This a wonderful Hotel; a real gem! I was mesmerized by the special and relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are beautifully decorated and meticulously clean. The beds are extremely comfortable - one of the best beds I have had in a Hotel. The staff is exceptional - accommodating, helpful, professional and so friendly! The breakfast is small but good - a tasty fresh juice, coffee and muffins. There is a sundeck at the top of the Hotel with a fantastic view; a great place to hang out and enjoy the sunset. The location is perfect - it is just some steps away from a nice beach and from good seafood restaurants. The Hotel offers towels, beach-chairs and umbrellas for free - an excellent service so that we could enjoy two days at the beach. I highly recommend staying at the Cardiff by the Sea Lodge!

The house was charming and comfortable. It had everything we needed during our stay, especially the washer and dryer, which were very helpful. It was great to be able to have a BBQ. It's a shame that we could only stay for 2 nights. The location was convenient, and we were able to go to one of our favorite spots, Encinitas downtown. We all had a great stay! Thank you so much!!

    Our third family trip to Encinitas, a charming beach town,...

    Our third family trip to Encinitas, a charming beach town, was a delightful experience. Its quiet and walkable streets made it an ideal destination for a family vacation. We cycled along Neptun Avenue and relaxed on the beach near the Stone Steps. The town boasts a variety of great restaurants and coffee shops. We highly recommend Atelier-Mannana and Leu Leu, but be sure to book in advance! Herb and Sea is another must-try.

    I love everything about Encinitas.

    I love everything about Encinitas. It is one of the spots where you can go and feel like a local even if your not. I have stayed at the 12 Senses Retreat which was super cool with their nature themed rooms and the amazing hostess. And it is just up the road from Swammi's Beach and the Self Relization Center, which is gorgeous. I have stayed at Brisas Pacific Hotel which was super affordable and a few minutes walk to the beach. You can pretty much walk everywhere in Encinitas. I plan to move there myself soon :)

    Charming surf town.

    Charming surf town. We enjoyed walking the beach, watching the local surfers and the sunset from the bluffs. Plenty of shopping and restaurants all within walking distance. Bigger box type stores for groceries, etc within about a 10 minute drive. Traffic was not bad. We visited San Diego Botanical Garden and highly recommend.

    I grew up in north county and Encinitas was a regular stomping ground. Great restaurants and shopping and it offers a train stop that will get you to/from union station in San Diego where you can catch an Uber or bus to the airport while enjoying breathtaking views!

    Unfortunately, we had a very busy wedding weekend and didn't have much time for learning more about the city of Encinitas. We enjoyed the places we visited (Encinitas Cafe for breakfast and the Solterra Winery for the rehearsal dinner). Food and ambiance was great. Would love to go back and enjoy more of the city.

    The rooms are large and you will more likely than not to get two king size beds. That is my experience each time. The live-in managers are accommodating and cordial. The hotel is set far enough away from the train tracks so you barely here the train when it passes. The room's window and door are open when empty so you can be certain that the air is fresh when you walk in. I've stayed at other hotels that don't do this and you can smell left over dinners or smoke or cleaning products.

    Location is awesome, walking distance to encinitas downtown, surfing spots and leucadia farmers market. Front desk guys were amazing (shout out to Todd and Mark, whom besides the sympathy, were always available). Cleaning team as well. The kitchen is pretty full of equipment needed to prepare meals. High pressure shower makes the stay even more confortable.
