About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private, vintage, 2bd, 2ba, third acre lot, ocean views, amazing sunsets!

the Leucadia Place is available again!!

Welcome to Funky Leucadia where you are greeted with old north county vibes and new energy. the Leucadia Place is a bit of both as well. A quaint 2bed/2bath updated 1927 home perched on the hillside facing the pacific. No a/c but coastal breezes keep things fresh and cool with amazing sunsets!

Now with Autel EV Charging station!!!

the Leucadia Place is best for a couple with a child (or two) or a couple with a friend. Please look at the full description to see if the place suits you.

A rare and unique quality of this vacation rental is that IT IS dog/cat FRIENDLY and has no size restrictions. BUT please pay the pet fee and let me know so I can set up for your furry friend(s). If your fur-ball tears up things, it happens, but please be upfront and accommodate repairs/replacement of damages.

If it appears unavailable for part of your trip, though the calendar may appear blocked, the place could still be available, please ask. I travel often and also pace guests to ensure the best experience for all my arrivals but will open days up if available.

the Leucadia Place is west of interstate 5 and east of coast highway, on the hill facing the ocean. It is a perfect spot for a seasonal track rental or just weekend stay! Summer season is upon us so check the calendar and book early.

The home is just a short 8 miles north (10-15 min) from the Del Mar Race track so if you're looking to rent for the 2026 track season, ask ASAP. The dates may be pre-blocked for this opportunity so please reach out.

Don't waste your energy on a hotel when you can have your own little home, with all a home has to offer. No parking fees, no resort fees, no waiting in lines. Plenty of space for 2 cars behind the electric gate.

The primary bedroom has a nice, firm queen-size bed with en-suite bathroom and the secondary bedroom provides a twin-sized trundle bed with a firm trundle underneath as well. Second bathroom is in the hallway.

Two outdoor decks are great locations for afternoon lunches and evening sunsets.

The home is fully furnished with stocked full kitchen, full laundry and hypoallergenic body wash, shampoo and conditioner in the showers.

Pets are no problem; just be aware that with the size of the lot and the rural-ness surrounding property, skunks, opossums and raccoons have been seen from time to time.

The owner lives locally and can be available if anything arises.

Weekly/bi-weekly cleaning available upon request.

Close to world famous Torrey Pines Golf courses and La Costa Omni Spa and Resort Golf Courses.

We absolutely loved our stay here! Our host Jason was incredibly on top of things--from communicating well with us, to stocking the kitchen, to providing a thoughtful and well curated stay. The beds were very comfortable and the place had all the things we needed. The location was great as well, private but walkable to some good places to eat. The property itself is beautiful with lots of fruit trees. We will definitely be back to stay here when we are in town, and we would recommend this place to anyone else looking for a great little place in Leucadia!

This was one of my favorite VRBO stays yet, out of so many! Jason was a wonderful host, and made us feel welcome, and informed. He even provided dog bowls and a dog bed for our dog! The Leucadia place is one of a kind, right in the midst of a darling coastal town, yet so secluded feeling. The kitchen was perfectly outfitted for all the cooking we wanted to do, including grilling outside. The bed was very comfortable, with luxurious linens. My grandsons and dog loved having a place to run around and play, and we loved the ocean views and the fresh citrus for breakfast. We will definitely be back!

I've never walked into a cleaner short term rental! Jason was a warm and well organized host. The neighborhood is quiet and a short walk from Leucadia's drag of the coast highway--coffee shops, wood fired pizza, record stores, beach access. It's a timeless place, perfect for our weekend with two discerning teens.

We had such a wonderful stay! From the moment we arrived, our host made us feel completely welcome — even our dogs were spoiled with special treats! The backyard was perfect for them to run and play, and we loved picking fresh citrus to make orange juice in the mornings (the oranges were amazing!). The home was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. Thank you for being such a kind and thoughtful host — we would love to come back!

This spot is excellent! Jason was super attentive and helpful when needed. The location is perfect: walking distance to food and fun. The house was super clean, with enough comfort and supplies to last. Our dog had the zoomies around the property and passed out on the porch. We cannot wait to come back.

The property was wonderful. Once you drove through the gates, you enjoyed total peace and privacy. The house was comfortable and exceptionally clean. We didn’t need anything while we were there. Jason was a great communicator and answered all our needs. Our dog, Winnie, loved exploring the yard with the fruit trees and pathways.

This little beach house was the cutest and best property to stay at that we could’ve asked for! It made our first time in Encinitas all the better, especially for Beacon’s beach access and proximity to the cute town. I loved how welcoming the host was and the place was clean, secure, and dog friendly. Even had incredible fruit trees! There was nothing more we needed as far as amenities go. Thank you for such a positive experience that we’ll never forget!

Check in was so easy, Jason was an absolute dream. So so helpful and responsive! Waking up and seeing the ocean from the front door healed my soul. Loved the private parking behind the gate, and feeling like we had the whole place to ourself. Even picked a fresh grapefruit from the tree for breakfast! Would come back again and again!
