About this property

Walk to the Beach/Rooftop Deck with Views/7 beds- 2 Kings/ A/C

Cardiff Reef Retreat - We pay the all taxes. Ocean View from Rooftop Deck, Walk to the Beach, perfect for families, 7 beds including 2 king beds. Unwind at this comfortable home-away from-home. Splash, surf, or relax all day at the beach or explore the charming Cardiff-by-the-Sea town, all within an easy 15 minute walk. Indulge in the comfort and tranquility of this contemporary home. The space features an open-concept layout, bright natural sunlight, and tasteful furnishings and décor. This retreat house makes for the perfect home base. It is a private twin home with 3 stories, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, spacious open-concept kitchen, large den, built-in office, dining and living room, 2 car garage and private driveway, and 4 decks including a rooftop deck with ocean view! Awake refreshed and ready for a day exploring the many beautiful sights of San Diego. Enjoy one of the nearby gorgeous beaches or head to a local farmer’s market, Del Mar Racetrack, Torrey Pines Golf Course and Legoland are all just a short drive. Visit downtown, Balboa Park, Sea World or the San Diego Zoo some of the many sights America’s Finest City has to offer, all within a short 25 minute drive. Wrap up the day out on the rooftop deck, enjoying a glass of wine with your loved ones, while admiring the ocean view and stunning sunsets. Cardiff Reef Retreat is tucked away on a quiet street in a residential neighborhood, west of Highway 5 (you can see and hear the freeway from outside the back of the house, not inside). Although shops and restaurants are only a ten minute walk away, and the beach is a 15 minute walk, it is a peaceful neighborhood. This tranquil getaway has everything you will need to enjoy your stay and is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and enjoy.
*The house has lots of stairs and high decks and the walk to the beach is hilly and there are no sidewalks for part of the walk.

About the host

Host profile image
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.
