Our focus was entirely on the dramatic and breathtaking ocean views and the thunderous breaking of the waves on the rocks. We easily overlooked some leaking in the roof due to a roaring storm. It just made the adventure more exciting. We felt like we were glamping on the ocean, but the bed was very comfortable and the place offered serene simplicity. Not your average vacation rental but the only place to stay in Cambria.
A rainbow highlighted our magnificent view.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: My wife and I have made this a destination for many years now. We bring our food and other staples so that once we unload our vehicle we don't leave the area. We walk around and come back to enjoy the house and the view. We would highly recommend this place on earth.

Amazing Ocean Front Stay for Two

The house is as close to the ocean as possible in a great neighborhood and one block from amazing hikes. Absolutely recommend staying here. Very clean and comfortable. They do require you to pick up keys and sign additional paperwork from a property management company despite booking through VRBO.
