I choose this getaway because it is close to Fiscalini Preserve, which I love for hiking and birding. Plus, this particular property accepts dogs and I don't go anywhere without my doggo. I cook all my meals and the kitchen was fairly week equipped. Quiet and peaceful.

Greay stay in Cambria

We absolutely love the place. It was clean, as advertised and very close to downtown. One thing that i never thought about was the unit being on the second floor but we managed. Thanks, Alex, for the wonderful stay.

Wonderful spot in a beautiful location!

This property is in a gorgeous neighborhood on the ocean and within two blocks you are able to wander the Fiscalini Ranch property, which is stunning! The VRBO is great! Has pretty much everything we needed with the exception of some kitchen tools, but overall, we were super happy with our stay!

We enjoyed hiking on the trails close to the house. The proximity to Cambria and Hwy 1, and all the coastal sites made it easy to explore. Nice to come back to a relaxing atmosphere after exploring.

We had a great time

The apartment was in a great location for what we wanted to do and see. It was close to downtown Cambria and a few hiking trails. As well as close to other locations for visiting tourist sites, shopping and hiking. The apartment was fully stocked with dishes, towels, etc. (We didn't need a thing) It had a washer and dryer so we were able to continue our trip with clean clothes. We would definitely stay there again should be return to this part of California.

Fantastic Location and Host

This was a great experience - the property is so centrally located. Only about 15 minutes from Hearst Castle, 5 minutes from downtown Cambria where all the eateries are. Alex was very communicative and helpful with suggestions for how to maximize enjoyment on my trip. Him and his wife were very welcoming and no complaints about the property. My boyfriend Michael and I also brought our dog Baxter who very much enjoyed his stay as well. 10/10 would recommend and would stay again.

Great Place to see the sights from!

This VRBO was perfect central place for taking in the sights along Big Sur, exploring Paso Robles, Jade Cove and Hearst Castle, eating Olallieberry Pie at Linn's, and going to visit the elephant seals! The host communicated great and had alot of good suggestions for us. The bottle of wine awaiting our arrival was very welcome too! The place was ultra clean and quiet which is always the most important thing we look for in a place to stay. There is tons of room here and easily a place to kick back and relax!

Great Accommodations Close to Trails

The Cottage by the Sea was perfect for the two of us and our dog. We were met on arrival for access to the property. Were were also sent a text with lots of recommendations for hikes, activities and dining. We had no need for any further contact as there were no issues. The Fiscalini Ranch Preserve was very close for hiking the dog. Hiking on streets down to the Bluff Trail, across and back was a nice 3.7 mile hike with some hills. The cottage was clean and inviting. The deck looks across to a wooded lot and was relaxing. We cooked a few breakfast and dinners in the kitchen. We had everything we needed. We BBQ'd chicken and corn on the cob down in the patio. The BBQ utensils were available in the patio. The king bed was comfortable with lots of pillows. There were two other beds for sleeping which we did not use. The bathroom was large and clean with a double sink vanity and a large shower. There were extra linens and towels available. We were overall very happy and would stay here again.
