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.

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.

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!

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!

Loved our stay. Great location. one block from ocean. Apartment was clean and cozy. Outdoor space exceptional. Loved the gas fireplace and outdoor furniture. Outdoor kitchen worked well. Had everything we needed. Table and chairs inside was helpful on chilly mornings. Best of all Sheryl and Bob were wonderful hosts. We will be back.

We loved our 5 week stay at this little place perfectly located between Beacons and Grandview beaches. It's a great neighborhood with restaurants, surf shops, a USPS post office, and small grocery market all within a few blocks. Walking our dogs to Beacons to watch the sunset became one of our favorite evening activities.
Bob and Sheryl are great. Sheryl greeted us upon arrival and gave us a quick tour. They are both very conscientious about giving their guests privacy. We hardly saw them unless we needed something and then they were immediately available.
The apartment is small but the space is efficient. There was plenty of storage space for our things (2 large closets and lots of empty drawers). I appreciated that the bathroom was roomy with a nice shower/tub combo and lots of counter space. The outdoor space is big enough to have friends over and was our favorite place to hang out with our pets.
The outdoor kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals. It was a treat to have access to the extra upstairs balcony with a dining table for 4 and a fantastic view of the sunsets.
A friend came to stay with us for a weekend and said that the pull out sofa was very comfortable.
If you are looking for a comfortable place to stay with great access to two surf beaches we highly recommend Bob and Sheryl's place.

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!
5.0
Sheryl and Bob were wonderful hosts. They are warm, kind and super helpful while being extremely respectful of our privacy.
The unit is in an amazing location - walking distance to Beacon's and Grandview beaches which are great surfing spots. It's also biking distance to Moonlight and Ponto Beaches which are a bit more roomy for family fun in the sand.
There are tons of great cafes and restaurants within walking distance and a small super market that's practically next door, selling local produce and essentials.
The place has a nice and quiet bedroom; living room with a comfy pull out couch. There's an outdoor kitchen with access to an ocean view deck. It's a great a great place to socialize while preparing meals outside in perfect summer weather, with a myriad humming birds and butterflies visiting the garden. The kitchen's well stocked w/ everything you could need on vacation.
We stayed for 6 weeks w/ 2 elementary school age kids. It is a bit small, but manageable, for such an extended stay w/ a family (our kids definitely started missing their room and yard towards the end). However, I would highly recommend it for a shorter family stay or a stay of any length for a couple or a single person.
5.0
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.

Backyard Oasis
We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Leucadia. The location is perfect. A short walk to Just Peachy, our favorite produce market, short walk to the ocean, restaurants and shops. The patio had everything you needed to enjoy the sun during the day and a gas fireplace to warm you up in the evening. My husband and I love being outside so having an outdoor kitchen was right up our alley. The hosts are warm and welcoming. They were very accommodating when our dates changed and made it work for us. I would give them a 5+ rating if I could.

Just as described!
Sheryl and Bob were incredible hosts. We stayed at their beach house with our two young children and our dog for more than a month while we waited to move in to our new home. The location can't be beat as it's just blocks away from two beach accesses. We will miss our evening hang-outs on the patio and sunset strolls to the beach. Thank you Sheryl and Bob!

This unit is clean and very well equipped. Four of us (plus a puppy) we’re very comfortable. Even in a rare San Diego rain event the outdoor kitchen met all our needs. The deck at the top of the stairs provides a nice ocean view and the on-premise landlords were pleasant and accommodating. We recommend highly!

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

We used this property to work, visit relatives, and enjoy nice ocean view walks. Sheryl is very communicative and responsive. Restaurants and groceries are walkable too. We will consider this location for future visits.

This is the first time I’ve ever stayed anywhere for two months and it is by far the best location I’ve seen in the area. Just a block from all the restaurants on Highway 101 and less than a block from the road that runs along the bluff to the ocean. Lots of places to walk and super convenient to everything else you need.
The outdoor space was amazing and my dogs and I were out there at least 70% of the time.
I’ve never seen them so happy, because we don’t have a yard like this in the desert.
Bed was comfortable and the outdoor kitchen was fine for everything I needed. Loved having Hulu and Netflix, so I could binge on everything I missed.
Bob and Cheryl live on site, which was fabulous. Super nice and very responsive, yet you will never know they’re there.
I will definitely be back when I decided to stay at this part of the coast again.

Great place and location! The yard was fantastic for working remotely in 75 degree weather! Walking distance to15 restaurants and a great little general store one block away.

My husband and I are world travelers. We have stayed in a larger number of rentals. This one made our top 5 list. Bob and Sheryl are wonderful hosts and the property is lovely. The ocean is just across the road and you can see it from the backyard. You can access the beach from 2 different locations, each a 5 minute walk away. The neighborhood is quite and within walking distance of downtown Encinitas. We will definitely be back.

Leucadia retreat
We rented this updated Leucadia retreat during September while our Leucadia home remodel a block away was being finished. We had two busy adults and two teen boys, and one chill dog who loved to walk Neptune. The space and patio was good. The outdoor kitchen was sufficient for light cooking. Their gas grill with burner was excellent. The owners are warm, accommodating, and accessible. We love love love the location! We recommend this property.

Wonderful beach vacation!
My family and I spent a relaxing week and a half at this adorable property. We loved the ability to walk right down to the beach. The sleeping arrangements worked out great, and the bathroom was a nice size. We most enjoyed the outdoor space: utilizing the outdoor kitchen, viewing the sunset from the upstairs deck, and sitting out in front of the fireplace. Thanks Sheryl and Bob for a great stay!

In heaven for a month!
Bob and Sheryl were incredible hosts during our month-long stay in beautiful Encinitas. Our boys (9 & 6) were very happy with the selection of beach toys and games and the rest of the house was nicely appointed for the adults. Sheryl even provided a list of things to do in the San Diego area, which was very helpful. If you want a clean, lovely home with gracious hosts in a beautiful location, this is it!
