Kick back at our classic Leucadia beach cottage! You will feel like a local, within walking distance to popular surf spots (Beacons and Grandview) and the iconic coffee shops and restaurants on PCH 101. We're located in the heart of Leucadia, but driving distance to all the popular tourist destinations that San Diego has to offer. Our beach cottage offers ocean and sunset views, a rooftop deck, patio dining, comfy beds, fully stocked kitchen, and nooks for reading, working, or relaxing.

Good to know

It makes us so happy to share this funky space. Originally a one bedroom beach bungalow, the home has had many additions over the years. With 3 bedrooms and a 4th bonus sleeping porch/sunroom, we can comfortably sleep 8. Each level has one full bath, and the downstairs back bedroom has an additional 1/2 bath. Most guests head straight up to the rooftop deck to enjoy a 360 degree view. A perfect spot to catch the sunset, check the waves, soak up some rays, or star gaze! The house offers many nooks with seating to read, work, or relax with a beverage while enjoying the view and sea breezes. San Diego's temperate weather allows us to take advantage of the fresh ocean air to cool us down on hot summer days, and we bundle up in sweatshirts and slippers to stay warm in cooler months. We do provide fans, air conditioner. space heaters, throws and heated blankets. The kitchen is fully stocked and the dining table expands to seat eight. The back patio has a dining table, gas bbq, table for dining and outdoor shower for rinsing off the salt and sand after a day at the beach! Park in the single car garage and one additional driveway space, or in front of the house where street parking is free. We offer 4 beach/camp chairs and 4 bikes for you to enjoy.

Other Details to Note

This home is an original Neptune beach cottage. We believe it was built around 1941. With that comes charm but also the squeaks and quirks of an older home. A few things we want you to know before you come: -Please note there is no air conditioning or heat. -A few of the outlets do not work. We’ve covered those outlets for you. -When 2 or 3 heating devices are plugged in in the bedrooms, you may blow a fuse. The fuse box is in the garage. -Lastly, if it rains hard there are a few leaks. They are in the sunroom and covered front porch and not near any beds or furniture. We may ask permission to come in and place some buckets and towels if you happen to hit a rainy day. We love this space and the history and love it is filled with, but we know an older home is not for everyone. We want to be transparent about what to expect. Don’t hesitate to ask us about anything.

Jason’s home is a real gem right by the ocean. It has everything you could want from the always appreciated fully stocked kitchen to an amazing rooftop terrace and beautiful backyard that is fully enclosed if you have pets. It’s an easy walk to some awesome restaurants and coffee shops as well as walking distance to two beaches. Jason and his crew thought of everything! They can accommodate lots of guests but even a family of four felt right at home and were able to spread out and give teens their needed space. We love the laid back vibe and walkability of Encinitas and this is the perfect launch pad to enjoy this cool beach town!
