Great visit

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!

Amazing stay in Cardiff by the Sea

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.

Good fit for us

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.

Cardiff house.

Overall a nice stay and great location. About the house: - master bathroom toilet runs if the handle isn’t in the right position. Needs to be fixed. - too much detergent used on sheets and towels. You can smell it on both. Recommend using fragrance free and less chemicals. I usually break out in a rash from heavy detergents. - lightbulbs out in kitchen. Thanks

Great view, old and beat up

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.

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.

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!

Solid Listing

There were 6 of us for a Family Vacation ranging from toddler to grandparents. View is fantastic and location is great. Close to market and restaurants for great food options. Location is perfect for small drives to amenities. Only downside is property is in need of some updating, but would still recommend.

Returning "Home"

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.
