Pleasant stay at A Gift from the Sea

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a very pleasant and peaceful stay at A Gift from the Sea. Initially when we arrived the house was a little warm and stuffy but opening windows and doors made a huge difference since the area has its own natural cooling system. Everything was lovely and we really enjoyed our stay. Very close to places we wanted to visit, and easy in and out. Great for anyone with mobilty issues as the house is all on once floor and no steps.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home on the hill above Cambria was a great location for walking the Fiscalini Ranch Reserve (access right across the street) as well as exploring the beaches and greater Cambria area. It was clean and comfortable. We loved the front patio for lounging, dining, reading and visiting when the afternoon sun came out.

Great location for this cute home. Loved the access to the Fiscalini Preserve. The home worked well for 3 generations, and the hot-tub was an added bonus. This is an older property, but it had everything we needed

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.

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.

We did lots of walks right from the front door. When we are next back in Cambria we will definitely try and rent this property again.

Has a very nice patio in front and small one in rear. Bar b que old and dirty, didn’t work. We have been coming to Cambria for over 20 years for family reunion. We go through Scenic Coast Realty for the rentals and have had Outstanding Service every time.

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.

Relaxing Visit to Cambria

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a lovely home that is in good condition. The furnishings were comfortable and the home was nicely equipped. The home is located in the flat area of Park Hill which allows you to walk easily around the neighborhood. Also if mobility issues are a problem this home does not have stairs to deal with. It is close to town as well as a short distance to the beach. And the garden is lovely. We had a couple of small maintenance items and Scenic Coast Mgmt was quick to respond to our call. We would certainly rent this home again should we have the opportunity to return to Cambria.

There's a nature walk just across the road, plus the neighborhood is great to walk in. We absolutely love it!
