About this property

Private, vintage 2bd/2ba, 1/3 acre lot, ocean views, amazing sunsets!

the Leucadia Place is available again!!

Welcome to Funky Leucadia where you are greeted with old north county vibes and new energy. The Leucadia Place is a quaint 2bed/2bath updated 1927 home perched on the hillside facing the pacific. No a/c but coastal breezes keep things fresh and cool with beautiful sunsets too!

Coming soon (mid-2025) EV Charging station!!!

the Leucadia Place is best for a couple with a child (or two) or a couple with a friend. Please look at the full description to see if our place suits you. A rare and unique quality of a vacation rental is that WE ARE dog/cat FRIENDLY and have no size restrictions but please pay the pet fee and let us know so we can set up. If you're fur-ball tears up the things, it happens, but we expect you to be upfront about it and accommodate repairs/replacement.

Does the calendar look booked? Please ask about availability, though the calendar appear blocked, the place may still be available. We are pacing guests.

West of interstate 5 and east of coast highway, we are perfect for a seasonal track rental or a weekend stay! Summer season is on, Bing Crosby season is November 3-28! 15% discount on 28+ day stay!

The home is just a short 8 miles north (10-15 min) from the Del Mar Race track so if you're looking to rent for the 2024 track season, ask ASAP for an inclusive monthly rate. The dates may be pre-blocked for this opportunity so please reach out.

Don't waste your energy on a hotel when you can have your own little home, with all a home has to offer but with no parking fees, no resort fees, and no waiting in lines. Plenty of space for 2 cars behind the electric gate.

The primary bedroom has a nice, firm queen size bed with en-suite bathroom and the secondary bedroom provides a twin-sized trundle bed with a select comfort upper mattress and a firm trundle underneath.

We are fully furnished with a full kitchen, full laundry, equipped for a quick get away or long unplug. Its a beautiful and rustic home sitting on a large lot, with orange, lemon, grapefruit trees and lots of space.

Bringing a four legged friend? No problem. Just know that with the size of the lot and rural surrounding properties, skunks, opossums and raccoons have been seen from time to time.

A large outdoor deck is great for afternoon lunches and evening sunsets.

The owner lives locally and can be available if anything arises.

Weekly/bi-weekly cleaning available at an extra charge.

West of interstate 5 and just east of Coast Highway 101. The home is just a short 8 miles north (10-15 min) from the Del Mar Race track so if you're looking to rent for the 2022 track season, ask us ASAP for an inclusive monthly rate. The dates may be blocked for this opportunity.

Close to world famous Torrey Pines Golf courses and La Costa Omni Spa and Resort Golf Courses.

Relaxing Stay Near the Beach

Outstanding rental property for those traveling with pets! The house is walking distance from downtown Leucadia/Encinitas but on a quiet street. The property is huge, fully-fenced and well-landscaped with lots of fruit trees and a small garden. Partial ocean views throughout. Nicely furnished. Host was great. We loved our stay.

The home was private and gated and on a hill with views of the ocean. Very close proximity to restaurants and the beach. We look forward to staying here again. We highly recommend this home!

Jason and Lily are great hosts and we would highly recommend their ocean view vintage cottage. It is so quiet up on the hill, yet so close to restaurants and the freeway. There is the occasional train horn but it's part of coastal life.

great private getaway

Jason & Lilly are great hosts! They communicated with me to make sure our stay was enjoyable...& it was! Jason happened to be at the house when we arrived & gave us a little history about the house. The property was perfect for our doggies (even included them in the welcome sign!). The house is old, but has been tastefully remodeled & upgraded. The location is perfect for venturing out or exploring Leucadia & Encinitas. Hope to be back again!

Great stay

We enjoyed our stay very much. The neighborhood was quiet. The fenced -in yard was perfect for our little dog. Perfect amount of space for 3 people. The yard has a lot of fruit trees and a garden, which was fun to wander through. The locked gate at the front made the property feel very secure and safe. Good communication with Jason. We didn't need any help, but i always knew I could reach him if needed.

Home away from home

The house was beautiful. Jason was extremely accommodating to our needs. Absolutely can’t wait to make this a regular vacation spot. Kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. The washer dryer is a nice perk. The living room and office/desk space face the ocean - magical place to work remotely. Location proximity to local shops, restaurants and beach is convenient and close. The neighborhood itself is quiet, quaint and has a Hawaii vibe. The landscaping is beautiful and fragrant. The sunset views of the ocean. are unmatched. We still talk about our stay and cannot wait to stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Jason

Host profile image
San Diego has been home for over 4 decades and there's a reason for that. the Leucadia place is a unique slice of old north county. As you join for your stay, you will discover why. Having known this property for over 20 years its exciting to share its charms and quirks with you (there are not many spaces like this still around). It’s a home you'll enjoy your time at and come back again and again.

If traveling to Maui, Hawaii, please check another special space: VRBO listing #2169742

Why they chose this property

Why choose the Leucadia Place? If you're looking for a private space with more than a hotel can offer at a better price, this is it. Up a private driveway and behind a gate you'll find our spot. Its a work in progress but already has so much to offer.

Though about 1/4 mile from the ocean, when the wind is blowing from the west, you can hear the waves. Sunsets are spectacular and you can enjoy them on your own private deck.

Leucadia is an up and coming area and you can easily walk to coast highway and visit all that is going on. Just south of you is Encinitas, Cardiff, Solana Beach and Del Mar (home of the world famous Del Mar race track) and Torrey Pines and La Jolla home of the world famous Torrey Pines Golf Course.

To the north is La Costa, Carlsbad, Oceanside and beyond. There are amazing spas and resorts in the area and you can stay with us, visit the resorts for your spa and tee times and not deal with the crowds when you return to this private space.

What makes this property unique

North County San Diego beats to a different drum than San Diego proper and Leucadia even more so. Its a great balance of San Diego and old San Diego. Great bars, restaurants, surf spots and chill vibes. Its just a nice tempo.
