Loved the location and where we were located next to the ocean! Probably the best place we ever stayed to check out tide pools and explore the coast.

Cozy and quiet at the beach
Cottage exactly as pictured and described. The check-in process was seamless - never needed to contact the host. The cottage is small and very cute with 2 bedrooms. The kitchen, though small, had everything we needed for our purposes.We really liked that the dining/living room looked directly to the sea.There are plenty of things to see in the area, from Cambria to San Simeon/Hearst to the elephant seals. And lots of beaches and hiking, which is what we enjoyed doing the most.We came for a quiet and calming recharge, and that is exactly what we got. Definitely coming back.

A little seaside treasure!
We wanted a calm and peaceful stay by the ocean and this home was just the place. Ours was a last-minute booking and Justin was super responsive throughout. Instructions were clear and check-in was hassle-free. The home itself is cozy and thoughtfully furnished with everything you'd need for a comfortable stay. I hope this treasure by the ocean continues to be preserved!

Fantastic location
This property location is Everything. Not only could we comb the beach, we could soak in sunsets as well. Conveniently located a few minutes north of Cambria and a few minutes south of Hearst Castle. We had fantastic communication with our host and had all questions answered immediately. It was also refreshing to see that there were accommodations for kids and babies. Overall we had a great time. Would stay again 10/10!

A little piece of heaven!
We stayed at this beautiful little place for a week, and believe me, it wasn't long enough! The location is perfect--the view is breathtaking, and the beach is sparsely populated. As for the house, well, it's adorable! Very cozy and very clean, and just could not be more comfortable. Justin and Missy have provided for every need, down to the Q-tips in the bathroom! They are wonderful hosts, always just a quick text away for any questions or concerns. We would never hesitate to stay here again, and in fact are hoping to do so next year.
All VRBO rentals should be this excellent (really).
Thanks so much Justin and Missy!

Peaceful amazing getaway
Stayed at Justin’s place for 3 nights with my 6 year old Shih Tzu. Everything was communicated accurately and in timely manner. Nice property, clean and exactly as listed. It is Close to many touristy spots but still very peaceful in an amazing neighborhood. Will certainly stay again in near future

Cozy beachfront property, great location
We had a wonderful stay at this cottage with our two dogs! The views of the ocean are amazing, and having stairs down to the beach was our favorite part. We sat outside on the back porch much of the time. The beach was walkable in both directions, and we watched some beautiful sunsets. The location is walking distance to several restaurants and a little store.
The cottage is stocked with super basics, which wasn't a problem since we knew that ahead of time. There were a few slight maintenance issues, and Justin was quick to respond.
We would definitely recommend a stay at this place!
