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. Walk up the beautifully landscaped walkway and open the gate to a beautifully presented outside-shaded seating cluster that instantly invites you to relax. A couple of steps down a beautiful fire pit area with comfortable seating also awaits you. This partly grassy outdoor area is a great place to enjoy morning coffee or the ever-changing colors of the western sunsets. Additional outside amenities include a six-person Jacuzzi, a barbecue, an outdoor shower, and a bocci ball court. Also, a Ping-Pong table is set up in the garage so indoor/outdoor living and entertainment are super easy here.

A beautiful cathedral ceiling great room features a living room with a gas fireplace, a large TV, and a ceiling fan - all of which you can enjoy from the comfortable seating cluster. La Cantina doors open to the beautiful outside oasis. A dining area for 6 accompanies the living room area, as does a beautifully remodeled kitchen that has all the appliances and amenities you need to satisfy all of your culinary desires. Just add the food and the camaraderie and have fun. Three high-top stools at the kitchen island are a great place to supervise - or cheer on - the cook.

This home has three bedrooms: a king master with a ceiling fan, a large TV, and a comfortable seating nook. It has easy access to the hot tub outside and an en suite bath with a large soaking tub and a large walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a queen bed and the third bedroom has two twin beds, one of the twins has an additional twin trundle bed underneath, so this home comfortably sleeps seven beds. Each bedroom also has a ceiling fan and they share a beautiful bath with a high-end tub with an overhead shower. All beds and bathrooms are furnished with a generous supply of premiere 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 you can connect to, and three driveway parking spots.

Choose this vacation oasis, one mile or 10-minute 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. This home is two-and-a-half miles from San Diego Botanic Garden and six miles from Powerhouse Park & Beach.

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!

Location and house are amazing. Really impressed with all of the amenities. We over packed since the house had nearly everything needed to take care of and entertain our toddler. Hope to come back soon.

Ideal for stay with kids
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!

This place was such a nice getaway for our weeklong stay in Cardiff. The kitchen was stocked with any appliance you may need. And plenty of board games and activities to keep you busy when you're not enjoying the hot tub.

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! Wonderful family vacation

Beautiful House and Location!
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful home. Great location, quiet neighborhood, and the house was perfectly appointed. Our only complaints were that the hot tub was quite dirty when we arrived, and we could have used some extra towels during our stay. But other than that, it was perfect! Lots of stuff for our kids to do (ping pong, bocce, mini basketball hoop), beds were comfy, kitchen tools were fully stocked, and the outdoor space was beautiful. We will definitely be back!
