Cardiff Beach Home, Ocean Views, Amazing Sunsets, Walk to beach and everywhere

Come vacation in paradise at Cardiff-by-the-Sea with breathtaking Ocean views from your vacation beach house. Watch the beautiful sunsets from the living room decks and private roof top patio. Find out why Cardiff-by-the-Sea is one of the most desired vacation areas of the World. Bask in the endless sun’s rays.

This fabulous 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is in the walking district and only 1 ½ short blocks from the beach. Exquisitely decorated with fine art and designer furnishings. Entertain or sunbathe in the large rooftop patio and enjoy a glass of wine while watching hot air balloons and the sun set over the blue Pacific ocean. After just a few hours here, you’ll be immersed in the laid-back lifestyle of a friendly Southern California beach community.

Our place is attractive and comfortable for both adults and children with a large master suite with Cal King bed, sitting area, large walk-in closet, expansive double bath, and private patio. The second bedroom has a queen bed, walk-in closet, private deck and adjacent full bath, plus a computer desk. The third bedroom has two twin beds with memory foam that convert to a king if desired. Each bedroom has HDTV

The living room has a 55” 4K Ultra HD Smart TV. The bedrooms each have 32” LED HDTV. Each room has an overhead remote fan and additional high-quality inflatable twin bed is available.

Feel the invigorating Ocean breeze when you go for an early morning walk on the beach and catch a glimpse of the pelicans, dolphins, and numerous sea birds. Of course there are surfers and even whales -in season. Located on a quiet street in the “walking district”, our beach house backs up to beautiful Glen Park.

With the playground for the kids and picnic tables for all, you can play a game of tennis, basketball, or volleyball or relax on the lawn and read a book. Within the “walking district” you’ll find all the amenities and services you’ll want including fine and casual dining, a gourmet food market (Seaside Market), Patagonia surf clothing, Starbucks coffee, the library, post office, gym, cleaners, and surf shops.

Have breakfast at the local surfers café Pipes, lunch at the healthy fare - Ki’s, watch the big game at the 101 sports bar - and dinner at one of the beach front restaurants such as the Chart House, Las Olas, and Pacific grill -, all within short walking distance.

Cardiff-by-the-Sea is a charming seaside village with wonderful unique beaches for walking, bird watching, surfing, boogie boarding and swimming. The coastal climate is amazingly comfortable and moderate all year round. The sunsets are spectacular.

Enjoy all the nearby attractions -- The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch, Legoland, Disneyland to the north, La Costa Spa, the high style of Cedros Design District and Del Mar - home of the Del Mar racetrack and fairgrounds. Hike in the cliffs at Torrey Pines or play a round of golf at the famous Torrey Pines Golf Resort - site of the 2008 US Open.

San Diego is less then 30 minutes away. Be sure to visit Sea World and the world famous San Diego Zoo and Safari Park, wander through the museums and gardens of Balboa Park, the timeless settlement at Old Town. Dine in the romantic evening at the Gas Lamp quarter. There is whale watching, hang gliding, dinners cruises, tours of the USS Midway and the Star of India sailing ship, even a visit to Point Loma and the famous Del Hotel on Coronado Island. As a fun alternative, take the Coaster train down to San Diego and Old Town. You can even take your bike with you on board.

Excellent home!
Very nice location close to the beach, didn't get to enjoy the view much as it was foggy most of the stay. Overall, very comfy home. There was only a slight cleaning issue in that, some of the rugs were a little dirty. Also, the upstairs toilet would not stop running.

Great view and lots of space.
This was overall a great stay, with lots of space and great views of the ocean from the roof. The kitchen was fully stocked and would have allowed for cooking if there weren’t so many restaurants nearby to try. We enjoyed walking to get coffee and donuts in the morning and sitting on the roof . Fyi, The listing says air conditioned but only the top floor has vented window units which are not nearly enough to cool the main floor.

We have stayed here in the past and staying here again this year reminded us of what a great spot it is. The accommodations are very comfortable and with all you need being just a short walk away, makes for a very relaxing vacation. The view and breeze on the rooftop deck at the end of the day is the icing on the cake.

The whole experience staying here was relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable. Communication with Mike was easy and he was always quick to respond. The house has everything you need: beach gear, cooking gear and it really has some unbelievable views. Super comfy beds. We all slept like babies. Can’t recommend this place enough. We will definitely back soon!

Mike had many amenities (beach towels, chairs, tennis rackets, make-up remover, puzzles, loads of towels, paper towels, toilet paper, detergent, tissues, dishes, and anything else you might need). There were notes about the house to inform us of things. Location was walking distance to the beach, with a huge park even closer. He was very accomodating. Thank you!

The property was perfect for our 4 day stay for our son's wedding, ample space for the Groomsmen to get ready for the wedding. Walking distance to neighborhood park and restaurants and shops. Parking on street or back alley which was hard to find at first. Overall, great property.

Perfect Place
My family was in the area to celebrate the marriage of a very close friend. The Cardiff beach home was perfect. It is in a great neighborhood and located so close to many beaches. Restaurants, food markets, and shops are within walking distance. We loved watching the sunset from the rooftop deck. We didn't want to leave when it was time to head back to Colorado. Communication was great when we had a couple of issues. Highly recommend.

We will look to stay there next time we are in the area. Owner consistently avail when I had questions before and after I booked. The unit has wonderful indoor and outdoor spaces. I had a family event about 30 minutes northeast of Cardiff and also visited the San Diego area and the condo was the perfect spot for all of this. The immediate area has lovely things to do as well.
