Perfect Coastal Vacation

The house is clean and light , well equipped and welcoming. View of the ocean from the porch. Only a few blocks from the town of Cardiff which has great restaurants and a fabulous grocery store. Beaches close by and very convenient to I-5. The property manager is next door and was wonderful , and immediately available to help with any questions or problems. Dishwasher wasn’t working and it was replaced within two days! All in all, it was a lovely experience. Margaret
