A Perfect Retreat
Every few years I take a personal retreat for a time of solitude, reflection & prayer. I had saved this property in my VRBO sometime ago, and was so grateful to have finally enjoyed it! The home was clean, charming and LOADED with amenities! Location is perfect, as was the lush surroundings & wonderfully place skylights! One little perk worth mentioning, and to my great delight, is the water pressure in the shower, the heater within the shower room & the hot water that was plentiful! Maybe seems an odd detail to highlight, but not once you experience it! :) I’m so thankful for my time away from home, to enjoy in this beautiful getaway and getting the perfect space and time within luxury that I was hoping for! Thank you!

Beautiful Relaxing House in Amazing location
Loved everything about our stay. The kitchen is fully equipped/stocked for cooking although we chose to frequent the wonderful restaurants just around the corner. The yard and fireplace (although we didn’t have a fire) were so quaint. Inside common spaces were just as relaxing. Bed was comfy and there was plenty of closet space to unpack (which I love to do when staying for more than a couple days). Not to mention host was incredibly responsive and accommodating! Would definitely stay here again and again.

Great every time!
We love staying at Eric's PBC - The whole vibe of the place makes you relax instantly. It's full of light, even on cloudy days. He has stocked the kitchen with everything you need and more. All appliances are fabulous and everything is immaculately clean! Laundry right outside the back door. Juan the beautiful black lab is always ready with a welcome :) Neighborhood is quiet and convenient to everything. Thank you Eric

Wonderful stay!
We loved our stay at Pacific Palm Grove! The cottage and grounds were just beautiful...so well-designed, well-equipped and comfortable. And we so enjoyed walking in the historic neighborhood..such an eclectic array of homes with pretty gardens and foliage. Gorgeous beaches nearby too, and a lovely botanic garden. Great restaurants and cute shops in the area. Our host, Eric, was incredibly helpful and nice. We'd go back in a minute!

Perfect weekend getaway
My husband and I were very impressed with the cottage and felt extremely comfortable there, in fact we are already planning our return visit. The space was perfect for the 2 of us, but we may have felt crowded bringing the kids. The kitchen was top notch and Eric had 2 grills plus front yard and backyard seating/visiting areas. The town of Encinitas was so close, and we had a great time exploring the hangouts. Next visit needs to be a little longer!!

Love-Love-Love
We loved our stay, beginning to end! Our flight was canceled & Eric was kind & gracious enough to work with us to extend our stay by 2 days. The weather started out a little gloomy & chilly so we didn't get to use the outdoor spaces enough, but certainly will do next time. The shower is extra special & invigorating & the bed is super comfortable & the area was very quiet. I'm an insomniac & still managed to get some sleep here. The entire space was just lovely & we are already thinking about a trip back. Loved Encinitas, & Loved this little slice of paradise. Thank You Eric, Anne & Jaun!
