Our stay at Cambria Shores was relaxing and beautiful. We really appreciated the chairs on the lawn, the breakfast baskets, and the fireplace! This is quite a hidden gem amongst many of the newly remodeled places. I would stay here again for sure (and plan on it!)

Exceeded My Expectations! I booked this last minute because my friends were staying at the property next door, which had sold out—so I ended up here, and I’m so glad I did! This property blew the other one out of the water. Every room had at least a partial ocean view (except maybe the back corner ones), and the grounds were spacious and well-kept with grassy areas and lounge chairs—perfect for relaxing with your pup. They even provided dog towels, bowls, and other thoughtful pet amenities. A microwave in the room made it super convenient for both me and my four-legged travel buddy. The staff were genuinely kind, sweet, and helpful. I loved the cozy coffee bar, wine bar, and especially the breakfast basket delivered to my door each morning—a delightful touch. Honestly, I was blown away by my stay. The photos online don’t do this place justice. Highly recommend!

✨ Cambria Shores Inn – A Cozy Getaway with Canine Charm Our stay at Cambria Shores Inn was wonderful from check-in to check-out. The staff was friendly, and the whole experience felt relaxing and welcoming. The biggest highlight? It’s incredibly dog-friendly—a huge plus for pet lovers looking to travel with their furry companions. 🐶 Our room was spotlessly clean and had a cozy coastal vibe that made it easy to unwind. While the mattress showed signs of wear and could use an upgrade, the bedding was soft and inviting—we still slept great and woke up refreshed. A special basket was left at our door in the morning for breakfast with pastries, fruit and juice. What a wonderful treat. Overall, it was a lovely stay with a laid-back charm that left us looking forward to our next visit.
