Located in charming Leucadia (a section of Encinitas, California), this very private vacation rental consists of a living room with comfortable queen-sized sofa sleeper and a closet, a nicely appointed bedroom and a beautiful bathroom, plus outdoor living areas and an OUTDOOR kitchen that have features our guests love.
From the living room, there are French doors that open to the only kitchen, which is OUTDOORS. There is also a door to a hallway that separates the living room, the bedroom and the bathroom, so both areas have complete privacy. The bedroom has French doors that open to the outdoor kitchen, too, so both the kitchen and living room with sofa bed can be separately accessed to and from the outdoor living and kitchen areas.
The outdoor kitchen is mostly "covered." This kitchen is well-equipped for almost any kind of cooking method: frying, baking, broiling, grilling, microwaving, crock-potting or doing things stovetop.
The outdoor, flagstone living area is bordered by flowers and artificial grass, frequented by hummingbirds and has an outdoor fireplace with hearth.
Your spaces are part of a residence and have a separate entrance. There are no stairs, except for the ones to your ocean-view deck. It is private and apart from the owners' quarters.
Enjoy warming around, lounging and dining by the fireplace with a outdoor wicker sectional and cushions. Or go up to your ocean-view deck and enjoy the sunset, work at the table or read a book. The kitchen counter area is all under cover, as is the granite breakfast bar that runs parallel to it. Dice at the counter, pour something from the refrigerator, scoop something from the freezer and serve at the bar. (Also next to the kitchen, there is a warm water rinse-off shower for after the beach!)
PETS ARE ALLOWED BUT MUST BE WELL-BEHAVED. If they have separation anxiety which results in howling, barking, chewing, wetting, etc., they cannot be left alone for more than one half hour. Thank you!
This quiet street has easy freeway access, walking distance to a grocery store, restaurants and shops. Several beach outlets available and within walking distance. This is a perfect place to begin and end a day if you venture out to do and see all that the San Diego area has to offer.

Could not have wished for more. Lovely place, between two of the most beautiful beaches in North San Diego. Sheryl and Bob have been amazing hosts. Highly recommended.
The place was great and quiet. Perfect for traveling with our 2 dogs. The host, Sheryl, was very communicative and helpful. Wish it was walking distance to the dog beach but Del Mar wasn’t a far drive.
We were very impressed with this lovely property! Close proximity to the beach and to downtown Leucadia. Many shops, delicious restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries. The hosts, Sheryl and Bob, were communicative and friendly. When in the area again, I will definitely put this at the top of my list of places to stay!
I had a great stay here this summer. The hosts are lovely and thoughtful, the place is comfy and low-maintenance, and the location is fabulous: one block from the beach, and one block from the main drag with great restaurants and shops.
If you’re looking for a beach getaway, you couldn’t do better….
Our stay was such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Sheryl and Bob have created an extremely welcoming space with a secluded patio surrounded by all types of florals and in walking distance to the ocean, restaurants, shops, bars, ect. We felt rested and rejuvenated following our stay and hope to return in the future!
Sheryl was great, she communicated quickly and even gave us some great recommendations for places to eat and go. The location was awesome and they had body boards and items to use at the beach.
Sheryl and Bob were incredible hosts and they offered an amazing stay. My girlfriend, dog, and I went down to Encinitas for a week to surf and couldn’t have asked for more. The bnb is very spacious with its layout and outdoor kitchen and was perfect for a little guy to run around and feel comfortable. Being on the ground floor allowed us to stay cool and the AC in the unit helped us moderate our temperature. The location of the unit couldn’t be beat - split right between Beacons and Grandview and less than a 10 min walk either way. Sheryl and Bob were also incredible to work with and super nice. If this unit was for rent I’d move right in lol. Couldn’t recommend this bnb enough - thanks Sheryl and Bob!
Listing accurately describes the property. The backyard is beautiful. Having private access to an upper deck was a plus (partial view of the Pacific). We enjoyed the backyard fireplace mornings and evenings. I was a bit anxious at the thought of an outdoor kitchen but it worked for us. Only a short walk on Neptune Avenue to two beach accesses (Beacon & Grandview). Off-street parking was a must for us. Peachy's Market (fresh produce), which we visited on a regular basis, was right down the street. Restaurants & coffee shops were within walking distance. Communication with Sheryl and Bob was easy. This was our first stay but we hope to be back again.
Bob and Sheryl are fabulous hosts! Beautiful outdoor space. Everything on the inside was comfortable, clean and cozy. We were worried about the outdoor kitchen space, however it was just fine. Well stocked and fun. Added a bit of adventure to the trip. We had our grandkids visit over the visit and having the outdoor space was very welcome. Location is perfect. We love walking on Neptune, quick walk to Peachy’s and Leucadia donuts! Of course also easy walk to all the 101 restaurants. We will be back!
I'm was very impressed with this property! It was well thought out and put together nicely. The people renting it were a lovely couple and very accommodating.

Dog friendly and easy beach accss
Loved the place I stayed at. Bob and Sheryl are so friendly and cater to your needs but also give you space. They also loved my pup Mumford and were so kind.
Couldn’t have asked for a better place. Sheryl was a gracious and thoughtful host. The place and garden was serene. The location was perfect for walking, dining and beach going. I would definitely stay again.
Great place and location. Just a short walk from the beach. Easy to get around Leucadia and Encinitas. Very neat and tidy place, the outdoor living area was just what we (and our dog!) needed.
Sheryl and Bob were very welcoming and nice! Thank you for letting us stay at your place!
We used this property to work, visit relatives, and enjoy nice ocean view walks. Sheryl is very communicative and responsive. Restaurants and groceries are walkable too. We will consider this location for future visits.
Owners on site, very accommodating. Small backyard with fireplace and comfortable seating. Fully equipped outdoor kitchen and BBQ.
Restaurants and beach are short walks. Sunsets at beach overlook are a must.
Loved our stay. Great location. one block from ocean. Apartment was clean and cozy. Outdoor space exceptional. Loved the gas fireplace and outdoor furniture. Outdoor kitchen worked well. Had everything we needed. Table and chairs inside was helpful on chilly mornings. Best of all Sheryl and Bob were wonderful hosts. We will be back.
We rented this updated Leucadia retreat during September while our Leucadia home remodel a block away was being finished. We had two busy adults and two teen boys, and one chill dog who loved to walk Neptune. The space and patio was good. The outdoor kitchen was sufficient for light cooking. Their gas grill with burner was excellent. The owners are warm, accommodating, and accessible. We love love love the location! We recommend this property.
