From the moment we walked in, we knew we had picked the perfect accommodations. A breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean awaits from both the main and upper levels. The place exceeded our expectations and was Uber clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back.

A beautiful spot with fantastic views
The home was beautiful and in a great location. Easy access to the beach, although walkable it's a bit of a hike up the hill after a long day. Interior was clean and well maintained and the rental company was responsive throughout the whole process.
The home was in good condition and the furniture nice. It could use a good deep cleaning - cobwebs on the ceilings etc but otherwise it was decent. The house is big, probably too big for us two but we enjoyed the view a lot and the patios. Would definitely stay again!
View is great and it is clean and managed. Could use some new furniture and sheets and is just beat up overall. For that price point, you would expect nicer overall. I know the area and rentals well in Cardiff.
We recently moved from Encinitas CA to Lexington KY. and we knew we would be back for Christmas and wanted to stay in Cardiff. From the minute we opened the front door this home is AMAZING. The View - out of this world. The location is perfect, super easy walking distance to stores, restaurants, beach, rail trail. Kitchen was well supplied with whatever you might need. High end appliances. 2 decks with ample seating. Couldn't ask for more. We will definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous views
This house is so wonderful. Easy location to get to and from the highways. The house has gorgeous views of the ocean in a really nice neighborhood. Great restaurants, grocery store and surf shop for t-shirts nearby, 10 minute walk (it is downhill so the walk back up is a great leg workout). Wonderful to have a garage and driveway parking spot. Owner had the house stocked nicely with shampoo/conditoner/body wash, beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards and toys as well as some seasonings and cooking supplies. Lots of room to relax and sitting outside on the 2 decks was a highlight of the morning and evening sunsets. We will absolutely be back to this house. Thank you for a wonderful family vacation l!
My wife and I were traveling with our adult children and their 7 and 9 year old kids. The property’s description was accurate. Killer view! The master suite with the den and sofa bed worked well for us. The master was upstairs and occupied by our “kids.” The ground level bedroom and bathroom were comfortable for my wife and me. The kitchen was very clean but the layout was pretty tight. I liked the large round dining table which could fit 6. There needed to be more than four dining chairs. Folding chairs would have been fine. All appliances worked! We would stay here again.
Lovely home! Great location, great view, well maintained, well stocked, very clean. Really enjoyed our stay! If stairs are a concern for you, just be aware that there are a lot of stairs in the home.
We traveled to the west coast for the first time as a family for my daughter’s soccer tournament and really enjoyed our stay at this property. The property was very impressive. Very clean, comfortable, well located and the host instructions for check in and out were seamless. Would definitely return to this property if we return to the San Diego area.
This is our second time staying at this property and we loved it again! Great place with everything we need and so close to restaurants, parks, grocery stores, and the beach. Will definitely be back.
We fell in love with Cardiff by the sea and this idyllic rental. Wonderful relaxing space. Stunning view. Both the beach and the Seaside Market area are a quick walk or drive away. Highly recommend!
