This is a 750 sq. ft. above garage apartment. It's modern, clean, and open. Great views of the sunsets over the ocean and beaches. Safe, quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. It is a 5-minute walk to the State Park Beach and surfing spots. We are conveniently located within 5-minute walk of restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores.
We are on-site owners available for questions, recommendations, and assistance. There is a private entrance on the side of the house with designated off-streetparking. The designated spot is right in front of the entrance to your get-away. There is an aqua-colored stucco wall with the same color wood on the top.

We have beach toys and boogie boards for the kids. No children under 10 y.o. please, including infants, due to stairs, balconies, and breakable items.

This is not an event center. We want this to be your sanctuary and not shared with those you may be visiting in the area. You will be in a very quiet neighborhood to enjoy the sights and sounds of Cardiff by the Sea. We have a no-pets policy for the unit due to frequent guests' allergies.

    The location was perfect for beach goers like ourselves. The owners are so nice and answered all of our questions. My husband and I needed a quiet lazy getaway. This lovely place checked all the boxes. We will definitely return.

    My daughter and I don’t get to see one another much, so this was a great opportunity to enjoy each other while visiting family in the area. The place is pretty quiet, and comfortable, and offers a lovely view of the ocean. A sweet mother, daughter getaway.

    The apartment is a very nice living space and very comfortable. We enjoyed the views of the ocean from the deck. It has a lovely breakfast nook also with a view of the ocean. We very much enjoyed using this place as a base for the other things we were doing in the area. It was a very convenient location

    We were there to visit family, so used this more like a place to come back to at the end of the day than a home away from home. It was well appointed -- it would be hard to imagine anything you might need that was not provided, though I did not cook, so can't say about the kitchen. From our perspective, the best feature was the location. In a quiet neighborhood, but really convenient (about a 15 min or less walk) to all the restaurants, the beach, etc. We would certainly rent this place again.

    Great location in quiet area with Seaside market and Pipes beach a short 10 minute walk. Great views. The property could use more outdoor space, but for the price it was excellent.

    My friend and I stayed here for a quick girls trip and it’s such a cute place! Clean, well stocked with extras in the bathroom in case you forget something. Kitchen well stocked. Great water pressure in the shower! Close to town. It has a view of the ocean from the living room and patio. We had an issue with the shower door not closing and he responded right away and fixed it right away. I would definitely stay here again in the future!

    This was exactly the place we were hoping for - and more! Very quiet neighborhood setting, very walkable (about 1/2 mile) to market, restaurants, walking trails, etc. Easy access to private entrance. Beautiful balcony views. We kept the windows open our entire visit, A/C was available but unnecessary. Great water pressure in shower. Well-equipped apartment with all you could want, even in the kitchen. Our hosts were very gracious and we felt very much at home here, only regret our stay was not longer.

    We needed to escape the heat and have a some beach time and this was the place to do it. This is a cute and roomy apartment above the owners home. You will not be disappointed this place it all from ac to beach chairs and boogie boards. We did not cook in the apartment but it did look pretty stocked. There are 2 nice size bedrooms well cleaned and bathroom good size as well. The front deck we sat looked out to the ocean with some beverages which had a nice breeze. You also have your own little area to park in front of the house which was a plus since the place is in a quiet neighborhood. The beach is maybe 10 minute drive several parking lots to go to. We loved the area had lots of local places to eat and coffee shops and a grocery store not to far. Lance the owner was easy to work with great communication. We would definitely rent again from him.
