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.

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.

Best family vacation!

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!
