A bit of Hawaii in San Diego! Professionally landscaped and interior designed home in Cardiff by the Sea...
Our luxury "Tommy Bahama" home is on an upscale cul de sac off the best street in Cardiff. Sweeping lagoon and back country views to Rancho Santa Fe out the back of the home, and an ocean view from the upstairs front rooms. This home was completely remodeled (down to the framing, plumbing & electrical) in 2005 with Koa Wood floors throughout. You can rest assured that our home is fresh and pristine...a true slice of heaven.
THIS HOME IS IMMACULATE- NO CARPET (EXCEPT IN CLOSETS)...WE TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN OUR HOME...IT IS CLUTTER FREE...You will NOT feel like you are in someone's space! The furniture and rugs are cleaned often
An eat-in chef's kitchen adjoins the large family room with 50" plasma TV with surround sound. French doors open from the formal dining room and family room into the resort style backyard with pool, Jacuzzi, play set, expansive lawn, beautiful eating area and stainless barbeque. In the summer the hibiscus, fragrant plumeria and gardenia are blooming...you really feel like you are in Hawaii!
The back yard is wired, so you can play your favorite music while you are dining al fresco or swimming in the pool!
The upstairs is great for family living... the master bedroom is a fabulous retreat overlooking the San Elijo Lagoon. Enjoy the spacious bathroom of travertine and tumbled marble. There are two sinks, an oversized shower and separate oversized soaking tub (no jets to harbor nasty bacteria). It's spa-like! A french door leads you out to the huge balcony, where you can relax and read a book and watch the hot air balloons float overhead.
Our home is one mile from the famous Cardiff Reef (PARKING PASS INCLUDED) and the downtown area of Cardiff with boutiques, 3 brand new restaurants, an upscale wine bar and a gourmet market. We are ten minutes from Legoland and the legendary Del Mar Racetrack as well as upscale Rancho Santa Fe. We are twenty minutes from La Jolla and thirty from the newly renovated downtown Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego.

Name: Marcia Dunbar Comments: Our entire family had a wonderful week at this very clean, attractive and user friendly home. The children enjoyed the pool very much as did the adults. The home is just a short drive to the many lovely beaches in the area. We thank the Bartow's so very much for sharing their home with us.

Name: Paul Davidson Phone: 72023732950 Comments: We stayed here in June of 2009. The house is beautifully furnished and equipped.We had 4 adults and 5 kids and we all had plenty of room. Cardiff is a great area to explore with kids and we would love to come back again. Wes and Susan were very professional and prompt and great to deal with. The Davidsons and Schroeders, Denver, CO

Our back yard is perfect for intimate weddings or other special occasions. Out of respect for our neighbors, we limit these to 2 per year. Please contact us if you would like to see photos of these events.

Susan - We did have a wonderful time at your home!! It's been a bit depressing coming back to the mid-90's and high humidity. Ugh! Not to mention going back to work.... :) Your house was perfect for us and just beautiful. I can't think of anything that would have made it easier or better. We were so comfortable and relaxed. The girls were in the pool almost constantly when we were there! They loved all the dress-up clothes and dolls. The light cleaning was no bother to us and it was nice to have a touch-up in the middle of the week although we would have been fine without it as well. We were at the beach that morning and so we didn't even see your housekeeper. We don't know what are plans are for next summer, but we would be very interested in staying at your house again if we get back to San Diego. Do you think you'll have it available next summer? Or maybe you don't know yet. Thanks again! Krista
