Encinitas Short Term Rental Permit #RNTL-007098-2016.

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 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 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. There is Coaster train access to Solana Beach, Old Town and downtown San Diego is only 2 miles away in downtown Old Encinitas.

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!

Great place to unwind and enjoy ocean breeze.
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!

Great Location!
We loved our 5 week stay at this little place perfectly located between Beacons and Grandview beaches. It's a great neighborhood with restaurants, surf shops, a USPS post office, and small grocery market all within a few blocks. Walking our dogs to Beacons to watch the sunset became one of our favorite evening activities. Bob and Sheryl are great. Sheryl greeted us upon arrival and gave us a quick tour. They are both very conscientious about giving their guests privacy. We hardly saw them unless we needed something and then they were immediately available. The apartment is small but the space is efficient. There was plenty of storage space for our things (2 large closets and lots of empty drawers). I appreciated that the bathroom was roomy with a nice shower/tub combo and lots of counter space. The outdoor space is big enough to have friends over and was our favorite place to hang out with our pets. The outdoor kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals. It was a treat to have access to the extra upstairs balcony with a dining table for 4 and a fantastic view of the sunsets. A friend came to stay with us for a weekend and said that the pull out sofa was very comfortable. If you are looking for a comfortable place to stay with great access to two surf beaches we highly recommend Bob and Sheryl's place.

Leucadia Beach Retreat
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!

Great location and wonderful hosts!
Sheryl and Bob were wonderful hosts. They are warm, kind and super helpful while being extremely respectful of our privacy. The unit is in an amazing location - walking distance to Beacon's and Grandview beaches which are great surfing spots. It's also biking distance to Moonlight and Ponto Beaches which are a bit more roomy for family fun in the sand. There are tons of great cafes and restaurants within walking distance and a small super market that's practically next door, selling local produce and essentials. The place has a nice and quiet bedroom; living room with a comfy pull out couch. There's an outdoor kitchen with access to an ocean view deck. It's a great a great place to socialize while preparing meals outside in perfect summer weather, with a myriad humming birds and butterflies visiting the garden. The kitchen's well stocked w/ everything you could need on vacation. We stayed for 6 weeks w/ 2 elementary school age kids. It is a bit small, but manageable, for such an extended stay w/ a family (our kids definitely started missing their room and yard towards the end). However, I would highly recommend it for a shorter family stay or a stay of any length for a couple or a single person.
