Fantastic spot in the heart of So Cal surfer country. Walk to see the sun set over the ocean at Beacon's beach, or even closer, Orpheus Park. Or just stay in the magical backyard in the evening as the twinkling solar lights come on. My 5-day stay with my pup could not have been better. Kara was a very responsive host and there were special touches throughout, including some delicious chocolates. The beach, restaurants, the freeway are all super close. And yet the space is very quiet and peaceful. Perfect.
Great stay in this lovely spot in a nice neighborhood close to Encinitas/Leucadia restaurants. Our host was attentive and made sure we had all we needed, supplying the place with little extras and ensuring it was clean and tidy. The tree-filled back yard is a welcomed quiet oasis in an otherwise busy area. Highly recommend.
Kara, was great. The place was cozy with a beautiful back yard for my pup to safely explore. Very thoughtful attention to detail with beach gear, and various snacks and drinks provided, (I only ate the chocolate bar). It was wonderful.
Exactly as advertised. The personal touches ny Kara were much appreciated! This property is in a quiet neighborhood. Perfect spot to access the city of Encinitas and the beach. We highly recommend the Tree House!
The Tropical Treehouse of Love was such a treat. The location is superb. Kara, the host, is delightful, and the patio and backyard... Perfection. I highly recommend.
We absolutely loved our experience at the treehouse. Kara was an excellent host. The Gardens were beautiful and very well maintained. The extra touches were very nice snacks, beach, chairs, umbrellas etc. Highly recommend this property and hope to come back and stay here again.
I had a wonderful stay at the Tropical Treehouse of Love in Leucadia! Kara's place was cute, clean, and comfy, and the location was great. She was the perfect host and made everything easy; she even left a few treats for my pup, Max. I would definitely stay there again and also recommend to friends and family.
Kara was a great communicator throughout our stay (including pre/post) and we couldn't have asked for a better host! She has a lovely backyard spot with easy access to Encinitas (3-4 min drive). We were greeted with little snacks and beverages which was much appreciated after a long drive. We would absolutely return on a heart beat. Very much appreciated the hospitality and accomodations. 10 Star over 5 stars.

Loni, that is so nice to hear! Come back anytime!! :)
The property was just as described and the host was excellent with little welcoming amenities. Beautiful backyard to enjoy time away and then nestle into a home of warmth and charm. What a neat community and we received some great recommendations from the host on what to do and see. Thank you!
Kara was a most gracious host. Checking in every so often to see if I needed anything. Easy access, amenities, quiet neighborhood! Would totally stay there again.

Thanks Julie. Would love to have you back anytime! Glad you loved it. xo
Kara is absolutely incredible! One of the best most relaxing spots! Great location, super clean and cozy. Kara is so welcoming and helpful. Thank you for everything!
Kara is so helpful and communication is great and easy. All the details are well thought out, the yard is glorious and town and beach is easily walkable. We will be back!
A great little in-law unit in a lovely neighborhood! Stayed here over three nights while visiting our daughter who lives nearby. Location is central, near everything. Everything was clean and we had all we needed. Nice touches including plenty of towels, coffee, and waters. Thank you for a lovely stay!
great location, beautiful private surroundings, very thoughtfully appointed studio. No downside here, crazy comfortable and beautiful. Highest of recommendation.
My husband and I along with our two very tiny Chihuahuas found this guest house quite comfortable. It was a perfect space and private access to the backyard was awesome for our pets. Thank you, Kara for the drinks in the fridge.
The neighborhood was very nice and quiet and the private entrance to the guest house was a plus. Very comfortable and cozy.
My siblings and I stayed here for a couple nights. We absolutely loved it! Space is so well done, clean and has everything you would need. Backyard is fantastic! The location was perfect and the bed and couch were very comfortable. Kara is a wonderful person and fantastically communicator. I would highly recommend this spot. I hope to be back next year!
The interior lodgings are great, but it’s the setting that elevates it to ‘special.’ The garden is expansive, beautiful, peaceful. We brought our blind dog and he was beside himself. He had a better trip than we did.

That's so wonderful to hear, thank you. I am really happy the pup had a great time. It's a little slice of Hawaii/Bali here in Leucadia. Come back with him anytime.
This was better than advertised, cozy, comfortable, and homey. Kara is very responsive and checked in with us to make sure everything was up to par. Thank you for the accommodations.

About the host
Hosted by Kara Watkins
My name is Kara Watkins and we are raising our three young boys here in Leucadia, CA. We are always at the beach playing in the sand or in the waves. I am from Northern CA (Santa Cruz) but I have lived in San Diego 20 years now. Leucadia is a wonderful laid back surf town with epic world class waves. There are a ton of great places to dine and visit while in Leucadia/Encinitas/Cardiff and I am happy to give you all my favorites. If you like live music, hit the Belly Up, one of my favorite local venues. I am a local realtor specializing in beach communities along the Coast of San Diego and I am SO proud to call Leucadia "home".
Why they chose this property
It's a little slice of Hawaii and Bali right here in Encinitas/Leucadia. Very private tropical setting and walking distance to town and the beach. This is what relaxing is all about.
