Completely updated. Excellent location

Easy to check in and to notify the manager of issues with the dryer and the gate. Beautifully decorated and all the kitchen supplies that one could hope for! Great area, easy walk to park, shops and the beach

Beautifully furnished ocean view condo

We had an amazing stay at this ocean view condo! The condo was furnished beautifully and had everything we could possibly have needed and more for our stay! Julio was a wonderful host providing us with clear instructions as well as always being available to help. He even gave us tips on places to and things and do! It was easy to walk to the beach as well as restaurants and markets! We cannot wait to return!

Location is everything!

We stayed at this property for 2 weeks and had a fantastic time. Pros: location (walked to beach, Zumbar coffee and Seaside Market daily). Wonderful view of the park and beach - so relaxing! Safe, quiet neighborhood. Great internet connection for work meetings. Neutral: Sleeps 6... but there is only enough silverware for 1 meal (for 6), and it's a bit mis-matched at that. This is really a bachelor pad. The dryer was broken (known to owner from PREVIOUS visitor) so we needed be around for the repair man to get that fixed since we were staying for 2 weeks -- it would have been nice if that was already fixed before we got there. The garbage disposal and sink drain weren't working, so the plumber came. The fridge filter was beeping constantly and needed to be changed. Both wine openers were broken (weird). After everything was fixed, things were smooth. The pictures online are SUPER glamorous. In real life it is a bit less glamorous, but fine. Summary: Overall a really nice stay, but not sure about the value, given all of the mishaps and how many times we had to run the dishwasher just because of lacking silverware! There was only 2 of us, but we cooked every meal. Julio was really helpful with suggestions for things to do and places to go, and got things fixed quickly overall.

Great stay in Cardiff!

We had a great stay at the penthouse and would definitely come back again! Everything was exactly as pictured - not to mention the great sunset views every evening. The house is convenient to everything you need whether walking or driving. The hosts were easy to get a hold of and even provided us with a long list of recommendations for food and activities. Highly recommend it for anyone considering a stay here.

felt like home from the first moment

The apartment is located in a very nice neighborhood in easy walking distance to the beach. It's very well and stylish equipped. We were sitting on the veranda, having a coffee in the morning. It's clean and Julio was very responsive, gave us tips about things going on in the area. We would have loved to stay longer... but we will be back. Thanks Julio

Fantastic

We’ve always loved Cardiff and this stay sealed it! Great place. Owners were fantastic. Being on the top level allowed for nice ocean breezes. It’s a cooks kitchen great for making meals. The sweet, little park across the street was perfect And it’s a short walk to V&Gs Donuts and the incredible Seaside Market. The star of the trip is always the ocean - location made beach trips easy. We’d definitely love to return to this place.

Cardiff Penthouse

We had the most enjoyable stay at the Penthouse. It was everything we expected and more. The beds were extremely comfortable and we slept well each night. The shower was great as well. The community was pleasant and we enjoyed talking with the residents about the area. The weather wasn't the best, but we couldn't really complain about that either. The stores in the area were super. The walk to the beach was close and we enjoyed the sunsets. We would definitely stay here again. No complaints at all.

Beach Place with Modern Flair

Had a great time at the penthouse at Cardiff-By-The-Sea. Exactly as advertised, in fact, the photos don’t do it justice. Beautiful place with everything you need, tastefully decorated, ideal location, super comfy beds and perfect for our family of four. Plus there are bikes and boogie boards right in the garage. Julio was terrific and we had everything we needed, couldn’t have been easier. Would highly recommend to anyone for a getaway to this charming beach community.
