Perfect Getaway
My partner and I stayed for two nights with our two dogs. We were able to enjoy the whole property and loved that the pool was completely private. It was the perfect little getaway to celebrate our anniversary. We also appreciated that Jason and Denise were very communicative. Would highly recommend this property!

Super clean and pet friendly
This place is fantastic! It’s in a safe neighborhood, close to the beach, pet friendly, very comfortable, fairly priced, and exceptionally clean. What more could you want? We stayed over a month with a dog and cat and loved every minute of it. Thanks Jason and Denise for sharing this wonderful home with us!

About the host

Hosted by Jason Kouchacji

Host profile image
Hi fellow Vrbo'r,

My name is Jason. I grew up in Leucadia, a coastal community in the city of Encinitas, where I surfed the beaches of Beacons, Grandview, and Stone Steps. Having explored the entire San Diego coastline, I believe Leucadia captures the quintessential laid-back beach lifestyle.

My love for travel has taken me all over the world, and I always choose short-term rentals for lodging and meeting locals. The wonderful experiences and friendships I've made with hosts inspired me to start hosting myself.

Recently, I joined Vrbo as a host, dedicating many months to remodeling my space to reflect Leucadia's beach vibe. I look forward to sharing this special place with guests and growing within the Vrbo hosting community.

Why they chose this property

Location! Location! Location! Leucadia is a funky, friendly beach community with a decidedly casual, laid-back vibe—even by san diego standards. It's a very sought-after neighborhood of Leucadia, a town in the city of Encinitas, with multi-million dollar homes but with a down-to-earth beach vibe and just a short walk to many unique restaurants, markets, and beautiful beaches with super surf spots. Only a 28-minute drive to downtown San Diego or a 17-minute drive to Oceanside.

What makes this property unique

This is my family home. Very few homes in Encinitas have both a pool and this much space. Leucadia is a little slice of heaven that we've enjoyed for many years, and sharing that experience with our guests is a true pleasure. The remodel captures the essence of Leucadia's funky, eclectic style and surfing spirit.
