Summary Summary
A secluded retreat in a quiet neighborhood less than 1 mile from the beach – that’s what you’ll find waiting for you at Cozy Contemporary in the stunning city of Encinitas!
Description Description
With its unique combination of modern beach culture and old town atmosphere, spending time outdoors exploring this coastal destination will be a pure delight, with new and exciting activities around virtually every corner. Pack up your beach bag for full days under the plentiful California sun, splashing in the cool surf and relaxing with a good book on the sand. On your way to the beach, you’ll have your choice of delicious dining options just a few blocks away from the home, giving you the option to stop in by car or head out and explore on foot. Want to escape to San Diego, Oceanside, or Old Town? Take a walk to board the Coaster, a commuter train which provides breathtaking views of coastal scenery while offering transport through San Diego County.

You don’t have to leave the home to enjoy the warm, fresh air, however, as the home’s outdoor spaces will make you feel as though you’ve escaped to your very own oasis. Lounge the day away on the relaxing outdoor patio area at the front of the home, with a selection of comfy reclining chairs. Grab a refreshing beverage and relax on the comfortable outdoor sofa seating under the shaded pergola day or night, sharing stories from the fun-filled day. Up on the deck, a dining set with umbrella and seating for 6 is perfect for hosting meals al fresco. Coming home from a day at the beach? Rinse off in the convenient outdoor shower!

You’ll feel right at home the minute you step through the front door into the fresh and modern interior, elegantly furnished and keeping style and comfort top of mind. The chic living room includes plush sofa and armchair seating along with a mounted smart TV for quiet evenings spent streaming your favorite movie. Should the nights grow cooler, light up the gas fireplace to spread warmth and ambiance throughout the room. If you find yourself needing to catch up on work while away, a dedicated workspace with desk and chair are nearby allowing you to focus while keeping you connected to the rest of the group. From here, head into the formal dining area and take meals seated around the elegant table with views of the lush native landscape. Continuing into the updated kitchen, a spacious island is ideal for meal prep, also offering seating for 2 for quick bites or dining overflow. Stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and a farmhouse sink are showcased here, and you’ll find the cabinets well-stocked with cookware and dining ware for whatever culinary desire comes calling.

This home comfortably sleeps 6 guests between 3 private bedrooms.

Bedroom #1 includes a king size bed, smart TV, private balcony, fireplace, and ensuite bathroom with a dual vanity and glass walk-in shower.

Bedroom #2 can double as a second living area with a sofa opening up into a queen size bed and a smart TV.

Bedroom #3 will call to your craftier side, including a queen size Murphy bed, workspace, and a smart TV.

The home also includes a half bathroom as well as an additional full bathroom with an oversized single vanity and shower/tub combo.

Recently named among the 20 best surf towns in the world by National Geographic, Encinitas wears its surf history proudly. Located along six miles of Pacific Ocean coastline, Encinitas is an unspoiled reminder of the historic Highway 101 beach culture that thrived in the mid-1900s. The city's eclectic downtown has long drawn surfers with its unique and dynamic blend of San Diego's top surf shops, coffeehouses and record stores, not to mention the beaches in Encinitas are coveted by locals as hidden gems. Encinitas is alternately known as the "Flower Capital of the World," because of its extensive collection of unique nurseries and gardens, most extensive of which is the San Diego Botanic Garden, and the world's leading grower of the Christmas flower, the poinsettia.

We love staying in Encinitas! This was a comfortable home, lots of space and easy to have our dog with us.

The house is really cozy and the beds are comfortable! The host is quick to respond. The house is also walking distance to some restaurants/shops/bars! My friends and I got breakfast burritos from the taco stand every morning during our stay! There is no ac but ceiling fans in every bedroom which helped with the heat!

Great location, nice quiet neighborhood, very short drive ( 3-5 min) to moonlight beach and town (Encinitas) 1-2 minute drive. Could easily walk but we chose to drive. Very clean, very comfortable home nicely furnished and updated. Felt very private in a peaceful residential neighborhood. Hosts were extremely responsive and helpful. Great stay in Encinitas!

The house was beautiful and comfortable. It is a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. We especially enjoyed sitting on the back deck watching the sunset and bird watching. We saw lots of songbirds, hummingbirds and a Peregrine Falcon perched on a nearby telephone pole. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. Although the neighborhood is not very walkable due to no sidewalks and being hilly, it is a short drive to shops, downtown and the beaches. We had a fantastic stay and highly recommend this house.

A great home in a great location! We stayed for a week with 3 adults, a 2 year old and a dog and it was a great fit. Lots of room for everyone. Great amenities for families and super close to everything. Grocery store and downtown Encinitas is less than 5 mins away. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

After a very difficult evening at another property, we were so grateful to the hosts of Grand Welcome for accommodating us at such short notice. The property was immaculately clean and with beautiful grounds. We were pleased that we ended up staying here. Thank you!

Our family (2/2 and a dog) had an excellent stay! An easy and short drive or lackadaisical walk to Moonlight beach and all the action. It’s comfortable, clean and well- appointed. Even had friends staying a block away ask to share the listing when they came for breakfast. We’ll definitely be back!

This was a great Airbnb. You can tell that the owners actually lived in it (and seemingly return occasionally!), so it felt like an actual home that has been taken care of. The location was great--it's walking distance to Swami's Beach, the meditation garden, and some of the restaurants/shops. And it was very clean. I would absolutely stay again!

Had a great stay! Very responsive hosts, parking was easy, and the home was clean and well set up! Nice location with a quick drive to a lot of local attractions (we just did the beach mostly). Good sized kitchen which is great for our son who has a lot of food allergies. Would highly recommend!

This house is on a few blocks from restaurants and the beach. It is pristine, has a great area to relax on the back patio and under the pergola. This was perfect for our family of 6. We would definitely rent again.

This home is absolutely beautiful. The house is gorgeous, very spacious and in a central location. The home is on a quiet street in a very safe neighborhood. You can walk to the main drag in Encinitas to check out the many restaurants and shops. Several beaches are very close by in Encinitas and in either direction north or south to Carlsbad and other locations. There are grocery stores and other amenities nearby you can frequent if needed. Also easy to access the I-5 freeway for exploring San Diego and the rest of the region. The house is one of the nicest AirBnb's I've stayed in. Very well appointed in all areas of the house. The kitchen is very nice and you even have All Clad cookware and an entire drawer of spices. Not often you get these amenities. We particularly loved the two remote control fireplaces. Several TV's in the rooms and living room as well. It has a nice backyard which is great for pets and has plenty of seating areas.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. The backyard was great for our dog. The location was perfect to get to all the restaurants downtown, and really close to an awesome dog park. The house itself was full of charm. My wife sat with her feet by the fireplace every night.

This Encinitas house was lovely and exactly as described. My husband and I stayed for 6 nights and enjoyed both the inside and outside areas. The outside areas are beautiful and include a fenced backyard that was great for getting our dog outside easily. The house and its furniture were comfortable and relaxing; we loved the gas fireplaces in the living room and the master as it was cooler during our stay. The kitchen was well equipped. And Encinitas was a fun beach town location for exploring La Jolla and Torrey Pines, as well as Carlsbad and Oceanside.

The house was very clean, beautifully decorated and had a nice layout. The backyard was beautiful and felt very private. The management group was very responsive when we asked a couple questions and proactively reached out to us to make sure everything was ok. We were able to walk to shops and restaurants, which was great. Just know that you are walking on a street without a sidewalk and there is a steep hill on the way back.

Our stay in Encinitas was amazing! We could walk to town and the beach. There were plenty of dog friendly restaurants to choose from as well. The backyard is beautiful and was perfect for our dog. Although we didn't cook, the kitchen was very well stocked. Having a driveway to park our car was very nice. We would definitely stay again if we ever come back!

Fantastic home in a great Encinitas neighborhood. Fairly close to Encinitas' main drag. Master bedroom with walk in closet, private deck, and fireplace. Bedrooms #2 and 3 are a sleeper couch and Murphy bed respectively. All bedrooms look out over the backyard and partial (distant) ocean views. Great kitchen with All Clad cookware (get ready to learn induction cooking, which turned out to be pretty responsive). Window over the sink looks over the back yard, which is nice. Managed to pull of a great Thanksgiving meal. Absolute top of the line communication from the hosts/managers. Always quick and helpful.

It was great until we noticed a leak under the bathroom sink. The property manager contacted a plumber & he came out quite late in the evening & it turned out the water heater had gone out. So no hot water in evening & next AM while new water heater was being installed. A bit of a disruption to our last days at the property! Other than that it was lovely!

Everything was perfect except for 2 things, the pull out sleeper was very noisy to sleep on and due to the high heat during our stay and the unit not having A/C it was hard to sleep even with the windows open and the fans on.

Walking distance to the beach and the Encinitas "strip" of restaurants and shopping. Really nice outdoor spaces; a table on the deck, benches by a fire pit, a deck off the primary bedroom, and superb landscaping. Beds in the primary, a pullout bed in the 3rd BR, and a sleepable couch.

Very nice quality property, furnishings and features. Good size kitchen, lovely outdoor seating areas. The property manager was very responsive and helpful. The master bedroom was most comfortable and well appointed. The beds in the other 2 rooms were very tight to get in and out of. Would recommend this property. Not happy with VRBO because they would not honor my One Key Cash credits I’ve accumulated from prior VRBO rentals because they said the owner of this property doesn’t allow that. But the management of this property said that is not true— VRBO is responsible. Unresolved.
