About this house rental

RNTL-024778-2023

Welcome to our beautiful attached home in the heart of the romantic surf town of Cardiff By The Sea. Our home is a spacious, one bedroom, one bath, newly remodeled bit of paradise. Maximum occupancy (3), vehicle parking (1). It is decorated with a tasteful mix of old Mexico and Aloha spirit.



There are Saltillo tiles through out, a roomy and fully equipped kitchen with granite counter tops and all the amenities. From your ocean view bedroom you can open double French doors and step out onto the tiled patio with adjoining lawn and breathe in the ocean air. You can enjoy your meals and sip wine in the ocean view sun room or on the deck overlooking the lush, colorful garden. Our lower garden includes an expansive lawn and a meditative koi pond. There is also a flat screen TV, stereo system, and overhead remote fans in every room and a gas BBQ on the deck.



Sunsets are incredible all year round and can be enjoyed wherever you are on the property. But better yet — why not walk to the beach and watch the sunset there? It will only take a few minutes to walk the two blocks to the beach where, besides sunsets, you can enjoy sunbathing, surfing, swimming, boogie boarding and scenic beach walks. There you can see dolphins, pelicans, various sea birds and even migrating whales — when in season. We also supply a beach parking pass so you can go to any beaches in San Diego. Our home overlooks some of the best surfing spots in California —Swami’s, Pipes and Cardiff Reef; all which are in walking distance.



The charming Cardiff by the Sea Downtown Village is only three blocks away. There you can visit the many restaurants, an upscale wine bar, Seaside gourmet market, boutiques, Iron Cross Surf Shop, the iconic Sunny Skys Bikinis and VG’S Doughnuts. One mike down the beach you can experience beachfront dining at the many varied restaurants.



Nearby attractions:

10 minutes – famous Del Mar Race Track, the village of Del Mar, the Belly Up Tavern, Legoland, the Flower Fields and strolling the San Elijo Lagoon Trails

20 minutes – Sea World, Torrey Pines Golf Course, Stephen Birch Aquarium, La Jolla, and hiking Torrey Pines State Park

30 minutes – San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park, historic Balboa Park and Museums, USS Midway, Fisherman’s Landing Sport Fishing, Sea Port Village, the Gas Lamp District of downtown San Diego and Lindbergh International Airport

10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
We had a wonderful 3 day stay at this romantic ocean view tropical Spanish style cottage in Cardiff by the Sea. The cottage is very comfortable with a queen sized bed in the main bedroom and a day bed in the sunporch. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils so making meals was very easy. They have a wall heater in the living room/kitchen and a portable heater in the bedroom should it get chilly at night. You can hear the waves crashing on the beach in the distance and an occasional train does go by on the tracks that are about 100yds from the house, but neither were a noise problem. There is a lovely balcony that extends over the lower backyard that has a BBQ and offers wonderful views of the ocean and the sunsets. Se would definitely book this cottage again!

The apartment was just as the pictures show. Lot's of old world charm. Felt like we were in another country. The brick walk way to the apartment is quite a slope but we maneuvered it just fine. A nice large sunroom and a small balcony to enjoy the outdoors and it is surrounded by lush vegetation. Clean, comfortable and everything you need for a vacation by the beach.
