We had a wonderful stay at this property! The views of the ocean and sound of waves crashing made it for a perfect base for our explorations of the area. The house had everything we needed, making our stay comfortable and easy. It’s a truly unique place with great character. We’d definitely stay here again!

This location is amazing! This is the perfect place to enjoy exploring the area or just sitting and watching the waves. We had otters every day, tons of birds, and even a dolphin sighting. Wonderful place.

Divine property

Having an unobstructed oceanfront view in a mid-century modern house was divine. Equally divine was the bed which was easily the most comfortable ever!

What’s with the ladder to the control tower?

The view is gorgeous of course. The steps in the house were a bit annoying. We both have arthritis, and hand rails would be nice. Never figured out how to work the shower drain. We were able to use the tv to get to amazon, but otherwise it was a total mystery. Otherwise really quite pleasant.

Beautiful oceanfront location!

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.

Weekend Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: 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.

Solo 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: It was easy to coordinate the rental with SCPM. There was not much communication but all the necessary details and even local tips were included. The house and where it is situated is truly special. Great experience. The local Farmers Market (Fri afternoons) provided well - Mighty Cap Mushrooms (yum!), breads, cheeses, meats, fruits and veggies. Spirits from Re:Find Distillery were excellent. Stock up and settle in. The network of trails in the adjacent preserve provided a good variety of scenery and intensity. The views from in the house and the ocean actions, powerful and relaxing.
