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-000206-2015 and RNTL-019918-2022. 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 private driveway around back. 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 50% refund will be in effect for cancellations between 90 days and 60 days notice of check in date. 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.
However, we understand events happen outside of our control. If you need to cancel inside the "no refund" window, we always refund all the cleaning fees and occupancy tax if it was collected. In addition, we will attempt to re-rent the property and will refund back to you at your nightly prorata rate all the nights that we are able to rent.
Interaction with Guests:

We enjoyed our stay at the bungalow. Stacey met us at check in and gave us a thorough walk thru of the place! You cannot ask for a better place to stay. Very clean, organized, and had everything that we needed. The outdoor space was so relaxing, great place to eat dinner and enjoy the evening by the firepit. The location is excellent, easy access to the interstate and to the scenic highway. There is a grocery market and several restaurants within walking distance. Keith is a great host, checking in with us to make sure everything was fine during the week. Don’t wait, reserve this place now!

Amazing Bungalow!!
My wife and 20-month-old daughter stayed at this wonderful bungalow and Keith made us feel at home right away. Within hours of being there my wife and I were already talking about coming back. Keith was extremely helpful and the property has everything you need. I mean everything you need, from health and beauty items you may have forgotten to pack to laundry detergent so you can do a load of laundry. Keith and his team have great attention to detail! The bungalow was extremely clean and the furnishings were very nice and comfortable. Amazing location right near the beach, as well as shops, restaurants, grocery stores etc. all within walking distance. The property also has beach cruisers and an Instep bike trailer for toddlers which worked great for us when we went on a family bike ride. In addition to the cruisers there are surfboards, boogie boards, wetsuits, beach chairs, and more all for your use while staying at the property! Can’t wait to return!!!!

Keith was a wonderful host and always available if needed. A welcome basket with goodies was so sweet. Little thoughtful touches made the space special. Plenty of kitchen tools to cook at home.

Perfection
This property was the easiest, most well-organized, supplied, and owner-communicative that we have encountered in any rental we have stayed. There was no item or detail overlooked and we appreciated the qualityl inens, furnishings, and supplies. If you are planning on preparing meals, all details from sharpened knives, has stove, grill, and complete cookware and crockery is supplied. Location to grocery store, restaurants and coffee in less than 5 minute easy walk. Thank you for such a lovely, relaxed local beach stay. We will be back.

Had a great time
Keith goes above and beyond into making sure his guests have a good time. The organization of the property is top-notch with a small booklet for suggestions of things to do and information about everything that may be needed during the stay. The house is located at the heart of Cardiff by the sea with walkable access to San Elijo beach/Cardiff state beach which makes it great for a beach getaway. The house itself is equipped with everything we needed to have a good time. Keith is a very pleasant person, made sure to show us around and give us pointers to ensure me and my parents have an excellent stay.

Fabulous Bungalow
Stacy and Keith really thought of everything when it comes to the customer! I have never stayed at a rental that had every amenity, and we took advantage of them all. Surfboards, beach chairs, and boogie boards made for a blast at the beach. We rode the bikes to Encinitas for cocktails and dinner. Played a cut throat game of Perudo in the crows nest, and chilled by the fire catching up with our kids. We were here only for the weekend, but Stacy and Keith made it easy to pack a lot into our short stay!

Our getaway to Cardiff
From the moment we stepped into this property, we knew our stay was going to be special. Upon our arrival, we noticed a welcome basket with snacks and drinks. The garage is fully stocked with bikes, surfboards and more. We spent hours around the fire pit at night enjoying dinner and roasting marshmallows. They were very communicative throughout the process and checked in during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. It was all the extra little details they thought to add that made our stay really memorable. We can’t wait to come back!!

A Perfect Christmas Family Vacation!
We had a delightful stay in the Cardiff bungalows for our family of five - kids ages: 21, 19, 15 and parents older than that :) - over the Christmas holiday. The exceptional customer service began once we booked our stay with timely communication from our host including detailed instructions (with pictures) on how to find the location and an enthusiastic personal greeting and a tour of the place by Keith (host) upon arrival. The excellent service continued as Keith made himself available by text as we had questions along the way and followed up with us at the end of our trip.
Keith and Stacy go to great lengths to create a comfortable, clean, livable space to vacation with family. They provide you with suggestions of local activities and eats to keep you satisfied and entertained. As a family who was seeking lots of beach/surf time, freedom to wander, roam, bike, and walk in a less touristy town, the location was perfect with a local vibe and friendly people. Although the location is close enough by car to some of the big theme parks and day trips, you can certainly entertain yourself locally and nearby towns and have a great time as we chose to do. The big draw for our family was the garage full of bikes, surf boards, wet suits, etc. We would definitely recommend this stay for others and will likely return! Thank you.

Sweet, walking distance to beach and market.

Fantastic beach house near everything
Great property, near the shops, restaurants, brewery and beach. The house is well appointed and very well laid out for the size. The outdoor spaces were also super comfortable.
Keith and Stacy made the checkin process and stay super comfortable! Very attentive hosts. The garage had bikes, wetsuits surfboards, boogie boards, and chairs and umbrellas. My only disappointment was that our stay was not longer! We will be back.

This condo was more than amazing! We had everything we needed and then some! The goodies in the garage made for some great beach time. We enjoyed bike rides in to Encinitas, kayaks in LaJolla, the Birch aquarium - everything is so close to this Cardiff condo! This location is great!
Aside from an amazing location, inside the condo is very well maintained and organized. I appreciated the labels and "Read Me" binder with suggestions for local businesses. We had a few warm days and the air conditioner came in handy! The attention to detail was apparent and appreciated! We hope to return soon.

relaxing weekend getaway
The bungalow is perfect for our family of four. We stayed for a couple of nights and really enjoyed the location walking distance and we can bike everywhere to grocery, restaurant, and the beach. The video library is also very nice bonus, our boys love watching the videos to relax and chill inside after a long day at the beach. Thanks Keith!

Epic rental in great community
This place has it all! Wonderful and highly responsive owners! Tremendous bungalow that is extremely welcoming, clean, and organized. Garage filled with so many goodies to really enhance your beach visit, and especially ours with two toddlers who loved all the toys and big dump truck. The outdoor patio and fire pit were a wonderful and private place to relax each evening. Every detail is on point to make it an extremely user-friendly experience. All shelves and cabinets have clear labels, all instructions are clear with pictures, and there’s a good supply of things like dish and laundry detergent, towels, paper products, ziplocks, and other things that are handy when traveling. I absolutely loved this place and couldn't recommend it more. There’s also a phenomenal movie collection loaded on the Apple TV. You won’t be disappointed!

We stayed in this property over the Christmas holiday with our two teenagers and it was great! The home is more spacious than it looks in the pictures and has two outdoor seating areas as well. We walked to the beach, the Seaside Market and several restaurants in the area. We also used the bikes, surfboard and wetsuit. The apartment has everything you could need during your stay. We would love to stay here again.

This was our second time staying at Keith and Stacey’s house. The house is so perfect for a family vacation, lots of bikes and beach toys! The beds are very comfortable and the bedding so nice!
Keith and Stacey are super nice and always reachable if you need anything at all. House is a perfect distance from shops, parks beach and hidden enough to muffle traffic. We hope to be back again!

This beautiful bungalow was perfect for our Cardiff By the Sea trip! Incredibly clean and organized with everything you could possibly want or need! The location was super close to the town square and beach so it was convenient to walk everywhere. We enjoyed coffee in the morning in the private patio area and felt completely at home and comfortable. The "Read Me" book was also helpful in finding the best places to eat as well as local things to do. Super detailed so we even knew the favorite dishes to order at the restaurants. All were spot on! Thank you for a great trip! We look forward to visiting your charming bungalow again!

The bungalow exceeded our expectations! It was clean, comfortable and very organized. We loved the beachy vibe, as well. We appreciated the personal check-in and availability of our host, Keith. He gave great suggestions for food and activities and made us feel welcome! We would definitely stay at the bungalow again!
