About the host

Hosted by Yellow Door Beach House - Tracy Ades

Host profile image
Originally from Los Angeles and now proud to call San Diego home, I’m a devoted mother, wife, and passionate real estate investor with a love for creating beautiful, comfortable spaces that bring people together. Designing and hosting our Carlsbad home has been one of my greatest joys — it reflects everything I value about Southern California living: relaxed luxury, ocean air, and time spent with family. I’m passionate about crafting memorable stays where guests can truly unwind, feel inspired, and experience the charm of the coast. I love exploring new foods, discovering hidden local gems, and traveling with my family — though I prefer my adventures without too much adrenaline! From sunrise walks along the beach to golden sunsets over the water, this area embodies the balance of beauty and peace I hope every guest feels when they stay here. It’s a privilege to share this special space and help others create lasting memories in Encinitas.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because Encinitas captures the true heart of Southern California’s coastal lifestyle — creative, relaxed, and full of character. It’s the kind of place where you can grab a smoothie after a morning surf, stroll to locally owned restaurants and coffee shops, and watch unforgettable sunsets at Beacons Beach. Unlike busier beach towns, Leucadia has a laid-back charm that feels authentic and welcoming, with friendly locals, tree-lined streets, and an artistic energy that makes every walk around the neighborhood enjoyable. Its central Encinitas location makes it easy to explore the best of North County — from coastal trails and tide pools to vibrant shops and live music. We fell in love with the mix of beach-town simplicity and modern comfort, and we wanted to create a space that reflects that same easygoing beauty, perfect for relaxing, recharging, and feeling at home by the ocean.

What makes this property unique

What makes this Encinitas beach house unique is its effortless blend of coastal style, comfort, and location. Nestled in one of Encinitas’ most sought-after neighborhoods, the home is just minutes from the sand at Beacons Beach, top-rated restaurants, boutique coffee shops, and the laid-back surf culture that makes Leucadia so special. Inside, the bright open layout features a modern kitchen, comfortable living space, and thoughtfully designed bedrooms that invite relaxation after a day in the sun. The private patio is perfect for morning coffee or evening wine under the stars. Every detail — from the coastal décor to the curated amenities — was created to give guests the true Southern California experience. Whether you’re here to surf, explore local shops, or simply unwind near the ocean, this home captures the relaxed luxury and beach-town charm that make Leucadia one of San Diego’s most beloved coastal destinations.
