Private Casita close to beaches & hiking

Welcome to our cozy Casita surrounded by lemon groves, tropical vegetation, and panoramic views of rolling hills.
Nestled in the ideal location in Elfin Forest, close to everything but secluded enough for relaxing, quiet time and privacy.
Step outside and you are right on the trails connecting you to miles of scenic hiking & biking in Elfin Forest. Just a stone’s throw to San Elijo’s village with breweries, shopping, and restaurants and only 10 miles to Encinitas’s beaches.

Our Guesthouse is blessed with a refreshing ocean breeze that sweeps through the property! Each room is thoughtfully equipped with a ceiling fan to enhance the circulation of cool air

In addition to the ocean breeze and ceiling fans, we understand that individual preferences for temperature may vary. That's why we also offer a Portable Room Air Conditioner upon request. This portable unit is available for an additional fee of $10 per day (kindly let us know in advance or specify your request during the booking process)

Our kitchen is very well equipped with all new basic kitchen equipment, along with some high-end upgrades like a Keurig K-Supreme Plus Coffee Maker, Instant Pot, juicer, waffle maker, full fridge with a water filter, and ice maker. We also provide a selection of coffee, tea, and hot chocolate options for your enjoyment.

The bedroom is furnished with a very comfortable California king bed, luxurious bedding, and an assortment of cushions and blankets in different firmness levels. Additionally, you'll find a walk-in closet, along with nightlights equipped with USB chargers for your convenience.

There is a designated workspace in the Living Room with a very comfortable office chair, along with a small bluetooth-enabled Bose sound speaker and a selection of books.
Of course there is also a smart TV where you can enjoy streaming services like Netflix or Hulu (log in to your own TV accounts)

In our bathroom, you'll find complimentary luxury shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. In addition to the hair dryer there is also a curling iron.
Guest access
Upon confirming your reservation, we will provide you with the lockbox code, allowing you to access the property independently.

We are thrilled to offer a generous number of parking spaces right as you enter the premises.

Beautiful Casita
Dear Ursina, Thank you for sharing your beautiful casita. Coming back in time for the sunset and waking up with the sunrise was gorgeous. The landscapes, wind in the trees, the sound of birds and hiking trails are all incredibly peaceful. Your attention to detail made it feel like home. Many Thanks, Mandy
