Great for sleeping, shopping, watching the water. The train didn't bother us. You become accustomed to it quite quickly. The views are wonderful. Could not have asked for anything more.
5.0
We loved the house, especially the backyard. Had everything we needed and captivating views. The only drawback was that accessing the beach wasn't as easy as it looked due to the train tracks and highway between the house and the beach. From our experience, you have to walk down several blocks to cross safely. But that would not stop us from going back again! Love Cardiff & Encinitas!!

Our son is going to university near by and we wanted a spot where we could all meet up over spring break. The home is lovely, the views spectacular! Had everything we needed and was a short walk to local restaurants. Gina has great communication skills and made booking effortless. Wonderful vacation home and our family would stay here again.

The Blue House was a great place to unwind with the family. The view of the ocean was interesting and relaxing. Sitting on the back porch was meditative looking at the beautiful trees and plants and enjoying the quiet. The BBQ and the fire pit came in handy for entertaining.

We have stayed in many rentals but Gina's property by far is the BEST! The ocean view from the living room was incredible. The front and backyard was amazing. We enjoyed the jacuzzi every night. The blue house location is why we booked it. Walking distance to Seaside Market, Pipes, and Sambazon. We also walked to Encinitas ate at Honey's and shopped at Viouri. Gina was easy to communicate with and she responded quickly. The house has everything and is well stocked. We will definitely be back.

Listing is exactly as described. Location great. View and property amazing! Cozy house.
Communication easy. Owner came by to drain & refill hot tub with fresh water, almost immediately after I messaged the listing agent.
Fresh flowers was a nice touch.
Thank you!

The house and backyard are Amazing! We had little kids with us and they loved everything the house had to offer. Just know it's not close enough to go to the beach without driving when you have kids, toys, beach chairs etc.
5.0
We had the best vacation at this home! It's even more beautiful in person and the views are incredible. The kitchen is well stocked, comfortable beds and couches. We opted to drive to the beach but it took less than 5 minutes to get there. We loved the backyard and stayed in one night to BBQ and enjoy the jacuzzi. Gina was very easy to communicate with. We can't wait for our next stay!

We love Cardiff and this is the perfect vacation home for my family. My kids (3 and 5) loved the bunk beds and my wife and I couldn’t get enough of the ocean views. The house has a great kitchen with everything we needed to cook and prepare meals. The beach wagon and toys made the trips to the beach with the kids easy and fun. Highly recommend this house for anyone with kids looking for something close to the beach and restaurants of Cardiff and Encinitas.

My family from around the country all gathered in the sweet Seaside home for our birthdays.

Blue-house
The Blue-house has a wonderful feel to it; relaxing but elegant. It had a nice play area for the Grandkids and bunkbeds too! Master suite was charming.. View to the ocean incredible.
It was one of the very best VRBO homes I have ever occupied.

Excellent location, beautiful views, incredible yard
This house is in a tremendous spot. The backyard has an immaculate patio with fire pit, multiple seating areas, a hot tub, sloped grass lawn, built in BBQ...despite some cold weather, our family enjoyed waking up each morning with coffee and a broad view of the pacific. Easy access to Seaside market and Encinitas. Would recommend this spot!
