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.

Perfect Beach getaway
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.
