Cardiff Beach House - Watch the Sunset, Walk to Ocean

Perfect Beach House

Guest: Kitty R. (Calgary, Alberta)
Date of Stay: 06/25/11 Review Submitted: 02/01/12

Our week here was wonderful! Everything in the kitchen is very well organized and generously supplied. The beds are very comfortable. Three levels of living space allows everyone to have their special place to relax. Thank you for all the beach toys. They were well used by my granddaughters. I hope we have put dishes back in the right cupboard and followed all the suggestions correctly. Thanks again.

Great Summer Vacation for the Fam

Guest: Kevin (Draper)
Date of Stay: 07/09/11 Review Submitted: 07/21/11

My family and I just spent a week this past July 2011 at this property and REALLY enjoyed it. I'm originally from the North Shore of Oahu and found this beach town just north of Del Mar so close to what I grew up around. Perfect setting and place to stay if you're looking for a great getaway @ the beach and where to hang with friends & family. We'll definitely be back -- Thanks!

My husband and I stayed for a month at this lovely, contemporary, Cardiff beach house - it was a great spot in all respects. The owners have taken great care to make their home pleasant and comfortable for others. They are very nice people and were extremely helpful and responsive when needed. We enjoyed a month of perfect weather with walks through town and to the beach, hanging out on the roof deck, an overnight trip to Catalina Island, and just generally taking it very easy!!! Thank you, Don and Charlotte!

Our vacation, beginning with your beautiful home, is a dream we will never forget. It is so beautiful here and so much to do and see. We feel very fortunate that we were able to see as much as we did. The location was perfect for the things we chose to do - convenient to San Diego, the wine country, shopping, and whale watching. You have done a wonderful job of decorating and providing all the conveniences for us to enjoy. Everything was just as you said. Thank you so very much for allowing us to stay here and take it all in. We didn't want to leave and we hope one day to get back here.

April 2010- one week stay

Guest: Brocky (Sacramento, CA)
Date of Stay: 04/09/10 Review Submitted: 10/11/10

We had a great one-week stay here with our extended family (including small children). The house is everything the ad states and more. Clean and up to date floors, appliances, fixtures, etc. Watched the sunset every evening on the roof deck chatting with the very friendly neighbors. Took the family to the beach (5 minute walk) and the park (one block away). The owners provide a parking pass for state beaches, so we got to explore the various sites nearby. Local shopping was great. Friendly community of local and visiting families. House is well-equipped for anything you might need. Location is perfect. Garage parking for one car. Owners are very responsive. The culture of this rental is to "help us keep it nice", so don't expect to make a huge mess and just leave (not for the uncivilized renter!). Eat at Roberto's Taco Shop (Solana Beach), The Beach House (Cardiff). The Coaster train station is not too far away (15 minutes walk, 3 minute drive) if you want to get to downtown San Diego or the other North County towns. We would certainly stay here again!!!!!

After suffering through a horrendous winter in Minnesota, it was such a joy for my wife, my sister and I and our friends to come to sunny San Diego county. Everything is breathtaking, and to be able to come home to a comfortable, spacious beach house and top each day off with a little wine and Pacific sunset made our vacation incomparable. Thanks, Don and Charlotte for your hints about attractions and food, and for letting us use your beautiful beach home. Sincerely, Kathy and Rick Ellingson Plymouth, MN

We just returned from our week-long stay at this wonderful home in Cardiff. We've stayed in a number of VRBO homes and this one was one of the best. The home, owner-communication, location, linens/supplies, etc were all top-notch. If you want to experience southern California beach-town living with all the conveniences of home, you won't be disappointed.
