Top Cardiff State Beach Hotel Reviews

Cardiff by the Sea Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Location is the best in Cardiff/Encinitas! Walking distance to the beach, shops, groceries, coffee, etc. Local muffins, juice & yogurt brought to your room for breakfast. Polite & friendly staff, and the rooftop deck is a great place to start & end the day."

The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"Room was spacious, clean with very comfortable beds. Kitchenette made meals easy. The Breakfast room gets is a little over-crowded, but the coffee was pretty good. The spa was not working while I was there. Fitness center was adequate for a good cardio/weight workout. Hotel location is great for visiting the beach. Happy that we chose this hotel for our stay."

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Del Mar/Solana Beach

8/10 Good

"Excellent location! Very comfortable surroundings! I would get all new firmer pillows is my only comment for improvement and up the volume level on the sound remote control in each room...way too low...inaudible...nice newer larger screens is nice !"

Impeccable Cape Cod Oceanfront Home Overlooking Swami's Beach.

10/10 Excellent

"We were in awe of this house and location! The parking lot was great for our two large SUVs. The walk down to the beach was the right kind of exercise pre-beach day. The stairs are not accessibility friendly … keep in mind. The host was great! Greeting us at the house for a quick run down of the home. We appreciated all communication and felt comfortable asking questions. A quick note that if all doors are left open along the deck, dogs have quite a large space to access, including being close to the 101 and main walkway for beach-goers. We used a few gates and bungee chord (thanks to host) to make a gate for my frenchie to keep him away from all the hubbub. House is stocked will all of the boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, floaties. All the things you could possibly need. Loved the shampoo and conditioner and brand new bar soap in each bathroom. My only thoughts are that the kitchen felt disorganized. It wasn’t automatically clear where to find things and the kitchen has an insane amount of storage. I also think the twin bedroom suit should be turned into the second master, with its own wing of the house and bathroom. The younger kids on the trip were spoiled with having a full bathroom while some of the adults had to walk across the hall. We would have loved a true double master. Overall, we would love to come back!"

Spacious Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second year staying at this house and we absolutely love it!! The owner Mimi is awesome and communicates promptly! This house had plenty of space for our 2 families, a dream space for our kids, the kitchen has everything you need and also has everything you need for the beach!"
