Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Leucadia, Encinitas

This was our second stay at Aaron’s Airbnb, and once again, it was perfect for our family — myself, my parents, and my two young kids. The home had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The kitchen was fully stocked, which made cooking meals easy, and the beds were super comfortable. Heating and cooling worked great, and everything was spotless when we arrived. We especially loved the private patio — such a great space to relax. The location is incredible: close to shops and restaurants, yet tucked away in a quiet area, and just one block from the beach. There were so many thoughtful extras, too, like beach chairs, toys, and board games that made the stay even more enjoyable. Aaron is a fantastic host — friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this Airbnb and can’t wait to come back!

I stayed at this Airbnb with my mom and our 3 dogs. It was very cozy and at such a great location. The front porch/grassy area was our (and the dogs) favorite spot to relax. A very quick walk to dog beach and some yummy breakfast spots (highly recommend Benedict’s). Overall very relaxing stay and we would return. Only downside was the neighbors fire alarm kept going off early in the morning but that’s out of everyone’s control; the bed is also very tall, may need a step stool if you’re short lol.

Staying at Nancy's place was a fantastic experience for my family, a family of four including two children. The house is beautiful and Nancy was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. The kitchen is very well equipped, the front and back yards are lovely to sit in. The only difficulty we encountered was that we didn't have longer to stay! We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.

5/5 stars. Enjoyed my stay here! It was easy to check in, the location was clean and quiet, and I enjoyed the jacuzzi. Also had a garage for you to park your vehicle. It is just a few blocks away from downtown ocean beach. This makes it walking distance from many restaurants and bars. In conclusion, good price, good deal, and I would recommend to anyone who is interested in having a nice time.

We had a fantastic stay here. The location was excellent—so close to the beach, coffee shops, and restaurants in both mission beach and pacific beach. We had 6 adults staying and didn’t feel cramped. We especially enjoyed sitting on the patio. We had no problem parking a Honda civic and Kia sportage side by side. The host was very responsive. Would definitely recommend!

Cozy home in a fun neighborhood with a beautiful outdoor space to enjoy the San Diego weather. It was a pleasure staying at Carrie's place!

Great location in Ocean Beach. Just a few short blocks to all the action, yet just removed from all the action. House is accurately described. Having a driveway and private parking spot is priceless in this neighborhood.

I'd recommend staying here to anyone who's wishing to just be out in San Diego and enjoy the weather and climate. With the bikes provided, and everything just around the corner you can easily navigate most of the surrounding areas to the beach or to restaurants by foot or bike.

Lisa has the most beautiful set up! We absolutely loved the spending time outside by the coy pond and the birds were really a unique touch. We had a wonderful time and Lisa has thought of everything! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cove!

Wonderful home and lovely amenities/views! We found everything comfortable and totally enjoyable too.

We stayed at Pete's place because it has a gorgeous pool (the pool slide was a huge hit), is close to Del Mar racetrack, and is close to the beach/ocean (you can see the ocean from the front yard). We took our two Bichons and felt safe and secure letting them out. We have family in San Diego and had a small family cook out on Sunday. The grill was awesome, and there are lots of fun things to do on the property, front and back yards. We didn't take advantage of the jacuzzi, but it was already heated up. Since the house doesn't have air conditioning, there were fans in the family room and bedroom. Large kitchen, so you can cook and bake if you don't want to eat out all the time. The house is single story, but outside there are lots of levels where you have to go up and down some single steps,so small children would need help and elderly or disabled folks may need help, too. Pete gave great directions about how to access the main entrance, and the self check-in security code.

We had such a great Spring Break stay at Tamarack Palms with our two young kids and our pup. The yard and heated pool were the stars—our kids were thrilled to have so much space to play, and even though the weather was cool, the heated pool made it easy to enjoy time outside every day. The location was ideal—peaceful, family-friendly neighborhood and just minutes from the beach, Carlsbad Village, and essentials like Von’s. It made daily outings and grocery runs super convenient. Inside, the home was clean, stylish, and well laid out. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms were perfect for our family, and having a washer and dryer made the whole trip easier. The main living space is cozy but functional, and we felt right at home. Our host was fantastic—responsive, friendly, and accommodating. It’s clear a lot of care goes into making guests feel welcome. No negatives at all—just a peaceful, well-located family stay. We’d absolutely stay again.

House was clean and comfortable. Check in and check out went smoothly. Communication was great with the owner. Perfectly accommodated our family and location was great. We loved that Better Buzz was within walking distance for a coffee! Grocery store and restaurants also close by. Would highly recommend this rental!

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The host was responsive to any questions we had. The home was clean and accommodating. There were great features in the home including generous offerings of subscription services such as TV, music and video games. The host is also generous with pool and hot tub heating at our discretion and leisure up until quiet hours. The pool and hot tub and cabana were clean and made our stay very fun. Another great feature of this home is the overall vibe and vinyl records and whole house Sonos. The home is nicely equipped with lots of towels, full kitchen, games, and even a puzzle with all the pieces! The home is private. We were also able to walk to restaurants and coffee shops. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay at this location again and plan to look at other options offered by this host.

Our family had the best stay at Bruce’s place. It’s a beautifully maintained property and so relaxing yet many activities to do! The kids loved the pool and ping pong tables, the fire pit for s’mores, pool, but especially the “outdoor living room” with a tv to watch movies or listen to music. We can’t wait to return! It’s a great property that is perfect for large groups- from families, bachelors or bachelorette parties, girls get away, etc.

Very much enjoyed staying here! Nice and clean space, and host was great! Loved being in the heart of Pacific Beach!

We had an awesome stay at Rich and Adrienne’s cozy place with 2 young kids. The house was super well organized and very clean. We were able to find everything we needed. The beds were very comfy, with good quality sheets, towels were good quality too. Rich and Adrienne live right next door but the place felt very private. Easy walk to the beach, and a short walk to really nice restaurants. Outdoor shower was great when walking back from the beach. Even though the weather was foggy during our stay, we still were able to enjoy OB and had a great time!

I stayed in Gabe's Airbnb with 5 of my cousins for a week! The location was great - Trader Joe's and a cute bagel/coffee shop was literally a 5 minute walk from the house. We made multiple trips throughout the week. Gabe was super helpful and responsive when anything happened. We did get locked out somehow one time, and he was able to get us in and resolve the issue within 10 minutes through his Ring camera. The fridge and kitchen were stocked well and we were able to use the stove without problems. The one thing I will mention is the living room area is a bit smaller than I expected. It was difficult for all 6 of us to sit at the same time to watch a movie or play games, but we all had more than enough space for sleeping, and to store our belongings. The hot tub was definitely a huge highlight of the place! It is shared with the neighbors but they were never using it while we were there!

Here's a possible Airbnb review: This hidden villa was a fantastic find! The location was perfect – close to all the best that San Diego has to offer. We were able to easily explore the city's attractions and restaurants. The enclosed yard was private and relaxing. And the swing? It was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventures. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in SD!"

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The host was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to accommodate all of our requests. The place itself was exactly as described—comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. It made our trip so much easier and enjoyable. I highly recommend staying here and would definitely will book again for our future family plans and celebrations again. Thank you so much, Gregory! I appreciate your warm response everytime to my inquiries.

We have stayed with Lisa multiple times in the past year. It’s like a home away from home. Very easy to get to and convenient to visiting friends and family. Very quiet neighborhood and cozy place inside.

This was a great place to stay. The backyard was a great hang out spot and the location is prime. Also the bedding and pillows felt really nice and expensive!

We had an amazing little staycation over the weekend at the Violet Oasis. Extremely clean, the bed was so comfy we never wanted to leave, both parking locations easy to find and Elizabeth and Paola were super responsive. Rather than feel like we were staying at an Airbnb it felt like staying over at a friend’s place. Their passion responding to their guests, making them feel at home and providing information on what to do in the area really shows in this listing. We will be back!

We were in town for medical reasons and Kitty was so nice to accommodate a flexible check out time for us, which we really appreciated! She was very friendly and also gave us privacy. The private back yard that opened directly off the bedroom was perfect, our dog was able to run around and play fetch and we enjoyed the sunny deck. Her dog was also very friendly and we let the dogs play together and they had a blast. The location was excellent, very walkable to shops, grocery store, coffee, etc. It is close to the freeway, but that didn’t bother us, it was audible but out of view and her backyard felt like an oasis in a bustling cute neighborhood. The bed and pillows were super comfortable, bathroom was clean, room was spacious and stocked with essentials, and she had thoughtful touches for dogs - beach towel, throw blanket for bed, recommendations for dog friendly beaches and parks etc. We would definitely stay again!
