Ocean Blue House Great for Families
Experience the allure of a charming seaside residence boasting breathtaking ocean vistas and an atmosphere that whispers casual relaxation. Immerse yourself in the quintessential California lifestyle with a medley of splendid amenities including a hot tub, hammock, outdoor fire pit, al fresco shower, and a BBQ setup to grill to your heart`s content. Our sunny backyard lounge is an added delight to bask in the serene environment.
Just minutes away, you can sink your toes into the soft white sands of the beach and ride the thrilling waves with some top-notch surfing spots. Stroll along the convenient Coast walking path leading to excellent shopping outlets, exquisite restaurants, and sought-after specialty grocery stores.
Our residence is cozily nestled inside the captivating town of Cardiff-by-the-sea, delivering easy access to the astounding Cardiff and Moonlight beaches, an array of dining options, shopping havens, and invigorating activities.
The interior is beautifully designed to merge comfort with rustic charm. The spacious open-concept living area encourages a relaxed atmosphere perfectly catered for spending quality time. Feel free to snuggle down in front of the wood-burning fireplace during chilly evenings while remaining cool during summer with the added convenient air conditioning units in each room.
The house is always at your disposal, except for the garage, which is off-limits. With a capacity to park up to two cars, we provide ample space for your vehicles on the driveway.
Our location is ideal for exploring, situated near Seaside Market and various other shops and restaurants. The accessibility to the soothing beach is made easier with the Coast Walking Path located nearby.
Although our property faces the Coast Highway and a quick-running train (under 30 seconds) bounds our area, we assure comfort and tranquillity inside our abode. To keep the estate in pristine condition, our gardener visits every Tuesday, and trash pick-up is scheduled for Fridays.
For families vacationing with little ones, we offer a Pack N Play and high chair for your convenience. Please note, no dogs are allowed on the property. We have many guests who need a pet free property. Thank you for understanding.

We really enjoyed our stay. There was a great walking trail right in front of the house that led to Encinitas and Cardiff. We were able to walk to restaurants, shopping and beaches. We loved having the hot tub to relax in the evening.
Fantastic stay (our 2nd) at this property. Perfect sunset ocean views from front yard, great hot tub, awesome house, walkable to bars/restaurants & Cardiff Seaside Market. We'll ba back!
Great for sleeping, shopping, watching the water. The train didn't bother us. You become accustomed to it quite quickly. The views are wonderful. Could not have asked for anything more.
Our son is going to university near by and we wanted a spot where we could all meet up over spring break. The home is lovely, the views spectacular! Had everything we needed and was a short walk to local restaurants. Gina has great communication skills and made booking effortless. Wonderful vacation home and our family would stay here again.
We loved the house, especially the backyard. Had everything we needed and captivating views. The only drawback was that accessing the beach wasn't as easy as it looked due to the train tracks and highway between the house and the beach. From our experience, you have to walk down several blocks to cross safely. But that would not stop us from going back again! Love Cardiff & Encinitas!!
The home was exactly as advertised, well stocked, comfortable, and perfect for our 4 days in the area. Hot tub was in great condition and everything in the home was well maintained. Felt like home!
What an amazing property! So comfortable, cute and well appointed. Most comfortable beds!! And the view and location cannot be beat. Gina was so helpful and responsive. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Beautiful home with everything you need. Short walk to Cardiff and Encinitas. Kids loved the games and back yard. Would definitely stay again. Homeowner was very responsive and helpful.
We had a lovely time at "bluehouse". The location is spectacular and the property is as well. The home is comfortable and airy and the backyard area is beautiful and spacious. Gina was an awesome host and super responsive. I am looking forward to another visit in the near future and recommend this property.
This is an ideal location! We loved the gorgeous view and easy walk to Encinitas. We have young kids and it was an ideal setup. Great communication along the way as well. Highly recommend!
We really enjoyed the house and location. Pictures are accurate. There were prompt and helpful responses to the few questions we had. We’re so glad we could enjoy our week in Cardiff by being able to stay here.
We loved everything about this sweet house. You cannot beat the views! The location is incredible, everything we needed was within a mile. Our boys loved watching (and riding) the trains! We had the best vacation here & would book agin without question.
The Blue House was a great place to unwind with the family. The view of the ocean was interesting and relaxing. Sitting on the back porch was meditative looking at the beautiful trees and plants and enjoying the quiet. The BBQ and the fire pit came in handy for entertaining.
The house is a classic beach bungalow. Perfectly situated to enjoy, the town, surf and sunsets. We are very grateful to have experienced it. It is a happy home with a great vibe. We would love to do it again.
We had a terrific time staying in the Ocean Blue House on a trip out from Minnesota. The house is well-equipped for kids with games and a great backyard. We particularly appreciated how equipped it was (spices, condiments, extra light bulbs, etc.). Would definitely return!
Wonderful 5 days for our family of four (my husband, myself, 6 year old son and 2 year old daughter). Great sunsets, big yard to run around, convenient location to walk to either Cardiff or DT Encinitas, and the close access to the great walking path were some of our highlights. The kitchen was very well stocked which was a nice bonus. We will certainly visit this lovely home again. Thanks Gina!
This is literally my dream home! I had an unforgettable stay and highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to relax, unwind, ground, and soak in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean. I hope to return in the future! Aloha!

Fantastic!
Great, cozy house with an amazing view of The Pacific! Lovely sunsets and really close to Seaside Market and adjoining shops as well as downtown Encinitas. Road can be busy getting into and out of driveway but no real problems given a little patience. Would love to return one day with the family!
