We had a mother teen son stay for a 3 volleyball camp. Lots of space and room for everyone! We walked into town every day for meals, shopping…Everything we needed was provided and then some. Would love to return!

Really great house with a great yard. The main house has great Master, plus 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the carriage house has a queen and two bunk beds downstairs with a full bath. We never needed the upstairs of the carriage house.
Lots of neat places to sit and talk. The front garden was a favorite.
You DO need to drive to the beach because of the railroad tracks, but Cardiff, San Elijo, Swami’s, and Moonlight are all the same drive time (3min).

We had our family gathering in this home. What a wonderful home to host a family!
Lots of space, 2 yards to play/sit in, a nice outbuilding/ADU that had all its own facilities, and everything was provided in the home we needed (and for the nearby beaches!).
Nice neighborhood, and great access to both Swami beach and Moonlight Beach, and in-between the towns of Encinitas and Cardiff, so easy access to restaurants, etc.
A great home at a great value!!

We met here with two families for getaway from the heat of Phoenix and Vegas. We were able to walk to the beach and shops. Location was great. House had plenty of rooms to sleep for everyone. They included parking pass for beach which was nice. Great communication from the owners

This home was a perfect getaway and exactly as described. Very comfortable for multiple ages of one family and lots of outdoor space to retreat to. The house is close to everything you need in north county. We would definitely stay again.

We stayed here with family for the weekend of our son's wedding. There were six of us staying at the home and it is very spacious with lots of seating areas inside and out. The beach is just across the highway. Would love to stay at this house again!

Our stay was truly wonderful. The home was spacious, the yard was beautiful, and the quaint downtown of Encinitas was less than a 10 minute walk away. My only suggestion would be to add a mini bar area and have more kitchen utensils for cooking, making cocktails, etc.

The property was beautiful with lots of space. It is in a nice neighborhood with farms stands on Saturday for fresh veggies and bread. Great walking paths along the ocean and fun restaurants nearby. The grocery store was also close for picking up essentials and the owners were super accommodating.

We really enjoyed staying in this very well-appointed home. It had everything you could want or need. It is obviously well-cared for. Our family enjoyed family meals indoors at the dining table and outdoors in the two seating areas. The fire pit was an unexpected bonus. Many perks in addition to the FABULOUS location!

The first thing that impressed us so much was how great the owners are at communicating with us. They seem like great people and I’ll happily book their house again at some point. The house is a really cool style with a really cool sitting area in the front yard that we used a bunch to sit around the fire and chat. The area is right down by the water but just far enough away that you don’t have to deal with the beach traffic. There is a great little street about 5 min away that has a bunch of restaurants, shops, bars, and such that we went to a lot. It’s just very convenient and wasn’t too far from sea world or the zoo. Overall I would highly recommend this spot and will be back to use it again sometime.

Our stay was heavenly! This property is pristine, and the owners are wonderful to work with and have worked very hard on every detail to accomplish the perfect paradise vacation! It exceeded our expectations and there were many bonuses that were unexpected. The property is gorgeous and location close to everything! Encinitas screams charming and the visitors' book they provided was very helpful. My husband was especially impressed that they had all the chairs, boards, umbrella, and towels to have a comfortable visit to the beach. We highly recommend Cardiff by the Sea and know your family too will experience a trip of a lifetime!
Thank you, it was wonderful!!
John, Teresa and Family
