The Endless Summer, Cardiff Beach House - Ocean views & minutes from the beach!

This vacation paradise is your “Endless Summer” and was fully renovated in November 2022.

We have recently retrofitted the home with all new furniture, full air conditioning, electrical lighting, new blinds, selective flooring replacement and has been freshly repainted inside and out. Come surround yourself with rare collector surf themed artwork and modern art pieces.
A fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar is located on the main level along with a comfortable family room and romantic dining area with grand bay-windows that bathe the main level in natural light filtered through a forest of palms.

Also on the main level is an elevated glass railed balcony which includes a natural gas BBQ and that allures peaceful moments under starry night skies. Enjoy your meal dining on our spacious front patio that boasts a new “fire table” with comfortable new swivel patio chairs.

A spacious master suite loft shares the grand bay windows that feature partial blue water ocean views to enjoy magical sunsets. For your comfort there is a king size bed, swivel chair, storage bench, fireplace, cozy desk with blue tooth speaker and working keyboard tray. Enjoy a relaxing bath in the oval soaking tub, or in the spacious tile shower, his and her vanities, walk-in closet, and a private sundeck.

Two guest bedrooms are tucked downstairs with one new queen bed and dresser, and the second bedroom sporting two new twin beds. Both bedrooms have ample closet space, a full bath to share, laundry area and ironing board.
All three bedrooms come with brand new comfortable mattresses, comforters, and assorted pillows to help insure a restful night.

All three bedrooms have brand new, large screen 50” Smart 4k TVs with Hulu Streaming services (other services available through your sign in accounts).

The home is gated on both ends and equipped via Ring Camera security systems

Wake up to ocean breezes and fresh-brewed coffee at home. Or walk to nearby favorites: VG's Donuts, Bump Coffee, Starbucks, or Pipes Cafe' to start your day. You are just a short walk to the beach to catch waves or watch the pros at legendary surf spots including Cardiff Reef, Suckouts, Turtles, Pipes, Swami’s and more!

The home is gated on both ends and equipped via Ring camera security systems.

Prepare sumptuous home cooked meals with locally sourced gourmet foods from the popular Cardiff Seaside Market. Sample cuisine at one of many beach-front and local restaurants. Browse eclectic and upscale shops and eateries in the Cardiff Town Center and Cardiff Village, just around the block.

Pack a lunch and spend the day at the beach which is just a short 10-minute walk away. Bathe, swim and surf in the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean. Catch some sun on a towel on the sand, read a book relaxing in a beach chair or nap in the shade shack. Your beach home comes equipped with plenty of beach toys and equipment including beach towels, three beach cruiser bikes, a surf-rider soft surfboard, boogie boards, shade shack, skim board, beach table, pop up tent, umbrella, ice chests, beach chairs and a wagon to get you and your beach gear to the beach and back!

Hike among the natural beauty, wildlife, and native plants at the San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve, right down the street. Picnic, BBQ, play tennis or shoot hoops at Glen Park just a few steps from your front door, or kick-back on a grassy hillside while the little one's romp in the playground under Torrey Pines and palms.

Savor time alone or together with friends and loved ones on miles of sandy beaches for long walks, invigorating runs, bike rides and romantic strolls in the fresh air and cool ocean breezes. Finish off a day in the sun under a thrilling and refreshing outdoor shower among the palms of your gated retreat.

Jump in the car or take a scenic train ride adventure from nearby Solana Beach or Encinitas train stations to popular San Diego attractions. Sojourn to spectacular Torrey Pines State Beach. Hike the cliffs and bluffs at famous Black's Beach or take in a round of golf at one of several world-class courses. Sample the stylish shops and restaurants in Del Mar just 10 minutes from Cardiff, or drive a few more minutes to luxurious La Jolla or Rancho Santa Fe. Spend a family day at eco-friendly Sea World, the world-famous San Diego Zoo or creative Lego Land; just a sampling of endless San Diego attractions.

Cap off your day relaxing with a glass of fine wine overlooking scenic coastal bluffs, the majestic deep blue ocean and breathtaking Cardiff sunsets. Entertain guests on the balcony and patio under clear starry night skies beside a fire as cool Pacific breezes and pounding surf rhythms satisfy your senses. Snuggle-up beside cozy fireplaces in the family room and master suite as your beautiful Cardiff day comes to a close. This is your “Endless Summer”.

There were 7 of us including my 11 mos old granddaughter. Fantastic for us and everything for the little one. Wonderful area and beautiful property! Kudos to the fellas trimming the palms out front for not using the blower and sweeper instead while my granddaughter was napping! Would love to stay there again.

Cardiff Dreaming!
This house was perfect! It lead to us falling in Love with Cardiff! The location is everything! You can walk to the beach, to hiking trails, and all of the restaurants and shops as well. The house is beautiful and has the best beach vibe. The AC is so nice to have these days. It was well stocked and Trevor (the host) was extremely communicative and very accommodating when needs were presented last minute. Super comfy bed too! We look forward to coming back!

Great Location
My mother, kids and I had a wonderful stay. The condo is bright, clean and in a great location. Walking distance to restaurants, shops, grocery store and a beautiful park. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were extremely comfortable. With the condo being 3 stories, my 75 year old mother had a little bit of a hard time with the stairs as her bedroom was on the bottom floor. However, the main living area is on the main floor, so it wasn't much of a problem for her, only having to use them in the morning and night. The stairs don't take away from the greatness of the condo and we'd definitely stay there again.

Everything you could ask for
This was my family’s second year booking this property. The home is walking distance to: the beach, coffee shops, bars and the Cardiff market. There is plenty of room on the property, for our family to congregate and spend time together in common areas. The home was thoughtfully stocked with cooking supplies, bedding and gear to take down to the beach. The property manager is extremely accommodating and made check in a breeze. Everyone had a great time staying and we are glad to have booked at this Cardiff beach home.

Perfect.
We went to the San Diego area to watch golf at Torrey Pines and really just to be outside in the sunshine! This property in this location was 100% ideal. The house is spotless, recently renovated, and just wonderful. The pictures don't even do it justice. We stayed with another couple so the bedroom split-up was great - there's an upstairs master suite and the lower level has two more bedrooms/bathroom. It's a quick walk down to see the sunset or enjoy the beach. We enjoyed sitting on the front patio with the firepit a couple of nights. We didn't get a chance to use them but there are 3 bikes in the garage plus beach gear. Trevor was a fantastic host, clear with instructions, and very quick with communications. I can't say enough good things about this property and I would book again tomorrow if I could. One of my absolute favorite stays!! Looking forward to when we can return!

Great place to stay! Check in was so easy, great communication, very nice and clean, and lots of amenities. The walk to the beach was a bit longer than the advertised 7 minutes, but we had 3 kids and pulled a the wagon the whole way, which I’m sure slowed us significantly. (Probably took us more like 15 minutes.) enjoyed the fire pit and porch lights in the evening, too. Would definitely stay here again, it was wonderful!

Great house, perfect location
This was an ideal place for my family. The master suite loft was very comfortable with a partial ocean view through the large windows in the living room below. The other two bedrooms, full bathroom, and washer/dryer are at the basement level. It was great to have some beach chairs, toys, etc. in the garage for guest use. The best part, though, is the location! Walkable to the beach and cute beach town of Cardiff - markets, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. Highly recommend.
