Encinitas Short Term Rental Permit #RNTL-007098-2016.

Located in charming Leucadia (a section of Encinitas, California), this very private vacation rental consists of a living room with comfortable queen-sized sofa sleeper and a closet, a nicely appointed bedroom and a beautiful bathroom, plus outdoor living areas and an OUTDOOR kitchen that have features our guests love.

From the living room, there are French doors that open to the kitchen, which is OUTDOORS. There is also a door to a hallway that separates the living room, the bedroom and the bathroom, so both areas have complete privacy. The bedroom has French doors that open to the kitchen, too, so both the kitchen and living room with sofa bed can be separately accessed to and from the outdoor living and kitchen areas.

The outdoor kitchen is mostly "covered." This kitchen is well-equipped for almost any kind of cooking method: frying, baking, broiling, grilling, microwaving, crock-potting or doing things stovetop.

The outdoor, flagstone living area is bordered by flowers and artificial grass, frequented by hummingbirds and has an outdoor fireplace with hearth.

Your spaces are part of a residence and have a separate entrance. There are no stairs, except for the ones to your ocean-view deck. It is private and apart from the owners' quarters.

Enjoy warming around, lounging and dining by the fireplace with a outdoor wicker sectional and cushions. Or go up to your ocean-view deck and enjoy the sunset, work at the table or read a book. The kitchen counter area is all under cover, as is the granite breakfast bar that runs parallel to it. Dice at the counter, pour something from the refrigerator, scoop something from the freezer and serve at the bar. (Also next to the kitchen, there is a warm water rinse-off shower for after the beach!)

PETS ARE ALLOWED BUT MUST BE WELL-BEHAVED. If they have separation anxiety which results in howling, barking, chewing, wetting, etc., they cannot be left alone for more than one half hour. Thank you!

This quiet street has easy freeway access, walking distance to a grocery store, restaurants and shops. Several beach outlets available and within walking distance. This is a perfect place to begin and end a day if you venture out to do and see all that the San Diego area has to offer. There is Coaster train access to Solana Beach, Old Town and downtown San Diego is only 2 miles away in downtown Old Encinitas.

Bob and Sheryl are fabulous hosts! Beautiful outdoor space. Everything on the inside was comfortable, clean and cozy. We were worried about the outdoor kitchen space, however it was just fine. Well stocked and fun. Added a bit of adventure to the trip. We had our grandkids visit over the visit and having the outdoor space was very welcome. Location is perfect. We love walking on Neptune, quick walk to Peachy’s and Leucadia donuts! Of course also easy walk to all the 101 restaurants. We will be back!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Sheryl and Bob Chase

Host profile image
Sheryl is a Real Estate Broker in the North Coastal area of San Diego County and Bob is mostly retired after many years in the corporate high-tech world and most recently as a Realtor. Bob and Sheryl have lived west of the 101 since 1990 and also now rent out a portion of their home that has a separate entrance for guests. They always enjoy meeting their guests and especially appreciate to hear from them on how much they're enjoying My Beach Stay and the neighborhood's lifestyle. "Our rental has so much to offer and it's nice to see our guests use it to its full advantage."

Why they chose this property

"People that stay here love the outdoor/indoor living in the Old California feel of Leucadia. Our yard, the birds and flowers, are a peaceful way to wake up and to unwind after a day out and about. The newer kitchen has just about everything! Not to mention, romantic dimmable lighting and a beautiful granite breakfast bar. And the stone fireplace outdoors is very cozy when lit with comfortable seating surrounding it. The bathroom is updated and roomy. All in all, it's very different from most beach rentals. Clean and inviting.

Starting in 2005, we offered just a bedroom and bathroom with no kitchen and, and not through VRBO. In 2010, we added the covered outdoor kitchen so our guests could spend more time here and we upgraded the bathroom. No matter what time of year, My Beach Stay gets used by couples, singles and families for even longer stays. In about 2017, we added a living room a daybed to the rental. In 2019, we upgraded the floors to luxury plank vinyl; in 2020 we purchased new outdoor furniture for the sitting area in front of the fireplace outdoors. In December of 2021, we invested into a whole-house water filter system, which means every faucet in the home offers filtered water. In February of 2022, we added a new Pottery Barn, very comfortable, high-end sofa bed in the living room. Little by little, we've tried to make this vacation rental more luxurious, but also easy for our guests.

VRBO has granted us the designation of Premier Hosts because of our multiple excellent reviews and our response time. We communicate well and are there for our guests when they need us, while at the same time give them perfect privacy."

What makes this property unique

The opportunity to be at one with nature in the backyard. The kitchen is outdoors. A second living area is outdoors. A yard with artificial grass. Good storage. Privacy. We owners are usually on-site, but give our guests complete privacy. Please read our reviews for why people love My Beach Stay.
