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.

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.

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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A singular and dynamic experience being right at the water's edge. We were able to view the sea and Fiscali Ranch in all its variety of colors and hear the waves from anywhere in the house. The living area is small but well planned out. The stove pipes were a charming touch to the electric fireplaces! It's ideal if you're looking for a quiet place that feels like a cozy home.

An answering service over the telephone. Staying in aa historical home is interesting. Too bad the owners are going to tear the home down rather than restore and update the home. The kitchen and bath were not clean. Only one set of towels and one bath tablet for soap for two people for 10 days. Four small windows for fresh air, one of them inoperable. In spite of that, the home was delightful.
The sunsets made it all worthwhile.

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.
