House was great! We had an intimate gathering of some friends before a wedding and we loved the house and location. Youâre just steps away from Cardiff and a short ride from Encinitas. The house had plenty of room to sleep and we utilized the grill and the kitchen. If I needed to stay in Cardiff again, would happily set up here again!
We really enjoyed staying at this home, close to the beach and shops. There was enough room, beds for three families. If I am ever in San Diego I will be looking at this property.
Laundry not working, we were unable to do laundry. The drainage pipes overflows.Owner/property manager wants to come in the property while we were there to measure the bedroom.
The property is newly remodeled and easily accommodated 12 guests. Loved the ability to access the exterior from two of the bedrooms. All toiletries and kitchen supplies were provided which made things very convenient. Communication with the property manager was excellent. 10 out of 10!
Lots of space and beds. Good entertaining area in kitchen/living room. Everything worked well. Signs in house were very helpful (e.g.: WiFi info, how to use master shower). Not much back yard space and 5 freeway just behind fence (car noise) so donât count on outdoor entertaining.
I had high hopes for this property based on the photos. It was a convenient location, but the backyard was right above the highway making it very unpleasant to spend time out back or have the windows open due to noise. The house was not clean. There was molded ground coffee that hadnât been thrown out of the coffee pot, there was hair scattered throughout the house, one of the duvet covers was soiled and all the mattress pads were dirty and had hair on them when we stripped the beds. There is a steep cleaning fee for all the cleaning that is required of the guests (stripping beds, starting a load of laundry, putting towels in the garage, taking out all trash and recycling, a fine if you donât take the garbage bins to the curb if youâre staying there during garbage day). The check out instructions also say not to remove the duvet cover to clean between guests unless visibly soiled. Ours was soiled upon arrival. The bathroom didnât have body wash or soap available. Overall, great size of house, convenient location to shops/restaurants/beach, lots of beds, good size central hang out in living room, but it was far from clean which was very disappointing. We would not stay here again.
This property was exactly what they said it was. Great location for stores and the beach! We had the whole family from 5 to 87 years old and it was great for everyone!
This place had everything we needed, and the location was great. We ran into a little issue with the house and the owners were super fast with communication and getting it fixed.
The property worked fine for us but there are several things that could be improved:
- there should be a sign in master bathroom explaining that it is necessary to pull BOTH of the shower valves out from the wall to turn it on.
- cable box in living room did not work during our stay
- we had issues with the air conditioning not working
- the igniter on the gas burners didnât work
- the clothes washer drains into a plastic tote which has a pump in it. The pump failed so water ran out over the garage floor
- the owner is a teacher which makes it hard for her to reply to texts or calls promptly. She did put us in touch her husband to help with some of our problems.
I was very unhappy with my stay. First of all the shower in the master bedroom did not have a sign on it that said pull the knob out to turn on the shower. I had to text the owner to have it explained. The freezer had a hair in it. The freeway traffic in the front bedroom was very very loud. Do not look under the beds the dust bunnies might attack. The owner needs to post on the wall that the trash cans need to be taken out on Thursday. She would actually find someone that does not read the manual. There was a dead spider on the ceiling in the bathroom. The bathtub in the guest bathroom was peeling.
The front room had cobwebs . It is further from the beach then it says. The Tv remote needed batteries. I would like a partial refund. The hall cabinet did not shut most of the time
Clean, comfortable house with very good amenities and a convenient location. Easy check-in, enough rooms and beds for our group, and very good communications with the owner.
