We had a wonderful stay at Montgomery South, and I cannot think of a better spot to spend a week escaping the cold and dreary days we left in Indiana, for Cardiff-by-the-sea! Stacey and Keith are expert hosts, who have not only equipped their amazing bungalow with everyhting you'll need in a super comfortable, clean and stylish place but also made themselves totally available in case we had questions or needs along the way. Parking in the garage was a huge plus factor. The town is adorable, and a quick walk down the hill puts you on the Coastline, where you can run or walk along the rail trail, as we did each day, or sit on the beach and watch surfers do their thing. The gourmet market nearby has amazing food options, and the house is walking distance to several great local restaurants. Cardiff is in a corner of Encinitas that is sandwiched by great beach towns both to the North and South, and is totally accessible to the freeway. It's a quick 25 min drive to the aiport and San Diego proper. It's literally the perfect location for visiting the area. Hiking, biking, paragliding, museums, shopping, great food, and views abound. We did it all inside of a week, and found the house a most relaxing spot to come back to each day and chill, curling up and watching movies. I loved the kitchen, and the arrangement of the rooms was perfect for our family - (one boy teenager and one tween girl shared the J&J bath) You cannot go wrong with this house, or with these hosts. :)
