What a beautiful cozy beach front home! The pictures and description were exactly as expected. And, then once you actually see the ocean view… WOW! We had such a great trip and definitely going back.
Location, above the waves, quiet. We were busy exploring the area, but the best part of the day was sipping a glass of wine, watching a lone surfer, surrounded by birds diving for fish. So comfortable and clean. Only complaint is the lock on the dumpster needs oiling or replacement.We will be back next year.
All in all I had a lovely stay. It was just the peaceful break that I needed. I initially had a hard time finding it but other than that it was PERFECT. I hope to go back in the future!

Reviewer Comments:
We had a great time at the beachfront. Everything you would need was supplied. Weather was fantastic and the view-what a view to wake up to. Highly recommend this place
What a beautiful stay right on the ocean with a private staircase down to the beach. Well maintained property. We can’t wait to come back.
Be advised you’ll need to stop in Cambria on the way in to sign a contract before you can get the door code. No idea why this is necessary given the contract through Vrbo, but it isn’t too much out of the way, unless you’ve been driving all day and paperwork isn’t high on your todo list.

Reviewer Comments:
Ideally located and property very clean, comfortably furnished. My only downside was that there were no windows or door walls that opened. Fireplace was out of order and apparently has been for quite some time according to the website...please get that fixed as it would have been nice to have during the chilly evenings.

Reviewer Comments:
I can see no reason to stay at any other place on the Central California coast, as this one is absolutely perfect! The location is unparalleled, sitting on the edge of about a 20 foot high bluff over the beach, with the back door opening from the living/dining area right onto a flagstone patio with comfortable Adirondack chairs, overlooking the beach. The dining table has a view to die for, and sits in front of large plate glass windows that uniquely meet at an angle, affording a view up and down the beach in both directions. The kitchen is well-stocked (I love to cook, and am rather picky about this), the bed in the master bedroom (the only one we have slept on) is quite comfortable, and the en suite bathroom has a spacious walk-in shower. Any interactions with the manager on site (great guy, sometimes staying in the condo directly above), and staff in Cambria, have always been excellent. This is our second stay here, and unlike the first visit, this time I was unable to get the gas fireplace lit, but no matter, the ocean and beach views trump all. Be prepared for some spectacular sunsets! And with everything on the ground floor, it is perfect for us, as my wife uses a walker and wheelchair. I seriously will not consider staying at any other place now on the coast.

Location was great. Ring camera on patio/deck was too much. Would not stay here again because of that. No privacy. Views were great, beach location and access spectacular, but camera - 2 thumbs down.

It was perfect!
Everything was wonderful! The location… the close access out your door to the beach … the weather and temperatures!! Only drawback was one bedroom… the bed frame appeared to be broken… so bed was off/leaning !We had a great family time there and the surrounding towns with the wineries!!
We come to the coast once a year to enjoy the ocean and surrounding areas. We loved the Lighthouse and Hearst Castle. We also enjoyed wineries along the way.
Location was perfect. The ocean is right outside the patio door. House was spotless, beds we’re comfortable and location was so quiet. All we ever heard was the sounds of the waves. Highly recommend
