We absolutely loved the house and the location couldn’t be better. The communication with the management company was great and we cannot wait to return. The house was clean and comfortable. The market is a super close walk and it so easy to bike down to the beach. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Modern house close to the beach

The house has a really fun retro modern design. The beds were comfortable and the house was super clean. You walk along a lovely path to get to the beach and there are lots of shops and restaurants nearby. It was perfect for our needs. Thank you!

Perfect in every way

From the minute we drove up to the property we felt our cares disappear. To be so close to the beach and restaurants/shops was amazing! (The smoothie bowl shop and Cardiff market were favorites!) The only tricky part was the pull we felt to stay in and enjoy the house. Such luxury and relaxation! Thank you so much!

They told me in several emails not to check until 4 pm we get there at 4 pm cleaners still in the house couldn't get in till 4:30 or so. House very plain not worth the price. Great location however.

Great location but needs a little updating

The house was nice and well-equipped, but not quite what I was picturing. Some things could use a refresh (for example, the towels were pretty threadbare and the bathrooms a bit outdated). Also, we were charged 200 dollars for checking out two hours late (100 for each hour past 10 am). I thought that was pretty harsh, especially because we came two days later than expected and still paid for the first two days. The best thing about the house is a great location (quick walk to Cardiff or Encinitas).

Great Stay in Cardiff

We had a great experience with this house and property manager. House was exactly as represented in pictures (actually felt a bit larger than we expected!). Property manager was responsive, proactive and friendly. The location is amazing with views of the ocean and just a 2 block walk to Seaside Market, Starbucks, VG donuts and lots of restaraunts. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful Stay

Spacious, very clean, convenient to beach, shopping, & outstanding restaurants up and down the coast. Very quiet at night. Large back deck with a shower that was great for rinsing sand off after beach. Front deck for sunsets. Modern kitchen fully stocked for cooking with a Keurig and hot pot. Tesla Level 2 charger was a huge timesaver. Hosts Matt and Anna were terrific with helpful recommendations and how-to's on making the most of our stay. We'll be back.

Beautiful Home

We booked this home for a family getaway with adult children and a grandchild. It was an incredible experience. The home is fantastic a no convenient t to the beach. The interaction with the property manager could not have been easier. Highly recommend this home.

Encinitas

Beautiful home, ideal location, a short walk from the beach. Very close to the running path, restaurants, and shops of Encinitas. We had four adults, three teenagers, and found it comfortable for sleeping and interactions. Wonderful backyard for outdoor BBQ'S in the evening, and spacious kitchen and living room for entertaining. All in all, highly recommended1

Absolutely Beautiful

We had a phenomenal time at this Cardiff-by-the Sea home. Communication was quick, complete and easy. The pictures of the home don't do it justice. Everything we hoped for and more. The location is convenient to everything. Highly recommend!
