MickeyRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Rob’s place was just as described. We found it quiet and peaceful, with enough room for our needs. It had a nice little fenced-in area (great for dogs) and everything was comfortable. Rob was timely, clear, and friendly in his communications. Easy to get to Legoland and plenty of restaurants in the area.

Comfortable home near attractions.

KatherineRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

From the moment I booked, she was warm, responsive, and incredibly communicative, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Her home was immaculate. It is easily the cleanest and most well-kept Airbnb I’ve stayed in over the years. Every corner was spotless, thoughtfully organized, and clearly cared for with pride. You can tell Carol puts real heart into being a host. Carol is not only professional and attentive but also genuinely kind and welcoming. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. If you’re looking for a place that feels both pristine and inviting, with a host who truly cares, Carol’s home is the one to book. I can’t recommend her enough!

The entrance features a welcoming porch with steps leading up to double doors. Each side is adorned with potted plants and a decorative watering can. Through the doors, a cozy living area with a television and dining space is visible, surrounded by natural light.

Leucadia Beach Cottage

JakeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We had a great time staying here! The unit was separate from the rest of the house and felt very private. The backyard was absolutely beautiful, and there was plenty to do in the surrounding areas. Only thing I would mention, is that if you intend on walking to the beach it isn’t very convenient as you have to walk a little ways down to the intersection to cross the train tracks. Driving to the beaches was very convenient and parking was never an issue for us!
