The Space:
Discover the mirror twin property to "Montgomery North".
This home has been newly decorated with upscale furnishings and is immaculately cleaned each time you come to stay.
The top floor of the property features an open concept living-dining-cooking area. Catch a glimpse of the big blue Pacific each time you peer outside. The front of the space boasts a well-furnished outdoor balcony, perfect for morning snacking or happy hour sipping, and endless lounging and sunset watching.
Just inside the glass doors lays a sectional so cozy that you may find yourself dozing off in the middle of movie night, it also has a queen sofa sleeper (available on request for a nightly fee). Steps back, the dining table spaciously seats 6, and the gourmet kitchen is designed to make cooking easy! Finally, just off the kitchen is the east patio complete with a propane weber grill. With luxury appliances, and cabinets stocked full of cooking tools, feeding your group at home will be a painless process! We have everything you need to help you keep all of your peeps’ bellies full.
On the middle floor, you’ll find the first two bedrooms connected by a jack and jill bathroom. Each of these guest bedrooms has room for two people, outfitted with queen-sized Casper mattresses and flatscreen TVs. Down the hall you’ll find the spacious Primary Suite, featuring a walk-in closet, a large bathroom, a TV, a desk workspace, and a king-sized Casper mattress. You’ll be sure to rest easy here as you fall asleep to the sounds of the coast and awake to views of the ocean from your bed.
Below the bedroom level is a mudroom storing a portable crib and a high chair for those with little ones, and a two-car garage packed full of all the beach accessories you could need. There are tons of boogie boards, surfboards, kids' life vests, beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels! Get ready for endless fun in the sun and easy beach day activities.
Our Cardiff Vacation Home also offers the conveniences of Gigabit highspeed Wifi, YouTubeTV, and a keyless entry security system.
Managed by Airbnb_Superhost and Vrbo_Premier Partner Keith Clarke and customer experience team leader Stacey Peterson, every little detail has been taken care of at the Cardiff Vacation Home! Jump on over to our other properties, to read our reviews — you'll see we're all about outfitting our properties to be a vacationer's dream.
Guest Access:
Sleeps up to seven. One king-size bed, two queen beds, and a queen sofa sleeper (available on request for a fee). Guests have the entire home to themselves along with a private fenced in yard. Yale keyless door entry coded uniquely to each guest.
The Neighborhood:
Located just 30 minutes North of busy San Diego and is the south part of Encinitas, this laid back town promises a slower pace and some time to unwind. The beaches are endless and a quick walk gets you to the water. Cardiff by the Sea is nestled in the center of the best beach towns along the 101. Just South of the home is Solana Beach, Del Mar, and La Jolla while going North brings you to Encinitas, Leucadia, Carlsbad, and Oceanside. There's lots of shopping, attractions, and dining close by, or if you're not in the mood, there's plenty of space to get comfy!
Getting Around:
The property has private driveway parking, but if you're looking to just hang around the Cardiff/Encinitas/Leucadia area during your stay, it's easy to get places by foot or better yet, rent an e-bike and cruise up and down the 101.

PET POLICY
We love dogs, and our policy is really pretty simple. If you are bringing a dog(s) we need them to be crated if left alone. If you don’t have a crate, we have ones you can use. We understand if your furry family members can’t stay off the sofa or bed; we do have special sofa blankets and/or beach towels to protect the furniture. We try our best to accommodate all our guests and can’t have dogs directly on the furniture as it’s unhygienic for others who might be more sensitive. We also incur extra cleaning fees to prepare for our next guests. Cleanliness and sanitation are very important standards to our overall business. For this, we do require an additional cleaning fee. Finally, we expect our guests to pick up any dog waste daily in the yards and rinse down the area where the waste was picked up.
CITY PERMIT DETAILS
City of Encinitas Permit RNTL-012713-2020. We expect our guests to keep noise down to a minimum as this house is located in a residential neighborhood and quiet times are from 10pm to 7am. We have a maximum overnight occupancy of 7 guests. Parking is available in the private driveway around back or in the garage. Trash is picked up on Friday mornings and all trash and recycle goods should be placed in the containers by Thursday night as pickup is usually very early.
Note our cancellation policy for longer term stays is different than what is published on the booking site, if your reservation is longer than 15 days please note our modified policy below.
CLEANING POLICY
The TLDR;
We’ll let you in on a little secret: good, thorough cleaning takes a lot of time—& it takes a village!
We’re slight neat freaks over here (it’s a good thing, we promise).
Our top-notch team takes pride in meticulously preparing the bungalow for you. Here’s an in-depth overview of how we’re spending the hours leading up to your arrival.
First things first—let in that coastal breeze!
By leaving windows and doors open for multiple hours, the fresh air starts flowing in while we get to work cleaning. In addition to our normal routine, we now disinfect all high-traffic surfaces too.
Each and every bed linen piece (even mattress pads, pillow protectors, duvet covers, and blankets!) will always be laundered between uses. Regardless of use, all bath linens (shower curtains and bathmats, too!) are laundered between visits to keep things extra fresh.
Woah there! We hear you.
Folks have shared their sticker shock concerns when seeing our cleaning fee for the bungalow. We understand that our cleaning costs are high—hence why we’re breaking it all down for you here.
Our crews—from the family-team cleaning the living space to our partners tackling laundry—are all compensated with fair wages. We believe good, hard work deserves an honest living!
To get into the nitty gritty, we typically spend ~15 hours readying the space & laundering the linens (all 10 loads of ‘em) as detailed above.
Here’s the the thing: what you see (and pay for) is what you get. We want you to feel right at home each and every time you visit the bungalows, and a spotless space is essential to that experience.
Your cleaning fee fuels our professional crews and allows us to upkeep our high sanitation standards—so thank you for helping us make the bungalows your fav clean & cozy getaway spot!
REFUND POLICY
For stays less than 15 nights, a 100% refund for cancellations with more than 30 days notice given before the check-in date. A 50% refund will be given for cancellations between 30 days and 14 days before the check-in date. If cancelling with less than 14 days notice no refund will be given.
For stays of more than 15 nights and less than 32 nights in length, 60 days notice is required for a 100% refund. A 50% refund will be in effect for cancellations between 60 days and 30 days notice of check in date. If cancelling with less than 30 days notice no refund will be given.
For stays of more than 32 nights, 120 days notice is required for a 100% refund. A 75% refund will be in effect for cancellations between 120 days and 90 days notice of check in date. A 50% refund will be in effect for cancellations between 90 days and 60 days notice of check in date. A 25% refund will be in effect for cancellations between 60 days and 30 days notice of check in date. If cancelling with less than 30 days notice no refund will be given.
However, we understand events happen outside of our control. If you need to cancel inside the "no refund" window, we always refund all the cleaning fees and occupancy tax if it was collected. In addition, we will attempt to re-rent the property and will refund back to you at your nightly prorata rate all the nights that we are able to rent.
Interaction with Guests:
We like to have our customer service leader Stacey Peterson meet all guests upon check-in and give a tour of the property. Managing partner Keith Clarke lives a short drive away and is available via phone or text. If you find that the home seems to be missing something that you’ll need during your stay, please don’t hesitate to ask. We’re happy to accommodate requests. This home is our happy place and we’re sure it’ll soon be yours, too!
