We spent 5 happy weeks at this property.We did not meet our host, however communication was always easy. This space was very clean, it looked like they recently updated the kitchen, living room and bedroom.The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed.The bed was comfortable and so was the couch. The front and backyard with pool were beautiful with comfortable outdoor furniture. The location was exceptional for walking everywhere. You just have to be ok with some steep hills. The town of Cardiff is a 5 minute walk down hill where you can get coffee, ice cream, pizza, açaí bowls. Mexican food along with so much more. Also a great but pricey supermarket. A minute from town is the PCH with the rail trail where you can walk for miles in either direction. We definitely recommend this property and would return next time we need a place to stay in San Diego.

Beautiful cottage
Nice cottage with great pool and spa. Very comfortable. Unfortunately we had plumbing and septic issues during our 6 day visit. Property management was very responsive and helpful but the issue persisted even after having the septic pumped (out). Still a very nice place!

winter getaway
My wife and i stayed for 2 weeks in february and we enjoyed ourselves . I did not give it a higher rating because of a couple things.The house was clean and comfortable but the freeway is directly below the house and the noise is unbelievable 24 hours a day. Then the smell ,when you go outside it smells like sewage depending on how the wind blows.I contacted the managers and they had the holding tank pumped but it did not help much.We paid 45 a day to heat the hot tub but it was so hot we couldn't use it so i contacted management and it took a week for them to get the temperature changed so i paid for a week for nothing . I have a hot tub at home so i know about them but they have contols locked and remotely controlled.Other than that the bed was comfortable and we used the kitchen for most meals and found it adequate . The neighborhood is nice and the town and beach are easily walkable for most active people.

Very nice secluded coastal getaway
The house and listing were very accurate - this is a really nice and cozy spot in Cardiff, just up the hill from the beach. The backyard is well appointed with pool, spa, fireplace, and grill. We did pay to have the pool and spa heated for our December trip and that worked out great. It does take the spa 20 minutes or so to get hot, so turn it on up when you arrive! The house was very clean, the bed super comfortable. All the communications with the host were answered and helpful.

Amazing pool and outdoor space
Loved our stay here!! I thought the pictures might be trick photography, but the pool, hot tub, and outdoor living space were absolutely amazing!! We paid to have pool and hot tub heated. Upon arrival the hot tub felt cool, and property manager quickly responded, and we learned the hot tub heats up additionally when you run the jets. Felt great after that!! Pool fabulous too!
Such a cute and lovely property. Great location - short drive down the big hill to all the coastal towns, restaurants, trails and vibe. And easy access to freeway.
Freeway is visible and audible in the distance over the fence, but didn't bother us. Great place!
