We had a great time. Weather was great and the beach time was fun.
We came into town for our wedding. We enjoyed the home. It's easy to find and convient to shops and the beach. The beds are comfortable and sheets are super soft. The owner was very accommodating to our large party.
Property was well maintained and beds were super comfortable.Issue was the listing did not mention the stairs to the bedrooms My husband has difficulty walking and uses a walker, so the stairs were a real challenge.This should be mentioned in the listing.
Very comfortable house, super easy check in and great communication from the management. Previous reviews mentioned the house wasn’t stocked well but the management must have corrected that for we had everything we needed and would happily stay in this house again.
The Ca coast is a beautiful place to vacation in the summer. Cambria has plenty of restaurants and an adequate market. While comfortable and clean I’d recommend this property for shorter not longer visits since there’s no washer and drier and the kitchen is just adequate.
Lovely region. Lots to see and do. Cozy house. Although description of amenities clear, be prepared to bring things like foil, ziplock bags or other storage, napkins, dish towels.
Our family of four stayed comfortably here for our weekend getaway. It was clean. It was stocked with everything we needed to cook some meals. It was short trip to Hearst Castle. And about 15 min from downtown Cambria. It was so cool to be near some nice diverse hiking trails. We would definitely stay again.
Christy is a very accommodating host. We had sudden changes in our visit that was not under our control. Christy was able to help my family
by letting us prolong our stay We are so grateful for Christy’s kindness and empathy. We would definitely stay there again.

Convenient location
We arrived to 2 deer right behind the backyard fence! The house location was not reveled until we made our final payment…. Probably because it backs up against hwy 1- but it was not too noisy, but would have liked to have known. House is just a few minutes from moonstone beach, downtown Cambria, and about 20 minutes from Morro Bay and Cayucos. Beds were comfortable, and house is pet friendly.
If you are planning on staying more than 5 days just know there is not access to a washer/dryer available, so you have to use the laundromat in town. Also the rate is for 2 people, and an additional charge per extra guest per day for no more than 7 total guests will be added to your total as well as a pet fee- so it adds up on the itemized bill.

Needs some TLC
Not what I expected…several light bulbs were burnt out, experience slow draining bathroom sinks and tub/shower. Mini blinds and window shades needs to be replaced. Suggest bringing own paper goods; provided paper towels and toilet paper were thin and scratchy. Beds were comfortable. Suggest caution when using their seasoning. Opened a packet of crushed red peppers…found a larva moving on our pizza. Overall, property was clean but needs some TLC. We wouldn’t stay there again.
This house was very clean, the furniture was in excellent shape, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the beds were the most comfortable beds we've stayed in. The property manager was very responsive to any issues that came up and worked to resolve them quickly. The only exception to the house being well-equipped is that there are no laundry facilities here. However, there is a laundromat very close by, though, in Cambria.
This is a great house for a family who is looking for a home base to explore the Central Coast. It's located right next to Highway 1, so you can hop right on the road to explore other communities in addition to being able to see all that Cambria offers. You will hear some occasional highway noise from the house, but it didn't interfere with sleeping. If you're looking to work remotely (as we did), plan on working on the dining room table. or bring a lap desk for one of the bedrooms. The view of the ocean in the listing photos is just a short drive (5 min) from the house. There are several beautiful places to see the ocean and a great beach at Moonstone beach, and all of these are very close.

Dispendieux
Cambria est une jolie petite localité prêt de la mer et au sud de Big Sur. Toutefois, cette maison est prête de la route principale et bruyante. Pour le prix, nous avons été surpris se constater que beaucoup d’items de bases étant manquant (mouchoirs, liquide à vaisselle, serviette à vaisselle, etc). Un avis précédent mentionnait ceci mais nous n’avions pas remarqué. Bien que ceci a été communiqué à la propriétaire dès le départ, aucune correction n’a été apporté. Par ailleurs, certains items sont disponible en quantité restreinte (ex.: papier de toilette). La propreté était passable. Beaucoup de poiles de chien sur les divans et sous les lits. Finalement, l’affiche mentionnait l’accès à une piscine. Aucune piscine n’est présente sur la propriété et aucune instruction concernant une piscine commune quelconque. Donc dans son ensemble, ce n’est pas un mauvais endroit, mais trop dispendieux pour la qualité et l’emplacement de la location.
