PET POLICY
We love dogs, and our policy is really pretty simple. If you are bringing a dog(s) we need them to be crated if left alone. If you don’t have a crate, we have ones you can use. We understand if your furry family members can’t stay off the sofa or bed; we do have special sofa blankets and/or beach towels to protect the furniture. We try our best to accommodate all our guests and can’t have dogs directly on the furniture as it’s unhygienic for others who might be more sensitive. We also incur extra cleaning fees to prepare for our next guests. Cleanliness and sanitation are very important standards to our overall business. For this, we do require an additional cleaning fee. Finally, we expect our guests to pick up any dog waste daily in the yards and rinse down the area where the waste was picked up.
CITY PERMIT DETAILS
City of Encinitas Permit RNTL-007059-2016. We expect our guests to keep noise down to a minimum as this house is located in a residential neighborhood and quiet times are from 10pm to 7am. We have a maximum overnight occupancy of 5 guests. Maximum of one parking space is available in the garage at the rear of the unit. Trash is picked up on Friday mornings and all trash and recycle goods should be placed in the containers by Thursday night as pickup is usually very early.
CLEANING POLICY
The TLDR;
We’ll let you in on a little secret: good, thorough cleaning takes a lot of time—& it takes a village!
We’re slight neat freaks over here (it’s a good thing, we promise).
Our top-notch team takes pride in meticulously preparing the bungalow for you. Here’s an in-depth overview of how we’re spending the hours leading up to your arrival.
First things first—let in that coastal breeze!
By leaving windows and doors open for multiple hours, the fresh air starts flowing in while we get to work cleaning. In addition to our normal routine, we now disinfect all high-traffic surfaces too.
Each and every bed linen piece (even mattress pads, pillow protectors, duvet covers, and blankets!) will always be laundered between uses. Regardless of use, all bath linens (shower curtains and bathmats, too!) are laundered between visits to keep things extra fresh.
Woah there! We hear you.
Folks have shared their sticker shock concerns when seeing our cleaning fee for the bungalow. We understand that our cleaning costs are high—hence why we’re breaking it all down for you here.
Our crews—from the family-team cleaning the living space to our partners tackling laundry—are all compensated with fair wages. We believe good, hard work deserves an honest living!
To get into the nitty gritty, we typically spend ~15 hours readying the space & laundering the linens (all 10 loads of ‘em) as detailed above.
Here’s the the thing: what you see (and pay for) is what you get. We want you to feel right at home each and every time you visit the bungalows, and a spotless space is essential to that experience.
Your cleaning fee fuels our professional crews and allows us to upkeep our high sanitation standards—so thank you for helping us make the bungalows your fav clean & cozy getaway spot!
Note our cancellation policy for longer term stays is different than what is published on the booking site, if your reservation is longer than 15 days please note our modified policy below.

A 25% refund will be in effect for cancellations between 60 days and 30 days notice of check in date. If cancelling with less than 30 days notice no refund will be given.

We have stayed at many vacation properties in the Encinitas area and this was one of the very best! Nice quiet location within walking distance to the beach and several great places to eat, and central to many great attractions. We appreciated the cleanliness and comfortable beds and bedding WITHOUT the use of those decorative pillows that probably never get washed, thrown on the floor, used by other guests, then propped against your pillowcase. Anyway the unit is so thoughtfully stocked with items you might need for sunny days at the beach or rainy days out or in. At night we slept better here than any of the previous places we stayed in the area and during the day we enjoyed the outdoor seating areas as well.
10.0
We wanted a place for our young family to enjoy spring break in the San Diego area. Having two bedrooms and laundry was important as we have two young kids who have incredible skills at getting stains on their clothes. I'm so glad I stayed outside of the city in a house, rather than in a hotel. The fenced yard was amazing, the gates all latch and so they were able to hang out in the front yard and play while we could keep an eye on them. Everything was set up to be child friendly, and it was so wonderful to be able to walk to restaurants and the beach. There is also a playground nearby at the local school, with a view of the ocean as a bonus. Keith and Stacey were extremely easy to communicate with, and the guidebook covered every question we had. Hope to return and book both units so we can share a vacation with the grandparents or friends.

We loved our stay at this bungalow. It’s small but would work for a couple with two young children but not for two couples. Minimally furnished with a clean mid-century modern feel. (Would have been nice to have some simple rugs in living room. Outdoor space is fabulous because even in winter one enjoys a spacious tropical feel and lots of light. The kitchen is not a good one if you like to cook. Tons of coffee makers but when it came time to prep a real meal, it was difficult. Poor lighting, minimal exhaust fan, missing necessities like a roasting pan (we asked and it was suggested we roast our chicken on a cookie sheet), and sparse serving pieces—for example no large bowls for soup or cereal. Owners plan an update and presumably these improvements will be included, as they’re considered basics in most kitchens and don’t warrant the cost associated with remodeling
10.0
This beautiful bungalow, surrounded by lush tropical foliage, is wonderfully designed and thoughtfully put together. The hosts have created a great guest experience that’s very professional and made us feel like special guests. The area is gorgeous. Just walk outside and you’re in one of the prettiest neighborhoods anywhere. In minutes you arrive at a nice boardwalk with great views, and then, the beach. We felt very fortunate to have stayed here and will be back.

Wonderful home base while we explored the San Diego coast
Wow this place was so dialed in! We had everything we needed. The shed was stocked with beach supplies. The kitchen was well appointed. Beds were comfy. Keith was incredibly hospitable and let us know he was there if we needed anything. We didn’t need a car and could walk, ride bikes or take Ubers to nearby attractions. I highly reccomend the Cardiff bungalows.

Super comfy and cute - a short walk to beach and around the corner/down the street to the hub - with wonderful Seaside Gourmet Market, Restaurants, Starbucks & more.

Best VRBO experience
As a frequent traveler, at the big hotel chains, I sometimes hesitate to stay at VRBO's. With the stay at home orders, I wasn't given a choice, and this is the first time I can say I am glad. This property has all I would expect if I was at a Residence Inn and more. From filtered water, to comfortable beds, this quiet bungalow is a place I would love to stay at again. It is a short walk to the beach, Cardiff Seaside Market and the rail trail. Keith went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed and he even had a booklet full of suggestions of places to go. If you're in need of a place to stay in San Diego, I HIGHLY recommend this place.

Our experience here was amazing. Keith and Stacey were communicative and truly have thought of everything you might need for a long stay. Proximity to the Seaside Market and beach was perfect, close but not too close. Accommodations were perfect. My husband said on the drive home that he never slept better in a hotel or rental before. Our dogs enjoyed it as well, especially the patio where they kept a careful eye on things for us. Can’t wait to go back next summer!
