The house was a lovely place for our mom's getaway. A really quiet neighborhood and views of the water from the sofa in the living room. Very close to Fiscalini Ranch Preserve, which we just loved. Would definitely recommend.
There were more amenities than anticipated. I could have left two big boxes at home lol. All the members in my party enjoyed as well. Very peaceful and could hear the crashing waves. Beautiful home. Would love to stay again soon.
This house is perfect. It has a spacious open plan flowing easily from the living room, kitchen and dining room. This is obviously a family home and there are nice personal touches which give the house a warm and welcoming feel. The location is great with easy access to Shamel Park and beach, the Moonstone beach boardwalk, in addition to the walking trails along the bluff in the Fiscalini Ranch.
Third time to stay at this property. Love the location and the layout of the house.

Very roomy, and well equipped kitchen amenities.
We loved the house it was clean, had everything we needed and was a beautiful house. Check in and check out was easy. It was also a short walk to the beach.
This house comfortably accommodated 3 adult couples in the living room and dining room. The bedrooms were good sized with cozy beds. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, utensils, plates, cups, bowls and would have been perfect except for only 5 wine glasses. There are great walks around the neighborhood to the coast. We would definitely stay here again!

Needs SMART TV. Ran out of TP. Was not provided enough for our stay. 2 different circuit breakers tripped while doing normal house activities, like making a meal in the kitchen.
Our party consisted of my wife and my self and our two adult children and a significant other. We enjoyed views of the ocean from the great room. A high point was our dinner at Brydge restaurant. Instructions on TV and it’s remote should be improved
This rental was clean, spacious and worked well for our family gathering. We often stay in rental homes and this was the first time in recent memory that we needed to use actual keys. This required stopping by the property management office at the beginning and end of our trip and using a lock box. A digital keypad on the rental would be much easier. I would also suggest that a gas BBQ would be much simpler and cleaner than a charcoal grill. Another suggestion would be to furnish the home with decent quality shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Finally, we struggled with operating the television in the family room. There were no operating instructions and we finally resorted to casting from our phones. Despite those minor inconveniences, we did enjoy our stay. The home is located in a clean, quiet neighborhood and within easy walking distance to the beach.

The home is comfortable, clean, and well stocked. My family had lots of space to relax, read, watch shows, and cook. There’s a nice ocean view from the living room which makes it a great place to read and relax. It’s a short walk to the beach and to Fiscalini Ranch for hiking.

After an unexpected cancellation by Vacasa, the manager of a rental we reserved on VRBO - we had to take matters into our own hands to quickly find a replacement . Wow we could not have been more pleased with the rental house, service provided by Scenic Coast, sometimes things work out for the best and this was one of those times!!

This is a very clean, well maintained and well stocked house. The kitchen is easy to use. Everything works. It’s a very comfortable house with lovely decor. Beds were big and comfy.There doesn’t seem to be any directions about using the tv and maybe there’s no cable or streaming, but there are plenty of DVDs. . The views from the livungroom are fabulous. It’s just such a lovely house.

We had another fantastic stay at A Step Away. The chilly ocean breeze blowing in from the front windows gives you a respite from the valley heat and hustle and bustle. This is our favorite place to enjoy Cambria. Lots of trails to walk, wonderful views of the ocean and the North hills. This is our home away from home and we Love it!
