About this property

Contemporary 3 bedroom 2 bath house just ONE block to the BEACH.


Our home is unique: an abundance of windows brighten each room; solar panels power central air conditioning; recent upgrades provide a contemporary air; and its triangular floor plan makes for interesting architectural angles. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood of family homes west of Coast Hwy in Leucadia and within a two minute walk of Stone Steps Beach Access. Close by are the more public Moonlight Beach, complete with snack bar, bathrooms, and showers, and the well known Beacon's Beach for great surf. Grandview, Ponto, D Street, and Swami's Beaches are a short drive away.

The main (second floor) of our home is the gathering area for family and friends with kitchen, living room, dining area, and 2 decks. The living room features a glass and gas fireplace with custom cement hearth, inviting seating, and a flat screen TV. One sofa folds out to a remarkably comfortable queen bed. The kitchen has custom cabinets with birch burl veneers, quartz countertops, and new appliances. One deck has a new gas barbecue and the other deck, located at the point of the house's triangle, is for enjoying meals outside.

This floor also has a full bath, and two bedrooms, each furnished with a queen bed. One bedroom has a flatscreen TV and a desk with printer for your convenience. The bath has custom a granite countertop and a glass tiled tub/shower combination.

The upper floor opens to the master suite. The bedroom is furnished with a king sized bed with tempurpedic mattress, a flat screen TV, and features a patio on either side. The master bath has a soapstone countertop, a large shower with tile and beach rocks, and, again, custom cabinets.

The bottom floor houses the two car garage. You will also find beach toys, chairs, and an umbrella, and finally, the washer and dryer. The bottom floor also houses a studio with a separate entry. The owners use it for an overnight stay now and then; otherwise, it is empty.

Leucadia abounds in great coffee houses and restaurants. Closest and within easy walking distance is the well known Pannikin's for coffee, delicious baked treats, and breakfast and lunch items housed in the old Leucadia Train Station. Vigilucci's for fine dining is also within 3 blocks of our home. In fact, Leucadia is the perfect small, casual beach town with the added attractions of great new locations for dining, handmade ice cream, and baked goods to satisfy any need for a sugar fix. It's all so perfect, you may forget to visit great local attractions, including Legoland, the Del Mar Race Track, San Diego Zoo and Safari Park, and the fabulous Balboa Park with its museums and theaters! Maybe next trip.....

Spring break trip
Beautiful home and great location. We stayed here during our last leg of our spring break. Nice walk to the beach. Nice quiet neighborhood. We had some friends of ours who came along and it was their first time in California. They enjoyed their stay as well. I would have given 5 stars on everythjng but I had to reach out to get check in details as I didnt receive anything prior to our trip. Property manager was easy to reach out to though so it easnt a big issue.

About the host

Hosted by Galyn Thompson

Host profile image
We have spent most of our lives in Southern California. She is a retired school teacher and administrator and I am a retired airline pilot. We have commuted between the L.A. area and this house for years to spend time with both sets of our grandchildren. Now they have less time for us, so we want to share our wonderful house in a wonderful neighborhood with you.

Why they chose this property

We had vacationed in North County for years, and one day saw an open house sign in front of this unique home. We took the tour and fell in love. The three levels, unusual angles, contrasting lines of the house, open architecture, and varying light make the interior always different and interesting. In addition, taking kids to the beach is the best!

What makes this property unique

The beaches and waves in North County San Diego and particularly in Encinitas are unique. If you want mild weather (most of the time) and great beaches, this is the place. One block to the beach is a short walk but you can also walk to restaurants, coffee houses, bars, and shopping.
Interstate 5 is an eight-lane north/south freeway that goes through San Diego to the Mexican border to the south and goes through the western United States to Vancouver Canada to the north. It is your main road to many attractions throughout Southern California.
The 101 bus is just two blocks away and can take you to many more places along Pacific Coast Highway. For longer excursions on rapid transit, the train station is one mile away with ample parking and a bus stop. The Coaster train runs from downtown San Diego to Oceanside and Amtrak from San Diego through Anaheim and downtown Los Angeles ending in San Luis Obispo. If you go to San Diego (by train, bus, or car) there is an extensive tram and bus system that can take you just about anywhere in the San Diego Metropolitan area.
You can find a new activity every day or you can spend hours at the beach or both. What a wonderful place to be!
