Very clean with an awesome view!

Perfect place to stay for our recent visit. Super easy to walk to everything. Great view.

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.

You can’t beat the view or location. Will definitely come again.

Best location in Leucadia/Encinitas with Beacon's beach across the street, several very good restaurants suited for any attire within walking distance. Great place for young familites.

Great location with an awesome view. We very much enjoyed the beach equipment the property made available to us, particularly the bodyboards. It's hard to find space for equipment like that while travelling so having it available from the rental was very convenient.

Amazing spot. Got to watch the surfers coming and going. Loved it and equipped with everything we needed. Great location

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!

Loved our stay. House was the perfect launch pad to enjoy all the area has to offer.

We love this place and have stayed many times. Best location to everything we need!

We loved staying in this cute condo. Amazing views of the beautiful sunset. Condo is clean, comfortable and has everything you need for a great beach trip. My boys loved trying the surf boards provided. The kitchen was stocked with all the basics needed. Quiet area but just across the street from beach access. Only note ( which wasn’t an issue for us) this is a top unit and has all fairly steep stairway to get into unit. If you plan to do laundry you will need quarters for the machines. Not in the unit but right downstairs. Owner was very responsive and great to work with. We will be back for sure! Easy parking but you can walk just about everywhere. We have stayed at many VRBOs and I was very impressed with this one.

Have stayed all over Leucadia and Encinitas over past 10+ years and this was best ever. Loved the view, very comfortable, perfect!

This place was exactly like stated in the website. The property was right across the small one way street from the beach. It had a view of the ocean. The space was large and the kitchen had updated appliances. The only thing I would suggest is to bring your own shampoo, conditioner and bar soap. There were lots of beach toys for our two grandchildren to take to the beach. The downstairs outside shower was perfect for removing sand before entering the condo. We also went to Disneyland which was a little over an hour away but not a bad drive. Overall it was a great stay.

house was great. owner was helpful. would definitely stay there again

great location & views of sunsets

Richard's property was perfect for our 4-night stay in San Diego. The location could not be better: steps from the beach, and walking distance to many restaurants and bars. The apartment itself was as described. Two very spacious bedrooms, each with some sort of ocean view. The living area and the kitchen are great. The bathrooms are great, too; just big enough, and the water pressure in the shower was outstanding. The apartment was super-clean on arrival, and everything was in working order (the fridge is big and works perfectly, we used the dishwasher every night, the heater worked well, etc.) If anything, I would say add a few wine glasses (there were only two available). Communication with the owner was almost instant, and always satisfactory. I would absolutely stay here again.

The property was wonderful. The weather was cruddy.

Great view, great location, great accommodation. Thank you!

This is a beautiful property with a perfect location across from Beacon’s Beach. You can walk to shops, restaurants and other beaches, or take a very short drive to the main drag of Encinitas. We loved it.

Great location in Leucadia, right at the access to Beacons beach. It is also just a short walk downhill (less than five minutes) to HWY 101 with shopping and restaurants of all kinds. The only downside is with the location at Beacons beach, the rental is just across the street from the parking lot so there can be a lot of traffic noise during the day. But it makes for good people watching! Evenings and mornings are quiet.

Nice place, pretty basic but had what we needed, a nice layout, and comfy beds. Highlights were the balcony with wonderful ocean views, and the location - just across from a great beach and easy walk to the great shops and restaurants on the 101.

Had a quick trip to San Diego and a great stay at this location. House was amazing

This home is the second property leased for my February vacation. It was a bit of a downsize as my group went from 8 to 1 after the first 10 days. I thought I would be giving up so much moving out of the big house on the cliff and being direct oceanfront-but this location proved to be amazing. The advantage of the second floor balcony gave marvelous sunset views over the Pacific and even a morning rainbow the day of my departure. The home was very comfortable, well equipped and clean, and the proximity to the beach access was superb. I did rent a car for the month, but once the family left, I could have easily done without! Very favorable walkability to just about everything Leucadia and Encinitas has to offer. The only negative, next time I lease, I will take into consideration if the Landlord permits pets. The last few days of my stay, 2 dogs moved into the downstairs apartment. Their barking was disruptive to my daily peacefulness. If only they could have moved in after my departure!!!

Really nice experience in a great location. Would definitely come back!

Great location, convenient to everything. Very clean, excellent communications with owner.

This VRBO is in a perfect location. Easy access to the wonderful Beacons Beach, great walkability to nearby restaurants and shops, and overall a very welcoming and enjoyable place. Highly recommend!

I stayed at the property with my husband and 2 year old for Labor Day weekend 2021. What we wanted was a relaxing getaway where we could walk to the beach. Unfortunately, I would not stay at this property again, nor can I recommend it. The property is right across from the “stairs” to Beacon beach, true, however it’s a hike down to the beach and back up the steep bluffs to get back to the property. Though there are some stairs, it’s more of a trail formed along the steep bluffs with signs warning of its possible instability. Hiking back up that trail carrying a two year old, or any beach gear, is challenging. I’m not athletic but not in terrible shape and it was a struggle for me. During our 4 days and 3 nights, I only went down to the beach once, rendering its proximity pointless. We drove to Moonlight Beach instead. I would also add that if you’re looking for a beach to lay out, relax, and spend the day, Beacon beach really isn’t that. It’s more of a surfers beach. The tide comes in rather high, not leaving much room to really set up on dry sand. It was disappointing for what we wanted. Now on the property… It was clear it had been cleaned however superficially. I have a cleaning service that comes to my house and if they cleaned like that I would look for another service. The blinds and some surfaces were still dusty and the grill was not cleaned (we used it once but covered everything in foil so our food didn’t actually touch the surface of the grill). The property is well equipped with dishes, utensils, and appliances. It’s in pretty good shape however there are few things that could make it better, like replacing the toilet seat in the master bath and replacing the mattresses. The mattresses are very uncomfortable and I don’t mean my preference is a firmer mattress. I mean it squeaks and you can feel the springs. It was impossible for me to ever get comfortable. This brings me to the biggest issue… the train. It runs almost every hour. You cannot feel the trains vibrations but you can hear the whistles/horn. And yes, even with all the windows closed and the fan and portable floor a/c unit on, I could hear the train. I didn’t get a decent nights sleep the entire time. There goes my relaxing vacation. I heard it at all late night/early am hours as well, 12:20am, 2:20am, 5:20am, etc. My husband is a deep sleeper, yet he heard it as well. Maybe a surfer who is an extremely deep sleeper would enjoy this property.

We have stayed at many VRBO's in the past few years, and there is no doubt in my mind this belongs at the top of the list! It wasn't just clean, it was immaculate. There were more kitchen utensils than we have at home and there were little extras we didn't expect to find - like a fully stocked spice rack. You can't go wrong renting this property.
