The space was very clean, bright and welcoming. Everything was very comfortable and well appointed. We loved the walkability of everything including the short walk to the sunset viewing point on H Street. The neighborhood was very quiet and felt very safe.
This is a great place. It has an open floor plan and is very light and cheery. We stayed for 5 weeks and it was mostly quiet and it sits on a very low traffic area.
We thoroughly enjoyed the location and the property itself. Would absolutely stay there again.

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend a few relaxing days
Really enjoyed our stay in the BeachHaus Sunset Suite. If you don’t mind climbing some stairs to get there, you won’t be disappointed - the ocean view from the balcony was beautiful an unexpectedly, there were also great views from all directions. Communication was great, everything we needed was provided, the beds were comfortable, and the house itself was spacious, clean, and well maintained. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend a few relaxing days. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing time during our stay at the Sunset Suite. The communication was above and beyond and everything we needed was provided. The sunset from the balcony was beautiful and the walk to the beach everyday was easy. We were just a quick walk away from shops and places to eat. We can’t recommend this place enough and will definitely be back.
This rental was even better than described. Spacious with 2 wonderful balconies in the front and rear of the unit. Perfect for a family and on a quiet street.
Located by Moonlight Beach and downtown Encinitias, this bright and open space was the perfect spot fo for our family. Layout flows well and the space is perfect for reading, movie nights, etc. Quick leap a block away for sunset views!
The pictures don’t do this property justice. It’s more spacious than it appears, and while older, it’s an amazing location with great amenities. A few minor details needed updating (outdoor cushions, etc), but we loved our stay and can’t wait to visit back. The host was more than accommodating with our needs for our toddler, early check in, and check out. Highly recommend!

Fantastic!
We love staying at Sunset Suite for its location and convenience to restaurants and shopping. The owners provided everything you could possible need and more. The apartment is clean and comfortable which made our stay enjoyable. We look forward to staying there again in the future when we visit our daughter.
We absolutely loved staying here! The location is fantastic, walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in Encinitas, and from the porch, we could see the sunset, and almost every time of the day we had great ocean breezes! We never had to use the air conditioning and it was peak summer time. The decor is so colorful and vibrant and cheerful, and the house was impeccable clean. The beds were super comfy too.. We will definitely stay here again, thank you!

Another A-Mazing summer retreat with the fam!
Our stay was once again the best ever! This was our second stay in the suit and my kids absolutely LOVED it. We stayed here back in 2021 and my little girl calls it “our beach house”. My son is already planning our next stay. This place is cozy, cute, and walking distance to everything. We will see you next year for our fall break!
Amazing location with views of ocean and wonderful areas to hang out inside and outside. Beds were very comfortable, bathrooms updated, plenty of towels and kitchen supplies, and entire place was spotless. Easy walk to restaurants, stores, and beaches. Coaster train whistle starts early morning but any property along the coast would be within earshot. Brenda was a terrific host!

We loved the Sunset Suite and can't wait to visit again!
This is one of the best rental experiences we have had! The location was amazing...views of the ocean, close to restaurants, surfing, and everything else we wanted. The property was in excellent shape and very comfortable for our family of 3. The quiet neighborhood was relaxing for our vacation, and sitting on the deck for an afternoon read, and an evening cocktail was wonderful. We loved our stay here and would move in for longer if we could. Thanks for making it all so easy and organized, and for providing such a great vacation rental. We will be back in the future and will reach out to beachhaus!

Perfect Beach House in Encinitas
This was our first time staying in Encinitas and we were so happy we chose to stay at the Sunset Suite property. The house is beautifully decorated. It was the ideal layout, setup, and amenities for our stay with our two teenage daughters. The house is a quick walk to the D Street beach entrance, plus a short walk to lots of awesome food options. We had planned to venture out of town to San Diego and other beaches, but we ended up spending all of our time in Encinitas (and Cardiff) because we loved everything close to the house. We usually travel to new places for family trips, but everyone loved this stay so much that we're planning to come back next summer for a repeat of this awesome stay.
My daughter left some clothes in the bathroom and we got a message quickly from the team saying that we could go retrieve the items or offered to mail them to us. Luckily, we were still close to the house and were able to go back and get the items. I really appreciated that!
We had an excellent stay at this home. It is spacious, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully furnished with high-quality pieces throughout. The amenities were excellent, and everything was very well organized and easy to navigate.The bedding was especially comfortable, which made for great nights of sleep. Communication with the host was prompt and clear from start to finish. The location is also ideal. We particularly enjoyed the decks on both sides of the home — perfect spots to watch the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening.We would absolutely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends.
Excellent location a short walk from Encinitas restaurants and shops, walkable to D St and Moonlight beaches. Great decor and very responsive host. Highly recommended!
Excellent location! We loved the happy colors inside and out. It brightened our stay, especially with cloudy weather. The porch swing was so relaxing and the back balcony had a wonderful view of town. Great to be able to do laundry too. Everything we needed was available and explainable. Many thanks to Sunset Suite!!
This house hit all the spots - great location, super clean & organized, all the amenities available (and more - baby items that we didn’t have travel with!), great communication with host, and with two kids we felt extremely safe and secure! Thank you BeachHaus & Encinitas for a wonderful and memorable family vacation.
Our stay here was amazing! We loved it. It is walking distance to everything. The place was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials. The front porch swing was my favorite! I hope we can come back soon. Brenda was very accommodating with things we needed for the baby. Couldn't be happier with our decision to stay here. Perfect weekend!
