About this property

Cambria Ocean View Tudor on Forested Preserve

SEAVIEW ON BURTON: This Tudor style home sits above a Monterey pine forest sweeping a half mile down to the ocean, one of the few vacation homes in the area which borders a forest preserve. Enjoy a daytime stroll to the ocean or the views from the decks, all west ocean facing. After a spectacular sunset, watch your favorite program in the living room alongside an evening fire.

BATTERY-BACKED POWER. With the home's Tesla Powerwall battery backup system charged by solar, enjoy a worry free winter stay - you'll have heat and light even if the rest of the neighborhood doesn't. An eero mesh wi-fi network means that guests' internet and streaming services are second to none.

Guests are within minutes of scenic walking trails through pine-forested Strawberry Canyon,' which lies directly behind the property. The beach is an easy 15-minute walk through the woods and along quiet residential streets. You can pick through the tide pools at nearby Lampton Cliffs park, or walk along the boardwalk bluff trail or on the miles of forest and marine terrace paths of the stunningly beautiful public Fiscalini Ranch Preserve.

EV CHARGING STATION: Bring your electric vehicle and take advantage of the vehicle charging port. For more information, please contact us.

Seaview on Burton is a site-managed property, and guest needs are addressed promptly. For traveler security the property has an exterior security camera.

Idyllic secluded place.

We had a wonderful stay here. So peaceful and relaxing. Some may prefer being closer to the beach but for us, being in such a secluded, natural forested space was quite heavenly. The house is comfortable and a real haven at the end of a day.

Nice weekend in Cambria

Property manager was helpful. Place was nice & clean. View was great! Access is to the house only, not the grounds. The house does have steep stairs. So if someone had mobility issues the stairs could be a problem.

Quiet & Beautiful Home Away From Home

The location, the house, the neighbors, and the host were all great! There were a few early hiccups that were, in all honesty, my fault (always read EVERYTHING before booking), but James was gracious and willing to work through my misses to make our stay amazing. Minus some cobwebs and floors that could have been a wee-bit cleaner (oh, and some aluminum foil would've been nice :-) ) the house was perfect and afforded us a great place to return after our daily adventures. HIGHLY recommend this home and host and we hope to get the chance to return one day! THANKS, JAMES!

Beautiful view

Beautiful view of the ocean from the decks. We saw much wild life walk past. Loved the place and would definitely stay there again. Very relaxing and comfortable. The home is very accessible to the town and beaches. Our only complaint, the great room had no TV/VCR for the family to sit together and enjoy a movie, and the lighting over the dinning table is quite dim, and makes it difficult to play family games. Even though the home is not really set up for family activities, we had a great time, enjoyed our stay, and would stay again. Thank you Mr. Kelty.

Relaxing stay in Cambria

The house was clean and the description and pictures were very accurate. Communication with the manager was good, very detailed directions and easy check in. I like that we were able to park in the garage. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you would need if you wanted to cook in. I can't rate the view of the ocean because it was foggy/cloudy our entire visit and was never visible. We did enjoy all the trees, birds, turkey and deer. As stated in other reviews there is not a TV in the main living area downstairs. There is a TV in the master bedroom with a small sitting area and one in another bedroom. Also, the stairs are a bit steep, so if anyone in your group has trouble with stairs take that into consideration.

Cozy Retreat Nestled in the Trees

James’ home is a calm, comfortable, and cozy retreat nestled in the trees. It was perfect for three moms to rejuvenate before picking up our kids from camp. We loved the beautiful pine floors and high ceilings. Evenings were spent in the vaulted living room next to the fireplace, creating a super cozy atmosphere. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed for cooking, and the labels on the cabinets and drawers were really helpful. The bedrooms were spacious and comfy, too. Some of us had to work during our stay in Cambria, so we really appreciated the fast internet and the spaciousness of the house – plenty of room for everyone to find their own work nook. Our favorite spot was definitely the deck. We spent a lot of time out there with hot cups of tea, chatting, and watching the amazing variety of birds. We took walks around the neighborhood, and although we didn’t get a chance to walk the Strawberry Loop trail nearby, we’ll save that for next time! James was an awesome host, with clear instructions and even had the lights on for us when we arrived late in the evening. Thanks, James, for sharing your home with us!

Great location.

Very charming home in a beautiful neighborhood. The house was very spacious and kitchen was huge. The location is beautiful because it's surrounded by trees way up on a hill, we saw deer and wild turkeys many times when we drove from town to the house and I enjoyed looking at all of the other unique homes on the way to this house. All the bedrooms were big (very large master bedroom) and great natural light in the kitchen and living room. There were a few things I wish could have been a little different. We couldn't get into the house for about an hour after arriving because we were given the wrong code for the door (an innocent mistake but really frustrating after our long drive). Also a few things I wish were taken care of, lots of cob webs on the deck and a few in the dining room, we wanted to use the bbq but the ignitor wasn't working, a Christmas decoration in the living room in the middle of summer, and I found old rusty paint cans under the sink in the bathroom when I went to put something down there. Of course these things were minor and we still enjoyed this beautiful home.

Beautiful house

This is a beautiful house in a lovely quiet area. James who was very freindly was also very helpful in giving us hints and advice about places to visit. It was lovely to return to this peaceful house after a day out and about and be able to relax in the lounge. The kitchen was well laid out and our bedroom, the master bedroom, was comfortable. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. I would recommend this property to anyone wishing to stay in the area. Cambria is a small town with a variety of shops and a good supermarket. It is within easy reach of all areas up and down Highway 1 in the San Simeon region. My only disappointment was the inability to be able to use the laundry room. We were on a ‘road trip’ for a photography project with our accommodation split between hotels and house rentals. I had chosen each house with the ability to catch up on washing. However, this property does not allow use of the laundry room for short stay visitors. This information was not apparent until shortly before our stay. I understand the problem with water shortage and rates and _did_ arrange with the owner to pay and ‘excess’ of $20 but the laundry was locked. I guess he forgot our arrangement. However, I feel that others should know that if they are on a short visit, the laundry facilities will not be available to them.

A little disappointing

We were really looking forward to our stay and we were all a little underwhelmed. The house was decent, but showed it's age. There were cobwebs throughout the house and the towels smelled "musty". The place felt like it could do with a lick of paint. The deck furniture was not very nice (worn wood) and the area in the backyard appeared messy and unkept. There were a few minor issues regarding the wifi and washing machine which the owner responded to very promptly.

Great place in a great location

Great house, nicely appointed. Location was fabulous for walking and cycling - easy to walk through the trees to the water and enjoy all the nice close-by hiking in Cambria. The owner was great at communication and the property had two king sized beds - which is great for two couples and very hard to find.The non ensuite bathroom was a little dated and dark - not a showstopper for us - but a little room for improvement. We would happily return.

Our Cambria Stay

Overall the property and the home was lovely. Check in was delayed a little, because the wrong code was given. This was rectified in a short amount of time. A few things like shampoo, blow dryer, aluminum foil, saran wrap and a step stool could be added to make it a little easier for guests. (We're short!) These are usually on site at most air b & bs we've stayed. Not a problem if we had known to bring our own. These views of the pines and ocean are beautiful. We only saw 1 little squirrel on the property, but many turkeys on the road leading up to the house. We had a wonderful 3 nights! Thank you James.

About the host

Hosted by James Kelty

Host profile image
As writer and documentary filmmaker working in many areas of California, I moved with my family from Los Angeles to this spectacular part of the Central Coast in 1988, both as an inspirational retreat and a place with easy access to other areas of the Golden State.

Why they chose this property

We love back country hiking and mountain biking, particular in Big Sur, for which Cambria is the southern gateway, as well as kayaking in San Simeon Cove. The area is also rich in history, which is my area of expertise as a writer/producer, so that made it an equally good fit. Cultural and environmental attractions include Hearst Castle and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. I work with both of these organizations on interpretive media projects.

What makes this property unique

My hope is that guests coming to this special house bordering the forest and the ocean will leave feeling refreshed and inspired.
