Ocean Front Beacons Beach, Amazing View, Surfboard

Beach is Open!

Beautiful Leucadia Townhome with Amazing 180 degree Ocean View, parking, laundry, beach accessories, surfboards, and Steps to Beacon's Beach Access.

We are pet friendly with pre approval and a pet fee of $150 per pet

A perfect relaxing beach retreat with an AMAZING Ocean View. The oceanfront town home has 2 very large bedrooms, 2 baths and is just across Neptune from the Bluff and stairs to Beacon's beach. The upstairs town home is perfect for families or a group of friends. The oceanfront home, has just been completely remodeled inside and out and has an updated look along with the character for which Encinitas is famous.

Notice: The beach access trail for Beacon's is Open!!

Included are 2 private parking spots, 2 soft surfboards, boogie boards, beach chairs, and beach toys. Just arrive and you are ready for a wonderful day at the Beacon's beach. The bedrooms are well acquainted with king beds and matching bedroom sets. For larger groups, we have two convertible futons, each with sheet and comforter set. The entire home is very nicely furnished and well outfitted.

We are available to guests 24/7 for emergencies and 8am to 8pm for issues with amenities.

The area is the quintessential 1960's beach town, with modern splashes of luxury and tons of eclectic soul. The home is just 50 feet from the stunning cliffs the boast views of the entire coastline, and the stairs that lead down to world class, Beacons Beach. The home is also just blocks away from several great places to eat or have a drink.

It is a short walk to Coast Hwy where you will find unique boutiques, mouth watering Mexican food, local coffee houses, antique stores, a new and used record store, and so much more! Stroll down a little further on the weekends and stop by the Seaside Bazaar, North County's only open-air market. At night, enjoy home cooking in your oceanfront rental, or check out one of the local neighborhood restaurants such as Calypso cafe, a small place serving up great food with local bands playing every night. Or maybe you would enjoy Bar Leucadian, a neighborhood bar that has been there since 1946, and has live music, pool tables, and no cover charge!

Historic Coast Highway also just blocks away, is home to trendy restaurants, chic boutiques and art studios - great for walking around in the sunshine. The Old Coast Highway continues south through Old Encinitas, through the heart of our lost-in-time 'old downtown' - right past Swami's Beach. Legoland is only a 10 min drive (about 6 miles) and we are about a 30 min drive to Sea World and the San Diego International Airport. The San Diego Botanical Gardens are 2.5 miles away and is a very beautiful place to visit.
Beacon's is still a 'surfer's heaven' where you can watch the greatest surfers in the world practice their skills every day.

We are just a 6 min drive to legoland and about a 30 min drive to Sea World and Lindberg Field.

This property is amazing. The 180 Degree view of the Ocean as well as the wonderful sunsets make this property very special. We are just across the street from Beacon's Beach Access. As such we are within ear shot of the Amtrak train. It doesn't bother most guests but we are installing sound proof windows for our Very light sleepers. Most of our guests say that a fan is enough not to hear the train.

I had a conference to attend in Carlsbad and thought it would be more fun to take the family on a quick vacation than stay solo in the hotel. It was great! I love Encinitas and this particular neighborhood was peaceful and relaxed.

Great location with an awesome view. We very much enjoyed the beach equipment the property made available to us, particularly the bodyboards. It's hard to find space for equipment like that while travelling so having it available from the rental was very convenient.

Great place to stay
This place was exactly like stated in the website. The property was right across the small one way street from the beach. It had a view of the ocean. The space was large and the kitchen had updated appliances. The only thing I would suggest is to bring your own shampoo, conditioner and bar soap. There were lots of beach toys for our two grandchildren to take to the beach. The downstairs outside shower was perfect for removing sand before entering the condo. We also went to Disneyland which was a little over an hour away but not a bad drive. Overall it was a great stay.

Lovely space
This property is excellent, the rooms are large and clean, furniture is comfortable, kitchen pretty well stocked. Sunsets off the balcony are awesome. In all honesty, however, it should be noted that the stairs are very steep to reach the second floor and there is a train that runs nearby by about every half hour that blows its horn. That starts around 5:20AM til late. It didn't bother me, but it did my husband. Just be prepared. Perfect spot if you like to surf, run, bike, etc.

Better than advertised, spacious, bright, and well located
This place is a gem. It’s located in a quiet high end neighborhood across the street from a small beach parking lot, so there are no houses blocking the view of the ocean from this second floor apartment. Big rooms, well equipped kitchen, and second floor deck with sweeping water views. Close to shops and Pannikin coffee. This apartment is up a flight and a half of stairs. Also the beach access across the street is currently closed due to storm damage, but there’s another about a mile away, and lots by car. Several reviews mentioned trains, here’s the deal: Encinitas has a train track that runs the length of town about 1000 feet from the water. If you’re near the water, you’re near the train. In this place you can hear the train, but it’s not like it’s shaking the house. Be aware some of the other places we looked at are directly overlooking the tracks, so you might want to ask. Overall great place, we’ll be back.

Perfect place for a family getaway
Richard's property was perfect for our 4-night stay in San Diego. The location could not be better: steps from the beach, and walking distance to many restaurants and bars. The apartment itself was as described. Two very spacious bedrooms, each with some sort of ocean view. The living area and the kitchen are great. The bathrooms are great, too; just big enough, and the water pressure in the shower was outstanding. The apartment was super-clean on arrival, and everything was in working order (the fridge is big and works perfectly, we used the dishwasher every night, the heater worked well, etc.) If anything, I would say add a few wine glasses (there were only two available). Communication with the owner was almost instant, and always satisfactory. I would absolutely stay here again.

Perfection at the beach!
We loved staying in this cute condo. Amazing views of the beautiful sunset. Condo is clean, comfortable and has everything you need for a great beach trip. My boys loved trying the surf boards provided. The kitchen was stocked with all the basics needed. Quiet area but just across the street from beach access. Only note ( which wasn’t an issue for us) this is a top unit and has all fairly steep stairway to get into unit. If you plan to do laundry you will need quarters for the machines. Not in the unit but right downstairs. Owner was very responsive and great to work with. We will be back for sure! Easy parking but you can walk just about everywhere. We have stayed at many VRBOs and I was very impressed with this one.

Disappointment
2 Adult couples. Day 2, one person started having severe respiratory issues. Sneezing, coughing and runny nose. Day 3 another guest developed similar respiratory issues. Day 4, another guest developing severe respiratory issues enduring sleepless nights. And our 4 th guest developed A scratchy throat and congestion on our 6 th day. We all experienced “COVID” like symptoms. We tested for COVID. All negative results. Cause of all guests getting sick? Very old and shabby carpet in Bedrooms. But the main problem was the floor mounted air conditioners. Master bedroom had NO Windows that could be opened. So, AC was required To get air movement. Units are old and I surmise that The filters in the units have NEVER been changed. Each bedroom had a unit and the living area as well. Poor ventilation required the units to be running in all rooms. Unit was right across the street from the beach. Damp conditions create mold and mold can be a large irritant. My symptoms ceased getting worse when we stopped using AC in master bedroom on day 5. We departed the unit 9 am on Saturday and still Monday Night symptoms are still a problem. I find it impossible to believe that these issues have not shown themselves with other guests. In addition, the picture in the advertising was likely taken 10-15 years ago. The place is shabby. And all guests got sick. I never write reviews but this place inspired me!

Great locations with some setbacks.
This is an interesting place. The location is perfect- right across the street from Beacon’s, a favourite of ours. Perfect for my surf husband who could get out for a surf during breakfast. We walked to Coffee Coffee daily and enjoyed Nectarine Grove for dinner. It’s so quick to drive anywhere and getting on the highway was so fast. The sunset views are amazing, and watching the sun go down every night was breathtaking. The beds were terrible. Every time you move the springs bounce and squeak. This would be such a quick fix- even a mattress topper would help! I wasn’t ok with the carpets in the bedroom. Our toddler, who slept on a cot got bit on the face three times while she slept. Allowing pets is nice (we flew but we do own pets back home) but then there shouldn’t be carpets. I was worried about anything touching the floor. The carpets were knarly. The two baths were great for the kiddos, though. THe only thing was the one bathroom fan is excruciatingly loud. Again- this would be quick fix. The deal breaker for me was having to do laundry in the laundry-mat in the basement. We come to Encinitas every year, and have stayed in homes all over the world. We always have laundry in the actual unit. To have to travel down the stairs and go outside to do laundry was weird….but to have to pay for it over and above the fee for the unit was also strange. The “laundry room” was filthy. The change machine was picky about the bills it broke. I found the whole laundry situation stressful. Property managers were great to work with. Prompt and quick to help. Hopefully these tips can make it even better for future guests.
