“I found this to be a particularly charming boutique property in Encinitas, a short walk to both the beach and local dining. The rooftop sundeck really stood out, perfect for enjoying the sunset, and I especially appreciated thoughtful touches like the vinyl records available for guest use. Free secure parking and friendly staff round out a very appealing experience.”
