Rating Details:The property manager was very helpful.The vacation rental was clean.I was very happy with the location.I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.Overall, I recommend this vacation rental.Reviewer Comments:The unit was a perfect size for a family of seven! We enjoyed sitting out on the lanai, watching the waves and seeing the dolphins swimming by. It is our understanding that many of the minor defects with the unit are scheduled to get some badly needed TLC. Overall the unit worked well for our family.

Needs more thorough cleaning such as carpets need cleaning, blinds need to be replaced. Outdoor area needs landscaping improved old weeds and old glass pots in area around terrace need removing. Generally acceptable condition several things were replaced by Scrubbs such as new umbrella and screens on doors. We enjoyed the beautiful view and location.Would stay again

Stubb’s property management is very organized, made the check-in process simple and easy, and even allowed me to check-in early since my VRBO was ready. The kitchen in the house was well stocked with dishes, cookware, spices and appliances. The wine opener (a simple corkscrew) was broken on arrival but since I didn’t expect one I had brought my own. The house itself could use a good deep clean but overall the towels and bed linens were extremely clean as they are professionally laundered. All of the windows, doors and even the glass fence around the patio facing the ocean were all sparkling clean and spotless allowing us to enjoy the gorgeous unobstructed ocean views. The bed in the master bedroom was extremely comfortable ( I have a hard time finding comfortable beds so I was pleasantly surprised). The location can’t be beat . The VRBO even included bikes in the garage to use. My only complaints are the house could use new patio furniture/cushions, a gate on the back patio which connects to the side stairs and a really good deep clean of the house, otherwise it’s perfect . Definitely would stay here again and the views, location and helpfulness of the property management company made it all worth it.

Wonderful property situated on one of the most prestigious roads in Leucadia
Myself and four friends flew over from London and stayed here so we could attend a wedding.
The property is a little out of the main Encinitas strip but walkable (10 minutes). The property is spacious, clean and has the most amazing views to the rear.
Our favourite restaurant nearby was called Birdseye (Thai) and favourite coffee shop was called Pannikin.
Overall an amazing trip and wonderful property which was reasonably priced.

Reviewer Comments:
We've stayed in some places in Encinitas that were straight out of the 60's but in a cool beachy vibe. This was built in 1990 and NOTHING has been done since. Zero maintenance. Duct tape on floor where refrigerator had leaked, 2 colors of duct tape so obviously no repair for a while. Not even a decent couch, 2 loveseats so you couldn't even stretch out and they were stiff and uncomfortable. Kitchen was poorly stocked, no cookie sheet, maybe 5 drinking glasses. Spare bedding stacked oddly in closets and kitchen not organized at all. Did I mention vertical blinds? (1990) and blinds in bedrooms were cheap and translucent. Yes, the bathrooms all need updated but I could look past that if they were maintained and cleaned. All of that being said, the location was great and oceanfront is amazing. But even the deck has a stack of weird glass lighting stuffed in the corner- just throw them away! Weeds, no landscape maintenance. Birds had even made a nest in a canned light on the overhang. Location on ocean is wonderful but just some basic maintenance is needed, doesn't need to be the latest style just maintain.

The heater ran 24/7 during a heatwave, floors are coming up (Duct taped together) No ice maker, beds are one double, one queen and two twins, could not find matching sheets. No wine glasses, all of the outdoor furniture is broken and unusable, the vertical blinds falling off when touched, cigarette butts everywhere outside, windows won't close (swollen because of age ) fireplace upstairs doesn't work, and fan controls don't work. Downstairs toilet is broken and runs constantly, again windows won't shut.The only thing was the view/ too expensive for such a POS house, the owners need to put 10k (at least) to make this livable. So disappointed, came all the way bro Maui for this.

The porch view is amAzing- wonderful view of the ocean. Surfers to watch all day with dolphins and sea lion passing by. The location is great- short walk to beach access and to a few restaurants. The house needs some updating- windows and screens need to be updated. The bones of the house are great just needs a bit of love and updating. Kitchen and living room was the most updated. I would stay again- worth the sunset views!!

You can't beat the view and location of the Coastal Soul property. It was wonderful to watch the sun set over the water every night and wake up to dolphins playing in the mornings. It's a short walk down to both Stonesteps and Beacons beaches, as well as to the many fantastic bars and restaurants on the 101. Easy to check in, find the house, and park, with easy communication through the Stubbs agency. The house itself takes a little getting used to - the fixtures and features are a bit of a hodgepodge, the water gets very hot, and there's significant train noise in the bedrooms on the street side of the house, but all that is totally worth it based on view and location. So happy with the memories made during our stay.

I don't want to give this place 1 star. And the property management company is actually very communicative and responsive. The location is unbeatable and the view is great. The wifi is adequate enough (~50Mbps) on the ocean side of the house. Beds are good and sheets are good.But there is lots of mold in the house, especially at the fridge which is extra gross. Other travelers have mentioned this and it is still not resolved. The carpets are dirty and old and the kind that need to be replaced. I believe the property management cleaned it, but it needs a DEEP clean, after EVERY visitor.Lots of things broken in the house that are highly irritating*MOLD in kitchen bathroom and bedrooms*master bedroom screen door broken*all screen doors have big holes*blinds dont work well and are missing many pieces*sharp carpet staple/nail right at entrance of bedroom, cut my foot twice until i remembered to step around it*leather bench is broken*1 outside patio lounge chair is broken*other outside patio chairs are flimsy*kitchen equipment and appliances are all really bad/old/grossOverall, its incredibly disappointing. I would let a lot of things most of the above things slide given that it is a great location and view--they just need to put in a little more effort instead of trying to cut so many cornersBut the mold.....that stuff is toxic.

The view was absolutely everything I’d hoped it would be. You could hear the waves in the house. So easy to sit on the deck & enjoy watching surfers & dolphins & beautiful sunsets. But you could go down a few blocks & access the sand beach.

Unbeatable location, highly recommend even if moderate improvements needed
Tough to beat a spot overlooking the ocean and the view is what immediately grabs you in this home. The back deck is all you need to justify renting this property. The rental is in a great location with walking distance amenities plentifully available in beautiful Encinitas. Would highly recommend this property.
All that being said, while the property was very clean, it definitely could use some love. Refrigerator didn't really work, bathrooms are very outdated, and blinds are in a fragile state meaning you will get a sunrise wakeup most mornings. But fixing some of those minor issues would get this location back to perfect and are easier to overlook as you stare at the beautiful pacific ocean.

Great location, Very beautiful view, great garage. Wish the entrance to beach was a little closer. Walking to restaurants and coffee bar was very convenient.
There was a few things that could be fixed. A few of the chairs inside and out were broken. Broken cabinet doors that kept falling off. Dryer didn’t work very well. But all in all we had a good trip. If I recommended the place to a friend I would let them know these issues.

My family of five stayed at this property in July and had a lovely experience. The Ocean view is fabulous and the beach access was a short walk from the Coastal Soul. The property could use some updating, but there were plenty of supplies, beach toys and proximity to delicious restaurants, bars and shopping. We would definitely stay again.

The management company is rock solid and we will absolutely be doing business with/booking a home with them again (Thanks Tyler)! The only issues with the property cleanliness wise was the carpets, they need a good professional cleaning and the blinds need to be replaced (they have some mold, which is not a surprise given this house is literally above ie ocean) in the guest bedroom and bathroom on the main floor. Otherwise we’re were very happy with the rental, and plan to come back in the future!

Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay on the ocean in Encinitas. This house was bigger and nicer than we expected. We loved the large living room/dining room area, and the large deck overlooking the ocean. We also liked being able to use the garage which attaches to the house. Overall, it was a very nice stay and we would stay in this property again.
