Friend Reunion
We stayed at this Cardiff House for a 30+ year friendship reunion and the house did not disappoint. Obviously the views and the proximity to the ocean and popular surf breaks is why we rented the property, but it was unanimous that this was the nicest cleanest best stocked vacation rental any of us have ever stayed in. Usually, you have a mix and match kitchen and this kitchen was so well stocked it made you feel like you were in your own home. All the beds were very comfortable plenty of nice towels and a stocked medicine cabinet in case you forgot any of your essential toiletries. I would recommend this place for whatever your stay and I will most definitely be coming back here. Thank you to the owner and the management team for taking such intricate care of your guests.

Fabulous !!!
This was such a wonderful place in a fabulous location. The views are spectacular and place was clean and comfortable and awesome. We loved every minute. It’s a short walk or 2 minute drive to Cardiff which is a really cute beach town. And it’s a short distance to Solana Beach, Del Mar and Encinitas, which are all wonderful. Check in was easy the host was very friendly and helpful.
Highly recommended !!!!!

Wonderful home and location
We have stayed in many rental homes and this was the most well stocked one that we’ve experienced. The home is lovely and the views are simply astounding. We love the location for its walkability to both Cardiff’s town center and Encinitas for wonderful shops and restaurants. Gina was helpful, responsive and a pleasure to work with. We can’t wait to return!

AMAZING HOUSE IN CARDIFF BY THE SEA
This house and location was even better in person. The views were breathtaking and it was close to everything! We were able to drive anywhere within 20 mns. Either direction was only 1.2 miles and we walked a lot to coffee and restuaraunts.
The place was spacious and so clean!! The decor was so comfortable, well stocked and we were able to sit out on the deck and eat breakfast and watch the sunrise and sunset every night. We enjoyed watching dolphins and surfers in the ocean every day from our deck.
Highly recommend :)

Great ocean view property
We had a delightful time at this Cardiff-by-the-sea property. The photos gave an accurate view of the property. We could sit on our patio and watch the waves and the surfers. There is a street and train tracks between the condo and the ocean but they did not interfer with our enjoyment. The kitchen is one of the most well stocked of the many rentals we have stayed in. We were there over Christmas so there was a lot of cooking and baking going on and everything we needed was availalble. The host also provided some sweet holiday extrtas like a holiday puzzle and a very popular hot chocolate bar. Easy walking distance to an excellent upscale grocery, starbucks and many restaurants in Encinitas. We would defintely stay here again.

Breath taking view
The panoramic ocean view was special.
The house was adorable and well stocked.
I would only recommend getting a new fridge and washer and dryer but everything else was so nice. The location was perfect and the owners were very responsive and accommodating.
