Cardiff View Bungalows great for large group
The Cardiff Beach Bungalows are a great place to gather with a large group. Both units are exactly the same in size and stylish furnishings. Each unit sleeps 8. You`ll have the entire property to yourselves. Parking for 4-6 cars and beach gear too! Nestled between Solana Beach and Encinitas, Cardiff-by-the-Sea is a quaint town with a fabulous beach and surf (Pipes)! Walk to restaurants, grocery store, park and the beach (just over a mile).
Each bungalow has 3 bedrooms consisting of: master with king, guest room with king, and bunk room with queen beds. All bedrooms have TVs. Master bedroom has ensuite bathroom with shower/tub combination. Guest bathroom has shower stall. Both units have large, fully stocked kitchens, with dining at the counter, table or outside. Both units have washer & dryer inside. Both units have central air conditioning and beach gear. We provide linens, towels (including beach towels).
In order to sleep 16 people in beds (between the 2 bungalows), 2 people will be in each bunk bed, in each bungalow. They are queen size beds. Depending on the make up of your group (adults/children/infants), you`ll need to determine if this is suitable.

Close to Seaside Market, playground at school yard a few blocks away. Shopping, dining, beach about a mile or so. Pedestrian walkway makes walking safe.
If you are up for a 20 minute walk, you can get to the beach, food, shopping. We have a wagon to help transport beach gear. Car is recommended for most other activities.
You will have to climb stairs to get to the units. Once inside, they are single level. Amtrack Sunliner passenger train runs along the coast line and all through Cardiff, you will likely hear the train and street noise. Many find it novel and children love to watch train go by.

Amazing ocean views with a view of the sunset that is unmatched
Overall, we had a great stay and loved that the home came with everything we could possibly need. The host’s communication was great. The advantages of the home far exceed any con, and we would definitely stay here again. Pros: -Location-directly across from the beach allowing for amazing views all day, walkable to tons of shops, grocery store and restaurants-The home came with any and everything you can possibly need and imagine for a home away from home-Ample towels and linens were provided, as well as toiletries -Nice beach decor-Front yard was a great entertainment area with cornhole, tables, sunset facing chairs, turfCons:-Train can be heard throughout the day when the windows were open (but not horribly loud)-Bathrooms are in need of an updating (fans weren’t working well for ventilation and the drainage wasn’t the best)-Washer is a bit older and had mold/smell

Beautifully decorated home with ocean view
We rented both units of this two-unit property. Both levels have the same floorpan and the kitchens are very well stocked. They have slow cookers, blenders, lots of pans and pots, and cooking supplies. The view from the top level is stunning and both levels have patio tables. We ate outside every night and enjoyed the views. In the garage, there are bikes, boogie boards and sand toys. The house is super clean and well decorated and also has AC. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend this property for a family gathering.
