Family-friendly vacation rentals in Cardiff, Encinitas

This was the second time that my family stayed at this AirBnB, and we absolutely love the condo's proximity to the beach. The condo itself is clean with all the basic essentials that you need... boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels, and cooking supplies. Both of the times that we've stayed here the condo has been very quiet; we've never heard noise from neighbors. The condo community has several pools, hot tubs, and a tennis court plus the spectacular clubhouse with panoramic ocean views. There are lots of little coffee shops and places to walk to near the condo community and it's very family friendly. The mattresses and pillows are dated, but aside from that this condo is truly a gem.

"Just Beachy" is a fantastic, absolutely clean accommodation with an exceptional location right on the beach. Everything you need is there...and more. Contact with Lorraine was always "just in time" and provided all the necessary information, and the digital guide also contains everything you need about the entire complex. "Just Beachy" is highly recommended without exception! Thank you, Lorraine, and best regards, Annika & Noël

Great place! Modern simple, deep tub, steam shower, comfy beds and pillows, peaceful environment. Wall-to-wall window doors look out into palm trees, chirping birds, lots of natural light. Note-there’s 2 entrances to underground parking of this. Parking entrance is LEFT side of building down the hill. Great to have dedicated indoor parking! Lovely stay

This Airbnb was just like we pictured. Host was kind and very responsive by giving clear and easy instructions to access the place. Felt right at home and had no problems whatsoever. Airbnb was nearby many places one would come to San Diego for. Would definitely return in the near future!

The VIEWS!!! Absolutely breathtaking. We could’ve spent the entire trip just soaking in that ocean view—it was seriously next-level. From sunrise to sunset, it was pure magic. We absolutely loved Kate’s place and Kate herself! She was the best host we’ve ever had. The property was beautiful, peaceful, and had such a fun, quirky charm that made it feel like a hidden gem. The bed was insanely comfortable, the robes were perfectly cozy, and the coffee? Delicious. The art supplies and hot tub facing the ocean were truly to die for—I didn’t even want to leave to explore San Diego because I was so content right there. We slept with the back door open to hear the waves crash all night long and let the ocean breeze in. The neighborhood felt super safe and had such a great vibe. We already know we’ll be back to see Kate every year. No doubt about it.

Great stay no complaints this place is right on the beach just a tiny walk it is set up perfectly. Thank you Rachel Also they have a caretaker that will come out to you almost immediately and he’s a really nice guy.

Had a great time, beautiful setting and so serene! Love the backyard setup and high ceilings. Great hosts too, 5 stars!

This is such a lovely Airbnb - one of my favorites! So peaceful, the space is beautiful and feels right at home, and has everything you need. Perfect space in the bedroom for our one year olds pack and play. Lots of storage around the house for anything you need to put away. The jacuzzi was an awesome treat at the end of the day. The space is clean and so cozy. The host was helpful and responsive to our questions. Close distance to San Diego safari park which we really enjoyed! Overall a great place that we’d love to return to.

Brooke was incredibly helpful, responsive, and kind. AirBnB sent us the incorrect info to check in, but Brooke text us back right away with the correct gate & door codes. Everything was so clean and tidy (which is definitely saying something being so close to the beach!). The view absolutely can't be beat, and the home is so cozy and beautiful. We had the best time and certainly hope to be lucky enough to return some day! Thank you, Brooke!!

We had a lovely stay at the cottage! It was a stunning location, surrounded by nature. The cottage was so homey, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Would stay here again!

So eloquently and thoughtfully appointed in terms of design. So quiet and peaceful, and exceptionally clean. All of your potential needs are thought of.

Amazing place to stay. Very safe and nice neighborhood to walk around. Perfect for dogs, fully enclosed and safe to leave outside. We could walk to the beach with the dogs from the air bnb. 5-10 min drive from everything in Oceanside. We will definitely return!

The grounds were immaculate. Very roomy guest home. Well stocked with entertainment and kitchen/bath essentials. Would stay again.

I booked Jenna’s beautiful home for my wedding weekend, and it was truly perfect. My bridesmaids and I arrived after the rehearsal dinner, spent the next morning getting ready there, and my husband and I stayed in the Airbnb on our wedding night. Everything exceeded our expectations. The home was warm, spotless, and absolutely stunning. Even my photographer and videographer couldn’t stop raving about how gorgeous it was for our getting ready photos. This home is truly a must-stay! Jenna was incredibly responsive and such a wonderful host. I can’t say enough good things!

You can’t beat the un obstructive view of the ocean! Beautiful, clean and spacious condo. The little dog park out back was a nice touch. Parking was super easy and helpful! Within walking distance to many places. One of the best places we’ve stayed at!

We were in town for a wedding. The unit was centrally located, within walking distance of everything. We got in a little earlier than we originally thought and John had the unit ready. We also requested an extended check out by a couple hours, which was agreed to, to accommodate our needs for the wedding. Very flexible and communicative.

Fantastic stay! Cynthia was very responsive and the location was excellent. We’d gladly stay again!!

We are so grateful to have been able to stay at Gwynn's place, it is so peaceful and lovely. Like a secret garden getaway. We loved all the small touches, and beauty of the space. Gwynn made us feel very welcome and comfortable! The pool is amazing and the outdoor spaces are delightful. Can't wait to stay here again.

The location was great, close to many restaurants and shops, great ocean breeze, great ocean view from the room, beautiful grounds, and 5 minutes from my sons house on Camp Pendleton!

The apartment is, well appointed, spacious & complete with everything you could want. The gardens are beyond beautiful, with lots of interesting trees and shrubbery and even a walking trail around the whole property. The pool is lovely and child safe. We felt very safe, there was an entry code for the front gate and another for our unit. The whole house is located in a beautiful, upscale area.

I loved the location, we could walk to coffee in the morning. A few great food options are close. The kitchen was fully equipped for anyone wanting to cook, we didn't because the food choices were too good in the area.

Nicolas was a great host and has a gorgeous property where my family and I felt right at home! Not once did we feel uncomfortable, everything matched the description and then some! The one question I had he responded within minutes and was very clear and consider. Would definitely book again!

We had a lovely time celebrating graduation and Father’s Day at Teresa‘s AirBnb! It was very spacious, had a full kitchen, and all the amenities we needed for the perfect visit. The location is perfect, with plenty of places to dine & shop! And Teresa was very quick in responding to messages! We can’t thank her enough for being the perfect host!!

We had a wonderful stay! The place feels spacious, spotless, and very well kept. There was plenty of room for our family of six adults to each find a cozy corner—whether reading in the hammock, daydreaming by the lake, or chatting in one of the many comfortable seating areas. The fresh-cut flowers were such a thoughtful touch. Kathleen was very welcoming, and encouraged us to make full use of all the amenities—which we absolutely did! We enjoyed the table tennis, tennis/pickleball court, pool, and jacuzzi. It was the perfect mix of activity and relaxation. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our time here, and we’re already planning to return next year!
