About this property

The Bonny Cottage By the Sea-Spring Special

The Bonny Cottage By The Sea-Spring Special 3/1 thru 5/21
*Not suitable for children under the age of eight*
Welcome! We are delighted that you found your way to our Bonny Cottage. This endearing house is poised high in an area affectionately referred to as Happy Hill, less than a mile to the villages and Moonstone Beach (and a delightful walk if you don’t mind the hill). As one of the original early Cambria cabins, it was built in 1923. Because of the age of the house it is not suitable for children under the age of eight. If you look you will find a sweet antique photograph of the original cabin and the owners on the wall just next to the front door. People speak of Cambria itself as a beloved, almost mythical place, a real-life Brigadoon. And there are as many ways to love Cambria as there are people who love it. There is the ocean, of course, and the picturesque east and west villages with their shops, galleries, cafes and restaurants less. Hearst Castle is ten minutes up the road at the foot of Big Sur and the elephant seals (and occasionally the Hearst Ranch zebras) are along the way. There is always wine tasting, sunset-watching, stargazing… and sometimes just sitting by the fire listening to the waves. This notebook offers some information and a few suggestions, but is in no way complete. We sincerely hope you enjoy your stay, that you remember it fondly and that you find your way back to us again one #0000548

Clean, well-equipped, quirky home in a gorgeous neighborhood, close to the beautiful little town of Cambria and to the stunning central coastline. This place was everything we hoped for and more. We especially appreciated having the outdoor space for our dog.

Our stay was great. Great location in a peaceful neighborhood. Cabin outfitted with all the goods. Only thing I can complain about was the bed wasn't comfortable in my opinion.

Perfect Getaway

We enjoyed the quietness of the neighborhood, the proximity to town and Moonstone beach, and the amenities at the cottage. The cottage is small, but had everything we needed for a relaxing few days. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the deck and enjoying our coffee in the morning, and watching the sunset in the evening. We would definitely stay here again.

This is a sweet, romantic step back in time. So many cozy and thoughtful touches throughout. Especially loved the candles on timers and the multiple spots to sit and enjoy the views. We will definitely be back.

Cute little cottage amongst houses of varying architectural style, so kind of cool. It’s a walkable neighborhood if you like some inclines. Great for the pooch too! The house is cute and fairly small, the king bed was fine so my wife and I were satisfied. The kitchen was small but nice, ok for everything we needed to do. The only thing was the gas stove’s pilot light was not on so you’d have to light with a match. We did not cook anyway so no big deal. There are nice views from virtually every room. We would return for sure.

It would be nice to have more lighting in the back yard for when the dog goes out in the middle of the night. Gorgeous oak tree. We had deer in the front yard one morning. You can't beat that!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the cottage—it exceeded all my expectations. The charming ambiance, coupled with the candles illuminating at 8 PM, made me feel right at home. It truly was a magical experience, incredibly cozy, and impressively well-stocked. The massive tree in the backyard, adorned with moss, added to the enchanting atmosphere.

Charming Historical Cottage

This historical cottage is bright and comfortable. The antiques and old photos of people having fun add to the charm of the place. There are two decks to enjoy with a distant view of the ocean and a front yard that was frequented by groups of quail. You are walking distance to town and the beach but you do need to walk up a steep hill going back. The cottage is well stocked and has everything you may need. This is a real gem!

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: We settled in for a 5 night stay. We loved it every day even more. It may take some guests, like us, to get used to the uneven floor but that is quickly forgotten and the peace and comfort of this coy house wins you over. We had quail, deer, and raccons visit us and the largest flock of turkeys was just down the street at sunset. We come to Cambria to relax and get away from the summer heat. The Bonny Cottage was the perfect choice.

Darling little historical cabin on a hill.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved our stay at this cute little quirky space. All the amenities we needed and plenty we did not - but others might!The outdoor spaces were my favorite- lovely view of the ocean over the rooftops below.The king bed was exceptionally comfortable! Can’t say anything about the other bed, we didn’t use it.The floor is a little tipsy, but expected in a 100+ year old home! Loved the automatic candles too, nice evening greeting after a day exploring the area.The cabin really is conveniently located to town and Moonstone Beach, but it is on quite a hill! I especially enjoyed perusing the bookcase! So many great books to enjoy -I did - during our stay.I would definitely stay here again. Our pups really enjoyed the trip too! Thank you SO MUCH for welcoming them into your cabin.If you’re a traveler looking for a luxury experience, this isn’t for you. If you love history, cozy, quirky places, you’ll love it here!
