A Charming Seaside Escape-Spring Special

Spring Special 3/1 thru 5/21
Breathtaking, ocean views. Private beach access just steps away from San Simeon Beach, where your dog is welcome to run and play in the surf for miles. Fall asleep to the sound of the crashing waves, and the scent of fresh salt air. The great room has a electric fireplace, a flat screen TV with Direct TV, Wifi access, and a DVD player. Just outside on the deck, you’ll find the propane BBQ. Visit Cambria’s Farmer’s Market on Friday, and bring home your bounty to prepare in the thoughtfully appointed kitchen. There are two queen bedrooms, and a separate full bath for each one. The master’s bath is ‘en suite'. Miles of walking trails just outside of your front door. Walk to the town of San Simeon to visit restaurants and shops. The Elephant Seal Sanctuary, the Hearst Castle, Wm. Randolf Hearst State Beach, and Cambria are all a short drive away. Lots of exploring to do, or just relax in the peace and quiet. Come enjoy our cottage by the Sea and fell your stress disappear!

Smoking is absolutely prohibited anywhere on, or in the premises. Flat screen TV, DVD, Direct tv, Wifi, propane BBQ, wood burning fireplace, washer & dryer. TOT#6001757

Location was phenomenal! Quick easy walk to quiet beach and hike along the cliffs! Lovely fireplace and deck! Our only minor "complaints" were the loft bed was hard as a rock and unusable, and the kitchen needs more light, a decent can opener, a new sponge upon arrival and more plates (only 5 and 4 of us). Minor inconveniences that did not take much away from our experience, just suggestions for management. We'd love to return!

This was the perfect spot, so close to the beach and a quick trip over to Cambria if we wanted a change of scenery! I was also lucky enough to get engaged here so it was extra special! Thank you for sharing your home with us, and we can’t wait to come back!

Quiet, Clean, Comfortable, With Great Oceanfront Views

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our first time in this rental and it was great. Very clean, well furnished and comfortable. It was nice to have access to the convenient washer/dryer combo, the views out the back door were great, it was private and there were several nearby places for lunch/dinner besides the ones down the road in Cambria. We've always had friendly, professional service from Scenic Coast Propety Management.

Property was welcoming to pets. Had a very nice ocean view. Upon check-in to rental found property had a strong pet smell. We encountered several ticks inside the home during our visit. Plus, the television would not turn on. Overall, we were happy with our stay. Some improvements that could be made to help with issues mentioned above, install hardwood floors to eliminate pet odors and tick issue.

Easter weekend in San Simeon

Wonderful location. Peaceful with beautiful views of the ocean. We had the whole beach to ourselves. A quick drive to Cambria for great restaurants. Plenty of room to relax in the house. House was clean and well appointed with amenities.

Returning for relaxation & coastal beauty

My spouse and I spent a couple nights here 15+ years ago for a getaway wine tasting trip (before having children) . We returned for 3-nights with our teenagers for a relaxing few days to wander along the beaches, hike, visit the elephant seals, and meander through Cambria's shops. It was once again a wonderful getaway.

Frequent visitor

This is the 4th time that we have stayed at this property, spread over several years. Location is perfect, whether we want to walk the few steps to the beach, drive into Paso Robles for wine tasting, or visit Cambria just down the road. It's not fancy, but it is well maintained and very nice. Love that we can bring the dog, and they even provide separate dog towels and their is a small hose on the side of the house for post-beach dog activities.

Relaxing & Beautiful Location

The condo is in a very nice location. It is attached to a second condo, but that was not a problem at all. This was the 2nd property in from the beach. Part of the view is obstructed by a two-story rental, but there is plenty of open space to see the ocean. The bedrooms are spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen had all of the basics we needed. My only slight complaint is that the management company does not reply to my message via the VRBO app. However, if you call, they do answer. My adult son and I had a very relaxing time there. We were glad to be able to bring our dog with us as well.

Beach house

Nice view from back deck to ocean with access to beach and open space. Good location for going to Cambria and day trips. Not much as far as restaurants and shops tight there but I didn't mind. Cambria farmers market was great if you’re there in summer. Duplex was quiet and clean. No streaming on tv just basic cable via dish though wifi worked well. I would have appreciated less worn pots and pans since I like to cook. Well worn. Beautiful area.

We thought we had a small problem because the sports channel was not offered in the cable package. I called the management office and within an hour the sports channel was added an available for me to watch the golf channel and Laker game. It’s our favorite place to stay.

Always good

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We've stayed at this property many times, and it is always good. The only suggestion I might make is to use a scent-free laundry detergent and a scent-free dryer sheet when doing the laundry for those of us who happen to be scent-intolerant. The smell of Fabreeze is overwhelming. Also, the fans in both bathrooms do not work.
