Thank you for choosing to hang out at the place and share your time with us! You were ideal guests and we look forward to welcoming you back again. Breeders cup 2028?!?
This was one of my favorite VRBO stays yet, out of so many! Jason was a wonderful host, and made us feel welcome, and informed. He even provided dog bowls and a dog bed for our dog! The Leucadia place is one of a kind, right in the midst of a darling coastal town, yet so secluded feeling. The kitchen was perfectly outfitted for all the cooking we wanted to do, including grilling outside. The bed was very comfortable, with luxurious linens. My grandsons and dog loved having a place to run around and play, and we loved the ocean views and the fresh citrus for breakfast. We will definitely be back!

Sherry! Thank you so much for allowing us to host you during the holidays. We look forward to having you back soon. I'm sure the boys miss you already!
I've never walked into a cleaner short term rental! Jason was a warm and well organized host. The neighborhood is quiet and a short walk from Leucadia's drag of the coast highway--coffee shops, wood fired pizza, record stores, beach access. It's a timeless place, perfect for our weekend with two discerning teens.
Great location. Walking distance to leucadia beach and restaurants. Plenty of room for four and a dog. Had an issue and Jason got right back to me to fix it. Would definitely book again.
My wife and I stayed here with our baby and a friend, we had an excellent time. It's very comfortable and it's a great location, walking distance to everything you want in the area.
We had such a wonderful stay! From the moment we arrived, our host made us feel completely welcome — even our dogs were spoiled with special treats! The backyard was perfect for them to run and play, and we loved picking fresh citrus to make orange juice in the mornings (the oranges were amazing!). The home was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. Thank you for being such a kind and thoughtful host — we would love to come back!
The property was wonderful. Once you drove through the gates, you enjoyed total peace and privacy. The house was comfortable and exceptionally clean. We didn’t need anything while we were there. Jason was a great communicator and answered all our needs. Our dog, Winnie, loved exploring the yard with the fruit trees and pathways.

Thank you for spending some time at our place. We are elated you took joy in all it has to offer. Please come back again soon. We hope you enjoyed the dragon fruit.
This spot is excellent! Jason was super attentive and helpful when needed. The location is perfect: walking distance to food and fun. The house was super clean, with enough comfort and supplies to last. Our dog had the zoomies around the property and passed out on the porch. We cannot wait to come back.
This little beach house was the cutest and best property to stay at that we could’ve asked for! It made our first time in Encinitas all the better, especially for Beacon’s beach access and proximity to the cute town. I loved how welcoming the host was and the place was clean, secure, and dog friendly. Even had incredible fruit trees! There was nothing more we needed as far as amenities go. Thank you for such a positive experience that we’ll never forget!

Thank you for hanging out at the Leucadia Place. We’re so stoked you were able to immerse yourself in all the place and the little city has to offer. Come back again soon.
Check in was so easy, Jason was an absolute dream. So so helpful and responsive! Waking up and seeing the ocean from the front door healed my soul. Loved the private parking behind the gate, and feeling like we had the whole place to ourself. Even picked a fresh grapefruit from the tree for breakfast! Would come back again and again!

Right? Good vibes all around. The place is very special to me and I am glad you got an escape and a grapefruit. (I never know when they're ready.....)
You were a lovely guest and please come back any time.
The owner Jason was great! Communication was perfect and he also checked in us a few times to make sure our stay was going well. The location was perfect, you could walk down to restaurants in Leucadia within a few minutes

We loved our stay here! The area is very walkable. We have stayed in a lot of vacation rentals. One thing that stood out about this one was the hospitality of the owner. Would definitely recommend.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is in a great location, extremely clean and comfortable. The hosts are considerate and communicative. We will be back!

Thank you so much for hanging at our little retreat. We are glad to have hosted you and look forward to having you again soon. We are glad you were able to explore some of the local spots as Leucadia is a unique little beach town.
A lovely property, secluded, tranquil, peaceful with view of Pacific Ocean. Dwelling is well appointed with modern appliances. Owner was particularly attentive and gracious. Can't wait to return.
Jason was a wonderful host, always responding to our requests in a very timely manner. Leucadia is a safe area and we recommend this property.

We really enjoyed our stay here and hope to come back again! The hosts were super responsive and friendly. The house had everything we needed. Best part of the rental is definitely the property - fully fenced and great for dogs. Partial view of the ocean as well which was a nice bonus.

Great property up on the hill. Wake up to the ocean breeze, and jog down to the beach. Excellent location near all the good stuff in Leucadia and Encinitas. Spacious property. We loved our time there.

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.

Hey Stuart! Thank you so much for joining us at the Leucadia Place. We are so happy you were able to enjoy all that it has to offer. It really takes being there to get it as its hard to showcase it in a few photographs. We look forward to having you back in the future.
Our stay was great! Just what we needed while work was being done on our home. Jason worked with us when we needed to extend our stay—twice! Thank you!

Jenifer,
Always glad to host a neighbor in need and no problem on extending. We all know how construction runs. Please do not hesitate to reach out should the need arise again and feel free to spread the word to neighbors in need. Sometimes, as much as we may like family and friends, they need their own "home base" and what better place than the Leucadia Place ;)
We chose this property as it’s outdoor space is substantial! It was close to the dog beach. Totally dog friendly. We highly recommend this property and we will definitely be back! Beautiful views of the setting sun -icing on the cake!

About the host
Hosted by Jason
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.

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.
