Happy First Day of Spring

The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month. ~Henry Van Dyke

This morning, I woke up to gray clouds and a warm breeze. Two hours later, I was rushing around my backyard scooping up radios and couches while the rain soaked through everything in sight, and by the time I got here to the lodge it was blue skies and sunshine everywhere. Looking out the window now we have a mini tornado going on and I think I just saw a person flying down the street. Just kidding! The first day of spring has certainly not disappointed its reputation, and would we really have it any other way?

March 22, 2009 has also ushered in many other new beginnings as well. Kite surfers are beginning to take full advantage of the windy season out on Cardiff Beach, and the Flower Fields in Carlsbad are beginning to bloom in full force. http://www.theflowerfields.com/

Our own rooftop garden is beginning to flower in earnest as well. It's the perfect time to enjoy a warm spring weekend at Cardiff by the Sea Lodge and all the great attractions nearby!

Welcoming March

It's coming to the end of another day here at Cardiff Lodge, and I'm about to make the final rounds. My favorite part of the night here will happen in about fifteen minutes, and that's when I go upstairs to sit by the fire for a few moments. If you flip your chair to face the ocean, you can just about hear the waves; and high on the rooftop, the breeze is soft and tireless. sometimes the smallest moments of all are the ones that stand out, and Cardiff-by-the-Sea Lodge is really a place of those memorable moments.

We're already into the third month of 2009 -- can you believe it? I welcome you in this month of flowers and whale watching and almost-spring to visit the lodge and make memories of your own, be they on the rooftop near the firepit, in the garden with a cup of coffee, or in the smiles shared in the discovery of our unique rooms.

Welcome to Cardiff, and welcome to March.

Welcome to The Cardiff Lodge!

Steps away from the blue Pacific Ocean, and just minutes from all San Diego has to offer, there is a place where lush gardens bloom year round. A quaint, seaside village - Cardiff-by-the-Sea - is where people are friendly and the pace is relaxed. We have seventeen luxurious bed and breakfast and guestrooms, each room luxuriously decorated with its own theme and decor. Linger over breakfast on an ocean-view terrace and savor sunsets around an open pit fire ring high on our rooftop garden. At night, enjoy our hot tub under the stars.

Weddings and the Rooftop Garden

One of the most unique aspects of the Cardiff-by-the-Sea Lodge is our beautiful rooftop garden. Throughout the year and especially during the summer, many a happy small wedding is held up there. With panoramic ocean views, a jacuzzi, and a fire ring, the rooftop garden is also flower child to the green thumb of owner James Statser. There is not a month that flowers are not blooming from every surface possible; but April is when the gardens really take off in a flurry of blossoms!
