Very nice house, busy road

The house was absolutely beautiful and clean, and had a wonderful ocean view. You can also walk to the shops and restaurants in Cardiff! Only drawback is that it is on a very busy road and it’s hard to get in and out of the driveway as it’s narrow and the road is busy.

Great place for 2 couples

We enjoyed our stay. Comfortable, clean and modern, Cardiff-by-the -Sea is a great place for 2 couples. Although the house is on a busier street, it was a short and easy walk down to the ocean and to the path along the ocean. We walked to Solana Beach for coffee and breakfast daily. We also spent time reading and relaxing on the deck after our walks and in the evenings before dinner. All in all, a great experience.

A wedding trip

Our family stayed at the property for my nephew's wedding. We loved the house and the deck. Everything was nice and clean and very well furnished and everything you need in the kitchen. We loved opening the living room wall and enjoying the beautiful deck and weather. The house slept 6 adults very comfortably and was well supplied for an infant. We would definitely stay here again. The location was very central and lots of places within walking distance.

As Is in the Pictures

Our stay was fabulous! We parked and walked and rode the bikes to and from the beach; suitable for our active lifestyles! The house was so comfortable and clean; even starting there was more than enough for us! Things to keep in mind with this house: 1) Returning from the beach is an uphill walk. 2) for those sensitive to white noise, the house is by a busy street. ENJOY!

The house was super cute, Boho vibes. We love the large patio and open windows and doors. We were not happy with the broken washer/dryer/dishwasher. Made it difficult on us not being able to wash our clothes with a messy five year old. It is on a very noisy busy street. I love staying in Cardiff, but would not want to stay Off of Birmingham Again.

Cardiff beauty

Loved this cottage...high end designers did a gorgeous renovation. High end kitchen, bathrooms, appliances, well stocked, cozy beds. Killer ocean view. On a busy street but well insulated house so noise wasn't much of an issue for us. Hey its southern california so peace and quiet isn't why we visit! Also it's next to the beautiful walking district of Cardiff. 7 minute walk to town. Hit Waverly and the gourmet Sea Side market. Our family is nearby...why we chose Cardiff. Stayed a month to escape Seattle winter and booked again. When I win super lotto I will move here😄

Almost great

This house is almost perfect, yet a few things are holding it back from getting there. Yes, the busy street and pitched driveway aren’t great, but it’s small things that could help elevate the house. The shower heads are cheap and water pressure is sad. The guest toilet makes a very loud weird sound every time it’s flushed.
