Loves the simplicity & beauty of this unbeatable beach bungalow.

We really enjoyed this house. We have been coming to Cardiff for 5 years now and this house is in a perfect location. Walk to Seaside Market, Pipes and VG donuts. The deck was amazing. We spent most of our mornings and evenings enjoying the breeze and sunsets. Beach is just a quick 5 minute drive. A quick drive to downtown Encinitas where there are tons of great dining options and cute boutiques and surf shops. The house is comfortable and kitchen well stocked. It was nice having the private parking as the street parking is usually very hard to find. We will definitely be back!

I've stayed in quite a few vacation homes and this was by far the cleanest (hats off to the cleaning crew!) The location near my daughter was perfect and the view from the deck drew us outside daily to read and have beverages! We had a wonderful girls vacation.

Great location, fantastic view, great for a weekend getaway. For a longer stay you will need some basics for cooking and your own towels. Parking is super tricky via the alley way but we would definitely return again.

The outside deck and view were stellar. The outside yard was very nice. It would be nice if they left some orientation instuctions for the house and area. It took us awhile to find the washer, which was outside, behind some storage doors in the back driveway. The house itself needs a refresh and deep cleaning. We were given 2 hand and 2 face towels for a week stay! Not enough, expecially in a moist coastal area. The carpets were really dirty, the bathroom tub liner had mold, toilet paper holder broken and bowl uneven. The window screens were so dirty they blocked the view and we had to wipe off the filth. The side chairs were inbedded with dirt. The house became HOT in the afternoon from sun. The house needs better windows so one can keep the blinds open (view) in the afternoon. An update on HVAC (AC) system is also warranted. We thought it was a bit overpriced for it current state…but location is everything I guess.

This cottage served us (my partner and mother) well for a few days at the beach. The house was nothing fancy, but it had all the things we needed in a quiet setting a short drive to great beaches and walking distance to a grocery store.

Very nice area. View of the ocean. Property had a few inconvenient issues.
The property itself needs some tlc but was decorated very nice and was clean. It wasn’t until the end of the day on our first night when we tried using microwave. Blew a fuse. Took over 30 minutes to locate the fuse box.. after calling help desk to help find it and didn’t know where it was either Luckily I had packed a flashlight since it was outside behind a bush. . Needless to say that was a big inconvenience. Then it was shower time…… drain was clogged. Water doesn’t even drain at all. No tools in the place to try to fix ourselves either and after hunting around again.. in the morning when it was light outside … we found the plunger in shed. But that didn’t even help. No morning showers for anyone. Another follow up call to help desk to get someone to fix. So no showered Friday night or Saturday until we returned that evening. Looked like the drain was clogged with lots of hair.. they fixed but left the mess. Dirty footprints in bathroom, tub filthy due to the standing water and the tiny garbage can filled with gross hair. They could have cleaned up.
Parking says 4 cars fit. We had only 2 luckily. Parking in front was taken by other houses. And the carport/driveway in back… not good for low profile cars. Very steep and angled…
So overall… several frustrations .. good thing we spent our days on the beach.

Lovely Beach Cottage
Nestled in a quiet neighborhood with ocean views, beaches and shopping a short walk. Fun to hang out on the spacious deck.

Adorable house in a great location!
This was a great spot for a week "at the beach". The home was comfortable and well-appointed, and offered a gorgeous view of the ocean. The walk to the beach is not for the faint of heart, though, so don't be fooled by proximity. While it is not far from the coast, the house is up a very steep hill and actually getting to the beach requires crossing 2 fairly busy streets. This could have been better explained in the listing, as we booked thinking we'd be just a short walk from Cardiff State Beach. Otherwise we were happy with the location and the home.

Great beach cottage
Great location with a beautiful view of the ocean. The kitchen was well stocked and clean. The bedroom was quiet and the bed very comfortable. We enjoyed meals on the deck and the view of the sunsets. It was perfect for a couple.
