Enjoy an 8 minute walk to Buccaneer Beach, very quick drives to local restaurants and coffee shops, and easy access to Carlsbad Village and Legoland.

About the host
Hosted by Jacob
Hi! I’m Jacob.
I’m a San Diego local and the founder of Lodge & Leisure Vacation Homes. I take pride in offering clean, thoughtfully prepared homes up and down the San Diego coastline that feel like a true home away from home.
As a longtime local, I’m always happy to share tips on the best fish tacos, beach spots, and a few hidden gems around town. When I’m not hosting, you’ll usually find me outdoors, traveling, cooking, or chasing my toddler around the neighborhood.
Hope to host you soon!
