A Cool House, A Cool View

Sit back on the deck and enjoy the beautiful views of Moonstone Beach. Only a short walk to the sand for morning meditation, or a sunset stroll. This is a great spot for those who would rather walk than drive on their vacation, conveniently located between Cambria's West Village and Moonstone Beach. Come into town for some local art, dining and shopping. Bring your dog along, Cambria is very dog-friendly, and yours will love sunning on the wraparound deck, the single level spaciousness, and other creature comforts. There is WiFi, DVD/CD player. Ocean Views from almost every room, new carpet, a new Crate and Barrel high-top table with 4 chairs, a Gas BBQ for the perfect BBQ, private and quiet. Appropriately named, this is a cool house, with a really cool view!! Single level, short walk to Moonstone Beach or West Village, spectacular ocean views, deck, washer / dryer, 55 inch TV over the fireplace in livingroom, Tv in the master bedroom, VCR, WiFi Internet, gas BBQ, wood burning fireplace and garage.

Vacation

Absolutely loved this house. The deck looking at the ocean and the open windows in the living room made it the perfect place to not want to leave. 5min walk to moonstone beach was everything that we were looking for. Will be looking to stay here again for sure.

Great deal in a cute beach community

Great stay. The plaçe was spacious and has all amenities like. Full kitchen washing machine etc. Location was great also. No regrets whatsoever. I would note that the tvs need work to connect to Internet but not very important.

Just as pictured and described

Adorable house and neighborhood. Perfect for our quiet family. The highway noise wasn’t terrible, but had we wanted to spend more time on the deck, it might have been problematic.

Sound of the surf

We have stayed here before and love the comfort and accessibility of this home. It's not on the beach, but the sound of the surf is magical, especially at night. IT's clean, well kept, and a really nice neighborhood.

Peaceful escape from LA

We were very happy with our stay this year in Cambria. The house was clean, the kitchen recently remodeled, the layout perfect, and the view and sound of the waves at night just so relaxing and restorative. We also loved the neighborhood and closeness to the east village. We will return soon.

Relaxing

Good comfortable house. Wish we knew ahead of time the house was steps away from HWY 1. The walk to the beach was longer than advertised. Needs more glassware. We did relax.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is clean things are in good working order. The kitchen is fairly well stocked. There is only one knife so be prepared for that if you plan on cooking. This house sits above HWY 1 and there is a lot of road noise all thru the day and night I would recommend earplugs. Overall we had. Great stay.

Last Family Trip

The property was nearly perfect for what will be my dad’s last trip to the coast, kitchen was well equipped to cook a stellar meal, check in was seamless, the views are truly stunning all day, I also appreciate the succulence and native birds it attracts, as well as its closeness to downtown Cambria. Only minor complaint is that the living room couch and chairs aren’t very comfortable

Favorite House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our favorite place to stay in Cambria. The location provides easy access to both Moonstone Beach and "downtown." The house is comfortable and clean. Its just 2 of us (+ the dog), but we like the extra space. In-garage parking is also nice. The back deck is great for wine, snacks and sunset.
