Wife & I & our 2 small dogs visited here last week! Absolutely love this boutique spot! We called and spoke to Mark & Catherine greeted us while there! I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed this beautiful beachside town and the LBI was great value for the location, the rooms, albiet small, were spot-on perfect, with a stove, fridge, comfy bed and great shower! The cleaning staff were also, so friendly and courteous...we will back very soon! I again, cannot recommend this beautiful motel enough... it's a 10 out of 10, and we have travelled the globe!!! 1 point, bring your BBQ food as well...we didn't, but were envious of other guests grilling steaks!

Leucadia Beach Inn has a strategic location. It is close to the beach, numerous restaurants and coffee shops. The staff were very nice. The room was very clean and spacious. It had kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator, small burner, coffee maker, kitchen utensils and cookware.we had dining table and chairs. Towels were provided too. The bed was very comfortable. The decor and the light blue color of the room gave a pleasant beachy vibes. The bathroom was very clean. They have small parking spots but street parking is available. They have comfortable chairs and chaise lounge outside with tables next to every room. They printed the instructions for room service and left it on the dining table, in case if the customers need certain service. Overall, we had great experience at Leucadia Beach Inn.We are planning to come back for sure. read more

We had a very nice stay here. It was quiet , I felt very safe and most important CLEAN!!! Very clean with comphy beds . The man at the desk runs a "tight ship". The place is retro but it's perfect for a slouchy beach town! I would stay again. read more

I absolutely adored this homey feel Inn!! My fiancé wanted to book at Hilton, I decided if I wanted a vacation feel; I had to pick a cozy looking inn with a kitchen so I would be able to cook my own breakfast. This was a very walkable place. I enjoyed all the scenery the beach is 4 blocks up the way. Lots of restaurants, a fresh produce market next door & plenty of coffee shops. I would recommend this place to any one who is visiting Encinitas. read more

This was our 2nd time coming here and it's the perfect little getaway! This place was built in 1920 that gives an old school charm and the rooms are very quaint! I recommend booking directly through them and supporting local businesses. Our room had a mini refrigerator, stove top, microwave, coffee pot and dish ware, silverware and more. This place has it all! It's located near 2 beaches and next door is a little market with fresh vegetables and fruit, local honey and much more. You can also walk to restaurants, shops and more. If you happen to be there on a Sunday morning make sure to hit up the local farmers market. Thank you again for a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back! read more

A charming small business. I loved my room in the back with a kitchenette--very cozy. There were a few chips here and there that should be fixed before the high season, but I was very happy with my stay. The location is great with a small grocery/produce store next door and 2 coffee spots within a block.The one thing is that they need a wood dowel or something similar to secure the sliding windows at night.The fresh air is great, but a little worrisome being on the first floor. read more

What a cute little old world motel. Spanish style exterior meets beach chill. They've done a nice job with flowers and little touches in the parking lot area and Mark, the manager, went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and to see that our room was what we needed. Owners of this hotel, your fortunate to have Mark. And no, he didn't ask me to say that... Highly recommended. read more

Location is amazing! You are right off the main highway by the ocean and we were able to get our event in Encinitas super fast! Parking was easy and right in front of our room and it's hard to get quality parking by any beach spots! One parking spot is included in your stay. Mark showed us around and made sure we were taken care of! The room was clean and the price was a great value! The size of the room was great because we didn't feel squished in at all. The next morning we walked next door for amazing coffee and breakfast. We really appreciated using the little kitchenette for having a snack the night before. read more

I love this hidden gem and have stayed here a few times. Quiet, clean, great location. Cute property and I do love it here. The employees are super nice. I have to say, I was not too thrilled with the room we have this time. Super hot! Tiny air conditioner that was loud but barely cool. No ceiling fan in the room which would've helped tremendously! I did go to the office and they lent us a box fan. That made it bare able. Lastly, the bed was soft but felt and sounded like it was going to collapse. I hope they check it out and get a new one. I would stay again but make sure not to get that particular room again. read more

Was here for two nights and the location is definitely 5-stars, the rooms are quaint, but cute with a nice kitchenette and the service is definitely 5-stars. So why the 3-star review? Well-the hot water heater wasn't working properly during my stay so really couldn't take a proper shower. Also to no fault of the hotel, the road was being paved while I was staying; they left a letter in the room, but I was out all day, so when I got back home...figuring out parking was a bit of a nightmare. All in all, I think this is a solid motel-y beach-y stay; I feel like I just got a bit unlucky with the specific circumstances. You'll probably do better than I did! read more

Nice room and accommodations very clean. Nice location. The owner is very nice and was very attentive and accommodating building issues at parking is a challenge. We stayed tonight and it was a nice comfortable stay read more

Stayed here for our anniversary this year. Room was very very clean. Spanish tile on the floors. The heavy wood door was beautiful. The room felt like home. Bed was very comfy. Area was very quiet at night. We were surprised by this. Also, eating within walking distance. We will be back. read more

Ok place. Very basic. Bed was comfortable . We got 2 small bottles of shampoo, no conditioner, towels and wash cloths thin and staff sometimes replaces them if you gather dirty ones up and put outside your door. Staff ok, you must be VERY QUIET after 8pm or condescending/rude guy will call you out. Even if you accidentally drop something or slam a car door. Not close to beach, you walk 4-5 blocks to get to an actual area that will take you to the water. read more

Great little bungalow for a few days of R&R. The manager was warm and welcoming. I love the seats set out front of each room, so we can sit out and read. The set up makes me feel like I'm in the 1950's! read more

Leucadia beach inn was the perfect place for a socially distant vacation. The rooms have a fridge, a stove, and a kitchen table. The manager was so friendly and helpful. The property is pretty. The bed was comfortable (though possibly smaller than advertised? I'm not sure). Also, the rooms are pet friendly. We were able to walk to the ocean in about 5 minutes. There are tons of good food options that are walkable. The only thing we didn't totally realize is that the beaches nearby aren't pet friendly...wah wah. Anyway, it wasn't the inn's fault. Also, it's located right next to a train line and we had some super loud trains go by in the night. Despite this, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! read more

Leucadia Beach Inn - So pretty - Hotels Near Me - Encinitas, California

Cute, retro hotel with kitchenette - but small, cramped bathroom with no vanity space. Nice, thick towels, though. It is NOT a block from the beach, as the web site claims. There's a French bakery a block down the street to grab a coffee and nice pastry. read more

I wish I had a more positive review. This trip was highly anticipated and I looked forward to a relaxing stay. I got an email before arrival saying to call if I was going to check in after 3pm because staff wouldn't be there after 5. I called, no answer. I emailed back and got a reply later. I checked in about 3:30pm. The lady who checked me was very kind and helpful. The parking situation was tight and crowded, but perhaps this is CA in general. The room was ok. No paper towels for a room with a kitchen in it. The next morning I asked if there was recycling. The man behind the counter was rude, referred to me as my room number, and directed me across the court yard-all while on the phone. The train wasn't a bother, but loud other guests were, especially with how tight of a space it is. The man (the owner?) was rude again at check out, saying-"is that it?" When I handed in my key. They don't clean your room or make your bed either and I was there for 5 nights. They do go on and on about their cleanliness protocols on their website, however. The shower area was tiny, difficult to move around in. It felt suffocating at times when you could hear the room next to you, the restaurant next to you, and the street/train. I don't know if I'd book here again. read more

If your on a budget, I highly recommend this place. Very clean and tidy. We were coming from the NorCal, management Todd was very accommodating. We were able to check in 2 hrs earlier than normal check in. Walking distance to restaurants, grocery store and beach. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is because the parking was a bit tight and maybe add air freshener in the bathroom. Other than that, my family enjoyed staying at this inn. read more

What a great place! Our room was on the 2nd floor in the back. It was perfect! King bed, kitchenette, small bathroom. This place is clean clean clean! Parking off the alley in the back had 5 spots, additional 4 spots out front with street parking if needed. Walking distance to Beacon's beach and great restaurants. The courtyard rooms look like a blast from the past. There're train tracks across the street for city commuters. Because of our room location, we hardly heard it. We didn't have our dogs with us but they're welcome here too. I can't wait to come back! read more

WOW!! One of the best boutique hotels I've ever experienced. Super Super clean, Full kitchen, super comfortable beds. Like the most awesome studio apt The area is killer and the hotel had great free parking I'm super bad with names Mike /Mark? Gave us an awesome tour and knowledge about the area!! Love will be back read more

Wonderful location, beautiful buildings! This hotel was perfect for my daughter and her 3 girls, visiting from Chicago. I booked super-early, got a great rate. Very 'beachy' vibe, nice kitchenette, comfortable beds, quiet street, dog-friendly. The owner, Mark, was super-accomodating and informative. Free, close parking so you are STEPS from your room, was nice. 1/2 block from a little market, Just Peachy, 1/2 block from The Beach House, a wonderfully stocked souvenir shop. It's a little over a mile to Moonlight Beach, a quick drive or lovely walk. Its near downtown Encinitas, there are plenty of restaurants and shops to explore. Final bill had no surprises. I will definitely reserve it again, for more visitors. Only 4 stars becuz it had one tiny dresser, 4 hangers, in a suite with 2 queen beds. The girls' clothes were everywhere! read more

We had THE best stay at the inn. We checked in early and got a tour of the property. Very personable and friendly staff. We felt right at home. Very clean rooms and beautiful property. The best part.... free parking right near your room. It was a very quiet property. Even though they were totally booked it was quiet and peaceful. Restaurants and fresh fruit and veggie mart within walking distance. Can't wait to visit again! Thank you for making our visit enjoyable. read more

Loved our room. We had every breakfast and lunch in the room. Dinner once at Roxy and dinner once right next door at Taco place. Both great meals. Room was quite and clean. Mark was very accommodating and quickly got us things we wanted . Really appreciate that! Showed attention to my dogs which means alot to me . Love that there is a market within a minute walk. Safe and easy parking for my big truck ! Enjoyed ! Have 3 more bookings between now and May . Very affordable too! Oh and a great pet store down the street ! Pet Power read more

Great price, great room, and mark was the nicest host! Definitely recommended for a getaway. Small little room, and you could the road noise, just need to make sure you shut the window if you're in the front room. Each room has an ac, space heater, coffee maker and kitchen necessities. read more

I visited this little beach inn on a much needed mini vacation. Here are the deets. The Good 1. Affordable (during the right season) 2. Rustic but charming 3. Free (but tight) parking 4. Free WiFi 5. Friendly staff 7. Good location, close to the beach, food, and shopping. 8. TV had good selection of channels The Not Great 1. Front office closes at 6pm 2. Some furniture in my room was held together by shipping tape. 3. I had to crawl under the bed to retrieve the a/c chord then find a suitable plug to plug it in. It should always be plugged in and ready for guests. It was a huge hassle. 4. Tub and microwave weren't that clean and stained/rusty. Overall the good outweighed the bad and I enjoyed my stay once I got the room cooled down. This is a great place to stay if you are on a budget but still want something with beachy character. I would visit again. Easy and affordable fix: Instead of holding together broken furniture with tape, get something in good shape from Goodwill or IKEA. The guests will appreciate it and it will make for a more aesthetically pleasing stay. Also please consider not having loud a/c unit near the beds. read more

Cute and comfortable. 10 min walk to the beach and also short walking distance to a small grocery store and yummy organic taco shop. Service was friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable and bath towels were soft and fluffy! I didn't try to use the stove but really glad they had a microwave and Keurig machine for coffee in the morning. Nice place to stay if you're surfing nearby. read more

Had to book a room last minute because there was a misunderstanding with the other hotel I had booked. I arrived at 8p & the front desk was closed but there is a after hour # you can call. Apparently the manager is on premise because she came out of a room when I was calling. Check in wasn't hard especially because it was last min & after hours. Arrived to room #17. Cute 2 bed, kitchenette, bathroom & TV. Room was clean, Spanish file floors. No complaints. Only problem is, our room was facing the street and the room has somewhat of a smell so we had the window open to air out but you hear EVERY traffic & train. Other reviews were right- no paper towels, cutting board or salt & pepper. Nice 40" flat screen tv but it didn't work. Wouldn't know about housekeeping because I only stayed for 1 night. Lots of gnats also in the bathroom. Parking wasn't a problem, either on the street or on the property. You get what you pay for. I would stay here again if other local hotels were booked. read more

It's up to you, your money, but if you enjoy being insulted this is your place. First of all, I'm 73 years old and have been around the block a few times. I do want to make it clear, it was not Todd, he's very polite and appreciates your business. There are signs that say do not slam the door... the doors are about three inches thick and very heavy and I can see easy to slam. I was leaving my room, shut the door and was locking it, when, I believe it was Mark that that told me not to slam the door... I didn't. He preceded to lecture me about being considerate to other customers. I was raised being polite, raised my children to be polite and to respect their elders. We are frequent visitors to Leucadia as our daughter and her family live on Neptune Street. We learned our lesson. There are other choices, I suggest unless you don't mind being insulted, seek another hotel. read more

I travel every month to Encinitas from Northern CA for an ongoing appointment. Due to a COVID illness in the office (out of my control 100%), my appointment was rescheduled. I haven't stayed here before but was hoping this would be a place I can rely on each month for lodging. I tried to contact them the day before my stay, eventually they refused to give me a refund for my booking or to even credit me for a stay for next time & now I'm out money in these challenging times. This treatment is not in line with my values and ethics, and I recommend looking elsewhere. read more

I am only giving a three because of the train tracks across the street.. super noisy!!! The inn is family run and operated, it is quaint, clean and priced right for the area. Please know office hours are only from 9 am to 5 pm (not on the voicemail) . Also be aware if you have air on and decide to blow dry your hair, it blows the power !! Had to call for someone to flip circuit breaker.. STILL, would I stay again, ABSOLUTELY!! Love the old school, quiet (except for train) chill vibe! read more

I loved my stay here!!! Mark was soooo accommodating throughout our whole stay! Clean and cute room which was walking distance to restaurants, wineries, and the beach! But also not far from other fun places to explore! Would highly recommend! Will definitely be back. read more

Feels so nostalgic Hollywood...clean quiet & friendly staff!Very nice location...walk to many choices of casual eatery...walk to beach!:)

Great place to stay on nights when special events are near by. I came out for the San Diego Botanical Garden Festival of Lights. (Dec 2018) I'm somewhat local (Mt Helix/Rancho San Diego) but cannot drive at night due to vision issues. Leucadia Beach Inn was the perfect place to crash until morning. The only reason I'm not rating it a 5 is so others don't expect "The Ritz Carlton." With that being said; the property is very clean, easy access to all things in the Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff by the Sea & Encinitas areas. Bonus features: the Kitchenette and affordable price. I was concerned about the Amtrak train... but I didn't hear it after 11pm. (Thanks Amtrak!) and the Mattress was hard or maybe needed a box spring?... (I'm a camper so I could deal with those.) This is my new Staycation Location for sure! Thanks Todd for the great late check in arrangements. You all Rock! Merry Christmas & Happy 2019! read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this quaint little lodge. It's clean, no thrills but has a small kitchenette, which is always handy. I don't know what all the rooms are like, but my room downstairs #7. was nice. Walking distance to the restaurants & only a 10 minutes up a small hill to the beach. My only problem was, I couldn't get the TV to work & nobody was around to ask, as the front desk closes at 5pm & it wasn't an emergency to call the number on the door. I will be coming back soon. Receptionist Karen was nice. read more

Great kitchenette w/medium sized refrigerator (extra large dorm size?). No complaints at all. Will DEFINITELY stay again. Have already recommended to several friends.
