Fun stay in Encintas
Our family had such a nice stay in Encinitas. Mary was a gracious host and was so welcoming but also gave us privacy. The place was perfect for us since we could cook there. The pullout couch bed was comfortable as was the other bed in the back bedroom. There is a big open area that is fenced behind the place and Mary lives in a place adjacent to the rental. The property is in a very nice location where you can walk to Swami's Beach or downtown or go along the Rail Trail. The kitchen was fully stocked which was very helpful. There are some downstairs tenants sometimes but they were not there when we were there.

Cool spot, not up to par for us as far as cleanliness
The owner is so nice and accommodating. The location is great. I don’t want to provide negative feedback but a few notes on what made it not the greatest for us personally. The place felt so incredibly dusty and things not cleaned regularly like baseboards, under furniture, ceiling fans and vets etc. Suggest to hire a regular cleaning person. The place also had minimal insulation and was so very cold both mornings. Tried the heater but made no impact.

Perfect location, perfect host
We had the most magnificent stay in Encinitas at Mary's property! She was very welcoming of us and our dogs! Mary has a "park" in her backyard that she let us utilize and it could not have been more perfect. The property had lots of amenities and she even accommodated a couple odd requests that we had at the beginning of our stay! Thanks from our family - we had an amazing time and hope to be back in the future!

Welcome port in a storm
After travelling for over a week with some wild weather, it was a relief to have Mary welcome us. The place is very comfortable, and in a neighborhood we love. Mary lives next door and is very helpful without being at all intrusive. We'd gladly stay here again.
