This home in a very quiet neighborhood is beautifully appointed with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The well stocked kitchen was easy to navigate with quality equipment and dish ware. The house was impeccably clean with gleaming windows, double pane windows with nice window coverings and a spotless bathroom with plenty of hot water and towels. The yard is small but securely fenced with lovely plantings and stone work and seating options in the front and back to relax outdoors which made hanging out with our dog stress free. This was by far one of the nicest coastal rentals we have stayed at. Cambria is indeed a dog friendly town, we can’t wait to come back. I gave four stars for communication. We did not receive any communication before our arrival. I called the office on our drive over, Heidi was very responsive and the house was ready for us. When we stopped by the office for keys we were also given a nice bottle of wine and a toy for our pooch, which was a nice touch. So many places to hike, shop, eat and hang out with your fur baby. A great experience! ##### Marianna F.

Reviewer Comments: Serene Oasis Amidst Nature's Symphony: A Perfect Getaway in Cambria.Nestled in the heart of Cambria, this charming cottage offers an unparalleled retreat into nature's embrace. Surrounded by picturesque landscapes and tranquil sounds, every moment is a reminder of the beauty of the Central Coast.From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by the soothing melodies of chirping birds and rustling leaves. The cottage itself is a haven of comfort, with every amenity thoughtfully provided for. Whether you're lounging in the cozy living room, preparing a meal in the fully-equipped kitchen, or unwinding on one of the private brick patios, every corner exudes warmth and relaxation.But it's the outdoor experience that truly steals the show. Step outside, and you're greeted by sprawling vistas of lush greenery and distant ocean views. Take a leisurely stroll through the nearby trails, breathe in the crisp, salty air, and let the stresses of everyday life melt away.As evening falls, gather around the fire pit under a blanket of stars, sharing stories and laughter with loved ones. Then retreat to the plush beds, lulled to sleep by the gentle symphony of nature outside your window.In every way, this Cambria cottage is a haven of tranquility, where the beauty of the surroundings harmonizes perfectly with the comfort of modern amenities. Whether you're seeking adventure or simply a moment of peace, this is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The property is very clean and well maintained at all exterior and interior spaces. Property management provides exceptional service and is able to answer all questions. Heidi is a pleasure to work with. My Mother, and dog Margarita had a wonderful stay and cannot wait to plan our next visit! ##### brittany k.

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 cottage was perfect for a getaway from the noise of the city. We were welcomed by deer, wild turkeys, and a multitude of birds. I especially appreciated having the fenced in yard for my dog to run and explore. The owners gave us a bottle of wine and a dog toy which made the stay that much more special. The kitchen was equipped with all the supplies I needed to cook. Internet worked perfect. The cottage was clean and the front and back doors and windows helped to keep the temperature comfortable. The bluff trail was a short drive from the cottage. The rental company was quick to respond to questions. I highly recommend staying here. ##### Leah P.

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: We enjoyed our stay at Downing! We unfortunately had another property right down the street cancel on us 2 days before we were supposed to check in but Cambria Vacation Rentals came through for us! We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary and brought our 2 dogs and infant daughter. The place was plenty large enough for us and our dogs enjoyed the yard. They also enjoyed watching the turkeys walk by. The movie selection was awesome I found about a dozen I'd been wanting to watch. We loved how close it was to town (just far enough), and everything, including Fiscialini Ranch Preserve, was just 5-10 minutes away. CVR was very accommodating with check in and check out, gave us extra fans for the unseasonably warm weather since most places don't have air conditioning, and even sent us away with dog toys and a bottle of local wine (courtesy of the owner). 10/10 Would book again. ##### Adam B.

Reviewer Comments: Flash (a “Westie”) and I could not have stayed in a nicer place or Cambria location. The cabin could not have been better equipped with the nicest of things. It was super clean. Having a yard was such a nice bonus. Trees, trees, trees everywhere and on one of our morning walks we were greeted by a deer not 60 yards away. There were just the two of us but I could see a family of four enjoying several weeks, or the summer staying in this exceptional cabin. property management was extremely helpful. Be sure to checkout property management operational hours and do not expect easy access to your cell phone. ##### Rhys B.

Check-in was easy (and included a free bottle of wine). The house is immaculate with a great layout and everything needed to cook meals, which we did most mornings and evenings. The neighborhood is quiet and green and close to the Fiscalini Ranch Reserve for nice walks on the ocean bluffs and only a few minutes' drive to the conveniences of town. We had a dog with us and the fenced-in patio surrounding the house made it easy for her to come in and out as she pleased. Very relaxing stay. ##### Robert B.

It's furnished well and has a great kitchen. The manager was wonderful. The yard could be cleaned up a bit. There were a lot of cobwebs. But this year we have the same problem at home. We would be happy to come here again. ##### Debbie T. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 13 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication This lovely small home is nestled among trees in a very quiet neighborhood just a few minutes drive from the Cambria town center with its nice selection of high quality restaurants and charm. The sloping lot provides nice privacy when sitting outside either in front or behind. The kitchen had everything you could ever need to cook and the extra TV room was large and comfortable. We used this lovely home as a base for visiting Hearst Castle to the north and the lovely towns of Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo to the south--easy drives. Definitely will come again to take another tour of Hearst Castle and explore the area more! ##### Michael Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor #### Russell H. 22 Jun 2024 #### Cottage rental Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we used the stove or oven there was a strong smell of gas in the cottage. Tap water was terrible, we didn’t initially see the Brita filter system. Water made tea undrinkable. Locking doors was difficult. Kitchen faucet base is not fastened down and spins around. Cottage is not as pet friendly as we expected. if dogs won’t potty on bricks or in small planted area by the shed, there’s no place for them to go. Streets are not great for walking dogs either. ##### Russell H.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than 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 booked a house with Cambria Vacation Rentals and was called a few days before our stay, explaining that we would have to stay in a different house. This other house was fine, but had only one bathroom, and an odd layout. The house we chose initially had a hot tub and partial view of the ocean. Although the company was considerate, this was not the ideal house for us. However, after my roommmate called the office to explain the situation, we received a generous one night refund. I thought that was wonderful. The house we stayed in was located in a beautiful spot and was clean and well stocked. I did trip over the brick fireplace area in the living room a number of times, but otherwise the stay was lovely. I'd definitely recommend Cambria Vacation rentals and plan on using them in the future. ##### lynn b. ---
