Located in charming Leucadia (a section of Encinitas, California), this very private vacation rental consists of a living room with comfortable queen-sized sofa sleeper and a closet, a nicely appointed bedroom and a beautiful bathroom, plus outdoor living areas and an OUTDOOR kitchen that have features our guests love.
From the living room, there are French doors that open to the only kitchen, which is OUTDOORS. There is also a door to a hallway that separates the living room, the bedroom and the bathroom, so both areas have complete privacy. The bedroom has French doors that open to the outdoor kitchen, too, so both the kitchen and living room with sofa bed can be separately accessed to and from the outdoor living and kitchen areas.
The outdoor kitchen is mostly "covered." This kitchen is well-equipped for almost any kind of cooking method: frying, baking, broiling, grilling, microwaving, crock-potting or doing things stovetop.
The outdoor, flagstone living area is bordered by flowers and artificial grass, frequented by hummingbirds and has an outdoor fireplace with hearth.
Your spaces are part of a residence and have a separate entrance. There are no stairs, except for the ones to your ocean-view deck. It is private and apart from the owners' quarters.
Enjoy warming around, lounging and dining by the fireplace with a outdoor wicker sectional and cushions. Or go up to your ocean-view deck and enjoy the sunset, work at the table or read a book. The kitchen counter area is all under cover, as is the granite breakfast bar that runs parallel to it. Dice at the counter, pour something from the refrigerator, scoop something from the freezer and serve at the bar. (Also next to the kitchen, there is a warm water rinse-off shower for after the beach!)
PETS ARE ALLOWED BUT MUST BE WELL-BEHAVED. If they have separation anxiety which results in howling, barking, chewing, wetting, etc., they cannot be left alone for more than one half hour. Thank you!
This quiet street has easy freeway access, walking distance to a grocery store, restaurants and shops. Several beach outlets available and within walking distance.

Thank you so much! You’ve been an amazing guest! It is heart warming and satisfying to have our efforts pay off as hosts. So happy you could get some bigger waves in too!

The place was great and quiet. Perfect for traveling with our 2 dogs. The host, Sheryl, was very communicative and helpful. Wish it was walking distance to the dog beach but Del Mar wasn’t a far drive.

We were very impressed with this lovely property! Close proximity to the beach and to downtown Leucadia. Many shops, delicious restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries. The hosts, Sheryl and Bob, were communicative and friendly. When in the area again, I will definitely put this at the top of my list of places to stay!

I had a great stay here this summer. The hosts are lovely and thoughtful, the place is comfy and low-maintenance, and the location is fabulous: one block from the beach, and one block from the main drag with great restaurants and shops.
If you’re looking for a beach getaway, you couldn’t do better….

Thank you so much!!! We really appreciate someone taking the time to write a review. It was a treat having you stay in our home. Best wishes on the progress for building your new home. ~ Sheryl and Bob
Our stay was such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Sheryl and Bob have created an extremely welcoming space with a secluded patio surrounded by all types of florals and in walking distance to the ocean, restaurants, shops, bars, ect. We felt rested and rejuvenated following our stay and hope to return in the future!
I'm was very impressed with this property! It was well thought out and put together nicely. The people renting it were a lovely couple and very accommodating.
Sheryl and Bob were incredible hosts and they offered an amazing stay. My girlfriend, dog, and I went down to Encinitas for a week to surf and couldn’t have asked for more. The bnb is very spacious with its layout and outdoor kitchen and was perfect for a little guy to run around and feel comfortable. Being on the ground floor allowed us to stay cool and the AC in the unit helped us moderate our temperature. The location of the unit couldn’t be beat - split right between Beacons and Grandview and less than a 10 min walk either way. Sheryl and Bob were also incredible to work with and super nice. If this unit was for rent I’d move right in lol. Couldn’t recommend this bnb enough - thanks Sheryl and Bob!

You are so sweet. Thank you so much. We enjoyed having you here so much and hope you can come again sometime. Best wishes to you, Mumford and your parents.
Sheryl was great, she communicated quickly and even gave us some great recommendations for places to eat and go. The location was awesome and they had body boards and items to use at the beach.

Thank you so much! It’s fun for us to see guests enjoy our rental and take full advantage of all it offers.
Couldn’t have asked for a better place. Sheryl was a gracious and thoughtful host. The place and garden was serene. The location was perfect for walking, dining and beach going. I would definitely stay again.
Great place and location. Just a short walk from the beach. Easy to get around Leucadia and Encinitas. Very neat and tidy place, the outdoor living area was just what we (and our dog!) needed.
Sheryl and Bob were very welcoming and nice! Thank you for letting us stay at your place!

We used this property to work, visit relatives, and enjoy nice ocean view walks. Sheryl is very communicative and responsive. Restaurants and groceries are walkable too. We will consider this location for future visits.

So happy it worked out as a pleasant stay for you. Thank you so much for your review. It means a lot that you took the time to write it.

Owners on site, very accommodating. Small backyard with fireplace and comfortable seating. Fully equipped outdoor kitchen and BBQ.
Restaurants and beach are short walks. Sunsets at beach overlook are a must.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Mar, 2021
Thank you so much! We really liked having you here, too.
Listing accurately describes the property. The backyard is beautiful. Having private access to an upper deck was a plus (partial view of the Pacific). We enjoyed the backyard fireplace mornings and evenings. I was a bit anxious at the thought of an outdoor kitchen but it worked for us. Only a short walk on Neptune Avenue to two beach accesses (Beacon & Grandview). Off-street parking was a must for us. Peachy's Market (fresh produce), which we visited on a regular basis, was right down the street. Restaurants & coffee shops were within walking distance. Communication with Sheryl and Bob was easy. This was our first stay but we hope to be back again.

About the host
Hosted by Sheryl and Bob Chase
Sheryl is a Real Estate Broker in the North Coastal area of San Diego County and Bob is mostly retired after many years in the corporate high-tech world and most recently as a Realtor. Bob and Sheryl have lived west of the 101 since 1990 and also now rent out a portion of their home that has a separate entrance for guests. They always enjoy meeting their guests and especially appreciate to hear from them on how much they're enjoying My Beach Stay and the neighborhood's lifestyle. "Our rental has so much to offer and it's nice to see our guests use it to its full advantage."
Why they chose this property
"People that stay here love the outdoor/indoor living in the Old California feel of Leucadia. Our yard, the birds and flowers, are a peaceful way to wake up and to unwind after a day out and about. The newer kitchen has just about everything! Not to mention, romantic dimmable lighting and a beautiful granite breakfast bar. And the stone fireplace outdoors is very cozy when lit with comfortable seating surrounding it. The bathroom is updated and roomy. All in all, it's very different from most beach rentals. Clean and inviting.
Starting in 2005, we offered just a bedroom and bathroom with no kitchen and, and not through VRBO. In 2010, we added the covered outdoor kitchen so our guests could spend more time here and we upgraded the bathroom. No matter what time of year, My Beach Stay gets used by couples, singles and families for even longer stays. In about 2017, we added a living room a daybed to the rental. In 2019, we upgraded the floors to luxury plank vinyl; in 2020 we purchased new outdoor furniture for the sitting area in front of the fireplace outdoors. In December of 2021, we invested into a whole-house water filter system, which means every faucet in the home offers filtered water. In February of 2022, we added a new Pottery Barn, very comfortable, high-end sofa bed in the living room. Little by little, we've tried to make this vacation rental more luxurious, but also easy for our guests.
VRBO has granted us the designation of Premier Hosts because of our multiple excellent reviews and our response time. We communicate well and are there for our guests when they need us, while at the same time give them perfect privacy."
What makes this property unique
The opportunity to be at one with nature in the backyard. The kitchen is outdoors. A second living area is outdoors. A yard with artificial grass. Good storage. Privacy. We owners are usually on-site, but give our guests complete privacy. Please read our reviews for why people love My Beach Stay.
