Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

Cavalier Oceanfront Resort

8/10 Good
"room was clean and welcoming; rocking chairs were on our patio where you coud sit and view the ocean. Our room also had binoculars to use while there, which was a nice surprise. the walkability of the property was a plus, particularly the walk along the cliffs overlooking the beach. the pool and hot tub were a plus for the one sunny day we had. very dog-friendly - lots of dogs every where. Only comment is that when I messaged the property, it was days later when I heard back. It wasn't anything critical, thankfully. There isn't much in the immediate area, but Cambria is only 5 minutes away with lots of places to eat, dink wine, walkable, etc. We had a great stay!"
