Lovely with exception
This is a fantastic location and clean and comfortable. Would recommend having sharp knives for when you bbq,blender for smoothies and fun sunset drinks, and better coffee maker with larger coffee cups. Loved the double oven for cooking our turkey and dressing.

Great Place
The Cardiff Retreat is very much as advertised. Everything was new or recently updated. The barbecue and view from the porch make for a lovely dinner venue. The game room in the garage was a great play area for my grandson who visited. The unit is .5 miles up hill from the beach so not walkable (at least not for us) but an easy drive. The benefits of being up the hill are the view and breeze. We will rent this place again.

Great location
Great stay for a family of 4. Loved the ping pong table. The only hiccup was that we were delayed check-in by a couple of hours due to property still needing to be cleaned. Fortunately, my dad lives a block away, so we waited at his house. Pull out sofa was great for a teenage boy wanting extra space, not wanting to share a room with his teen sister.

Great place
The views are fantastic and the home is very comfortable. The only reason for 4 stars is the kitchen has only basic dishware and it would not be possible to cook an entire meal there.
