Seaboard Lofts is a modern architectural local landmark built in 1979. The duplex sits on the hill giving each identical unit the feeling of living in a high rise while enjoying 180 degree views of the ocean featuring the view of white water waves.

The upper unit that we refer to as the Penthouse (RNTL-014530-2021) occupies an entire floor. The Penthouse has 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, including a spacious master suite with walk-in closet, uniquely designed curved walls and oceanviews in both bedrooms. Maximum occupancy is 5 adults. The Penthouse has access to a private garage where the laundry is located. There are 2 parking spaces on the property dedicated to the Penthouse, accessible from the back alley of the property.

The units feature new remote controlled blackout, solar combo blinds and air conditioning to add to your comfort. The Penthouse shares dynamic views while having the convenience to be located in the walking district of Cardiff-by-the-Sea which features fine dining and Seaside Market. As a corner lot location, the units are located on a fairly busy street whose sporadic noise is partially addressed by the design and modern windows found throughout the units.
Each 1128 square foot unit has approximately 30 feet of glass sliding doors that opens to a 300 square foot balcony where you can enjoy the breeze while watching the waves of the ocean from the combined 1400 square feet of living, dining and kitchen areas. The unit includes a fully equipped kitchen, 65 inch HDTV, electric fireplace, high speed internet for your enjoyment.
Both units share a fenced front yard which provides an ocean view sitting area with fire pit, BBQ, outdoor showers and a jacuzzi hot tub.

RNTL-014530-2021.Our city requires our guests to sign a rental agreement and our insurance requires our guests to acknowledge the hot tub rules. Upon booking, you will receive emails that lead you to our rental agreements and the security deposit form. Further, due to extreme allergies of the owner this unit adheres to a strict no pet policy.

    The kitchen is not really outfitted for cooking. Two knives only - very dull... pots and pans minimal. No mixer etc etc. not a big deal if eating out every meal but it was the holidays and we were trying to spend a bit more time at home.

    This place is beautiful, clean and in a great location. We would definitely return. The only issue is the electrical in the back of the house kept tripping and some outlets didn't work.

    We had the most amazing time staying at this gem of a beach cottage! Stunning views, walkable to great restaurants, shops, and the beach. The place is spacious, modern, and incredibly cozy. We would definitely come back!

    We loved staying here. We could walk to everything and the view was amazing. The condo is perfectly equipped and the decor is classy and sleek. We were able to get work done on line when needed and because of the magnificent view and location, we didn't feel like we were missing out. Walking everywhere was great.

    This is such a beautiful property and location; incredibly clean and the backyard design is gorgeous and felt very private and resort-like. However, as a few other reviews have mentioned, it is right on the busiest street - probably in the whole town as it’s the main street right off the freeway exit for Cardiff. So it was pretty disappointing to sit outside to enjoy the view and just be blasted with street noise all day. It also made the bedroom where our baby was sleeping incredibly loud. That same bedroom also did not have any air conditioning, so it was not ideal for a young baby as it was sometimes 80+ degrees in there despite the ceiling and floor fan. If you don’t mind noise and don’t have young kids this would be a beautiful spot still!!

    Property was exactly as described in VRBO Listing. Open floor plan and wall of ocean views. Kitchen was very well appointed.

    The Penthouse was an excellent choice for our family. I think the property description undersells the amazing ocean views. Felt like we could see the ocean from LA to Mexico. Enjoyed drinking our coffee and wine on the balcony and watching the ocean. There was plenty of space for our family of four. The bedrooms are very comfortable and so nice to have two bathrooms. The kitchen was solid for cooking meals. Kept the balcony doors open to catch cool breeze. Moonlight beach is a 5 minute drive. Lourdes Mexican restaurant very close walk, has great tacos. Yummy pizza close by too. Can’t wait to stay here again.

    We rented the Penthouse 3 years ago and were happy to stay here again this year. The location was perfect--walked often. It is spotless and has everything you need. We took advantage of all of the amenities, enjoying the hot tub nightly and cooked an amazing dinner for Father's Day. Cristina was very responsive. Can't say enough about our experience.
