Beach Getaway

I had a great stay here this summer. The hosts are lovely and thoughtful, the place is comfy and low-maintenance, and the location is fabulous: one block from the beach, and one block from the main drag with great restaurants and shops. If you’re looking for a beach getaway, you couldn’t do better….

Great place to unwind and enjoy ocean breeze.

Our stay was such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Sheryl and Bob have created an extremely welcoming space with a secluded patio surrounded by all types of florals and in walking distance to the ocean, restaurants, shops, bars, ect. We felt rested and rejuvenated following our stay and hope to return in the future!

Leucadia Beach Retreat

Great place and location. Just a short walk from the beach. Easy to get around Leucadia and Encinitas. Very neat and tidy place, the outdoor living area was just what we (and our dog!) needed. Sheryl and Bob were very welcoming and nice! Thank you for letting us stay at your place!
