Dec 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The Leucadia Beach Grotto was a great find in this quaint seaside town. The private enclosed yard was perfect for relaxing by the pool and very dog friendly! I appreciated our host, Jason, welcomed our little pup with a bowl of water and dog biscuit. The place was super clean and the Keurig coffee machine with pods was an added bonus. The secure off street parking was also nice in an area where parking can be limited. Jason was super responsive to messages and informative about the area. I’ll definitely be back when in the area again. ##### Michelle S.

The place was extremely clean and approachable. having our own pool and space was amazing. The walk to the beach is a little longer than expected. However, it was great to get a lot of walking in the warm weather. Thank you Jason! Great Job! ##### Christian T. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danica W. Dec 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean, Convenient Location We had an good experience staying at this property. The property was very clean, exactly as described, and met our expectations. The neighborhood is walkable and is a quick drive to restaurants and shops. Jason provided a water bowl and a cushion for our dog, which was very thoughtful, and there is a small turf area for dog potty breaks. The owner was incredibly responsive and provided clear instructions for self-check-in and checkout, which made the process stress-free. I recommend this place to anyone traveling with pets or looking for a clean and convenient vacation rental! ##### Danica W. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas P.

The Grotto had everything we needed and Jason the host was very welcoming and responsive. It was close to all kinds of restaurants and within a short drive of dog beach in Del Mar. The weather was exactly what we were looking for, an escape from the Arizona heat. We will definitely rebook this one. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/712c2c14-619e-4e15-9cfc-12be257a5b61-1752268477608.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0260a44c-18e5-4a7c-ad99-b782a0147389-1752268484123.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Teresa H.
