I thing the thing I like the most was plenty of comfortable seating in the living room. We had a very nice stay and had what we needed to get by for our time there.
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.

Very comfortable house with everything we needed to have a relaxing vacation.
Everything was well stocked. The yards were very pretty and relaxing! Very homey and comfortable! Very quite neighborhood. Would definitely return to stay again!
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

This is a great vacation home in every way but the carpets need replacing.
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.

We really enjoyed our time here. The property is really nice but the best feature is the location on the edge of Fiscalini. 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.

Reviewer Comments:
Gift From The Sea rental location was perfect....hiking in Preserve and beach park were both within walking distance. Also the rental is close to town making quick access for all our needs. The home was spotless and offered plenty of extra space towels and sleeping pillow choices. Very quiet and relaxing areas in front and back yards.
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.

The home was clean, comfortable and a great location. Close to Shamel Park.. It’s an older home with a small kitchen. 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.

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.

My friends and I just stayed here for the 2nd time, and have already booked it again for next year. It has become our happy go-to for our annual get-together. It's clean, bright, airy, quiet and serene. The front and rear garden areas are delightful - and lovely! There's a nature walk just across the road, plus the neighborhood is great to walk in. We absolutely love it!

We've stayed in this lovely house before but two things have gone down hill. 1) Hot tub was so dirty it was unusable. 2) AC was not functioning.The house was very clean and we would stay here again, assuming the broken AC and dirty hot tub were taken care of.
