Christmas at Cambria

We loved this house based on its location and view of the ocean. The kitchen especially is generously supplied with high end cooking equipment in addition to generous supplies provided - towels, blankets, fans, pillows, paper goods and condiments including crushed ice and coffee.The home is decorated beautifully with whale/ocean theme decor.

Beautiful ocean view

We loved the house so much that we didn’t want to leave. The views from the house and the deck are breathtaking! The best neighborhood in Cambria. The house is less than 5 min walk to the beautiful Fiscalini Ranch Preserve and beach. We are already planning on coming back.

Our stay at the Whale Watcher

We found the property clean and well stocked for our needs. The house is very comfortable with a beautiful view. How ever the garage was too small for our ford F150 and it barely fit length wise in the driveway. It would have been helpful to know that it was more suited for a smaller vehicle. when the garage door quit working the management addressed it in a timely manner. Overall, we would recommend this property.

Fantastic balcony and views

The house was as described - great views, well stocked kitchen, and lots of room in the main part of the house. For those that want to know, the main bedroom has a king bed, the other two rooms have full/double beds. I wish they would have put that in the description. There was no way to reach out to the management company within the VRBO App before booking which is a negative, but other than that, the house was clean, the location great, the views spectacular! I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Relaxing Vacation

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: This was our third time renting this house. We love it! We spent so much time on the wonderful patio enjoying the view. We even got to see a launch from Vandenburg. The kitchen has everything we need and the natural gas barbecue is a plus. The bedrooms are nice. We have already reserved this house for our next trip. Only a couple downsides. Parking is very limited. The queen bedroom could use a new mattress. The third bedroom is only a double bed.

I would rent this house again.
