Luxury cottage beach retreat—best indoor/outdoor living spaces w/porch, fire pit, hot tub *EV charger available* - walk to the beach!

This home’s recent complete interior and exterior remodel has transformed this home into a beautiful three-bedroom, two-bath, 1-story, 1,700 sq. luxury cottage in the quaint village of Cardiff - where you are close to many local attractions and can also easily enjoy the more “yesteryear” aspects of a small(er) community along the coast. This home is located in the quieter neighborhood area of the oceanside/surf community.

Outside amenities include
a six-person hot tub, a barbecue, an outdoor shower, and a sand play area for bocce ball, corn hole or just hanging out. There is ping pong/table tennis set up in the garage for more indoor/outdoor living fun.

The main area of the home is a lovely open concept with a cathedral ceiling. The great room has a gas fireplace and a large smart TV, open to the adjoining kitchen with large island and many kitchen amenities and also the 6-seat dining area. The space invites you to socialize, celebrate, cook, eat, watch and hang out with friends and family. It is a special treat to open the La Cantina doors from the great room and enjoy the porch with its outdoor oasis anytime of day—while you watch the hummingbirds with your morning coffee or relax at the end of the day to a gorgeous sunset.

This home has three bedrooms: the master is the gem—with king size bed, lots of pillows, a wall-mounted smart TV, and a comfortable sitting/reading nook. The master has easy access to the hot tub outside via french doors. The en suite bath boasts a soaking tub, a large dual head walk-in shower, and a private outdoor shower which is definitely “spa-like”.

The second bedroom has a comfy queen bed and the third bedroom works great to flex for 2-3 people with its two twin beds, one of which has an additional twin trundle bed underneath. The second hallway bathroom has a luxurious deep tub with an overhead shower. All beds and bathrooms are furnished with a generous supply of linens to ensure you are comfortable at all times.

Additional amenities include a washer and dryer in the garage, high-speed WIFI, a Bluetooth stereo receiver and three outdoor driveway parking spots. Some beach chairs and gear are in the garage. EV charging is available to access for an additional fee.

Choose this vacation oasis, one mile or nice walk to San Elijo State Beach and you will definitely feel like you are experiencing a beautiful little slice of paradise. And it is very likely that you will create precious memories here that will last a lifetime. We have many return guests. This home is two-and-a-half miles from San Diego Botanic Garden and six miles from Powerhouse Park &Beach.

Serene welcoming environment

This home is a treasure. The floor plan is ideal for a family. The front patio area, firepit, offer intimate entertaining. The backyard offers fun and lively interaction. The kitchen is well stocked and both the primary suite and two guests bedrooms offer a most enjoyable stay.

This house was beautiful, clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Access was easy with a touch pad code on the door. Great outside space, walking distance to the ocean, nice restaurants & market nearby. Vacasa sent an employee to haul the trash cans to the street & bring them back in on trash collection day. First time we've experienced that for a vacation rental house. We had a perfect stay and hope to come back again.

Best girlfriend weekend

Me and my life long friends gathered over the long weekend to surprise one of the ladies birthday who lives in the area. This home was perfect for us. So many areas to gather amd spend time catching up. We loved the firepit in mornings over coffee. Then in the evenings a warm hottub, was a perfect way to end the day. We would like to make this an annual event. Love this place.

Nice place

I would have liked to have given it 5 stars, but check-out time was 10am, instead of 11am or 12, and totally not negotiable. We were visiting from out of town with teenagers, and our request to stay just one or two hours later (we would gladly have paid a fee) was met with just robot emails and corporate helpdesks that just said no. This isn't a mom and pop airbnb, it's some corporate real estate company that you can't actually talk to a human. Lovely place, but i won't be returning.

Amazing place!

This was the perfect house to rent for our biannual surf trip. Fit 4 people very comfortably. Everything was very clean and new, rooms large. Hot tub was great for relaxing after a day of surfing and we had a ton of fun with the corn hole and ping pong table in the garage. We accidentally locked ourselves out one day and Vacasa sent someone over quickly to help us get it resolved. It was very pleasant just hanging out in the front area with chairs and a fire pit. Highly recommend this place!

This place was perfect for us. It was a girl's trip with 3 Octogenarian sisters and 3 cousins in their 60's, and we had a fabulous time visiting in such a beautiful setting. Clean and modern decor and very nicely appointed. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautifully decorated, equipped with all you need for travel with kids (e.g. pack and play, lots of toys, kids' utensils, etc.), ideal kitchen for cooking, great dining area for family meals, and ideally located relative to the Beach, Encinitas, La Jolla, and San Diego. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Great stay

The house is located on a quiet street with easy access parking. You can walk to the beach but it a good workout. The Encinitas park is very close with a nice 1 mile loop and popular skate board park plus more. The house is adorable with a great open concept. The front deck has a gas fire pit. The backyard has hot tub and area for games. The ping pong table is great fun. The house is very accommodating for families with young adults.

Fun times in Cardiff

This home was immaculate ! It truly looks like the pictures in the listing - open breezy great room with direct access to the beautifully landscaped outdoor area and contemporary decor. The beds were super comfy ! Easy walk to a local park with a fun play area for kids . Close to downtown, bike trails and the beach Make sure to check out the seaside market and if you are a meat eater -try the Cardiff crack- simply delicious! Lovely neighborhood!
