“We had the most amazing time in Cindy's beautiful Carlsbad home! Our kids LOVED the pool and waterslide, and we enjoyed watching them while we relaxed in the hot tub or around the fire pit. The pictures tell the story--this place is unbelievable! ”

YOUR DREAM CALIFORNIA FAMILY HOME SLEEPS 8 + WITH PRIVATE RESORT STYLE POOL & SPA CLOSE TO BEACH, SHOPPING, RESTAURANTS, AND POPULAR THEME PARKS
This gorgeous five bedroom three bath home is beautifully open and set up for fun and relaxation situated in a quiet, safe coastal neighbourhood. The downstairs master bedroom with ensuite has French doors that open to a brand new private oasis including large swimming pool, spa, fire pit, BBQ, and al fresco dining.
This solar heated swimming pool stays warm all day and night, +86 F (+30 C). Kids and adults will have hours of fun on the long water slide, 8 person spa with waterfall, and giant jumping rocks. We have a safety fence available to install for families with small children. The downstairs office has a new computer, record player, and new piano for music fun.
Upstairs are three bedrooms. Bedroom 1 has queen bed with its own balcony with table and chairs, cable TV & DVD. Bedroom 2 queen bed with window overlooking backyard pool & spa area. Bedroom 3 has one twin, one toddler bed and a children's art area. Each of the rooms has new sheets and is thoughtfully decorated in California coastal style with a mix of new and eclectic vintage furniture.
The fully stocked kitchen opens to a dining table that seats up to eight. For open air dining eat at the outside patio table or large seating area surrounding the gas fire pit. Take advantage of our fresh vegetable and herb garden just outside the kitchen for gourmet cooking at home, or use outdoor BBQ to grill fresh meats from local shops or farmer's markets.
Encinitas is a delightful San Diego coastal community with beautiful beaches. Our family lived in Australia for four years and settled here on our return because the area reminded us of the smaller laid back beach communities we had come to love.
10 minutes to Legoland, Seaworld 30 min, Disneyland 1 hour, San Diego city center 35 mins. After a day at the theme park or beach, come home to swim, put the kids to bed, and relax in the heated spa....
Many surfboards, body boards, wetsuits, bicycles, available for outdoor fun. For the foodie in you, Encinitas has many tasty restaurants, pubs, and wine bars. We can even leave names of reliable babysitters if mom and dad need a night out.
Excellent shopping minutes away including Anthropologie, JCREW, Free People, H&M, and more. Carlsbad outlets are a short 10 min drive.
Excellent surf ing, swimming, and tanning beaches are a 8 minute drive. Or take the bikes for a 20 minute ride past a beautiful lagoon to lovely Ponto Beach, a frequent spot for dolphin watching.
Upscale creature comforts including WiFi internet access throughout the home, upstairs and downstairs air conditioning (rarely needed), cable internet connected TV with unlimited Netflix movies.
Our family has lived and visited many places and look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and exchanging homes. We will look after your home as we would our own, we will share our fun local knowledge to help you have the very best California holiday.

“Cindy's home was amazing and communication was super easy. She went out of her way to make sure our family was comfortable and had a great stay. The home was clean, comfortable, stylish and relaxing and the outdoor area was incredible. We had a fantastic time and would swap again in the future. ”
“This property is ideal for families to explore the wider area with many places of interest less than an hours drive away. We had been to the area in the past though so did use Cindy's house as a chillout retreat over the 6 days we were there. The outdoor area is fabulous with BBQ area, firepit, lounge and dinning room area around the heated pool which is complete with hot tub and water slide. Local bars and restaurants 5 mins drive away, many many mare down by the coast 15 mins away. Cindy was easy to communicate with, the house is a delight and was clean, the bends comfortable. The home made jam Cindy left for us in the fridge was delicious! ”
“Our family had a great time staying at Cindy's lovely home in Carlsbad. We enjoyed the pool, spa and fire pit. The kids especially loved the slide. Spacious home, tastefully decorated with plenty of room for the entire family. Cindy was easy to communicate with. Overall an excellent experience.”
“Nous avons passé d'excellentes vacances dans la villa de Cindy et Derek qui est très agréable. Nous sommes ravis d'avoir fait la connaissance de Cindy et Derek dans le cadre de cet échange réussi.”
“Cindy and her family were great guests in our Seattle home. They cleaned well before departure and read all the house information before arrival. Communication was very good. I would gladly host the family again.”
