You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Charming Remodeled Single Level. HotTub. Fenced backyard. Porch view!

Non- smoking property. NO SMOKING OR VAPING INSIDE. Non- smokers only, please. No vaping indoors, please. Our house is a licensed vacation rental, in full compliance with area ordinances.

This single-story home with five stairs to the entrance offers comfort and charm from the moment you enter. It is just a two-minute walk down the street to the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve & bluff headland walking trails, where you can walk all the way to see the ocean along the Ranch trail. The most outstanding natural feature of the preserve is the dramatic ocean bluff that runs more than a mile along the shoreline that rests within the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary where in season you can view migrating whales, elephant seals and other ocean mammals. It is a short 1.5 mile drive to Cambria East Village, a .9 mile drive (or walk!) to the Harvey Street public beach access at Sherwood Avenue , and about 2.7 miles to the popular Shamel Park and Beach area.

This completely updated, single level home is beautiful. Bamboo-look flooring is accentuated by high baseboards, and custom painted walls are topped by crown molding. The kitchen and bathrooms have been updated, with granite counters in the former and slate and stone in the latter. You will find an open floor plan featuring a sun-filled living and dining area. Handcrafted woodwork can be seen on the artistic front door and guest bathroom mirror, and unique touches are visible throughout the entire house. Skylights and unusual light fixtures make even looking up enjoyable. New dual pane windows are covered by new plantation shutters. The backyard has a large deck, lots of beautiful vegetation, and a few rustic outbuildings. Enjoy a soak in the hot tub after days of combing the beach and hiking the trails and shopping downtown. Our front is a view of wooded, vacant lots and the wildlife that enjoys open space in Cambria. You will fall in love with this home!

Enjoy the Keurig, coffee maker, wonderful kitchen pots and pans and everything you could possibly need to cook and bake. Please bring your own coffee pods or ground coffee; filters provided. The freezer has an ice maker and there is water in the refrigerator door.

There are games and puzzles and books. Our home also offers cable Wi-Fi if you have to bring your work with you or just want to stay connected. Cell phone service isn't great anywhere in Cambria, so we offer a home phone for your use. You can also connect your cell phone to the Wi-Fi and enable Wi-Fi calling/texting and not miss out.

There are four Smart TVs in this house. There's one in the living room, and there is one in each bedroom. You can log into your own accounts on any of the TVs to stream and watch your favorite shows and movies! There is comfortable seating for 6 people in the living room. There are two amazing recliners, and the two ends of the leather sofa recline! It's a perfect room for relaxing in after a wonderful day out and about.

Two of the bedrooms offer California king size beds. The 3rd bedroom has twin beds for flexibility in sleeping arrangements. All the beds & mattresses are new, very comfortable & have beautiful bedding designed for a peaceful sleeping experience. All three bedrooms have ceiling fan in case you want to get those cool ocean breezes circulating. 99%+ homes in this area do not have air conditioning, so ceiling fans are an added bonus if you need a little cooler air.

Front entry area of the home has a wonderful porch from where you can watch the deer, squirrels, Blue Jays, redheaded woodpeckers, wild turkeys, and other wildlife in the vacant lots across the streets. We have bird feeders and squirrel feeders in the front and backyard, so bring some unsalted peanuts in the shell and or bird food to enjoy the beautiful birds and critters feeding! The front and back have pretty landscaping and have plenty of sweet places to sit & enjoy the landscaping or take in the sea air. Enjoy the 6-person hot tub in the beautiful back yard and outside dining table and chairs. Backyard is completely fenced in. There is also a "secret room" in the backyard with a gas stove fireplace. Enjoy a glass of wine by the fire outside in the cool evenings!

Come & enjoy the peace & tranquility our home has to offer along with sunsets, good cheer & memories to be made with each other or with friends while exploring all that Cambria & the Central Coast has to offer.

Wonderful home for our holiday getaway!

We had a lovely stay and felt right at home in the space that was sweetly decorated for Christmas. The town of Cambria is a delight and we lucked out with dry days during a stormy week. Thank you for helping us enjoy our winter break!

Great, spacious one level home

This house was perfect! It was even better than the photos. It has single level living with 3 very spacious bedrooms. The beds are so comfortable. The living, kitchen, areas are large and very well laid out. This house has everything anyone might need for their stay The outdoor area is very cool. My adult children really enjoyed the hot tub.

Nice place.

There were many very nice things about this place. It was clean and well appointed. The rooms were huge and the beds comfortable. The TV setup was great but you have to bring your own streaming logins and passwords, which wasn't a big deal for us.We had some communication problems with the owner when we got there, and we couldn't get into the house until we heard back from them, which took well over an hour. There were a few things that keep me from giving it a higher rating, such as the outside landscape needs to be weeded, and there were a few little things that I missed, like fans in the bathroom or better lighting, especially in the bedrooms. But overall it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Great house with hot tub

Had a great time with all we needed. Tip for other guests: screenshot check in instructions and WiFi info BEFORE arriving in the area. Cell reception is poor near the home, so this will save you having to drive back out to the highway to get reception to look up the instructions for getting in or accessing WiFi to look it up.

A squirrelly holiday stay.

We visited Cambria for Thanksgiving and enjoyed our time at this cottage. Our kids and dog especially liked the back yard. The vines and outdoor structures were a perfect backdrop for a child's imagination. The decor was eclectic. Counting squirles througout the house made for a fun game. Only one of the three bedrooms did not have a skylight, so if you like to sleep in, bring a mask. The area was beautiful with hiking trails starting just down the road from the house. The host was wonderful to work with. Very communicitave and she even sent us a list of dog friendly restaurants she recommended.

Great Time

Everything was great. We extended our stay one additional day. A bit of a problem with the short, steep driveway as we had to load/unload at an angle. It would be a big help if the flat garage was available. My husband missed his news channels. I loved the mirrors.....thinning lol. Will probably rent again.

Our home away from home

This is our 3rd time staying at this property and it suits our needs well. We always enjoy stays here as it is centrally located which allows us to explore the entire central coast area from the Paso Robles wine country, to Hearst Castle and above as well as to Pismo Beach and all areas in between. You will need to bring your own Keurig pods or ground coffee (2coffee systems provided) and laundry detergent if you plan on doing laundry. We were fortunate that charcoal was left there by previous renters but I’m not sure if that is usually provided by the owner. The kitchen has pretty much all one needs to prepare meals as far as cookware, dishes and some spices. Overall a great spot in Cambria.

Beautifully furnished, great location

The house is beautifully decorated and well-equipped with brand new furnishings, linens, electronics, and kitchen equipment. There is new paint throughout and the bathrooms have been recently remodeled. The layout is great, with an extra door separating the living area from the bedrooms. We had plenty of room for our family of seven with five young children. There is a large kitchen and eating area, as well as a laundry room (which came in handy with all the clothes we dirtied while hiking and beachcombing). The backyard has a huge deck with table/chairs, hot tub, and stove/fireplace. The living room fireplace was cozy during the cold weather. The front of the house has a porch running the length of the house, which looks out over vacant property with lots of trees. Trails accessing Fiscalini Ranch Preserve are about two residential blocks from the house. The whole neighborhood has a mountain/forest/wooded feel. It's like being at the mountains and the beach at the same time! We spent a ton of time at Moonstone Beach and on the Fiscalini trails. The owner was very easy to communicate with.

Magical getaway!

Where to begin? This lovely home, nestled in this jewel of a community, wraps its arms around you from the minute you lay eyes on it. Charming throughout, spacious, well appointed, spotlessly clean ... around every corner, in every room, is something fun and lovely to discover. This Owner's taste is impeccable, fun and whimsical. Loved all the artistic and quality touches, the fine linens, the ample cookware for any chef, collectibles from all over to enjoy. The back garden is an enchanted spot all on its own; spacious deck, two sheltered hideaways. We love love loved it all. Front porch with old fashioned rocking chair, comfortable seats, with a world class view to a natural park across the street, we spent many an afternoon relaxing and enjoying the numerous deer and wild turkey that roam freely throughout. Cambria also is a jewel; offering so many charming, quaint and lovely restaurants, art and antique shops, and etc. Walking trails for your pooch abound; around the neighborhood, or to the local dog park, or the ranch, or Moonstone Beach boardwalk .... list goes on. Highly recommend! We will def. be back!

Wonderful Home and Stay!

We had an amazing time at this beautiful home in Cambria and can’t wait to come back again. We saw so many deer and turkeys and other wildlife right in front of the house. The rooms were spacious and lovely. The furniture comfy. And we were so grateful to have been able to bring our elderly dog. The garden was so special as well.

Cambria Home

We stayed at this property for an evening while passing through the area. Cambria is a charming town and we particularly enjoyed the restaurants downtown. The property is located in a nice hillside neighborhood and has a steep driveway (there is a garage but it is inaccessible to guests), and steep stairs to the front porch; the home is spacious and comfortable. We had no particular difficulties with anything other than that hot tub seemed over chemicaled and foamed greatly. Overall, glad we stayed here.
