I absolutely love this hidden gem for a staycation. Very pet friendly, my dog always loves staying in these rooms for some reason. The food offered here is excellent and there is an Aldis close by for your food essentials. Every stay you can hit a bucket of balls and paddleboard and free bike rentals. You are a lovely 20 minute drive to Encinitas, a delightful beach town.
