Private guest house within gated property, outdoor garden seating
About this bed and breakfast
Situated in Cardiff, this lovely bed and breakfast for $177 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. This cozy, secluded casita has total privacy on the 1.4-acre property of a fully gated home on one of the most beautiful/walk-able streets in Cardiff. French doors open to a large peaceful outdoor seating deck underneath a massive avocado tree, overlooking a private garden. Relax in the hammock while reading a book or take a 3 minute drive or bike ride into town. Small non-shedding dogs welcome for a $25 nightly fee! Please select that you will be bringing a pet when you go to book! We are located less than a mile from the I-5 freeway, just a mile and a half from the beach and downtown Cardiff, two miles to downtown Encinitas and the Encinitas Botanical Gardens, three miles to downtown Solana Beach and four miles to the famous Del Mar Race track and La Costa Spa. Additional destinations in Carlsbad including Legoland, great shopping/outlets and restaurants are only a 20 minute drive north. The San Diego Airport, Zoo, Wild Animal Park, and Sea World are 30 minutes south. Traffic dependent, DisneyLand in Anaheim is typically an hour and downtown LA less than two hours. You will have everything you need for a peaceful getaway. Amenities include a full kitchen (gas stove, oven, microwave, fridge, and Keurig), full size bed, washer/dryer, new 40” smart tv with Netflix, very large closet, two private entrances, and parking directly in front of the casita. If needed, we have a pack-n-play, or we can include a twin size air mattress for a child (which can fit in the closet). Unfortunately, due to Encinitas short term rental requirements, minimum booking must be 31 days.

Cottage was perfect for 2 people and a small dog, quiet, peaceful everything you needed for a couple of weeks. The owners were very nice and helpful if we needed anything. Will probably stay there again.

I loved my stay at this lovely Spanish-style casita! I spent time here while house hunting throughout SoCal. I worked online (Zoom sessions no problem!) from the desk inside, which I positioned to look out the windows/French doors to the lovely surrounding garden. The property has beautiful tropical landscaping, including an avocado tree in the patio area private to this cottage. The neighborhood is great for running and walking, and there is a peek-a-boo ocean view from the kitchen (and around the neighborhood). The w/d is awesome for longer stays. It's the perfect homebase from which to explore. The owners are wonderful people who were so kind and accommodating. There is a 3-4 bar 5G ultra-wide band signal here. I appreciated having that as a backup, if needed, for my work. I am grateful for my time here.

The casita is a jewel: quiet, comfortable, lovely. We really felt at home. And the spacious and tranquil deck area got a lot of use. Overall, the whole experience was beyond even what we had hoped for. Thanks!

Old building with mini kitchen, no dishwasher or dish drain; no counter space adequate for meal prep, pots pans utensils etc suitable for camping trip maybe.
Micro bathroom, had to turn sideways to get in shower, toilet about 1 ft hi, tight squeeze between sink and wall.
No table to eat inside; nice outside seating and ambiance but it was usually too cold to eat there.
Cabin warm, tv streaming services only. Very slow internet. Something bangs on roof when there is wind.
Would not stay again.

Nice and quiet, family atmosphere. Well equipped for a studio. We were able to find pretty much everything we needed to make ourselves at home. It was great to be able to do some cooking. Encinitas is a great location. Not as touristy as LaJolla or as bougie as Del Mar. There's a YMCA. Restaurants we liked were The Crack Shack, Potato Shack, and Zumbar. And yet, with easy access to the 5, still pretty convenient to San Diego. I was able to get to my work in UTC with minimal hassle. The owners live right there on the property, and they made sure we had everything we needed. They were very laid back. Highly recommend.

This property is very cute and charming. Located in a very nice neighborhood, very safe, on a very beautiful property. The casita is separate from the main house and has a nice private outdoor area with beautiful mature trees and a deck - it is not fenced in separately from the rest of the property. It is nicely decorated inside and is perfect for 2 people (and a small dog - as we had). Love that it's dog friendly. The few improvements that could be made are (1) there is no A/C so I would not recommend staying here during a warm week as it was really way too hot inside. The owner was super responsive and nice and had a fan dropped off which helped a bit, but it really needs A/C to be bearable on those hot days, and (2) the mattress could use some upgrading. Other than that it really is a charming detached studio that I would recommend, especially for couples bringing their fur babies.

The Perfect Getaway
I absolutely fell in love with this place! The location is great, the space has everything you need, and the garden patio was the perfect place to relax. The bed was comfy, too! I loved having a kitchen available so I could make dinner after a day at the beach instead of having to go out for food. Jen and Seth's attention to detail makes this place such a gem. Definitely staying here the next time I get the chance!

Perfect weekend stay
This property was exactly as listed. Beautiful casita at a quiet gated home. Casita is detached from the main house giving it a more secluded feeling than other rentals in the area. Owners made it very easy to check in and out. We slept very comfortably with the windows open. Never heard anything while sleeping. Great location for beaches, biking, sightseeing and most important to us, the Del Mar race track. We look forward to staying at this property again. 5+ stars! Thanks Jen & Seth

This cottage is the epitome of tranquility. The colors, the decor, the layout provide you with the perfect environment of ease. It has everything you need, and is a part of a beautiful property in really awesome neighborhood. Little garden deck just off the porch is a great little touch as well. Close enough to the beach and all the restaurants in downtown Cardiff and Encinitas. I'll definitely stay here again.

Great Getaway!
What a great spot with fantastic hosts! Jen and Seth were so sweet upon arrival. The casita is perfect - tons of special touches, full kitchen, great patio. It’s just minutes from the beach so you can dabble in Cardiff or Encinitas or just enjoy the quiet on property. Highly recommend this spot! It was a great weekend away from the city!

Very clean and super cozy!
This place was in the perfect neighborhood for our little getaway. The street is beautiful, peaceful, safe and very runner/biker friendly. The casita was super cozy and very clean. We loved having a little porch off the side too. The owner, Jen, was very quick to handle the couple extra requests I had. We would definitely stay here again next time we’re in town.
