Lovely home! Great location, great view, well maintained, well stocked, very clean. Really enjoyed our stay! If stairs are a concern for you, just be aware that there are a lot of stairs in the home.

We appreciate this so much, Nancy! We hope to see you again soon.
We traveled to the west coast for the first time as a family for my daughter’s soccer tournament and really enjoyed our stay at this property. The property was very impressive. Very clean, comfortable, well located and the host instructions for check in and out were seamless. Would definitely return to this property if we return to the San Diego area.

Hi Ernest! We are so sorry to hear you found a smell in the sink - had we heard, we would have been happy to send someone over right away to check on this for you! We are happy to hear you overall enjoyed your stay :)
From the moment we walked in, we knew we had picked the perfect accommodations. A breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean awaits from both the main and upper levels. The place exceeded our expectations and was Uber clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back.

A beautiful spot with fantastic views
The home was beautiful and in a great location. Easy access to the beach, although walkable it's a bit of a hike up the hill after a long day. Interior was clean and well maintained and the rental company was responsive throughout the whole process.
The home was in good condition and the furniture nice. It could use a good deep cleaning - cobwebs on the ceilings etc but otherwise it was decent. The house is big, probably too big for us two but we enjoyed the view a lot and the patios. Would definitely stay again!

Thank you for your feedback! We passed along your cleaning notes and made sure the home is in top condition! Glad to hear you would stay again :)
We fell in love with Cardiff by the sea and this idyllic rental. Wonderful relaxing space. Stunning view. Both the beach and the Seaside Market area are a quick walk or drive away. Highly recommend!

WOW factor with the ocean views, this alone made our stay worth it for our anniversary. The place was super nice, spacious, quiet, and close to shopping and beaches that made our stay even better. Well done Surf Style management. - Griff and Kelly
There were 6 of us for a Family Vacation ranging from toddler to grandparents. View is fantastic and location is great. Close to market and restaurants for great food options. Location is perfect for small drives to amenities.
Only downside is property is in need of some updating, but would still recommend.
