Absolutely perfect holiday in this lovely home! Granddaughter loved being walking distance to the neighborhood park. Everyone enjoyed walking to the beach, nearby restaurants, and the best craft beer we’ve ever had. Mike was a considerate and responsive host. We will be back!

We do not have a single complaint about this lovely home. It is so well designed that all 3 of us had space to relax and unwind after a busy Holiday. We have every intention of a return trip.

Traveling with our adult daughter and husband plus our 2 grandchildren, my wife and I were very happy with the house. It was well equipped and the 3 bedrooms were perfect for our Thanksgiving stay. Thanks!

We were four guys reuniting in SoCal after the death of a close friend. The house in Cardiff was perfect for our reunion. Enough parking, patio and rooftop, plenty of space and a ten minute walk to the beach. Only 20 minutes or so from SAN airport. It was a sad occasion, but an important celebration of life and the house and location were perfect for our needs. Would love to stay there again (and maybe never leave 😎), Tom

Property was comfortable and clean. Served us well for exploring the Cardiff area, very walkable. Loved access to the beaches near by! We had 6 over 60 and we all enjoyed our stay. We were even able to get our 101 year old mom up the stairs for a visit. Owner was very responsive for a couple of small issues, and we would definitely stay here again!

This lovely home was perfect for my family of 6.
We were visiting my granddaughter, who lives close by. The house is spacious and well stocked with linens, beach towels and chairs, paper products, kitchen items and so much more.
Thanks for letting us enjoy your lovely home!

If you're looking for a relaxing beach get away this is the place! Easy walk/drive to the beach and restaurants. Great patios to enjoy the weather and the view.
we gathered with family coming from 3 different directions--it was the perfect spot!

Could not have asked for a lovelier place! Plenty of room for our family of 4 to spread out. We ate several meals on the balconies. Less than a 10 minute walk to the beach, delicious restaurants and VG Donuts. Quick 30 minute drive to San Diego’s tourist attractions. The neighborhood is so quiet in spite of all the homes so close together.
This was the cleanest property we’ve rented and Mike was available to answer our tourist questions. Will 100% stay here again the next time we visit San Diego! Thank you for helping us have an amazing first family trip to the West Coast!

This house was perfect for our family of 5 (kids ages 15, 13, and 10). We loved the location which had several walkable restaurants, a donut shop, and an amazing grocery store (holy desserts!), not to mention the beach and the views. This was our home base for easy trips into San Diego as well as just around an hour to get up to Disney. Downtime was spent relaxing and the house was roomy, comfortable, and clean. Owners were so kind and easily accessible!

After a long flight from the east coast to Cardiff, we were overjoyed to find a clean, spacious, welcoming VRBO upon our arrival. The Jacksons were excellent communicators and could not have been betters hosts. Thank you, Mike, for making our CA vacation an excellent experience!

Nice short week in Cardiff escaping the rain in Portland! Well-stocked kitchen. Lots of room for everyone. Good view of the ocean from roof deck. Fully functional grill. Hosts’ communication was excellent, very responsive and kind. Thanks for the late checkout and understanding when I forgot to take out the trash! The park is just behind the alleyway, 1 minute walk. That was a hit. Walking to the beach was more of a hike than I anticipated, same with walking to get groceries at Seaside (about half mile to grocery). Master BR and kids room felt a little “basement” like, even though they’re on ground floor. Why no 5 stars…little things like the old, broken shades on windows, TV in kids room with duct tape around it, little things here and there that need to be upgraded. But it served our needs very well and it was a pleasant experience!

Charlotte and Don’s townhome is located a few blocks from the beach entrance and from the sweet little town of Cardiff. It is very well stocked with extra pillows, toilet paper, etc… And the kitchen pretty much everything you need, even though we didn’t cook, we appreciate places where we actually don’t need to go out and buy everything. The first thing my son did was go to the park less than a block away and play basketball with the new ball in the garage - thank you for that! There are tennis racquets and balls and beach toys/boards, etc. available for use. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, very quiet, comfy beds and lots of room to spread out. The third bedroom has two twins and is smaller but bright and very cozy. Thanks again for offering your place to stay to us. We absolutely loved it and if we come your way again, we would love to stay. Thanks again!

We were a group of friends having a reunion. This property felt like a home: comfortable and stocked with everything we needed. The location is prevent for walking to restaurants and is just a few minutes from San Diego and surrounding small towns. We loved everything about our stay!

The home was as beautiful as the listing described. My family stayed in Cardiff in August of 2022. The weather was perfect which allowed us to take advantage of the short walk to the public beach or a 5 minute drive to the private beaches. The boys made use of the Outdoor
Deck to tan and relax. The quality of the local restaurants and bars allowed us to stay close to home at night which we appreciated after some long drives sightseeing during the day. A stay in this home will guarantee a memorable vacation.

We had an awesome 7 nights, plenty of room for 5 of us, my wife and I and 3 sons ages 15, 13, and 9. The rooftop deck with views of the ocean and stars at night got used every day. Walking distance to great restaurants and the beach. And a very short drive if you need to bring a car. Beach chairs and boogie boards are provided, and the pass to park in a ton of beaches and parks was really nice to have. We used that every day also. Really easy 30 minute or so drive to downtown San Diego and all the different things to do there. Don and Charlotte are great, very nice and easy to communicate with. Overall a phenomenal vacation and would definitely like to come back sometime.

Overall, very good experience! I want to clarify the overall 4 star rating only because I would say I’m very critical and would reserve that for the best of the best. There were two room A/C units (both upstairs) and ceiling fans for the lower bedrooms. Because of the mild climate, the lower level was comfortable with the fans and open windows. Parking wasn’t an issue and if it ever did, there was space in the driveway/garage. Be warned, that oversized vehicles will have some issue with the driveway/garage because it’s very tight in town (it’s California). The beach toys were fantastic and we found everything we needed for a day at the beach. The owner was very responsive to any questions and even suggested a few local places to eat. (VG’s Bakery is the best for donuts!) The only small issue was that the smart door lock wasn’t working. However, the owner provided multiple keys to use and even tried to remedy the situation remotely. Because we had the keys, we didn’t find this to be an issue…just would have been a nice touch. Helpful tips are posted around the house and a large info binder is available as well. For our first time in a vacation rental, it set the bar high.

Perfect location & great property
This is such a wonderful place to stay. It is as advertised…close to the beach and restaurants (walking distance). The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare your meals. There are toys, chairs, and towels for a day at the beach. They even provide a state parks pass so you can access state beaches for free! There are wonderful views of the ocean from the patio and roof deck. Property owners are communicative and easy to work with!

We had a good experience overall. The rooftop was excellent, the rooms except for the one with the double bed was pretty spacious and nobody had to fight for bathroom time because there were plenty of bathrooms. The kitchen also had a lot for us to use. We also enjoyed the beach pass and the beach amenities left for us to use. So many positives. Things to consider: 1. We had 6 people so we came with a larger vehicle (suburban) which made it nearly impossible to use the garage or the driveway as there were 2 other cars utilizing the other side of the garage and driveway. If we had a smaller car this would be no problem. The first couple days there was no parking in front of the house either because other cars were already using the space so we parked up the street a few times. No big deal. 2. The living room tv was complicated to use even after they wrote clear instructions on how to switch it to cable. I felt like we got lucky when it switched to cable. But my mother still enjoyed the tv everyday. We also found that it was warmer upstairs and we combatted this by opening windows and upstairs doors. The windows with screens wouldn’t stay open unless we propped them open with objects and the windows without screens (living room and upstairs bedroom) would stay open by themselves which allowed some bugs in, but again we figured out how to work around this. Lastly, check out was no later than 10 and we we’re in the process of loading up when the cleaners showed up at 9:45 and started cleaning. We probably forgot a couple items (like one of our beach towels) because we started kinda panicking when they got there. Overall, we would definitely stay here again because it was a great place and the positives absolutely outweighed the small negatives but those are just some things we thought about.

The location of the home was perfect being in between Del Mar and Encinitas. Lots of activities in those areas for both the adults and teens. Lots of beach time and great places to dine. Make sure to check out the Seaside Market! The home was so comfortable. Teens stayed in room upstairs which gave them privacy. Lots of places to "get away" from each other and have quite time to include the balcony on the roof or just off the living room. Kitchen was well stocked, and I loved that there was both composting and recycling available.
