About this house rental

RNTL-024778-2023

Welcome to our beautiful attached home in the heart of the romantic surf town of Cardiff By The Sea. Our home is a spacious, one bedroom, one bath, newly remodeled bit of paradise. Maximum occupancy (3), vehicle parking (1). It is decorated with a tasteful mix of old Mexico and Aloha spirit.



There are Saltillo tiles through out, a roomy and fully equipped kitchen with granite counter tops and all the amenities. From your ocean view bedroom you can open double French doors and step out onto the tiled patio with adjoining lawn and breathe in the ocean air. You can enjoy your meals and sip wine in the ocean view sun room or on the deck overlooking the lush, colorful garden. Our lower garden includes an expansive lawn and a meditative koi pond. There is also a flat screen TV, stereo system, and overhead remote fans in every room and a gas BBQ on the deck.



Sunsets are incredible all year round and can be enjoyed wherever you are on the property. But better yet — why not walk to the beach and watch the sunset there? It will only take a few minutes to walk the two blocks to the beach where, besides sunsets, you can enjoy sunbathing, surfing, swimming, boogie boarding and scenic beach walks. There you can see dolphins, pelicans, various sea birds and even migrating whales — when in season. We also supply a beach parking pass so you can go to any beaches in San Diego. Our home overlooks some of the best surfing spots in California —Swami’s, Pipes and Cardiff Reef; all which are in walking distance.



The charming Cardiff by the Sea Downtown Village is only three blocks away. There you can visit the many restaurants, an upscale wine bar, Seaside gourmet market, boutiques, Iron Cross Surf Shop, the iconic Sunny Skys Bikinis and VG’S Doughnuts. One mike down the beach you can experience beachfront dining at the many varied restaurants.



Nearby attractions:

10 minutes – famous Del Mar Race Track, the village of Del Mar, the Belly Up Tavern, Legoland, the Flower Fields and strolling the San Elijo Lagoon Trails

20 minutes – Sea World, Torrey Pines Golf Course, Stephen Birch Aquarium, La Jolla, and hiking Torrey Pines State Park

30 minutes – San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park, historic Balboa Park and Museums, USS Midway, Fisherman’s Landing Sport Fishing, Sea Port Village, the Gas Lamp District of downtown San Diego and Lindbergh International Airport

This home was a peaceful paradise—lush plants, a koi pond, sunflowers, and a garden buzzing with hummingbirds and birdsong. The ocean view was stunning, and the Golden Girls vibes gave the spacious-yet-cozy house a charming, nostalgic feel. It was one of those places that instantly slows your heart rate and reminds you to breathe. We left feeling relaxed, happier, and more connected to the beauty around us. A true gem of a stay.

Cannot say enough amazing things about this property. First of all-Karen and Craig were both absolutely darling. Very communicative and responsive. We also got to meet one of their doggos-they are in a side yard and are super friendly-which is always nice. The property has multiple outdoor spaces and multiple indoor seating areas. Very spacious. Ocean views. Adorable koi pond and the babbling water provides relaxing ambience while enjoying a frosty beverage outside. For those looking to book-the owners do live on the property (their house is above the VRBO) but it still felt very private and they were very conscientious hosts. Husband and I did an hour walk both days of our stay and anything you could want is walking distance-brunch, coffee, dinner, shopping, etc with a Vons just a short drive away. Excellent excellent 5 star location and hosts. We will definitely be back!

Karen was a terrific host and provided great communication before and during our stay. The house was exactly as pictured, was very clean with fun eclectic decor. It was very close to the walking path that heads from Cardiff by the Sea to Solana Beach.

Sunroom was a good place hang out for relaxing. Proximity to walking path and Cardiff was a definite plus.

Super clean and exceptionally nice people who own the property. Short walk to the beach and close just about anything you want to find. My wife and I enjoyed the back yard flower garden. It's peaceful at night. Will stay again if we make it to the other side of the country again.
10.0 / 10.0
Great location. Bed was very comfortable. Several options for seating areas. Thought was put into every detail. Relaxing views and ocean sounds. Convenient for walking to downtown.I most appreciated the care the owners put into equipping and stocking. I have stayed in many VRBOs where the kitchens were stocked with sub par cooking equipment and a horrible mismatch of plates, cups and silverware. Karen and Craig took into account that people stay in VRBOs in part because they want to prepare meals. The cooking and baking equipment made this possible without making it a chore because we didn’t have to make do with poor equipment. Also, so much gratitude for supplying quality paper goods, soaps and hair care—those details made our stay so comfortable and easy. Highly recommend, and our gratitude is extended for providing a base for a wonderful vacation.

The home was just as described. Roomy, well maintained, beautiful garden!
