The house was beautiful and even bigger than the photos suggest. The neighborhood was quiet and very convenient to the beach and to coffee and shopping along PCH in Leucadia/Encinitas. They also have a wide variety of beach gear to borrow -- surfboards, boogie boards, toys, chairs, towels, and blankets. The host was very responsive and we had a fantastic time!

Cathy is an excellent host, and the property was even nicer than the photos. We had a couple of tiny hiccups with the A/C, but Cathy was on top of it right away to solve the issue. She not only took care of it, but also provided us with some good recommendations for places to eat and things to do while we were there. She even provided a couple of bicycles and beach equipment. The location is great for going to the beaches and the restaurants, too. Staying at Cathy's felt like staying with a trusted friend.

Beautiful home in a great location

The home was perfectly laid out and tastefully decorated with all of the amenities one would expect in their own home. Very comfortable inside and out with a great park a short walk away (great for kids). Located close to the beach and great restaurants. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others looking for a great place to stay.

We had a wonderful time, relaxing in the beautifully landscaped yard and cooking together in the gourmet kitchen! Perfect location, with lots of recommendations for nearby restaurants. Our college girlfriend reunion was enhanced by staying here. Would totally return to this gorgeous home.

Wonderful family reunion! The park nearby was perfect for our 2 year old granddaughter. The restaurants in the neighborhood were great but we had even more fun making meals at the house in the large kitchen and outside grill! Would definitely consider returning for another visit!

Leucadia Family Vacation

Beautiful and spacious home was perfect for a week's vacation with our daughter's family, including 5 and 8.5 year-old grandsons. Located down the street from a neighborhood park and a short drive from Moonlight Beach. Backyard gazebo was great setting for outdoor dining and board games. Easy access to San Diego area attractions.

Perfect House for Large Group

Perfect size house for a large group of people. The neighborhood is very quiet, but close to a lot of restaurants and stores. The house is stocked with almost everything you might need, including bikes and beach gear. The bedrooms allow for a lot of privacy which is great when you have a large group. The house is in great condition as well.
