We truly loved our stay at this bed and breakfast. The hospitality was exceptional from the moment we arrived—the host was warm, welcoming, and made us feel completely at home. The breakfast was delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and the rooms were both comfortable and beautifully designed. Each room felt intentional and unique, inspired by the elements, which added a special and memorable touch to the experience. Ours was the Air room, and it had a little balcony with a hammock. Also, there was a shower in the middle of the room which is unique. There is also a sauna and a hot tub outside. One of our favorite features was the rooftop patio—it’s wonderfully set up with a cozy fire pit and tables, making it an ideal space for a small gathering, celebration, or intimate event. You can also book wellness appointments like massages, which my husband and I did and it was amazing. Highly recommend! The location of the home is great. You are about a 5 minute drive away from the beaches and the historic 101 highway, which is ideal for a nice scenic drive and many shops and restaurants along the way to explore. Overall, this place is a perfect blend of comfort, creativity, and genuine care, and we can’t wait to return. Thank you to the 12 Senses staff for the exceptional experience 😊

Encinitas still has the charm of a small beach town.

Encinitas still has the charm of a small beach town. Fun to watch the surfers. There is are antique shops & fresh produce markets. One can even go meditate at the Self-Realization Fellowship Centre in their glorious gardens. We had excellent pizza within walking distance of the Leucadia Beach Inn. What a fantastic place to stay!

Didn't get chance to explore Encinitas as much as other areas along the coast. Driving through it didn't appear as attractive as Oceanside or Carlsbad. Blogs to follow on towns in future. They stay at Cardiff-by-the-sea was superb. We ate at Pacific Coast Grill which was excellent, you may need to book in advance as seemed popular. We managed to get a table at the bar walking in.

I spent 4 days at Encinitas with my kids. It is a lovely beach town and we could have spent many more days discovering the various beaches and restaurants. We enjoyed walking around Encinitas. On our next trip we will even try the train which takes you to Solana beach in just 6 minutes.

Small southern California beach town without all the touristy extras. Lots of traffic on narrow streets with one main highway (Interstate 5) and one commuter train running through the town. Folks are friendly. Businesses are small. Great shallow, sandy beaches. Visit Ki's on the beach for fabulous food at great prices with a view of the sand and water. Very, very casual. The town has a great library facility and senior center.

Our third family trip to Encinitas, a charming beach town, was a delightful experience. Its quiet and walkable streets made it an ideal destination for a family vacation. We cycled along Neptun Avenue and relaxed on the beach near the Stone Steps. The town boasts a variety of great restaurants and coffee shops. We highly recommend Atelier-Mannana and Leu Leu, but be sure to book in advance! Herb and Sea is another must-try.

I love everything about Encinitas.

I love everything about Encinitas. It is one of the spots where you can go and feel like a local even if your not. I have stayed at the 12 Senses Retreat which was super cool with their nature themed rooms and the amazing hostess. And it is just up the road from Swammi's Beach and the Self Relization Center, which is gorgeous. I have stayed at Brisas Pacific Hotel which was super affordable and a few minutes walk to the beach. You can pretty much walk everywhere in Encinitas. I plan to move there myself soon :)

The room was nice and clean. The size of room was good for our family of 4. The hotel had laundry facilities which was helpful since we were on a longer vacation. The breakfast was fine but they should have got some variety on different days. We got bored eating the same breakfast everyday. It wasn't far from the beach and was 7 to 8 minutes drive to the beach
