About this property

Oceanfront Neptune Ave Home with stunning views.

Ocean breezes and the soothing sound of waves from the Pacific will melt all your cares away the moment you enter this beautiful bluff top retreat on Leucadia's premier street, Neptune Ave.

Located in the casual beach town of Encinitas within walking distance to unique restaurants, coffee shops, and local surf shops this 4bd/3ba home offers an open floor plan with expansive ocean views. Prepare dinner in the well equipped gourmet kitchen and dine al fresco or walk to the local winery, Solterra, for a delightful meal expertly paired with wine made on-site. Relax and unwind in the well appointed bedrooms after a day at the beach or bike ride on the historic Highway 101.

Watch dolphins, sea lions, and the occasional whale swim by from the comfortable oceanfront patio. Get your camera ready for stunning sunsets and to capture memories with family and friends around the outdoor fire pit. The palm tree shaded private courtyard is the ideal spot for a mid-day break with a good book.

Pack your flip-flops and get ready for a vacation to remember!

Birdhouse extended summer 2023 stay
We rented in late 2022 for a two month stay based on the VRBO listing showing AC, expecting a functional central AC. A week (!) before we arrived the host let us know that it was going to be portable window units in each of the three bedrooms instead. These were very problematic: several times they blew a fuse forcing us to search in a dark closet for the breaker box. They were installed in such a manner to leave all the exterior bedroom sliding glass doors open and therefore unsecure, which forced us to hide all electronics anytime we left. Finally, the exterior vent for a unit in one bedroom was 'jury rigged' and I was forced to repair frequently and had a very strong mold aroma when operating. When I complained, the host offered a refund if we found another spot, something literally impossible for a two month stay after we had already arrived. This was a very expensive rental and was not worth the price with these window units.

Great family vacation spot
This house was the perfect vacation stay for our family. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We loved being able to see the ocean and hear the waves. We saw dolphins swim by almost every day. This was a great location, close to beaches, restaurants, etc. Stacy was a great host and quick to respond if we had a question.

Beautiful property. Clean. We greatly enjoyed ourselves just sitting on the deck watching the ocean, dolphins, and pelicans. Feels very private, but so many restaurants and activities are close by.

Pictures don't do this property justice. The location and ocean views are amazing, the house and casita are comfortable and furnished with high end appliances, bedding, tiled showers, everything you could want. Our host was extraordinarily kind and immediately responded to all our questions, offering suggestions for restaurants, activities, etc. It was truly a luxury experience.

Bird House in Leucadia
Staci is a very gracious owner/host. As with any rental property there were minor questions. Staci responded to texts within a few minutes, and she stopped by to deal with questions in person. I’ve rented many beach homes in the Del Mar, Solana Beach, Leucadia area during past summers. Staci’s home was among the very best properties we’ve had the pleasure of leasing. The home was extremely clean and well-stocked. The view is spectacular. The location is great. As I told Staci, while it sounds odd there are two tests I have for whether a host offers a really great place (because, after all, you expect the place to deliver what the online description contains)…one is that all the sliding glass doors and screen doors actually work (they don’t in many expensive beach rentals because of the corrosive effects of the sea air), and the other is that the barbecue both works and is clean. Staci’s place scored on both counts. Meeting these two odd criteria showed that Staci takes care to maintain her property better than most. We’ll stay with her again.

Great beach house with for families with views.
The home was everything we hoped it would be. It was clean, comfortable and accommodated our family with older kids. From relaxing on the patio listening to the waves while enjoying the views, to the nice walks to the nearby shops, restaurants and beach this was the perfect spot for us this year.

Beautiful 180 view of Pacific
Renting and checkin was easy. The view is unsurpassed. The backyard could use some updating to make it safer. There are 2 cables along the pathway which have come out and it would be possible for a child to fall down the steep cliff. We didn’t allow our grandchild anywhere near obviously, but it felt like a security risk. The description of the rooms for sleeping are not clear. It could certainly not be considered a 4 bedroom house. There are 2 king beds, one in the main house and one in the casita. A curtain divided the casita room and there is a double bed there. The house has a bunk room. Perhaps 2 couples and a few children could be comfortable there. There wasn’t enough room for the 8 people we had planned on having. It was a very pricey rental for the available space. I would have it listed for 4-6 persons, 4 adults at most. The kitchen is equipped, but the cleaning could be better. You can’t count on using oils or spices like you might normally think you would have to use. We only cooked there twice out of 7 nights. If I do a beach stay like this again I will definitely check the accommodations out better. A week long beach stay is a very expensive proposition and I feel like the value wasn’t equal to what I paid. The view is amazing. The beaches are far from the property. You have to be willing to drive to the beach.

Perfect family setting
Property was exactly as promised. The view is breathtaking. We saw dolphins six of the eight days (!!) we were there, and the sight/sounds of the tide were soothing for even the youngest family member. (The Amtrak noise took some getting used to, but we adapted.) The house and casita were comfortable and well-equipped. There were plenty of boogie boards, chairs and umbrellas for beach trips. Best family vacation of our lives. (BTW, the owner was quick to respond to questions/issues. A couple of the window screens need attention, but that didn’t affect our comfort at all.) Fabulous property. We’d go back tomorrow if possible!

Slice of Heaven
Absolutely breathtaking views. Walking distance to many great restaurants/shops. Perfect stay. There was construction directly across the street the whole time and it was a bit of a nuisance and wasn’t brought to our attention before our stay. With that being said, the views were so incredible that we’d absolutely stay here again. Stacy and her husband were very responsive and accommodating.

Beautiful View, short walk to coffee, local restaurants and the beach
Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay at this cozy home with a beautiful view, a short walk to local coffee shop Pannikin that our teens enjoyed a daily visit to, as well as several delicious local restaurant within walking distance and a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed relaxing on the patio as much or more then even going down to the beach, but we visited in March when it was sometimes cool. Don't hesitate to book this for a relaxing trip to the coast and a beautiful ocean view!
