Lovely beach cottage with ocean views and just steps away from a safe walking trail that leads into the heart of Cardiff. Close proximity to everything you need for a perfect beach getaway that feels relaxing, without all the crowds. The cottage itself is well cared for and thoughtfully furnished. Unique to the cottage is its beautiful artwork in the form of hand painted tiles, stained glass, and paintings made by the owners. This cottage has character. Not your everyday rental. It’s a gem.

Enjoyed one lovely week with my 9 yo and hubs. Amazing location and killer outdoor space. My son was enamored with the loft bed we dubbed his "nest". Highly recommend the space!

Amazing views!
We had a wonderful stay at this cottage in Cardiff! Lynn, Kit & Tyler were very responsive and awesome hosts. It was the perfect home base to visit our family in Carls Bad. Our 20-something sons loved the proximity to 2 great surf breaks and my husband and I loved the walking/biking/running path to soak up the views and pick up some famous VG donuts on the way home. Excellent experience all around, will definitely be back!
