About this house rental

This is a 750 sq. ft. above garage apartment. It's modern, clean, and open. Great views of the sunsets over the ocean and beaches. Safe, quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. It is a 5-minute walk to the State Park Beach and surfing spots. We are conveniently located within 5-minute walk of restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores.
We are on-site owners available for questions, recommendations, and assistance. There is a private entrance on the side of the house with designated off-street parking. The designated spot is right in front of the entrance to your get-away. There is an aqua-colored stucco wall with the same color wood on the top.

We have beach toys and boogie boards for the kids. No children under 10 y.o. please, including infants, due to stairs, balconies, and breakable items.

This is not an event center. We want this to be your sanctuary and not shared with those you may be visiting in the area. You will be in a very quiet neighborhood to enjoy the sights and sounds of Cardiff by the Sea. We have a no-pets policy for the unit due to frequent guests' allergies.

This was an amazing place to return to and relax at after long days! Easy neighborhood to get around and exceptional communication with the owners. Will 100% stay here again if our work brings us back.

The location was perfect for beach goers like ourselves. The owners are so nice and answered all of our questions. My husband and I needed a quiet lazy getaway. This lovely place checked all the boxes. We will definitely return.

My daughter and I don’t get to see one another much, so this was a great opportunity to enjoy each other while visiting family in the area. The place is pretty quiet, and comfortable, and offers a lovely view of the ocean. A sweet mother, daughter getaway.

10.0 / 10.0

The apartment is a very nice living space and very comfortable. We enjoyed the views of the ocean from the deck. It has a lovely breakfast nook also with a view of the ocean. We very much enjoyed using this place as a base for the other things we were doing in the area. It was a very convenient location

Perfect quiet Cardiff location. Walk to everything in Cardiff and Encinitas. Well equipped unit, communicative owners that were great. Highly recommend!

10.0 / 10.0

We were there to visit family, so used this more like a place to come back to at the end of the day than a home away from home. It was well appointed -- it would be hard to imagine anything you might need that was not provided, though I did not cook, so can't say about the kitchen. From our perspective, the best feature was the location. In a quiet neighborhood, but really convenient (about a 15 min or less walk) to all the restaurants, the beach, etc. We would certainly rent this place again.

10.0 / 10.0

Great location in quiet area with Seaside market and Pipes beach a short 10 minute walk. Great views. The property could use more outdoor space, but for the price it was excellent.

10.0 / 10.0

This was exactly the place we were hoping for - and more! Very quiet neighborhood setting, very walkable (about 1/2 mile) to market, restaurants, walking trails, etc. Easy access to private entrance. Beautiful balcony views. We kept the windows open our entire visit, A/C was available but unnecessary. Great water pressure in shower. Well-equipped apartment with all you could want, even in the kitchen. Our hosts were very gracious and we felt very much at home here, only regret our stay was not longer.

10.0 / 10.0

My friend and I stayed here for a quick girls trip and it’s such a cute place! Clean, well stocked with extras in the bathroom in case you forget something. Kitchen well stocked. Great water pressure in the shower! Close to town. It has a view of the ocean from the living room and patio. We had an issue with the shower door not closing and he responded right away and fixed it right away. I would definitely stay here again in the future!

Really enjoyed the stay. Property is great/well maintained, easy to access and ready for you relax. Lance was very helpful and welcoming. Amazing view and easy walk to stuff to do. Thanks for the use of beach gear....

10.0 / 10.0

We needed to escape the heat and have a some beach time and this was the place to do it. This is a cute and roomy apartment above the owners home. You will not be disappointed this place it all from ac to beach chairs and boogie boards. We did not cook in the apartment but it did look pretty stocked. There are 2 nice size bedrooms well cleaned and bathroom good size as well. The front deck we sat looked out to the ocean with some beverages which had a nice breeze. You also have your own little area to park in front of the house which was a plus since the place is in a quiet neighborhood. The beach is maybe 10 minute drive several parking lots to go to. We loved the area had lots of local places to eat and coffee shops and a grocery store not to far. Lance the owner was easy to work with great communication. We would definitely rent again from him.

Spent an amazing week living like a local, and even saw some whales from the balcony! The neighborhood, host, and local community really made this place feel like home instantly. Great location to running on the PCH, Cardiff, and Encinitas!

In this world of online reviews, it seems that just about everything gets 5 stars. We wish we had the opportunity to grade this VRBO with a higher rating since we would clearly give it 6 or even higher. This spacious unit overlooks the ocean. It is bright and so easy to live in. Lance and Michele thought about absolutely everything to make our stay delightful. It was clean, it was quiet, it was well equipped, it was private, it was inviting, it almost felt like home. Directions to use any amenity were clearly provided. And the location could not be beat, within walking distance of a delightful village. It is highly recommended!!

10.0 / 10.0

This was a great place to stay over the Thanksgiving holiday. In a residential neighborhood, so it was very quite. A parking place and all the utensils you need in the kitchen. Beds were comfortable and I have to say the shower pressure was to die for. Easy to communicate with owner, who lives downstairs, but was never intrusive. Just a great place with a view of the ocean!.

Three adults stayed at apartment for four days. Everything exactly as advertised. Extremely clean and quiet. Hosts were immediately responsive to one issue which was my failure not theirs relating to wifi-it worked perfectly. Just perfect for our needs near beach and Encinitas.

I visit the Cardiff area a couple times a year and use VRBO frequently. This property was on an incredibly quiet street, had amazing ocean views, was extremely clean and had all of the amenities you could ask for. The owner is very friendly and very quick to any questions you might have. Highly recommend, this is a gem!

Great neighborhood, close to beaches. Place is small and cozy. Sleeping is tight with 2 full size beds. Clean accommodations. Hosts were very generous. Overall, enjoyed the place.

10.0 / 10.0

Enjoyed our stay, and Lance & Michelle were excellent host. The location is perfect. Quiet neighborhood, yet close to everything. I would give it six stars if available. Perfect place for couples, or small family. Having the beach accessories was a huge bonus; chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, cooler, etc. If I had to pick one word for those location, it would be - relaxing!

10.0 / 10.0

This apartment was a great fit for our family of 4 for 3 days. The location was perfect! Close to several beaches and good restaurants and shops nearby. The host provided all the essentials that we needed and the apartment was clean and comfortable and had a great view of the ocean. They go out of their way to make sure their guests enjoy themselves. We had a great time and would stay here again!

This is a beautiful property with a multi-million dollar view, and walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the beach. Our hosts could not be nicer and the experience was extremely pleasant. We hope to be back soon.

10.0 / 10.0

Couldn’t if I tried to think of something negative to say about this property. Immaculate inside, great water pressure in the shower, plenty of towels. If you wanted to prepare your own meals you easily could in the well stocked kitchen. But all of this pales in comparison with the view of the Pacific Ocean from the beautiful balcony. If we weren’t there to spend time with our son we could have spent hours just relaxing on that balcony. Thank you Lance for being such a great host and taking such good care of your rental. We will be back!

We enjoyed our brief stay very much. Location is amazing. The owners went above and beyond to communicate and accommodate us. We will return soon!

We enjoyed our week-long stay in this wonderful space with an ocean view to die for! Lance and Michelle did an amazing job of hosting us for our 40th anniversary vacation, stocking the place well with everything from paper goods to those travel shampoos you forget to bring! Nice, quiet location and close to Hwy 101. Comfortable mattresses, well-outfitted kitchen, and overall a superb place to enjoy paradise for a while!

10.0 / 10.0

We really loved this property! The photos online do not do it justice. You walk into the living room for the first time and see an incredible view of the ocean! We spent 6 days here and it was very relaxing and comfortable. Lance was very accommodating and checked with us several times to make sure all was well and if we needed anything. We highly recommend this property and would definitely rent this one again in the future.

We were thrilled at the location, accommodations and beach view from the living room/balcony. Our host was gracious and always available if needed. We have stayed in the area numerous times, but this experience did exceed our previous experience. We would stay here again.

10.0 / 10.0

We immediately felt at home, enjoyed all of the spaces, rooms, and decks, appreciated the short walk to downtown Encinitas, made great use of the beach toys, slept really well every night. Will definitely stay again given the opportunity to visit the area in the future. Lance was great and communicative throughout in the weeks ahead of our stay and then during our stay even though he was out of the country. Thanks for such wonderful accommodations, Lance.
