We had a great stay. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly and there are several places to sit outside. Inside the layout of the house allows for flexibility and it's well furnished with anything you'd need in the kitchen and throughout the house. I'll definitely stay here again.
Had a great time. Amenities were great. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Views were so nice. We had daily visits from the deer.

One of the most gorgeous places I’ve ever stayed, the view is just amazing, I loved sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine and watch the sunset. It was close to moonstone beach and to the cute little town for shopping and having dinner. And you must go to Harmony and visit the glass shop and pottery barn so fun 🤩

This house was perfect for our vacation. The downstairs bedroom with separate living room was perfect for our teenagers. Upstairs was great for the adults with the great view. Really appreciated the little extras with spices, plastic wrap/aluminum foil and even scissors in a "catch all" drawer in the kitchen.
The house was clean, comfortable and in a good location. Nice views and short walk to the coastline through a quiet and lovely neighborhood. Easy driving distance to main street. Thank you!
We traveled here from the midwest and invited California friends to visit. We love Cambria and this house was perfect for us. Clean, comfortable, spacious, private, ample parking, spectacular views, perfect location. It had everything we could possibly need--except table salt. It even had a Weber kettle BBQ grill AND charcoal--but it had gotten too wet to light. We really, really enjoyed it.
Furnishings are a little dated but property was very clean. Well stocked. Driveway is a little steep if you drive a RV van but plenty long enough. Community was quiet and you are a close drive to the amazing shops and coffee spots in Cambria. You can hear and have a great view of ocean.

All four of us and dogs enjoyed our stay. The home is in a residential area and does have a sea view from a distance. The backyard is fenced for dogs, which was nice. There were a lot of deer in the area which were fun to see, but sadly, there was a young deer that was struck by a car not far from the home, and had to be put down by a sheriff's officer as he couldn't walk - so do drive carefully in the area.
This house is Perfect for three couples. While it may not be close to the ocean you have beatiful views of the ocean and can always hear the crashing waves. The house was so clean I really couldn't believe it. The only downside was the fireplace was not in working order and we were really looking forward to fires in the early morning and late evenings. Honestly this house was really so comfortable and lovely , we will definately be back, but we are hoping the fireplace will be fixed by then, ; )
Loved it- hope we can stay again someday! Left a list of small maintenance things with office but did forget to mention the bath faucet in primary bathroom shower is loose and leaking while using.
House was clean, comfortable, wish I could live there permanently. Coffee pot was broken/clogged- took over two hours to brew a pot! We bought another one at a thrift store but it’s pretty slow too- but at least it has a timer! That was the only inconvenience- and the previous visitors hadn’t cleaned the bbq, so we had to clean their mess off of it before we could use it. The rug in main living room definitely has a dog/urine smell, and there was some lingering pet hair from previous visitors but wasn't bothersome
I would absolutely stay here again- the views, awesome patios, the sounds of the ocean and the deer everywhere… just an amazing time. Thank you!

The house layout was perfect for a get together for the 3 of us. 2 of the 3 bedrooms are huge and the third one is ample sized. It was nice for each of us to have our own bathroom.There is plenty of seating both inside and out. The beds were all very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with nice pots, pans and dishes. There were even big roasting pans and a mixer. The location is convenient to many sights. We enjoyed our stay very much.Our only suggestions would be to have better lighting as it is a bit dark and to have some zip locks, a few more spices and olive oil in kitchen.

Reviewer Comments:
The house is located in a quite residential area about 15 min walk to the coast, less than a mile away from Fiscalini preserve. It’s thoughtfully designed with extra furniture items, well stocked kitchen tools and supplies, bedding and bathroom needs. The view is fantastic especially on the 2nd floor deck. Three enclosed outdoor areas to enjoy. It’s spacious yet cozy and our family of four had an amazing time. We especially liked how the downstairs is very private with a door. The opportunities: the dishwasher needs to be either thoroughly cleaned or replaced. It’s actually disgusting and concerning as we couldn’t trust cleanness of the dinnerware in the cabinets. All dirty dishes turned up oily because it wasn’t cleaned and chalky from the detergent powder. Bathtubs drain slowly. I was told the 2nd floor is worse. Other than the two malfunctioning items the place is clean, and almost perfect. Thank you for the hospitality!

Prior reviews were accurate, we found the home super clean and very well equipped in the kitchen. Pleasant decor, comfortable beds, and pleanty of space and bedrooms to provide privacy. Location was great for the sea view, surf sounds, and exploring hikes. The only negatives were very minor and did not impact our enjoyment one bit.

Sounds of the Surf was an amazing vacation rental. We have rented from Scenic Coast Vacation Rentals for about 20 years. We've always been pleased. We stayed nine nights. The kitchen was stocked with appliances and dishes. We always use the kitchen daily.The decks were great, views, and wildlife. It accommodated our family so well. The backyard was great with morning sun and Being. We loved it.

We had a wonderful few days at Sounds of the Surf celebrating my sister’s 80th birthday. We were able to accommodate five adults for the overnights and four more Cambria friends for the daytime party. The house is well situated and very clean. It was great to have a front patio and a big backyard! My only negative comment is about the pullout bed in the den. It is not at all comfortable and certainly would not accommodate two adults. Kids would probably be fine on it. We will definitely rent this house again. Thanks!

This was the third time we have rented this house for our annual week with our grown daughters and their guys. It’s hard to find rentals with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. This was perfect, plus breathtaking view of the ocean and a short walk down the hill to the cliffs.

Reviewer Comments:
This house was very comfortable. It was extremely well maintained/updated and just right for our friends weekend. It was great to have 3 bathrooms. This is the second time we stayed in the Marine Terrace area. While it is nice, if returning to the house at night it is very dark; no street lights and a bit hard to find. A couple of suggestions: Replace the upstairs TV. It's old and small. Replace the seating on the upstairs deck. It's getting rusted.
