First rate on Cambridge Avenue

This was the fifth time we have rented in Cardiff for various lengths of stay. By far this was the best. We were impressed by the attention paid to detail. We were in need of nothing: everything we needed was in the house. My wife and I enjoy cooking and everything we needed was there. The beds were extremely comfortable and it was extremely quiet. The last point I want to make was that everything worked.in the place we stayed last February the stove would trip a circuit breaker every time it was used and it never worked properly. No problems here- first class all the way !

Summer Vacation

So close to everything we love about Cardiff! Just west of the 5 (sounds of the interstate when outside, but super quiet inside). Three level home with bedrooms on entry level and basement, while the living and kitchen is on the top floor. Upstairs is a wide open concept that leads to a front and back patio. We enjoyed our mornings and evenings on the front patio overlooking a quiet neighborhood. Views of the ocean on the rooftop deck. We didn’t cook full meals but the kitchen seemed well suited to do so. Having air conditioning was helpful in August. Lisa was a great host. Super responsive when we first arrived and acted quickly on a request that didn’t need addressed immediately.

Fabulous

Incredibly the best ever, so clean and full of everything you need plus extras including beach stuff for your family. Easy to walk to the ocean and plenty of restaurants but be ready for a work out should you choose walking back to to best condo ever. Only recommendation is to find a nearby parking space or call for a ride but everyone should know ocean front space is a premium! Lisa and the owners are fabulous!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa De Jong

Hi! My name is Lisa. I'm from Southern California. I love spending time with my family by the beach. We love walking on weekend mornings to get donuts and coffee and getting together with extended family and friends. I love being a host so much I help out other hosts with their properties.

Why they chose this property

Cardiff is my favorite beach town on the southern CA coast. Its both peaceful and fun, with everything you need just a short walk away. There is great energy, great food, great people, great surf, and great paths to walk or bike. We are a short drive to Legoland, Torrey Pines for golf and Belmont Race Track. It is my families happy place. We hope it will be yours too!

What makes this property unique

I value my guests comfort.
We have plenty of high quality linens and comfortable beds and black out curtains for everyone in your group to sleep well.

We have a well stocked kitchen with everything you need to make yourself a home.

We have high quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, hand soap and dish soap stocked for guests along with high quality coffee, plenty of extra paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, laundry detergent, stain remover, dryer sheets, cleaning supplies, beach supplies, games, children's books, comfortable desk chair and printer with paper.

Hospitality is our priority, we aim to please and we want the Cardiff Reef Retreat to feel like a home away from home.
