Wonderful

We love visiting Cambria and this is the best place we’ve stayed so far. The location is absolutely amazing. Fiscalini Ranch just a short walk away. The only thing was the kitchen does not have much lighting and the stove is electric. The bed was very comfortable. We would definitely love to come back.

Amazing Ocean Front Stay for Two

The house is as close to the ocean as possible in a great neighborhood and one block from amazing hikes. Absolutely recommend staying here. Very clean and comfortable. They do require you to pick up keys and sign additional paperwork from a property management company despite booking through VRBO.

Magical place to stay

This property is truly a special place. It's charming and quirky in the best possible way. From the window we watched the tide pools, otters playing and even a great blue heron visited. Amazing hiking at the Fiscalini Nature Preserve is only a block away. We cooked during our whole visit, and have NEVER seen such a well equipped kitchen in a VRBO property. We loved everything about our stay.

a magical little cabin

An excellent location. The house is a very charming little gem. Perfect for 2 people. The views are spectacular and the proximity to hiking trails very convenient. We had stayed in this home a couple of times before almost 25 years ago and loved it. The upgrades and improvements that have occurred since then have made it even better. We look forward to returning.

Always the best view

This is a historic Leopold designed house. Organic school of the 60’s. A poetic use of glass, redwood and concrete. Perfect get away for two artists and dogs.

Beautiful spot

If you want the drama of the northern pacific, this place had it. Its all about the views. The house is a cool mid central design, but is dated and a bit more rustic than I imagined it, but still comfortable. There are few opening windows. Only one very small one in the living room. I would stst again.

A gem!

Overlooking the ocean, charming, rustic, clean. This little house is a gem. Every need anticipated: clean towels, soap and shampoo, electrical outlets next to each side of the bed, a fully equipped kitchen. Plush, cozy king sized bed This property is a five star hotel packed in a small, soulful, house. Not to mention the easy walking paths along the ocean bluffs right out your door. We will return!

A little bit of magic

We've rented this simple, amazing little gem for years. Designed by Warren Leopold (famous in the area) its oceanfront location offers glorious coastal views,1960s custom charm and is a short walk to Fiscalini Ranch Preserve. Not fancy but unforgettable.

What’s with the ladder to the control tower?

The view is gorgeous of course. The steps in the house were a bit annoying. We both have arthritis, and hand rails would be nice. Never figured out how to work the shower drain. We were able to use the tv to get to amazon, but otherwise it was a total mystery. Otherwise really quite pleasant.

Cliff cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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: The house experience itself was really good. However, I did not feel satisfied with the process and agency. No human contact was not positive. When I called to try to do an early check in, the phone just rang and rang. Somehow, I doubt it they would've allowed me to do an early check in anyway.
