On the deck if you prefer staying in and barbequing you are all set up, just take off the cover and turn on the heat. The dining table is suited for 2 people but will accommodate 4. The floor plan is open with maple hardwood floors throughout and vaulted ceilings. You’ll find a large full bath nicely appointed with custom cabinets and Corian countertops, the bath is a tub-shower combo. An iron, ironing board, and hairdryer are provided along with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The full-size kitchen also boasts custom counters and shaker-style cabinets with a stackable washer and dryer. There is also a toaster, microwave, coffee maker, blender, cookware, and of course dishes, glasses, and utensils. We provide basic seasonings and enough coffee cream and sugar to last a few days.

We also provide an EZ bed for an additional adult guest. PLEASE NOTE THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL COST FOR OVER 2 GUESTS. This can be paid to us when you arrive for your stay. Mahogany encased crank windows show the beautiful sunset views and let the ocean breeze in. If the breeze isn’t enough there is a ceiling fan or if you're a bit chilly the studio is equipped with a separate heating forced air unit.

Great property. My wife and I were seeing a show in Solana Beach and this property was just a short ride away. Very clean. Clear instructions for everything. Great view of the ocean from the quaint balcony. Would stay again.
Very comfortable. Plenty of room. Clean. Sheet and towels were nice. Lots of extra supplies of things that I didn’t have to buy…like soap and kitchen supplies.And the view…beautiful and relaxing.The property is on a walkable street and easy to drive to the beach if you want.Host was friendly and helpful.
Just as advertised! Very comfortable and clean. Very happy we stayed here.

You were a delight to have stay with us. So glad you enjoyed yourself and we’re close to family. Hope to see you again in the future soon. Travel safe.

Beau was great, very helpful. Everything was very clean, and bed was comfortable. Bathroom remodel was very nice. We were not used to small spaces, so arranging suitcases took a bit of effort. Most negative for us was the lack of air conditioning.

Glad you enjoyed your stay, it was a pleasure having you. We are fortunate here by opening the slider to the balcony and the window in the sleeping area. We get a wonderful ocean breeze. The weather in Cardiff is usually so beautiful that air-conditioning is not needed.
Hope you took one of our cards, we would love to have you as a guest again.

The stay was great! I planned this little getaway as a birthday trip for my boyfriend and a celebrating my recent total knee replacement. We enjoyed our stay and saved as a favorite to book again.

This was our second stay here and it was just at wonderful as the first. Excellent location and convenient to all the things we like to do in Cardiff and Encinitas. The accommodations are perfect and the hosts very friendly.
It was so comfortable for my husband and myself. I'm a cook and the kitchen was a great set up. The bed was perfect, just right for a great night of sleep.

The space was remarkable. Well-appointed kitchen, spacious bathroom. Sweet balcony on which to see sunsets. Our hosts were accommodating. We’d give it more than 5 stars if that were possible.
I can’t say enough about my stay! It’s like staying in your own home. Everything you need has been thought of. It’s clean, it’s quiet, it’s down right adorable and it beats a hotel any day! I didn’t want to leave. You can’t ask for more. It’s central. If there’s something you wanna do to the north it’s not far and if you wanna head south it’s not far. But when you come back, you’re away from the major hustle and bustle. I will be staying here again!

About the host
Hosted by Judy and Beau
I have lived in Cardiff all my life. I have traveled and vacationed in many places in the US and the world but I never found any where I'd rather be than here. My children are 3rd generation attending the same elementary school that I did and my mother before me. I couldn't imagine living any where else.
Why they chose this property
My mom purchased the home in the late eighties and it was updated a few years after. It wasn't until 2007 that I did a complete remodel adding the second story and the studio. My family has lived in Cardiff for almost 70 years and building this beautiful home for my mom was something I wanted to do for her. Both of us enjoy living here because of relaxing life style and the small community feel, not to mention the year round great whether.
What makes this property unique
The studio is unique because it is completely private. You have your own private entrance and ocean view balcony, full bath and large kitchen. It is less than a 5 minute drive to restaurants, beaches, golf and shopping. The parking place and the private entrance are on the north side of the drive way, making it easy to unpack and transport your luggage.
