Voted best Beach in Southern California! https://www.thetravel.com/best-southern-california-beaches-ranked-by-surf/
Do you want to relax on the patio and watch the sunsets over the ocean? Or lounge in the spa gazing at the stars and diamond lit coastline?
Our architectural designed modern home is in Cardiff-by-the-Sea which is a classic Southern California beach town that boasts a moderate climate, breathtaking views, many miles of Pacific coastline, a 900-acre ecological reserve, world-class surfing with lovely multi-million dollar home owners who take pride in our community.
Locals and tourists alike enjoy this charming, beautiful, friendly beach town with quaint shops, delicious cuisine, an arts community, yoga studios, ocean sports, parks, a walkable downtown area complete with a linear organic community park and plenty of biking opportunities. Cardiff-by-the-Sea thrives year-round and it’s not unusual to find people sunbathing on the beach in January. Our ocean front home is in a quiet area north of San Diego and south of Los Angeles. Features stunning entrance with ocean views from every room. Modern, comfortable with plenty of light. Walk in shower, state of the art appliances, dumb waiter, outdoor spa under the stars, media room, office, hardwood floors and an in-door garden. Out door balconies are under roof. Nearby are hiking, biking, sailing, cultural centers, bird watching, water sports and fabulous restaurants. Within walking distance of the beach for surfing, swimming, fishing and relaxing on the sand. We don't smoke and ask that you don't smoke in our home!
The master suite has a California King bed, full bath, bidet, whirlpool tub and walk in shower. There is a Queen bed in guest room with bathroom and views of the water! Further sleeping for kids could be either a blow up mattress or recliner chairs in the media room with plenty of space.
We have a car that can be swapped as well as surf boards, bikes and sand toys!!! Separate apartment with entirely separate entrance is in the back of the house with quiet tenant!! Also, there are no cameras in the home but one is at outside the front door for security. Let me know if I forgot anything or if you have any questions! Life is meant to be lived - lets share it!

“Just back from an amazing vacation to Encinitas. The home was beautiful, with great facilities and lovely views. Close to the beach and only 30 minutes drive from the city centre. Overall, an excellent visit. Communication with Cheryl was excellent. Highly recommended. ”
“Wonderful stay—even nicer and better located than I had hoped. Highly recommended, especially if you're a surfer.”
“Wonderful home with incredible views of the ocean. There is so much to offer within steps of the home. Easy walk to restaurants, shops, the beach and the Rail Trail. Cheryl was very responsive and helpful through the entire process. We had one of the best vacations we have ever had. Thank you for everything. ❤️”
“Cheryl and Jack are fabulous hosts. Their home is unique and the ocean view is world class. This was not my first visit and hopefully not my last!”
“This place was just gorgeous. It was pie in the sky...I tell ya! The views were fantastic. Everything was super comfortable. It was close to everything. We got around quickly instead of long drives here and there. We visited family while staying in San Diego and we made such good memories here... at Cheryl's and Jack's place. Cheryl even greeted us when we got there and gave us a quick tour. We can not wait to go back! Tami and Ray”
“The location of the house couldn't be better (a short walk from beautiful Swami beach, easy access to both Encinitas and Cardiff), the view from the porch couldn't be prettier, and the hosts couldn't be more nice or communicative. A winning combination. ”
“This house is amazing! The views are breathtaking! Cheryl and Jack are wonderful hosts. We loved every minute of our stay. ”
“This is a wonderful house to visit. We loved seeing the ocean every morning when we woke up. The location is just perfect for the view, the surroundings, and for convenience. Jack and Cheryl were very welcoming and helpful. We can thoroughly recommend this property. Thank you Cheryl and Jack. ”
“It was our second trip to Cheryl and Jack place. It is always stunning, every sunset with the ocean view is a gift. Thank you, you are welcome to come back to Italy!”
“Such an amazing location, house and view. We feel for fortunate to have been able to stay at this beautiful home. Highly recommended.”
“Cheryl and Jack are top notch hosts who go out of their way to make your stay memorable. Their home is amazing, everything from the entry way to the ocean view is breath taking. The home is very comfortable and just feels like you are at home. There is so much to do in the area that we were never bored and really wished we had more days to enjoy all it had to offer. Watching the sun set from the spa on the deck was my favorite thing. Also of note the car swap worked perfectly. I highly recommend a swap with Cheryl and Jack.”
“Just spent a fantastic week at Jack and Cheryl's home in San Diego. Their home is in a great location and made access to all we wanted to do convenient. We spent the week visiting the beach on Sunday (5 min walk from the home), then followed that with trips to the zoo, up the coast to Newport Beach (Beautiful drive on the coast) and Los Angeles (Hollywood Blvd, Beverly Hills,Rodeo Drive), then Sea World, and the Safari Adventure Park. The home and the amazing views exceeded all our expectations - waking every morning to the beautiful pacific ocean would have been vacation enough. We would love to go again as there were many more things to do, and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great vacation in Southern California. ”
“We had a very relaxing time staying in Jack and Cheryl's lovely comfortable home. WOW the beautiful sunsets, waking every morning to ocean views, location was great. Handy to shops, train etc and great walking pathways. Lots of small townships close by. We met Jack and Cheryl on skype and then at the airport. Found them very friendly and easy going. We would highly recommend their home for a holiday swap.”
“Cheryl and Jack were a delightful couple to deal with and their house was exactly as they had described it. We had a lovely time both in their house and in the area. It was further out of San Diego than we had realised but transport was good. Very similar to our own house so felt very comfortable and so pleased we had the opportunity.”
“Cardiff by the Sea is a delightful area. Cheryl and Jack's home is ideally situated, close to the highway for easy access to some of the most beautiful areas of California. This was our first home swap, and we were extremely fortunate that our experience was positive. Cheryl and Jack could not have been more helpful, and we enjoyed their home very much. Lovely views, and within walking distance to the beach, and town which we did most days. Their home is well equipped and comfortable, and I would highly recommend a visit to Cardiff by the Sea!”
“Cheryl and Jack were my first LHS guests and they were amazing! It's great to have people staying who treat your home like it's their own and leave it better than they found it. Thanks for being so great! I wish we could have met. Always welcome here. Cheers!”
“Great people who left my place super clean, would gladly host them again”
“We loved hosting Cheryl and Jack and would welcome them any time again!”
“Cheryl and Jack are very pleasant and easy persons. We have been delighted to have them in our home and can only recommend them for other home swappers… it was a pity just to have met with them a few minutes…”
Active couple with no children but love an adventure biking and explore new cultures, food and wine! We've been swapping homes for over seven years and have really enjoyed the people that we've met around the world! We lived in Europe for over six years and now back in the US again.
We are happily retired and Jack worked in Public Works and Cheryl in Aerospace. Now that we have freedom to travel we are anxious to explore more of the world!
