Casita-by-the-Sea is a new luxe private casita just minutes from the beach, ocean views throughout. Immerse yourself in our surfer community while experiencing beach life in a real California surf town during your stay. Our casita accommodates up to six people with two full bedrooms and a sleeper sofa - perfect for a small family, couples or individuals. Take a deep breath of the fresh, salty air, and exhale slowly. Now you’re ready for life in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. 31 day minimum stay required. As you enter the light-filled casita, you will love the open floor plan, crisp white walls and natural furnishings that exude beach living. Once you discover the fully-furnished upstairs deck with ocean views and a bonus patio downstairs with even more comfy seating, your biggest decision might be, where should I relax first? If a movie is on your list, our expansive Smart TV with streaming services is available for your entertainment. Whether cooking for yourself or for friends, you will love the views from the newly remodeled chef’s kitchen replete with a farmhouse sink and all of the modern amenities you need. While there, listen to the slight rustle of palm trees as they sway in the light ocean breeze and enjoy the spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean from the large windows. Your dining table is situated next to the double doors leading out to the deck for a truly indoor/outdoor living experience. You’ll find that you’ll probably spend most of your stay on the outdoor deck or patio to soak up the rays and luxuriate in the view with either coffee or wine in hand. Need to catch up on work? The casita is perfect as a remote work location with internet access, and multiple places to sit and get focused. For your enjoyment, the following is included with your stay: beach chairs, towels and umbrella, cooler if needed, fully stocked bathroom, assorted coffees and teas, bath and bed linens, barbeque, and more specialty touches throughout. Just a short five-minute drive or twenty-minute walk to the beach, the property also boasts a new outdoor shower - perfect after a day at the beach allowing for easy sand removal before heading indoors. Laundry facilities with detergent are included allowing you to pack lightly and save room for souvenirs! Cardiff town center is just a short drive away.
