The location is great, check-in and check-out was very easy, and the house is very nicely decorated. We were there over New Year and the inclement weather prevented us from taking advantage of the outdoor areas, but it looked like a very nice place to sit. The kitchen and bathrooms are a little dated, and we would recommend a dehumidifier to help with the challenges of the local climate. We could not get the hot tub to a good temperature and the chlorine was very strong.

Great place to stay with my family for a wedding weekend. Three bedrooms are a necessity with two teenage boys, and the master suite was perfect for us. Kitchen is adequately equipped to cook meals, which is helpful since Cambria rolls up its sidewalks early.Access to the nature preserve that takes you down to the cliffs above the ocean is literally across the street. Hot tub is an added bonus.Be aware that check in instructions are emailed to you at the time you book, from a management company, so check your spam folder. I booked three months in advance and was concerned that the day of our stay I hadn't received instructions, but the response from the management company was prompt, and we had no issues getting in.

We liked that the home is located close to trails for walking and bike riding. The home was clean and decorated nicely. The only negative is that the hot tub didn't get as warm as we would have liked.

Great, affordable retreat!

This is a sweet rental with all the basics. It was clean and ready for us. Things are a little dated, and the beds were not the most comfortable. It could use some upgrades, but was also very affordable, which was nice. It has a short walk to the beach, but no real view from the house. Appreciated the easy check in and check out process as well.

Fun and relaxing stay

The house was in a beautiful friendly neighborhood. The nature park entrance is right across from the house with so many great trails to bike and walk! It was the first time in a long time we all got to see each other and it couldn’t have been a better location. Easy directions for check in and the house was well stocked and clean. Location is perfect for a family with too many beautiful beaches nearby to list.

Great location

The location of this property was nothing short of amazing. Nestled in a lovely part of Cambria, across the street from acres of trails that lead to pine forest and stunning ocean views. The house was spacious and had most everything we needed. The spa was a welcome haven for chilly afternoons. There were a few things that could use fixing- door knobs, light switches, toaster, and a fishy smelling microwave. Other than that the house was spacious and cozy. We had a great time!

Relaxing Hide-Away

Cozy place in a quiet neighborhood, with easy access to trails and beach. Wonderful get away. Management extremely responsive, and helpful. Spa didn’t work the first night, so they had someone out the next morning to fix it! Small forewarning, the living room furniture has been well-loved and there is a bit of a musty smell to the home when you first enter - air it out and take your allergy meds! We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return!

A Gift From The Sea

This house is a nice size , a very hilly location, the rug in the living room needs cleaning or replacement. The furniture looks okay but sags when you sit down. There are lamps with burnt out bulbs. The stereo equipment needs to be replaced, it doesn't work. The barbeque worked well. We did not use the spa. Blow dryer was unusable , due to the fact that it has a European plug. Beds were comfortable, linens fine, pillows fine. Coffee maker was very slow to brew. All in all, a good home, needs updating in some areas.
