About this property

This gem is in the middle of the action. Walking distance from restaurants, shops, antiquing, wine tasting, nature walks and the beach. What a great place to maintain or get back that peaceful state of mind we are all searching for these days.

If you like to people watch or look at nature, the only thing you need to do is decide if you want to sit in the front of the house or the back of the house.

Perfect location in the perfect coastal town

This was my second visit to Cambria. My previous visit was a stay at one of the small hotels along the beach. Staying at The Yellow House on Main was much preferred! Having the shops outside the door, along with great food options, was lovely. I did still walk to Moonstone Beach (got 10k steps in before 8:15 am)! The house was clean with great amenities, the host was communicative, and the policies clear and easy to follow. Can’t wait to return!

Perfect location

Clean, comfortable, welcoming! The Yellow House on Main is located in the middle of downtown Cambria, with easy access to a great coffee shop and restaurant directly across the street and many cute stores along both sides in both directions. Tristan is an excellent host who communicates well with you and works hard to make sure you enjoy your stay. April is such a pretty time to visit, cool weather, sunny skies, everything green. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

About the host

Your host

This house was built in 1910, refurbished in 1988, and again in 2020. I call this my rehabilitating retreat. I have always had people living here, mostly family, but I have decided I love it too much not to be able to come to stay whenever I want. I spend half my time here and the other half in LA. Every time I come here, I leave refreshed and renewed. I am not sure if it is the ocean, the pine trees, the sunsets, or the house, but I suspect it is the perfect combination of all that makes this place so special.

I wanted to allow others to enjoy this little soul-refreshing Gem so I have decided to welcome others into my home in the hopes it can wash away some of your day-to-day grunge and replace it with a renewed energy

2020 was spent remodeling and feel I have been able to breathe life back into this old house. She responded well and is ready for new energy from those who visit.

Why they chose this property

This is a historic property and one of the original buildings in Cambria. The same builders who built this property also built the Hearst Castle. Because this house is commercially zoned, it is in the thick of shopping, restaurants, and wine tasting and is close to one of the best restaurants and coffee shop in town.

The view from the porch will remind you that "it IS the pines that make Cambria so special." The ocean is also just a short walk through the woods.

Lastly, if you have dogs, they love it here. Cambria is absolutely a dog-friendly town
