by Bob Gast
The view was wonderful, the beach was wonderful and the weather was sunny, warm with a cool breeze, so nice. The kids and grandkids enjoyed the stay very much. In addition the moon was full, a great night view. The staff was most helpful. We would like to come back.
This was a perfect vacation rental gettaway. We hosted a 50th birthday party here with out of town guests - and it had everything we needed and more! Highly recommend this property.
by Julie Hussey
The staff from Beach Rentals were terrific. They were very responsive, helpful and went above and beyond to make this a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Beach Vacation Rentals.
