"Enjoyed one lovely week with my 9 yo and hubs. Amazing location and killer outdoor space. My son was enamored with the loft bed we dubbed his "nest". Highly recommend the space!"

    We had a wonderful stay at this cottage in Cardiff! Lynn, Kit & Tyler were very responsive and awesome hosts. It was the perfect home base to visit our family in Carls Bad. Our 20-something sons loved the proximity to 2 great surf breaks and my husband and I loved the walking/biking/running path to soak up the views and pick up some famous VG donuts on the way home. Excellent experience all around, will definitely be back!
