About this property
ocean view with beach vibe in Cardiff by the Sea
This is a 750 sq. ft. above garage apartment. It's modern, clean and open. Great views of the sunsets over the ocean and beaches. Safe, quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. It is a 5-minute walk to the State Park Beach and surfing spots. We are conveniently located within 5-minute walk of restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores.
We are on-site owners, who are available for questions, recommendations, and help. There is a private entrance on the side of the house with designated off-street parking. The designated spot is right in front of the entrance to your get-away.
We have beach toys and boogie boards for the kids. No children 7 and under please, including infants, due to stairs, balconies, and breakable items. This is not an event center. We want this to be your sanctuary and not shared with those you may be visiting. You will be in a very quiet neighborhood to enjoy the sights and sounds of Cardiff by the Sea.

About the host
Hosted by Lance Cummings
We are a professional working family with two kids. We love to play in the ocean and be outside all the time. If you're new to Cardiff, we can certainly tell you some great local establishments to make your trip the best one ever!
I'm retired Navy and like to keep everything organized and running well. It's an occupational habit.
