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.

Cardiff comfort

My daughter and I don’t get to see one another much, so this was a great opportunity to enjoy each other while visiting family in the area. The place is pretty quiet, and comfortable, and offers a lovely view of the ocean. A sweet mother, daughter getaway.

Great, cozy space

The apartment is a very nice living space and very comfortable. We enjoyed the views of the ocean from the deck. It has a lovely breakfast nook also with a view of the ocean. We very much enjoyed using this place as a base for the other things we were doing in the area. It was a very convenient location

Lovely place, well situated in Cardiff

We were there to visit family, so used this more like a place to come back to at the end of the day than a home away from home. It was well appointed -- it would be hard to imagine anything you might need that was not provided, though I did not cook, so can't say about the kitchen. From our perspective, the best feature was the location. In a quiet neighborhood, but really convenient (about a 15 min or less walk) to all the restaurants, the beach, etc. We would certainly rent this place again.

I'm retired Navy and like to keep everything organized and running well. It's an occupational habit.

The sunsets from the front deck are great. You can see LaJolla from here and the Coronado Islands in Mexico on a clear day (50 miles away)
