Cardiff-by-the-Sea is a laid back coastal town conveniently situated between Encintias and Solana Beach. We have 2 fantastic beaches (Cardiff State Beach, San Elijo State Beach) just across the highway. Both are great for sunbathing, walking, surfing and boogie boarding. Seaside Market, Starbucks, dining and shopping are just down the street. Head into Encinitas or Solana Beach Cedros Shopping District for more options.

Beaches, dining, shopping is all within a 15-25 minute walk (1-1.5 miles). There is a pedestrian walkway just across the road for safe for walking, bike riding. Car is necessary if you plan to visit San Diego.

Regarding the train. It is primarily used by Sunliner/Amtrak as a 5 car passenger/commuter train. 2 trains (one north, one south) about every hour during commute times, and it tapers down at night and middle of the day. The train passes the house in 5-7 seconds. Occasionally there is a freight train, which takes about 30 seconds to pass by the house. Most guests find it a fun, kids like to watch for it.

The house, location and especially the views is what made this reunion of friends so special. Gina is a flexible, communicative host. The house was as described and then some. We were pleasantly impressed by how well stocked the house was. Thank you, Gina!

We always VRBO when we visit San Diego, and this is our first time staying at the same home two years in a row, which should tell you everything you need to know about how great this property is. The location, amenities, and views are excellent, and the fact that you and any visitors have available tandem off-street parking is a nice bonus. The only minor concern we would raise to other travelers is that you are somewhat at the mercy of the guests in the separate unit above, as you can hear every step they take- the first year we stayed here, that unit was unoccupied, but this year we could definitely hear the very active guests above us, so we might consider renting the top unit instead next time. Installation of an outdoor outlet for electric car charging would also be a great amenity for the owners to consider adding!

The house and location are amazing. But even better than all that was our host Gina. She was always available to answer any questions that arose. We will definitely be staying here again next year.

I came to this house with my two daughters the day after my husband's memorial service. The three of us needed to get away, and the younger daughter had been asking for a year for a California 21st birthday. The house is lovely, as nice or nicer than what the photos show. We each had our own bedroom. All the beds and furniture were very comfortable, nice linens, very well equipped kitchen great views. We had great meals in nearby restaurants, enjoyed the beach, and took our rented car to San Diego one day for a spa day. Only downside of the trip was that we did not mask on the plane on the way to CA (first time in several years) and all three of us came home with Covid!

Had a great stay at this property with my family. The location is perfect for a quick trip into Encinitas, and is walking distance from Cardiff and the local shops. I would recommend renting the top unit as a first choice to avoid the sound of footsteps from a group above you. Would 100% stay again!
