This home is comfortable and updated. It is very clean and well taken care of with quality furnishings. It is a great location to restaurants. It is walkable to the beach but the walk is up hill and then down the cliff on a dirt path. The beach is perfect for boogie boarding. We enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay. The house was clean and had everything we needed for a weeklong surf trip. It is only a short walk to the beach, restaurants and shops.

Great house and location

We visited friends in SD for the 4th of July and two families stayed in this house. It was perfect. Great location, very clean, and lots of things that they offer at the house to make things easier (crib sheets, high chair, beach toys, etc.). And the host was kind and helpful.

Great location, within walking distance of restaurants and the beach which is so nice because parking can be tough near beach. Really comfortable beds and great kitchen. Outdoor fireplace was a nice bonus! We had an issue when we arrived but it wasn't time sensitive, so just messaged Stephanie and she called right away wanting to resolve it immediately, which was appreciated.

Great family retreat

This home was one of the best equipped rentals I’ve ever stayed in. We traveled with a toddler and five year old and we’re grateful for all the baby essentials which made our stay more comfortable. The home is beautifully decorated and well maintained. We could walk to restaurants, coffee, beach and shopping but mostly enjoyed cooking and barbecuing at home.

Beautiful and comfortable home!

The home was even better in person. Beds and linens were very comfortable. High end appliances. Extremely clean. Backyard space is so nice to sit out in the morning and evening. Walk to watch the surfers at the beach access on Leucadia Blvd. Walk to great restaurants. We would definitely stay again.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at 905 Hermes in Leucadia. Having previously lived in the area, it was especially fun and meaningful to be back—and this home made the experience even better.The location couldn’t have been more perfect—within easy walking distance to the beach and several great restaurants, which made everything feel both relaxing and convenient. The home itself was incredibly spacious, giving everyone plenty of room to spread out and feel comfortable. Everything was spotless upon arrival, and it’s clear the property is very well cared for.We especially appreciated the updated kitchen, which was modern, well-equipped, and made it easy to prepare meals during our stay. There were also so many thoughtful amenities that really elevated the experience—it truly felt like a home away from home.All in all, this was a wonderful stay, and we’d absolutely return. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a clean, spacious, and perfectly located spot in North County San Diego.

Beautiful home and property

The home and yard are well-cared for. We loved everything about it. The outdoor fire was a highlight. The space was clean, well-decorated, and well-stocked. Everything was provided in the bathrooms and kitchen to make our stay an easy one. Unlike other places we've stayed, the beds and pillows were comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better place at a more reasonable rate. Stephanie was responsive, helpful, and accommodating. We would definitely recommend.

Perfect stay for Everyone

We had our family with us for our son's wedding. We had our 13 month grandson staying as well. The living room area was so spacious for him to play with toys as for all of us to be comfortable. We loved the open concept. My other 2 grandkids came to visit and loved the front grass area for playtime. The decor and amenities were spot on. Our new extended family stopped by and everyone loved the place. Through we were busy with the wedding - it was close to everything. Our SIL jogged to the beach. This really was a perfect fit for us. Thank you for sharing your home. The next time we need a place in Encinitas, we will defiantly book this home again.

Family friendly close to beach

Overall a nice property and attentive property manager. The amenities and household items provided were most we’ve seen in any rental! We were however disappointed in the cleanliness. While the general house was clean and maintained, the hvac filter was dirty which was replaced within an hour of our arrival. Then that evening we showered to find a big hair ball at the bottom of the drain. This is no fault to the property or management but really the cleaning crew. Recommend for families (single level and high chair/pack n play) along with minimal “toddler breakable” items.

I tend to believe our housekeeping staff is absolutely the best in the market (as evident from our well-earned reviews), but even they make a mistake occasionally. Have addresses this with them.

Lovely beach house

Beautifully decorated and well appointed beach house just a few (uphill) blocks from great surf beach. Kitchen had everything we need included two coffee makers (keurig and drip); would have been nice to have even small selection of coffee or tea here so wr didn't have to go out for it right away but that is literally the only thing I can think of that would have improved our stay!

Great place to stay in Leukadia

We had a wonderful time at this property. The location is great for access to Encinitas and all the surrounding beach towns, and easy access to highways taking you anywhere in the region. The kitchen had everything we needed. And we really enjoyed the outside area for making fires and hanging out. The only downside was the noise from the train and a toilet that stopped working (but that could happen anywhere).

Lesli, you advised me of the toilet issue as you were checking out of the property. I maintain a handyman on my staff who would have fixed it earlier had I been advised. The train goes up the coast and it is hard to avoid it at any home near the beach.
