Stayed for three days to scuba dive and golf in the area. Also went to the local casino to play some poker. Great dining options nearby. The property itself had all the amenities I was needing. The owner was available at any time that I texted her with questions. It really felt like a hotel atmosphere but in an airbnb setting. Housekeeping and accommodations but private and comfortable. Rooftop area to sit and relax by a fire pit if desired. Breakfast menu made to order was delicious. On site free EV charging was a huge plus for my electric vehicle. Would definitely recommend and plan on staying again in the future.

The owner was very amenable and it was very comfortable. They charged me $60 a Night for my 10 year old terrier with no teeth who sleeps all day. I thought that was a little unreasonable.

Nice spot, good value vs. hotel chains
Was very nice. Didn’t spend much time there apart from sleeping but everything was very comfortable and well appointed. The included breakfast is a very nice touch.

I stayed in the Fire room at Twelve Senses Retreat for two nights with my husband and 8 year old child. We had a very lovely, comfortable stay. The room was very clean, and we loved the daily organic breakfasts and hot beverages served in the morning. The room is a great value for the luxurious amenities and delicious breakfast that is included. Our room had a cozy gas fireplace, and a private patio. I highly recommend this luxurious bed and breakfast when visiting the picturesque, coastal town of Encinitas. The host was very accommodating to our daughter, and I really appreciated the attentiveness to making our stay extra comfortable.

Beautiful stay
I stayed in the Earth room, and it was wonderful. Loved the large bathtub, bed and pillows were comfortable. The breakfast daily was phenomenal. Anke, the hostess was extremely hospitable, and helpful. Check-in and out was very easy. I would stay again, and recommend this hotel.

A beautiful place to relax and regenerate.
Twelve Senses is a true hidden gem. The attention to detail is amazing, from the complimentary Prosecco and home made cookies to the sustainable room elements and boutique design touches. The roof deck is lovely and fantastic breakfast is a wonderful addition to the stay. Best of all is the friendly owner Anke and her friend Meaghan who felt like long lost friends despite meeting them for the first time. All in all an awesome retreat to relax and recharge.

Comfortable room and patio that faces the parking lot; with a nice free breakfast. Fire room is next to main entrance which made it impossible to sleep in- you hear everyone who comes in and out. Entry is a bit confusing because there is no lobby or welcoming instructions. Nice roof deck for shared use.
