Impeccable Cape Cod Oceanfront Home Overlooking Swami's Beach.

Impeccable Cape Cod Oceanfront Home Overlooking Swami's Beach.

10/10 Excellent
"Three generations of our family enjoyed a wonderful beach vacation together. We loved the quiet location of the home, the energy of Encinitas, the close access to the beach, the feeling of safety in the area, and the excellent beach frontage that afforded miles of beach walking as well as bluff walking. Our dinners together on the deck watching the sunset were a delight. The rooms were spacious, all with ocean views. It felt like a well-loved home instead of a beach rental. We have already reserved for next year."

"The property was absolutely beautiful, we had a great stay. The only challenge for was the temperature in the guest bedroom. The ceiling fan was not operational so we had to get creative with the box fans that were available. However, that wouldn’t stop us from coming back again. You will love your stay here!"

Private Oasis - Outdoor Living, Pool, Spa

Private Oasis - Outdoor Living, Pool, Spa

10/10 Excellent
"A cozy little cottage in Cardiff - exactly what we were in search of! Property was sparkling clean, well appointed - there was almost nothing we did not have that we needed. A few recommended improvements would make it 100% perfect. More full sized dinner plates - only four left me washing constantly. Lots of small salad plates and bowls - just need more large dinner plates. Exterior lighting was not great - back patio light fixture bulbs were very low wattage and one was burnt out. Landscape lighting was not functional, so patio and pool area were extremely dark. The owner graciously came over with four solar-powered lamps, but those were a bit spotty in their functionality and the yard could use about 4-6 additional. All in all, the location - walkable to everything - cottage itself, its furnishings, pool, and both front and back yards are lovely! I’d stay here again in a heartbeat - hopefully it’s available next time we are in town!"
