About this property

The Farmhouse, a Surf Cabin in sleepy beach town Encinitas

Welcome to Farmhouse Leucadia, a cabin inspired oasis by the beach!
This 2bd 2ba home is just a short 5 minute drive (10min bike ride or 25min walk) to Beacons, Ponto, Stonesteps or Moonlight surf spots. The cozy wood clad living room boasts tall ceilings and a welcoming fireplace. The galley kitchen is well lit by morning light with its 15' long skylight. Outdoor patios at both the front and back of the home to enjoy the ocean breezes! Make yourself at home for a long term stay!

The home is a single story ranch style house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The Master has a king sized bed with a full bath and sliding glass doors to the backyard, small seating area and an outdoor shower. The second has a queen size bed with vaulted wood ceilings and original wood shutters. Both bedrooms have TV's.

The living room has a brick wood burning fireplace. tall wood ceilings and large original windows. A small wooden writing desk and a cushion lounger allow additional spaces for working or reading. There is another bedroom with a twin bed off the kitchen on the way to the master bedroom. This room does not have a door and does not close off fully.

The dining room has a dining table that seats 4 (there is a leaf in the closet of the kitchen bedroom that allows the table to seat 6)

The galley kitchen has large skylights above, gas stove/oven, microwave, fridge and dishwasher. It is also where the washer/dryer are located.

Our home is near the I-5, great for getting around to all that San Diego has to offer, bad for noise. Please keep this in mind as this isn't ideal for those looking for total peace and quiet.

Heat:
The heater in our home is a floor heater in the common space which does not reach the Master bedroom. For the Master we provide a space heater which does heat the room quickly..

Air:
We have a standing A/C in the living room and portable fans for the bedrooms for the warmer months (August-Sept). Most of the year they are not necessary.

There is another small renal unit on the property though there are no shared spaces other than the driveway. Your space will be fully private.

This is not a luxury hotel stay. It is our home that we have opened up for guests. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

The Farmhouse was exactly what I was looking for. The location is perfect - easy access to the 5, quiet and safe neighborhood, and not far from the beach. The home is cozy and comfortable. Brittany was communicative and I will definitely look to stay here again when I am in SoCal.

Amazing Property!!!

We had the most amazing stay at the Farmhouse! It was perfect for my family of 5 plus our dogs. The host was extremely communicative and would respond to my messages rather quickly. The beds were incredibly comfortable, everything was VERY clean, and the backyard was a dream!!! Super close to the beach and all of the lovely restaurants/shops in Leucadia. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!!

Fabulous property! An old-fashioned farmhouse w/ all the luxurious amenities of modern day. We picnicked on the backyard table. The outdoor shower came in handy .Directions were clear, concise and easy to follow. The one-page guide was helpful and current. Lots of great restaurants nearby. We visited the Botanical Gardens and the Meditation Garden. Will definitely visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Brittany Guarino

Host profile image
Miles and Brittany are originally from New England. They met in college in Savannah Georgia, lived briefly in North Carolina, and have called San Diego home for over a decade. Finding the relaxing and dreamy vibe of Encinitas the best place to call home, they have settled here to raise their family and welcome you to come and experience this SoCal beach town for yourself!

Why they chose this property

The Leucadia neighborhood of Encinitas is both peaceful and full of life. From the long coast line of dreamy beaches to the lush garden streets there's something here for everyone. Miles enjoys the surf while Brittany enjoys the restaurants and cafes.

What makes this property unique

The Farmhouse was built in 1942 making it one of the oldest homes on the street. With almost so if the original architectural details maintained it has all of the charm of a California style cabin home but resides in the beach community of Encinitas.

This was our home for many years, we have amazing memories here and we can't wait to share it with you so you can create your own!
