About this property

Welcome to The Quaint Cardiff Hideaway, a newly constructed home that is hidden off a private gravel road in the heart of paradise, Cardiff-By-The-Sea. This home will undoubtedly be the perfect location to stay for a bit or stay for a while! The Hidden House has homed groups on surf adventures, families staying to visit loved ones or on vacation, artists looking for inspiration, professionals serving the community, & groups of friends looking for quality time away from the hustle of daily life. This home is unlike any other in the area for many reasons, but here are a few of the most popular: Unmatched peace, quiet, and serenity: the only noises you’ll hear are birds chirping, wind chimes ringing, and the occasional car passing on the gravel road Safe & fun for children and pets: distance from main roads provides peace of mind for parents/pet parents while proximity to parks, skate parks, beaches, botanical gardens, and dog parks provide tons of fun without having to get into a car Location!!: Cardiff is a tiny surf community that is nestled in stunning North County San Diego. It serves as a complete escape while also providing access to the coast highway, I-5 freeways, beaches, bike trails, and the Pacific Surfliner (train that takes you south to downtown San Diego or as far north as Orange County, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara). Stay for a while and drive to incredible destinations for the weekend like Joshua Tree, Palm Springs, Ojai, Big Bear, Coronado Island and even cross the border to Mexico fur surf and seafood in Baja Mexico! Walkability: Once you've settled in, there's tons to explore in the surrounding area without ever having to hop in a car- we suggest e-bikes for added fun! Check out our Locals Only Guide for specific recommendations, but a few highlights are nature trails through natural preserves, organic markets, fresh local restaurants, community parks with everything from playgrounds to sand volleyball, basketball, or soccer fields. You will also be able to walk to parks with grills and community tables that are perfect for celebrations & quick, easy get togethers. Convenience: Private address and mail box provide secure mail and package delivery. Safety: Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas is less than a mile away, so you can rest easy while adventuring.

Cute little place close to the water! Behind another house but never had any issues with the neighbors. Few issues with the house popped up but was always resolved quickly due to fast responses by hosts.

Incredible stay! The house was spotless, spacious, and so peaceful you’d never know you were just minutes from everything in Cardiff. I loved how quiet it felt, especially in the mornings, perfect for coffee on the patio and a bit of ocean air. The owners in the main house out front were absolutely wonderful — friendly and clearly take pride in making sure guests feel right at home. I actually became friends with one of them during my stay! Everything was exactly as described. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat — truly one of those places that makes you wish you booked a few extra days!

Place was comfortable for 4 people. There was a very strong pet smell. We needed to clean the floors with wet swiffer multiple times to make the place livable. There is a constant beeping sound outside the master bedroom. Also, a full length mirror would have been great as we were going to work for a month. We did not hear back from the owners when we requested help with the beeping sound and a mirror.
