Beach-Themed but 10 mins walk crossing railroad tracks to get to beach

It’s a lovely space and very comfortable and attractive. One should note the walk to beach is not quick and definitely not easy to find. No orientation in all the in-room info how to walk to beach from property. The kitchen is fabulous and fridge is large and empty so it runs all night kicking off occasionally…not good for light sleepers. Other than that, we had a good stay.

touches that make a difference

This property was perfect for my self led writing retreat. I was greeted with bottles of water and gluten free crackers (I’m always hungry after traveling, and it seems nothing is GF), slippers and gentle breezes flowing through the large studio. The full kitchen was well equipped with everything needed to cook myself a few meals. The owners take pride in making you feel comfortable, encouraged to relax and soak in the hippy vibes in Leucadia. A beach town where people were always walking with dedicated walkways in the street. A slower pace of living, where people look you in the eye because they genuinely want to know, “How are you?” You could walk to places near this hideaway, but probably a bit better to have a car. Leucadia has tons of choices for restaurants. This location was incredibly quiet, and felt like a sanctuary. Loved it!

Excellent, Commodious Accommodation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hideout. Check-in was a breeze and we were off and running for our two-week stay. Debbie and Travis are very laid-back and friendly. The studio is on a second floor and very private. There is no view of the ocean, but the place is quiet. The couch is very cozy and comfy for TV viewing. The King-size bed is also very comfy! The TV has lots of options, but no major networks for football junkies, which we are, but that was okay. We made do with our NFL app on the iPad. The internet service is great. The kitchen is nice. It comes with Cutco knives, which we really appreciated. The dishwasher works great, the fridge is ample and modern. the bathroom is tight but offers everything you'll need. We appreciated the functional laundry washer and dryer. And, it was nice having an outdoor shower to wash our feet after the beach. Oh, and speaking of the beach, Travis is an experienced surfer and knows where all the good breaks are. I appreciated the surf board and the boogie boards at the place, and Travis even loaned me his fins, bc he had the same foot size as me...Thank you Travis! Great stay...would definitely come back again.

This is a good location for a 2-3 day stay, there weren't any extra garbage bags so it was a bit difficult being there for a week. All the spices had expired in 2017-2022 including honey and other cooking materials, when you walked in there was a smell like no one had been up there in a while to air it out or potentially mold. Not a bad location, quite, private.

This studio was so perfect, cozy and comfortable with plenty of space. Furnished perfectly with comfortable king bed, a desk area, full kitchen with island and sofa/tv area. It was so comfortable I wanted to stay in and read on the cloudy mornings. I enjoyed coffee on the balcony/neighborhood was quiet. Every amenity was well thought out and incorporated in this studio. I appreciated the beach chairs that were provided for trips to the beach. The property was beautiful and well maintained.

Highly recommended

My wife and I stay for one week in June. Beautiful upstairs studio. Very comfortable king bed. Well equipped kitchen. Nice, large walk-in shower with control knob accessible before entering shower, which is a plus.Very quiet without any noise from neighbors. Can hear passenger train nearby , but not bothersome or intrusive.Parking nearby on street. If returning later in the evening may have some difficulty finding a spot on occasion(twice during out stay).Very good entry and exiting instructions from Debbie, the host.Would stay here again if in the area.

Excellent Beach House Minutes from the Beach

We had a great stay at the Leucadia Beach House. Everything was very clean and tidy. The owners provided lots of amenities including some snacks, k-cups, and lots of things to take to the beach. We would definitely stay here again, as it was only about a 5 minute drive to the beach. Walking was possible but would have taken a bit longer due to the train tracks. Great location and great owners.

1st time VRBO stay!

Everything was just as the description and pictures portrayed. Location was perfect. Everything we needed was already in place. Debbie was quick to reply & gracious too! My husband was so thrilled with the size of the Casita and beauty of everything he kept asking; 'Why we hadn't done this before & when can we come back?'.
