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.

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.

Quiet, bright, clean - great house for families

The views from the dining table/living room were incredible, and you can even hear the ocean. Comfortable furnishings and mattresses. Spacious master bedroom, the other two bedrooms were a little small, but fine for kids or couples who don’t need a large bed. Kids enjoyed the loft area/TV room. Rained while we were visiting so didn’t get a chance to utilize the veranda but there’s a nice outdoor seating area and table for 4 out on the deck. Garage is a bit of a tight fit for 2 vehicles and there is no parking on the street. Quiet neighborhood with access to a small rocky beach about 4-5 blocks away. They had a cabinet of games which we appreciated. Kitchen had everything we needed. The house was very clean and we had a wonderful stay. Enjoyed visiting Morro Bay, Moonstone Beach and the Brown Butter Cookie Company and Lunas coffee in Cayucos.

A little slice of heaven.

We loved this house so much!!!! It is such a perfect place to unwind and appreciate the beauty of Cambria and the Pacific Ocean. The kitchen was such a pleasure; everything we could have needed and more! The furniture was comfortable, especially the patio furniture. Every bedroom was cozy and comfortable and the bathrooms were so clean and lovely. The bedding, the fluffy towels and the snuggly blankets were just like home. We all loved the fireplace too. The decor was beautiful and very much appreciated. Every detail was thought of to create a perfect experience. This house will be our go-to getaway for future visits. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home with us. We look forward to our next visit. 🐳☀️

Cambria Beauty

This property captures the best of Cambria. Beautiful ocean views from every room & multiple decks. Comfortable & private neighborhood. We were so close to attractions : the Cambria Pines Lodge Christmas Market, Hearst Winery, Piedras Blancas to see the elephant seals, and the Paso Robles Wineries. The kitchen was so well stocked with everything to prep, cook & serve. Lots of games & puzzles, multiple sitting & viewing areas. We loved it all!

Escaping 2020

The location, accommodations, and view were stunning. It was well stocked with everything a house needs and more. We brought the family and the food and the location did the rest. We were able to escape the stress of the times and enjoy being together, watching the ocean, walking the paths, and just relaxing. We highly recommend this house to anyone who is looking for a retreat.

5 Star Stay

This is one of the best properties we have ever stayed at. With Covid we were a little apprehensive to go away. This beautiful home was spotless and had every amenity one could want. The quality of the linens, towels, kitchen items and furnishings was top 5 star quality. The photos accurately depicted the beauty of the home, as well as the breathtaking views. We plan on going back often.
