Led by Superhosts/Premier Partners Keith Clarke and Stacey Peterson, our team is committed to delivering a seamless and exceptional guest experience. We’ve taken great care to create a truly memorable experience, with high-end West Elm furnishings throughout and thoughtful additions like YouTube TV streaming services and fast, reliable fibre internet for those who need to work from home.

The “Ponto” Leucadia Bungalow is the ideal place to unwind and escape to the beautiful coast. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials, plus some special treats for coffee enthusiasts like a K-cup Personal Coffee Maker, a French press, a bean grinder, and a Nespresso Mini for a quick morning pick-me-up. To make your stay even more enjoyable, we’ve included a BBQ grill just off the kitchen, a private, fully fenced-in backyard with lush grass complete with patio furniture. Additionally, there is an individual enclosed laundry room with a stacked washer and dryer. Both bedrooms are equipped with comfortable Casper mattresses, and the primary bedroom features a king-size bed and a flat-screen smart TV. The guest room has a queen-size bed, and the main living space includes a queen sofa sleeper (available on request for a small fee). All laundry, bathroom, and kitchen amenities are included. Electric car charging available onsite for an additional hourly fee.

And for those who want to experience Leucadia like a local, we’ve provided all the beach gear and equipment you’ll need, including boogie boards, beach towels, beach toys, a surfboard, a beach umbrella, drink cooler and more all stored in a personal outdoor sports shed. Lastly, we’ve included a community outdoor shower right near the center of the compound where you can wash off after a day at the beach, and you can even bring your furry friends along!

PET POLICY

We love dogs, and our policy is really pretty simple. If you are bringing a dog(s) we need them to be crated if left alone. If you don’t have a crate, we have ones you can use. We understand if your furry family members can’t stay off the sofa or bed; we do have special sofa blankets and/or beach towels to protect the furniture. We try our best to accommodate all our guests and can’t have dogs directly on the furniture as it’s unhygienic for others who might be more sensitive. We also incur extra cleaning fees to prepare for our next guests. Cleanliness and sanitation are very important standards to our overall business. For this, we do require an additional pet cleaning fee. Finally, we expect our guests to pick up any dog waste daily in the yards and rinse down the area where the waste was picked up.

Note: we're sorry no cats are allowed.

CITY PERMIT DETAILS

City of Encinitas Permit RNTL-020404-2022. We expect our guests to keep noise down to a minimum as this house is located in a residential neighborhood and quiet times are from 10pm to 7am. We have a maximum overnight occupancy of 5 guests. Maximum of two parking spaces, one in the private covered carport and the other along side the fence. Trash is picked up on Monday mornings and all trash and recycle goods should be placed in the containers by Sunday night as pickup is usually very early.

CLEANING POLICY

Hey there! Here’s a quick rundown of how we make sure your bungalow is spotless and ready for you.

We’re a bit of a neat freak crew, and we take pride in giving you the best possible experience. Here’s what we do to prepare the bungalow for your arrival:

First things first, we let in the fresh coastal breeze! We leave windows and doors open for a few hours so the air can flow in while we get to work cleaning. In addition to our regular routine, we disinfect all high-traffic surfaces too.

Every single bed linen piece (even mattress pads, pillow protectors, duvet covers, and blankets!) is always laundered between uses. And don’t worry, all bath linens (shower curtains and bathmats too!) are laundered between visits to keep things extra fresh.

We know what you’re thinking: our cleaning fee might seem a bit steep. We totally get it, and we’re here to break it down for you.

Our crews—from the family that cleans the living space to our partners who tackle laundry—are all paid fairly. We believe that hard work deserves an honest living!

To get into the nitty-gritty, we usually spend around 15 hours readying the space and laundering the linens (all 10 loads of them, as detailed above).

Here’s the thing: what you see and pay for is what you get. We want you to feel right at home each and every time you visit the bungalows, and a spotless space is essential to that experience.

Your cleaning fee helps us pay our professional crews and keeps our high sanitation standards up. So, thank you for helping us make the bungalows your favorite clean and cozy getaway spot!
