Perfect home base for beach vacation in Leucadia
This house is a great place to stay for a beach vacation in Leucadia. We enjoyed watching sunsets and staring at the horizon from the deck. The walk across to Beacon's beach to surf or stroll couldn't be any easier. The unit is very spacious, and the kitchen is especially nice. We would love to come back to Leucadia soon, and would happily stay at Richard's place again.

Stay in Encinitas
Overall, we were happy with the property and location. Richard was quick to respond to questions prior to our stay. No contact was required during our stay. Dedicated onsite parking is a plus. View of the ocean is great from the balcony as this is the second story unit of the property. Even with beach parking across the street, it is a very quiet area. A couple of things to be aware of. This is a second story unit so getting luggage in/out is not an easy task as it has external stairs to the unit. Access to the beach is just across the road, but the trail down to the beach is higher than we expected, but not bad.

The pictures don’t do justice to the property or location. It is gorgeous!
The property is located right off Beacons Beach! This is a fabulous surf beach and with the added sand it is also a wonderful beach! We stayed on the second floor unit and the views are wonderful. There are zero obstruction to this view. You can stand on the balcony sip your coffee and check the surf in the morning to see if there is a set calling your name. With a swift walk down the access you can be in the water with in 5 minutes. The rooms are huge! The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and ready to use. The property is clean and nicely decorated, well maintained, and recently remodeled. There are 2 easy access parking spots. It is walkable to several resteraunts, shopping, and a park. We took a girls trip with my mother, adult daughter, and teen daughter. After a week on the property we were all feeling rested and restored. Thank you to the owners for letting us stay.

Great location! Steps to the beach.
Love the location pretty much on the sand in Leucadia lots of surfers every morning with their boards great view from the deck good privacy from any neighbors or walkers. Kitchen is nicely stocked. Nice appliances. Comfy living area and beds pillows and linens were comfortable slept well. Good shower pressure too. Stairs leading up to 2nd floor condo are steep if you’re a little impaired or have a suitcase. Could use an added handrail on the right. If you’re strong and steady it’s a great condo! I’d stay again for sure! Laundry in the lower garage is a plus! Definitely book this again! We are a family of 4 with grown children lots of restaurants within walking distances and the best French cafe too.

Better than advertised, spacious, bright, and well located
This place is a gem. It’s located in a quiet high end neighborhood across the street from a small beach parking lot, so there are no houses blocking the view of the ocean from this second floor apartment. Big rooms, well equipped kitchen, and second floor deck with sweeping water views. Close to shops and Pannikin coffee. This apartment is up a flight and a half of stairs. Also the beach access across the street is currently closed due to storm damage, but there’s another about a mile away, and lots by car. Several reviews mentioned trains, here’s the deal: Encinitas has a train track that runs the length of town about 1000 feet from the water. If you’re near the water, you’re near the train. In this place you can hear the train, but it’s not like it’s shaking the house. Be aware some of the other places we looked at are directly overlooking the tracks, so you might want to ask. Overall great place, we’ll be back.

Lovely space
This property is excellent, the rooms are large and clean, furniture is comfortable, kitchen pretty well stocked. Sunsets off the balcony are awesome. In all honesty, however, it should be noted that the stairs are very steep to reach the second floor and there is a train that runs nearby by about every half hour that blows its horn. That starts around 5:20AM til late. It didn't bother me, but it did my husband. Just be prepared. Perfect spot if you like to surf, run, bike, etc.

Disappointment
2 Adult couples. Day 2, one person started having severe respiratory issues. Sneezing, coughing and runny nose. Day 3 another guest developed similar respiratory issues. Day 4, another guest developing severe respiratory issues enduring sleepless nights. And our 4 th guest developed A scratchy throat and congestion on our 6 th day. We all experienced “COVID” like symptoms. We tested for COVID. All negative results. Cause of all guests getting sick? Very old and shabby carpet in Bedrooms. But the main problem was the floor mounted air conditioners. Master bedroom had NO Windows that could be opened. So, AC was required To get air movement. Units are old and I surmise that The filters in the units have NEVER been changed. Each bedroom had a unit and the living area as well. Poor ventilation required the units to be running in all rooms. Unit was right across the street from the beach. Damp conditions create mold and mold can be a large irritant. My symptoms ceased getting worse when we stopped using AC in master bedroom on day 5. We departed the unit 9 am on Saturday and still Monday Night symptoms are still a problem. I find it impossible to believe that these issues have not shown themselves with other guests. In addition, the picture in the advertising was likely taken 10-15 years ago. The place is shabby. And all guests got sick. I never write reviews but this place inspired me!
