Ranked by National Geographic as one of the best surf towns, Encinitas is a beach town situated in the North County area of San Diego County. It has some beautiful beaches as well as a 100-year-old shopping district downtown. Also renowned as the flower capital of the world, Encinitas has many nurseries and gardens, prominent among which is the San Diego Botanic Garden, which leads the world in the cultivation of poinsettias, the Christmas flower. Visit Self-Realization Fellowship, which has a serene location with koi ponds and meditation gardens, or watch a show in La Paloma theatre. You can also spend the day on the sand at iconic Swami’s, or the hip neighborhood hangout of Cardiff State Beach with its large lagoon.

You have a lot of accommodation choices when you visit this city, from guest suites to beachfront hotels. Here is a list of the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Encinitas, California.

Why Encinitas?

There are lots of outdoor opportunities with around 45 acres (18.21 hectares) of beaches and 40 miles (64.37 kilometers) of trails. You can even find off-leash dog parks such as Olympus Park Dog Park, Encinitas Viewpoint Park, and Orpheus Park to visit with your fur baby.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.
