Yes, it really does look like this!

I know it’s hard to believe, but these kind of sunsets don’t only come in postcards!

Hard to believe!

New 360 Virtual Tour and Slideshow!

We’ve got some great news! Below is the link to our brand new 360 Virtual Tour of our Rooftop, Lobby, and two of our newest rooms — the Paradise room and the Southwest room. There is also a Slideshow link that shows some more close-ups of various amenities and areas of our lodge (located on the pink bar underneath the 360 Tour — after you open the Virtual Tour link).  We really hope you enjoy these new additions, especially for those of you wanting a better idea of our wedding facilities!

Engagement shoot!

A few weeks ago our spectacular Sweetheart room was used as home base for a very unique engagement shoot!

Here is the link to Amy’s (the makeup artist) blog:

It made me wonder what other uses our unique rooms might serve? Maybe architectural catalogue pictures? Or themed birthday parties? Specifically the Paradise room, which has a very Tommy Bahama/Tiki Room feel to it; or the Southwest room, with its recessed fireplace and desert theme.

Summer is never over in San Diego!

It might be back to school time, but there is still a lot going on under the sun! I’ve made out a calendar of all the great events going on in Cardiff and the surrounding areas for the next month. Maybe check out a wine tasting or an art exhibit during the day, then head over to our inn for a spectacular sunset on the roof!

Things to do in San Diego — September

Rooftop pictures

Until we get the new pictures on our website, I thought I would post the link to the information and pictures on our rooftop so that you would be able to at least get a better idea of what it looks like.

Sunsets!

I wanted to start off today by saying how incredible the sunsets have been lately. Last week was a bit muggy and cloudy, but the past few evenings have been truly spectacular. Looks like summer is going to be going out with a bang this year.

Speaking of summer leaving…come visit us before the year starts again! Get in your vacation before the kids start up with hectic school and extracurricular activities. Cardiff is so peaceful that you really can’t go wrong getting away, even if it’s just for a staycation.

Possible new updates:  We are thinking of adding a wine&cheese night to our weekends…and maybe a daily thing depending on the response to it. Would this be a compelling factor to make reservations at our lodge?

We’re back!

After a bit of a blog hiatus, we’re back in action!

The lodge has recently been undergoing a lot of really great renovations, and today should be the final day of updating the lobby!! The whole floor is now a green marbled tile and it looks really fresh and inviting.

We’re also thinking of adding new items to our boutique. Anybody have any suggestions as to additional items we might promote?

Burning up here!

We have been having some amazingly hot weather here in Cardiff!  Perfect for the beach but not for much else, of course, who needs anything else when you’re on vacation??  Thankfully, the lodge has ac or I would be literally melting. LOL.  Us, San Diegans are not used to such hot weather

More about the Southwest Room

The newly refurbished Southwest Room has quickly become a guest favorite.  The open feel of the room with a custom built fireplace,  two person Jacuzzi tub, and  ocean view becomes a place to get away from daily routine.  Come experience it  yourself.     Jane

Amazing weather and water!

No matter how much working here is amazing, days like this make me wish I didn’t work at all.  The ocean is about 76* right now and it is a perfect day to lay on the beach, surf, or just take a swim!  The water is beautiful right now and is supposed to stay this temperature for a while.  The weather is supposed to get warmer and more perfect for the beach by the weekend!  When people are checking in they may be surprised to find no one working at the desk because we will all be out in the ocean!  Just kidding, but we hope our guests enjoy the water and weather!
