Beautiful, clean home in Cardiff, just a couple blocks from the beach. Nice rooftop balcony and nice balcony of the main floor. Wonderful local beaches and lots of restaurants within walking and short drive. The parking pass to the state beaches was a very nice little extra bonus. Very quick responses from the host if you should need anything. We highly recommend this house for family vacations.

Excellent location and easy walk to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. Weather was very warm and better air flow in the ground floor would make it all perfect, air conditioning for whole house would be incredible. Lots of beach equipment to use and very quiet neighbors and neighborhood. Third bedroom is very small with 2 single beds only. Host was very responsive. We had a wonderful time there with the open design and outside decks.

This is my second year renting this home for a family vacation. We all love the location, convenient to beach, restaurants and shopping. The house is nicely decorated with original art, very well equipped and a homey feeling. We had a problem with the electricity when we first arrived. The owner was very responsive and had it fixed by the next day. I would highly recommend this home.
