About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private, vintage 2bd/2ba, 1/3 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 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 beautiful sunsets too!

Coming soon (mid-2025) 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 our place suits you. A rare and unique quality of a vacation rental is that WE ARE dog/cat FRIENDLY and have no size restrictions but please pay the pet fee and let us know so we can set up. If you're fur-ball tears up the things, it happens, but we expect you to be upfront about it and accommodate repairs/replacement.

Does the calendar look booked? Please ask about availability, though the calendar appear blocked, the place may still be available. We are pacing guests.

West of interstate 5 and east of coast highway, we are perfect for a seasonal track rental or a weekend stay! Summer season is on, Bing Crosby season is November 3-28! 15% discount on 28+ day stay!

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 2024 track season, ask ASAP for an inclusive monthly rate. 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 but with no parking fees, no resort fees, and 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 select comfort upper mattress and a firm trundle underneath.

We are fully furnished with a full kitchen, full laundry, equipped for a quick get away or long unplug. Its a beautiful and rustic home sitting on a large lot, with orange, lemon, grapefruit trees and lots of space.

Bringing a four legged friend? No problem. Just know that with the size of the lot and rural surrounding properties, skunks, opossums and raccoons have been seen from time to time.

A large outdoor deck is great for afternoon lunches and evening sunsets.

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

Weekly/bi-weekly cleaning available at an extra charge.

West of interstate 5 and just east of Coast Highway 101. 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 2022 track season, ask us ASAP for an inclusive monthly rate. The dates may be blocked for this opportunity.

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!

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!

Took a short three day trip and found this amazing property on orbits. Honestly I did not know orbits rented entire homes! The owner of this property was easily the best property owner I have ever dealt with and i have rented many vacation homes. The house is beyond amazing and in a great area! My trip was a nightmare but only because of my turo rental. The owner helped me out when the vehicle broke down in the nearby mall, and offered to take me and pick up w battery for the rental! Incredibly thankful and happy I picked this property! I plan to stay at his rental again in the future and would suggest you DO NOT pass up on this property!! You will thank me later! Thank you for creating such an amazing space for people to stay on their vacations!

Jason & Lilly are great hosts! They communicated with me to make sure our stay was enjoyable...& it was! Jason happened to be at the house when we arrived & gave us a little history about the house.
