Surfhouse Boutique Hotel

We WILL be back. The location is everything. It’s next to the beach, it’s next to Coffee coffee which was our breakfast and coffee every morning. Having access to the wetsuits, surfboards, boogie boards was so convenient. kids loved it. Would also be great as a couples stay that appreciate getting out in the sun or to the beach.

You can’t beat the location! Such easy access to all the fun shops and local life and quick access to the beach. The complimentary bikes were a highlight! The only con is the train being so close and occasionally loud at night, but it never woke me up.

I loved staying here! The rooms are super cute and a great size. The location is awesome, you are on a very cool street with a bunch of fun, walkable restaurants. Short walk to beach. There’s no front desk, but the hotel is very responsive via text! I ended up staying additional night and they let me stay in one room until I could move into another- which was very kind and an example of service that goes above and beyond! The street can be a little loud due to the restaurants and railroad, but it does eventually quiet down and it didn’t bother me much.

If you’re thinking of visiting Encinitas, you should seriously consider staying the Surfhouse Boutique Hotel. My wife and I stayed here for four nights and we had the most amazing time and we were extremely sad to leave. The room was perfect, with a very comfortable bed, a mini fridge and a big walk-in shower with plenty of hot water after a surf in the cold winter water. Fresh towels are provided each day and housekeeping do a fantastic job. The owner/manager Nikki is an absolute legend and one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. He took me surfing twice and even let me use his boards and a wetsuit. I had a fantastic time listening to him and all his local knowledge about the surf and general information of the area. He also took me to a few great surf breaks which I would never have found on my own. The Surfhouse is only a three minute walk to Beacons Beach which is a nice place to surf for those looking for a mellow kinda wave. Also there are plenty of great places to eat within a few minutes walk from the Surfhouse. The rates are completely reasonable and you can bet your bottom dollar we will be back there again sometime for another four nights. Thank you Nikki and thank you Surfhouse for making our stay so memorable.

This is our 2nd time staying at Surfhouse and we love it! The place was super cute and had a nice beach surfer vibe. We could walk to coffee shops, breweries, wine bars, restaurants, and the beach. They also give discounts at places for staying at Surfhouse. The bunkhouse room is perfect for a family, each bunk had an outlet and a little cubby to put your phone/earbuds etc/ and a small reading light! I highly recommend staying here when in town!

Just stayed here for a few days with a friend and absolutely loved it!!! The room was clean, the perfect size for 2 people, and we had everything we needed. This is an amazing spot- the beach is a short walk up the street and there are a ton of great places to eat within very short walking distance. The hotel is just as nice as pictured on the website. We felt very comfortable walking around the surrounding area. I would recommend to anyone looking for a chill, comfortable place to stay with a short drive to many other great San Diego locations.

This is NOT a boutique hotel. There is no one to check you in. It's all via email. I should have left when I saw the ear plugs on the desk. This place is loud! Trains with their horns blaring as they pass by. 4 in one 90-minute stretch after 9pm. Cars on the road just outside and conversations from the parking lot and bars. The room is cold and spars. The bed is just ordinary. The beach is not close. I can't understand how anyone could stay here more than one night. It's clean, though.

Cute little hotel (motel?) in the heart of Leucadia (Encinitas neighbourhood).||Pros:|Location! Super cute little community with a very "small town feel." Easy walk to morning coffee and breakfast. A great taproom, some shops and restaurants are also right nearby. You're a 5 minute bike ride into the main strip of Encinitas and a 5 minute walk to a very quiet beach.||Room decor. Very modern, clean, well thought out. Comfortable beds.||Amenities. Free bikes, reasonable surf equipment rentals/lessons, discounts at nearby shops - all very thoughtful and practical.||Parking is free and onsite.||Cons:|Water temp in the shower. Not sure if this is every room, but we stayed in the room with 2 twin beds and it was a cold shower. Don't think heater is working properly.||Some broken things in the room - shutters - little wand to close the shutters was being held on with tape and wouldn't fully close them; one lamp had a broken switch and didn't work. Merch website also doesn't work.||The trains. The track is literally across the street. We stayed on a Friday and both commuter and freight train horns honked every 10-15 until about 1am. Room has a sound machine, hides the rumble but not the horn.||Soundproofing - can hear a fare bit from the neighbours.||No ear plugs were provided.||If you're a light sleeper, this ain't your place.||Overall:|For the price, the hotel is a gem! Don't think you can get much closer to the beach with a hotel in this town and it's in a great neighborhood. Just note the cold shower and train horn.
