About this property

Private, vintage, 2bd, 2ba, third 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 bit of both as well. 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 amazing sunsets!

Now with Autel 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 the place suits you.

A rare and unique quality of this vacation rental is that IT IS dog/cat FRIENDLY and has no size restrictions. BUT please pay the pet fee and let me know so I can set up for your furry friend(s). If your fur-ball tears up things, it happens, but please be upfront and accommodate repairs/replacement of damages.

If it appears unavailable for part of your trip, though the calendar may appear blocked, the place could still be available, please ask. I travel often and also pace guests to ensure the best experience for all my arrivals but will open days up if available.

the Leucadia Place is west of interstate 5 and east of coast highway, on the hill facing the ocean. It is a perfect spot for a seasonal track rental or just weekend stay! Summer season is upon us so check the calendar and book early.

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 2026 track season, ask ASAP. 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. No parking fees, no resort fees, 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 firm trundle underneath as well. Second bathroom is in the hallway.

Two outdoor decks are great locations for afternoon lunches and evening sunsets.

The home is fully furnished with stocked full kitchen, full laundry and hypoallergenic body wash, shampoo and conditioner in the showers.

Pets are no problem; just be aware that with the size of the lot and the rural-ness surrounding property, skunks, opossums and raccoons have been seen from time to time.

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

Weekly/bi-weekly cleaning available upon request.

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

We had such a great stay here. The property is absolutely beautiful and serene!! Ocean views, lush tropical landscaping, and citrus fruit trees all throughout. Honestly, it felt like staying in a private botanical garden… literally 25 species of plants & trees to enjoy! Birds chirping, all around good vibes! Everything was also extremely clean and well cared for, which made the stay even more comfortable. The house has so much charm with updated interiors that felt really cozy and homey. The bedding and pillows were incredibly comfortable too, I even emailed the host asking for the specifics to bring into my own home. We slept great the entire stay. A literal dream for 3 nights. The location was perfect and super walkable while still feeling peaceful, safe, and private. The property is also very dog friendly, which was nice to see even though we didn’t bring one ourselves. The host was so nice & accommodating, communication was great for check in and they left fresh flowers and a cute chalkboard welcome message for us when we arrived. You can tell a lot of care goes into this place. Would absolutely stay again, in fact I’m looking to book again before the year ends. We love San Diego, & specifically this quaint area.

We absolutely loved our stay here! Our host Jason was incredibly on top of things--from communicating well with us, to stocking the kitchen, to providing a thoughtful and well curated stay. The beds were very comfortable and the place had all the things we needed. The location was great as well, private but walkable to some good places to eat. The property itself is beautiful with lots of fruit trees. We will definitely be back to stay here when we are in town, and we would recommend this place to anyone else looking for a great little place in Leucadia!

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!

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.

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.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Jason

Host profile image
There is a reason San Diego has been home for over 4 decades and the Leucadia place exemplifies a unique slice of old north county. As you join for your stay, you will discover why. Having known this property for over 26 years it is exciting to share its charms and quirks as there are few spaces like this that still exist. It’s a home that you'll enjoy your time at and come back again and again.

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

Why they chose this property

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 my spot. As with all old homes, it is a work in progress but has so much to offer as is.

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 decks. Coffee on the porch and cocktails on the back deck.

Leucadia itself is an up and coming area and from the Leucadia Place 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 as you stay here, 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 new and old San Diego. Great bars, restaurants, surf spots and chill vibes. Its just a nice tempo.
