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 only 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 outdoor 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.

    The walk to the beach was perfect. We loved that you could walk to the neighborhood market, a coffee shop, taco or pizza place in addition to other shops. Immense gratitude to Sheryl & Bob for graciously accommodating our needs and requests. I do hope to plan to visit again.

    The inside was super cozy and quiet really liked it, the bed in the living is being upgraded which will make it that much better. The outdoor kitchen we liked but it was a little chilly for that time of year. A light around the grill would be nice for cooking in the dark. The hosts were great very friendly

    Sheryl and Bob were incredible hosts and they offered an amazing stay. My girlfriend, dog, and I went down to Encinitas for a week to surf and couldn’t have asked for more. The bnb is very spacious with its layout and outdoor kitchen and was perfect for a little guy to run around and feel comfortable. Being on the ground floor allowed us to stay cool and the AC in the unit helped us moderate our temperature. The location of the unit couldn’t be beat - split right between Beacons and Grandview and less than a 10 min walk either way. Sheryl and Bob were also incredible to work with and super nice. If this unit was for rent I’d move right in lol. Couldn’t recommend this bnb enough - thanks Sheryl and Bob!

    Listing accurately describes the property. The backyard is beautiful. Having private access to an upper deck was a plus (partial view of the Pacific). We enjoyed the backyard fireplace mornings and evenings. I was a bit anxious at the thought of an outdoor kitchen but it worked for us. Only a short walk on Neptune Avenue to two beach accesses (Beacon & Grandview). Off-street parking was a must for us. Peachy's Market (fresh produce), which we visited on a regular basis, was right down the street. Restaurants & coffee shops were within walking distance. Communication with Sheryl and Bob was easy. This was our first stay but we hope to be back again.

    My husband and I rented the apartment for the month of June, and couldn’t be happier with our choice! Sheryl and Bob are warm and welcoming, and have created an oasis for their renters. The apartment is on the small side, but perfectly functional and accurately represented in the listing. The real selling point though is the large, fenced yard that you have entirely to yourself. The yard is bigger than the apartment, and includes an outdoor kitchen, sectional sofa surrounding a massive gas fireplace, fake grass area, and lots of gorgeous roses, hydrangeas and irises. Not to mention a rooftop balcony with ocean view! We spent so much time outside every day… morning coffee in front of the fireplace, meals al fresco, open air yoga, etc. etc. etc. Beach access is 0.4 miles in one direction or 0.5 in the other, making a great 2-mile loop walk. The neighborhood is super walkable with lots of great restaurants and shops nearby. The only (small) down side is that the houses in this area are close together, so there can be noise from neighbors… but you’re unlikely to escape that anywhere in Encinitas. Highly recommended!

    The place was great and quiet. Perfect for traveling with our 2 dogs. The host, Sheryl, was very communicative and helpful. Wish it was walking distance to the dog beach but Del Mar wasn’t a far drive.

    We were very impressed with this lovely property! Close proximity to the beach and to downtown Leucadia. Many shops, delicious restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries. The hosts, Sheryl and Bob, were communicative and friendly. When in the area again, I will definitely put this at the top of my list of places to stay!

    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….

    Sheryl was great, she communicated quickly and even gave us some great recommendations for places to eat and go. The location was awesome and they had body boards and items to use at the beach.
