Feel the invigorating Ocean breeze when you go for an early morning walk on the beach and catch a glimpse of the pelicans, dolphins, and numerous sea birds. Of course there are surfers and even whales -in season. Located on a quiet street in the “walking district”, our beach house backs up to beautiful Glen Park.

Cardiff Get Away
We were there for 5 days and used as our anchor for exploration of all the fun things to do and see in the area. It was a wonderful place for us to begin the day and end the day every day. All of the personal decor left in place by the owners was much appreciated and enjoyed and all of the appliances were first rate. Highly recommend this stay.

Cardiff Getaway
We have stayed here in the past and staying here again this year reminded us of what a great spot it is. The accommodations are very comfortable and with all you need being just a short walk away, makes for a very relaxing vacation. The view and breeze on the rooftop deck at the end of the day is the icing on the cake.

Excellent home!
Very nice location close to the beach, didn't get to enjoy the view much as it was foggy most of the stay. Overall, very comfy home. There was only a slight cleaning issue in that, some of the rugs were a little dirty. Also, the upstairs toilet would not stop running.

Perfect Beach getaway
The whole experience staying here was relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable. Communication with Mike was easy and he was always quick to respond. The house has everything you need: beach gear, cooking gear and it really has some unbelievable views. Super comfy beds. We all slept like babies. Can’t recommend this place enough. We will definitely back soon!

Great view and lots of space.
This was overall a great stay, with lots of space and great views of the ocean from the roof. The kitchen was fully stocked and would have allowed for cooking if there weren’t so many restaurants nearby to try. We enjoyed walking to get coffee and donuts in the morning and sitting on the roof . Fyi, The listing says air conditioned but only the top floor has vented window units which are not nearly enough to cool the main floor.
