Montgomery "North" - Ocean views with a short walk everywhere with beach gear!

Summary:
This Cardiff Vacation Home has it all — ocean views from the main living area and master bedroom, easy walking to Cardiff Town Center & the beach, and plenty of space to entertain your whole crew! Want to know more about the Cardiff/Encinitas/Leucadia area and all our different homes and bungalows check us out @encinitasbungalows.

The Space:
Discover the mirror twin property to "Montgomery South"..

This home has been newly decorated with upscale furnishings and is immaculately cleaned each time you come to stay.

The top floor of the property features an open concept living-dining-cooking area. Catch a glimpse of the big blue Pacific each time you peer outside. The front of the space boasts a well-furnished outdoor balcony, perfect for morning snacking or happy hour sipping, and endless lounging and sunset watching.

Just inside the glass doors lays a sectional so cozy that you may find yourself dozing off in the middle of movie night, it also has a queen sofa sleeper (available on request for a nightly fee). Steps back, the dining table spaciously seats 6, and the gourmet kitchen is designed to make cooking easy! Finally, just off the kitchen is the east patio complete with a propane weber grill. With luxury appliances, and cabinets stocked full of cooking tools, feeding your group at home will be a painless process! We have everything you need to help you keep all of your peeps’ bellies full.

On the middle floor, you’ll find the first two bedrooms connected by a jack and jill bathroom. Each of these guest bedrooms has room for two people, outfitted with queen-sized Casper mattresses and flatscreen TVs. Down the hall you’ll find the spacious Primary Suite, featuring a walk-in closet, a large bathroom, a TV, a desk workspace, and a king-sized Casper mattress. You’ll be sure to rest easy here as you fall asleep to the sounds of the coast and awake to views of the ocean from your bed.

Below the bedroom level is a mudroom storing a portable crib and a high chair for those with little ones, and a two-car garage packed full of all the beach accessories you could need. There are tons of boogie boards, surfboards, kids' life vests, beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels! Get ready for endless fun in the sun and easy beach day activities.

Our Cardiff Vacation Home also offers the conveniences of Gigabit highspeed Wifi, YouTubeTV, and a keyless entry security system.

Managed by Airbnb_Superhost and Vrbo_Premier Partner Keith Clarke and customer experience team leader Stacey Peterson, every little detail has been taken care of at the Cardiff Vacation Home! Jump on over to our other properties, to read our reviews — you'll see we're all about outfitting our properties to be a vacationer's dream.

Guest Access:
Sleeps up to seven. One king-size bed, two queen beds, and a queen sofa sleeper (available on request for a fee). Guests have the entire home to themselves along with a private fenced in yard. Yale keyless door entry coded uniquely to each guest.

The Neighborhood:
Located just 30 minutes North of busy San Diego and is the south part of Encinitas, this laid back town promises a slower pace and some time to unwind. The beaches are endless and a quick walk gets you to the water. Cardiff by the Sea is nestled in the center of the best beach towns along the 101. Just South of the home is Solana Beach, Del Mar, and La Jolla while going North brings you to Encinitas, Leucadia, Carlsbad, and Oceanside. There's lots of shopping, attractions, and dining close by, or if you're not in the mood, there's plenty of space to get comfy!

Getting Around:
The property has private driveway parking, but if you're looking to just hang around the Cardiff/Encinitas/Leucadia area during your stay, it's easy to get places by foot or better yet, rent an e-bike and cruise up and down the 101.

Other Things to Note:
* 5% discount for stays 7 days or longer
* 12% discount for stays 30 days or longer
* Encinitas occupancy tax (10%) waived for stays 31 days or longer
* $100 Pet fee for additional cleaning is required for all stays that include any kind of dog, see below
* Stays longer than 21 days require a full cleaning approximately every two weeks


PET POLICY

We love dogs, and our policy is really pretty simple. If you are bringing a dog(s) we need them to be crated if left alone. If you don’t have a crate, we have ones you can use. We understand if your furry family members can’t stay off the sofa or bed; we do have special sofa blankets and/or beach towels to protect the furniture. We try our best to accommodate all our guests and can’t have dogs directly on the furniture as it’s unhygienic for others who might be more sensitive. We also incur extra cleaning fees to prepare for our next guests. Cleanliness and sanitation are very important standards to our overall business. For this, we do require an additional cleaning fee. Finally, we expect our guests to pick up any dog waste daily in the yards and rinse down the area where the waste was picked up.


CITY PERMIT DETAILS

City of Encinitas Permit RNTL-008738-2019. We expect our guests to keep noise down to a minimum as this house is located in a residential neighborhood and quiet times are from 10pm to 7am. We have a maximum overnight occupancy of 7 guests. Parking is available in the private driveway around back or in the garage. Trash is picked up on Friday mornings and all trash and recycle goods should be placed in the containers by Thursday night as pickup is usually very early.

Note our cancellation policy for longer term stays is different than what is published on the booking site, if your reservation is longer than 15 days please note our modified policy below.


CLEANING POLICY

The TLDR;
We’ll let you in on a little secret: good, thorough cleaning takes a lot of time—& it takes a village!

We’re slight neat freaks over here (it’s a good thing, we promise).

Our top-notch team takes pride in meticulously preparing the bungalow for you. Here’s an in-depth overview of how we’re spending the hours leading up to your arrival.

First things first—let in that coastal breeze!
By leaving windows and doors open for multiple hours, the fresh air starts flowing in while we get to work cleaning. In addition to our normal routine, we now disinfect all high-traffic surfaces too.

Each and every bed linen piece (even mattress pads, pillow protectors, duvet covers, and blankets!) will always be laundered between uses. Regardless of use, all bath linens (shower curtains and bathmats, too!) are laundered between visits to keep things extra fresh.

Woah there! We hear you.
Folks have shared their sticker shock concerns when seeing our cleaning fee for the bungalow. We understand that our cleaning costs are high—hence why we’re breaking it all down for you here.

Our crews—from the family-team cleaning the living space to our partners tackling laundry—are all compensated with fair wages. We believe good, hard work deserves an honest living!

To get into the nitty gritty, we typically spend ~15 hours readying the space & laundering the linens (all 10 loads of ‘em) as detailed above.

Here’s the the thing: what you see (and pay for) is what you get. We want you to feel right at home each and every time you visit the bungalows, and a spotless space is essential to that experience.

Your cleaning fee fuels our professional crews and allows us to upkeep our high sanitation standards—so thank you for helping us make the bungalows your fav clean & cozy getaway spot!


REFUND POLICY

For stays less than 15 nights, a 100% refund for cancellations with more than 30 days notice given before the check-in date. A 50% refund will be given for cancellations between 30 days and 14 days before the check-in date. If cancelling with less than 14 days notice no refund will be given.

For stays of more than 15 nights and less than 32 nights in length, 60 days notice is required for a 100% refund. A 50% refund will be in effect for cancellations between 60 days and 30 days notice of check in date. If cancelling with less than 30 days notice no refund will be given.

For stays of more than 32 nights, 120 days notice is required for a 100% refund. A 75% refund will be in effect for cancellations between 120 days and 90 days notice of check in date. A 50% refund will be in effect for cancellations between 90 days and 60 days notice of check in date. A 25% refund will be in effect for cancellations between 60 days and 30 days notice of check in date. If cancelling with less than 30 days notice no refund will be given.

However, we understand events happen outside of our control. If you need to cancel inside the "no refund" window, we always refund all the cleaning fees and occupancy tax if it was collected. In addition, we will attempt to re-rent the property and will refund back to you at your nightly prorata rate all the nights that we are able to rent.

Interaction with Guests:
We like to have our customer service leader Stacey Peterson meet all guests upon check-in and give a tour of the property. Managing partner Keith Clarke lives a short drive away and is available via phone or text. If you find that the home seems to be missing something that you’ll need during your stay, please don’t hesitate to ask. We’re happy to accommodate requests. This home is our happy place and we’re sure it’ll soon be yours, too!

We really enjoyed our stay and the property. However, check in was too late and check out was too early; so it ended up being that we paid 6 days but only allowed five days in the rental.

We booked this property for our family with the main purpose of attending an event at Surf Sports Park. The location to the venue was very convenient and we loved being able to walk around the town so easily. The house is very clean and just as described. The property has absolutely everything you could ever need. They go above and beyond giving you recommendations so you can enjoy some of their favorite places. We would highly recommend this property and hope we can go back one day.

Keith and Stacey are the gold standard VRBO hosts!!
The listing does not do this property justice. Not only is the house well equipped, it was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Keith and Stacey communicated with us well in advance of our stay - starting with a a very clear and comprehensive video that both described the house and told us how to access it upon our arrival. They checked in on us to ensure all was going as planned. Our experience was five star and we would highly recommend this property!

A perfect home away from home
We had a lovely time at the Cardiff property. We decided to vacation and work there for about 3 weeks. The house was exactly what I saw online, everything was clean and organized, with thoughtful amenities - everything I’d want in my home or personal vacation home. We hosted family and friends, worked, and vacationed in one house and had everything we needed for every occasion. Keith was easy to correspond with before, after, and during our stay. The location is perfect, so walkable, convenient, and safe. If we had to pick a negative, which there really wasn’t many, I’d say it’s more of an FYI for future guests: there’s quite a few stairs, since it’s townhome you’ll want to be prepared to go up a few flights of stairs. Especially when coming up from the garage and hauling food back from the store or your baby after a long day :) Also, the bedrooms are under the living room and kitchen on the “ground level” so there’s a bit more noise if you have loud walkers/talkers and a sleeping baby downstairs haha All in all, it was great. I miss it already… We’re already planning our next trip for next year, maybe we will try their bungalows properties next!

Great stay in Cardiff!
We have been coming to Cardiff for many years, and love it here. The property, managed by Keith and Stacy, is very well kept. It has everything you need, and nothing you don’t. It is incredibly clean, organized and a very relaxing place to spend a couple weeks (as we did). Walking distance to all Cardiff has to offer. It is worth noting, as well, that the hosts are fantastic. Anything you need they are ready to help with. Even though they were traveling themselves, they were always available. We had a lovely stay, and look forward to returning next year. I’d recommend this property to anyone looking for a great getaway in Cardiff.

Amazing stay!
My husband and I were down in Southern California for a family event and stayed at Cardiff-by-the-Sea for the second part of the trip. Our biggest disappointment was that we didn’t stay in this location and this home for the entire trip. The home was incredible and is in a great location with a view of the ocean from the porch, and just a short walk to a number of restaurants and the grocery store. It was perfect for our group - we were traveling with my sister, her husband, and 7 year old son. The entire home was so clean and organized, and had everything you could think of. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. I would highly recommend staying here!

The point is, that property manager Keith and Stacy have thought of everything. Things are automated, and easy. The house is bright and airy, and an easy walk to restaurants, the market and the beach. Access to bikes, toys and surfboards was very cool.

This is an amazing property and well worth your visit. It is perfectly located to all that Cardiff has to offer. It is spacious, well-appointed, and clean. In fact, with COVID 19 concerns, cleanliness was the top of our lists of concerns. We were happy to note this place is above and beyond clean. If you know the Clarkes and their rentals, you know what a great job they do with setting the place up and making you feel comfortable while you are there. No exception with this property. Everything you need is stocked and labeled to make it easy to find. The furnishings are wonderful. We loved our stay so much, we've already booked a week in July 2021 and plan to book more in 2022. Thank you guys for a wonderful time!

The property was perfectly situated, managed, and stocked. Everything you could want was minutes away (walking), and the place was fully stocked and well organized to cook and spend most of the time at the rental (which we did).

A week in paradise!
Keith and Stacy’s property was an absolute dream! Couldn’t have asked for a better location with proximity to the ocean, local shops and restaurants, but still on a quiet and peaceful street. The house was perfect for us - fully functional with everything you could want in a kitchen to feel like a home away from home. There was nothing better than starting the day listening to the waves on the balcony and then ending it in the same place by watching the sunset. Everything was super clean and well thought out with nice new decor. Keith was helpful and communicative during our stay. This will be my go-to house when I come back to the area - wouldn’t change a thing!
