Amazing home!

We had an amazing staycation here after being displaced due to flooding in our own home. Management had the place ready for us quickly for our last minute booking. The layout is amazing, the location is perfect, the views are to die-for and the house was incredibly well appointed with all we needed to cook, etc. Highly recommend this property and management group, it was such a welcome relief to the chaos we’ve been dealing with the last 2 weeks!

Excellent property, prime location.

I stayed here for four nights in October and had a great experience. I was in town on business, so unfortunately didn’t spend all that much time at the property, but it was clean, well-appointed and in a fantastic location. I’ve been coming to the Cardiff/Del Mar/Solana Beach area every October for work the last seven years and this has been one of my favorite properties I’ve stayed at. Communication with the host property company was very consistent and positive and they were very responsive. Would highly recommend.

Long Weekend Oasis

Loved the local vibe. Quiet neighborhood. View was amazing. Sunset and sunrise spectacular!! Upstairs was decorated and set up to enjoy the ocean views and be comfortable. Wanted for nothing. Comfortable, cozy, clean and cottage feel. Thoughtfully done. Would come back again!

The house is exactly how it appears in the listing. It’s clean, open, and the views are amazing. We loved our stay and didn’t want to leave. Opening up the windows and large folding glass door in the morning to let the breeze in and sitting on the deck with a coffee was a highlight of the stay. You can walk to coffee, the market, and the beach super easily. The parking space out front was great for our truck. One thing to note, there are a lot of stairs to get from the street to the upper level, it wasn’t an issue for us by any means but if you struggle with stairs it could be a bit cumbersome. All in all, one of our favorite VRBO that we have stayed in, in any location. We loved it.

Beautiful spot

This beautiful home is perfectly designed as a vacation stay, and feels even larger and more lovely than the photos show. The furniture is comfortable, the rooms are private, the views of the ocean, sunrise, and sunset are fantastic, and the kitchen is well-stocked (we actually were able to bake cookies, and cook some nice dinners here). Though the weather didn't encourage swimming, there is plenty of beach gear provided; we did enjoy the indoor games and puzzles provided. Everything about this place feels generous, comfortable, and beautiful. And Cardiff itself is wonderfully walkable -- to restaurants, Seaside Market, parks, tennis court, shopping, and the beach. Definitely hope to come back!

The location and deck are great. Much of the interior could use sprucing up - there is not attention to detail. For example, there are 3 dinner forks and 3 salad forks; pots could be replaced. That said, when we sent a picture of a chipped wine glass, new ones were left on the front porch for us. Living room furniture and rug are "tired". There needs to be lighting on the path on the side of the house coming from the driveway. The management company was responsive - sometimes in AI form. Dish washer needs replacing.

It was a bit pricey but worth the splurge. Lovely view with natural light and spacious bedrooms and bathrooms.
