Always a beautiful experience!

Staying at the Victorian Castle is always a pleasure. The decks are peaceful and have great forest views and occasional visits from local turkey and deer. The house itself is well appointed and cozy, and it’s a perfect location to walk into West Village. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else when visiting Cambria!

Casa Victorian is a a very unique house in a cool location. Bally is an excellent host, and the home is well-appointed. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived, which was a really nice touch. It's so nice to be able to take a short walk into town or to Moonstone Beach. We really enjoyed our stay!

Excellent Property With Gorgeous Settings

My family and I were at Bally’s property for 5 days. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and it felt like a home away from home. The house was set-up with festive spirit and was so close to all the beautiful beaches and we enjoyed spending our mornings and afternoons there whilst being cozy within the property at night time. Would highly recommend a stay here and we will be coming back for sure in Spring/Summer to enjoy what is on offer within this beach town!

Incredible house in perfect location!

This house was beautiful and clean. We loved the location to be able to walk downtown. I would highly recommend this house and this town to anyone on the west coast! My only issue was that the listing said there was laundry, but once looking closer, it was referring to off site laundry mat near by. I felt the way it was listed was misleading. There is not laundry available at the house.

One of the best

This property is one of the best we have stayed at in over 20 years of using VRBO virtually every summer. The house itself is very comfortable, well appointed and full of a wide range of art and books. We really enjoyed the privacy that this property affords, as you the lot size is large and you have no immediate neighbors. Maximum advantage has been taken of the lot with extensive and lovely tree-shaded outdoor decks. This is a primo rental and good value.

Almost Heaven!!!

I cannot say enough about how thoughtful and how wonderful this place is. This was our 34th year venturing out and finding a nice place to spend a long weekend. This is at least, in the top 3. A lot of places have thrift store furniture. This place had top drawer furniture, the beds were so comfortable, we all slept late (something we NEVER do), the living room had all new leather sofas and loveseats, the kitchen was very nicely done, the flooring was new and beautiful. We most definitely, WILL be returning! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!

The house was very nice, comfortable and a great location.

The kitchen was well appointed, but the coffee pot took forever to brew and then was luke warm...we microwaved to warm up. The fold out single beds were very comfortable...but we couldn't find extra sheets. Each bathroom had just one roll of toilet paper and no Kleenex. With five women, we barely had enough...got down to 4 squares and glad we had Kleenex in our car to use!!! Maybe just an oversight by the cleaning service. Great weather, great time celebrating our 65th birthday's!!!

It's a Home Away from Home

My girlfriends and I really wanted to get away from the stresses of every day life. We wanted to go to a quiet city with great wine, as well as visit Hearst Castle. This was a perfect choice for us! Not only are you about a mile away from the beach, but you can wake up in the morning and have coffee, sitting on the deck watching the ocean. The city was quiet and we were definitely able to catch up on our much needed sleep. Nit Wit Ridge is literally a 1 minute walk up the street and was really interesting to see. Heart Castle was only a 10 minute drive, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The scenary is just so majestic and relaxing. In addition, the main street is less than 5 minutes walking distance. We window shopped, wine tasted, and had plenty of time to collect shells and make dinner. The owners were more than accomodating. We literally had everything we needed. They were absolutely wonderful hosts and I would recommend this place to anyone!!! We would definitely stay there again. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your property - Teresa Rivera
