A great time at a great place!

We've traveled all over the world and this Encinitas condo ranks up at the top of our favorite destinations. The condo was so nice our kids wanted to move in permanently -- really. Everything was clean, and well maintained and appointed. The kitchen had everything we needed, and more. We loved relaxing in the living room, which was beautiful, comfortable, and supplied with numerous boardgames to play. Each bedroom had sumptuous beds that, unlike so many places, had lots of support and bedding that made us want to stay there all day. There was also lots of closet room -- more even than our teenage daughter could fill.
The complex's grounds were great, too. The resort-like pool area features a knock-out ocean view and was a great place to kick back with kids or without. While swimming and relaxing we met a lot of exceptionally nice people, which also says a lot about a vacation spot. Everyone we met was warm and friendly.
The condo's location is also exceptional. It's just a short walk to a wonderful beach where we went bodysurfing and boogie boarding. It looked great for regular surfing, too. There were several lifeguard stations to make novice beach goers feel secure, showers and a rental place that offered food and beach equipment. The surf wasn't too big for our 5th grader, but enough to add a bit of excitement. We spent some amazing days just swimming and boogie boarding while we were there -- times we will treasure for a long time.
We also walked around the town of Encinitas, which is charming, filled with resturants and great shops, and is only minutes from the condo so you don't even have to get in your car. We really appreciated being able to leave our car in the garage at the condo and forget about driving. At the same time, San Diego was close enough that it didn't take long to get there when we were ready to make that trip.
All in all, we would certainly recommend this place to anyone and plan to return ourselves next summer.
