I loved Surfhouse and will stay again. The rooms are clean and well laid out with a beautiful bathroom, simple desk and everything I needed for a four night stay. Two outdoor areas for hanging out with friends worked for an outdoor office for me. Location is the best in Encinitas.

The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and the beach. The room was very clean and the bed was super comfortable.

I was a little worried about the train noise- they go by often and blow their horns- but with the provided white noise machine, I wasn’t bothered at all.

Convenient walking distance to coffee shops for brunch and shopping. It is just a few blocks away from Beacon’s. The beds were the best I’ve slept in away from home. And lastly the shower amazing, I took long ones every day!

Wouldn’t change a thing!
