Welcome to The Quaint Cardiff Hideaway, a newly constructed home that is hidden off a private gravel road in the heart of paradise, Cardiff-By-The-Sea. This home will undoubtedly be the perfect location to stay for a bit or stay for a while! The Hidden House has homed groups on surf adventures, families staying to visit loved ones or on vacation, artists looking for inspiration, professionals serving the community, & groups of friends looking for quality time away from the hustle of daily life. This home is unlike any other in the area for many reasons, but here are a few of the most popular: Unmatched peace, quiet, and serenity: the only noises you’ll hear are birds chirping, wind chimes ringing, and the occasional car passing on the gravel road Safe & fun for children and pets: distance from main roads provides peace of mind for parents/pet parents while proximity to parks, skate parks, beaches, botanical gardens, and dog parks provide tons of fun without having to get into a car Location!!: Cardiff is a tiny surf community that is nestled in stunning North County San Diego. It serves as a complete escape while also providing access to the coast highway, I-5 freeways, beaches, bike trails, and the Pacific Surfliner (train that takes you south to downtown San Diego or as far north as Orange County, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara).
