This place is fabulous and if I win the lottery I am making an offer. I watched otters and dolphins frolic while the birds flew by. Everything is perfect, I wish I could come back soon but it will have to wait for now.

Our focus was entirely on the dramatic and breathtaking ocean views and the thunderous breaking of the waves on the rocks. We easily overlooked some leaking in the roof due to a roaring storm. It just made the adventure more exciting. We felt like we were glamping on the ocean, but the bed was very comfortable and the place offered serene simplicity. Not your average vacation rental but the only place to stay in Cambria.
A rainbow highlighted our magnificent view.

Wonderful Place in the World

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I have made this a destination for many years now. We bring our food and other staples so that once we unload our vehicle we don't leave the area. We walk around and come back to enjoy the house and the view. We would highly recommend this place on earth.

An answering service over the telephone. Staying in aa historical home is interesting. Too bad the owners are going to tear the home down rather than restore and update the home. The kitchen and bath were not clean. Only one set of towels and one bath tablet for soap for two people for 10 days. Four small windows for fresh air, one of them inoperable. In spite of that, the home was delightful.
The sunsets made it all worthwhile.

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: A singular and dynamic experience being right at the water's edge. We were able to view the sea and Fiscali Ranch in all its variety of colors and hear the waves from anywhere in the house. The living area is small but well planned out. The stove pipes were a charming touch to the electric fireplaces! It's ideal if you're looking for a quiet place that feels like a cozy home.

We loved this beach house in Cambria. We love the beautiful cove & the unmatched view. It's close to everything in the area & fully worth taking at least a day to stay home & enjoy the beach & house. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit Cambria.

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: Stunning location and perfect stay for 2 people. (Stayed in early Oct. 2025)Being west-facing, it gets quite warm in the afternoon!Amazing to be right next to the nature preserve. Wonderful walking area.Very friendly neighborhood.Well-appointed kitchen. Make sure you find all 3 fans. We didn't see the one tucked in the corner of the bedroom hanging-clothes area until the last day.Only way to get airflow in the house (since there are only 3 small windows that open), is to open the doors, which do not have screens.

What a sweet nest. Funky cool mid mod architecture. But the location is what’s unbeatable. Hikes at Fiscallini. Saw dolphins, sea lion sunbathing, Deer by the front door, otters out the back. Truly special place. And Cambria is a hidden gem.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I had a wonderful time staying at this cottage. It was very private and the view was amazing. We love seeing the seal swimming out our window and hearing the sound of the waves crashing even while we were inside the cottage. I love how it is so close to the hiking trail. We didn't hike as much as we would like because it was so windy the days we were here. We would definitely love to return!

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.

Peaceful ocean retreat

This is the most stunning stretch of coastline in Cambria. This adorable cottage sits right next to Fiscalini Ranch preserve. This means you not only have a gorgeous ocean view but you also look out onto a beautiful sea cliff. The walking trail is right out the front door. This cove attracts sea otters and harbor seals as well as all kinds of sea birds. The check in/out process is so easy and the King sized bed is super comfortable. This is a wonderful home and I can’t wait to come back again!

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.
